Subject: [RFC PATCH 11/19] sched/topology: Introduce "nohz_shared_list" to keep track of sd->shared
Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2025 04:15:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250904041516.3046-12-kprateek.nayak@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250904041516.3046-1-kprateek.nayak@amd.com>
Chain together all the "sd_nohz->shared" objects in a RCU protected
"nohz_shared_list" to get the full view of system for nohz idle
balancing. Since __sds_nohz_idle_alloc() is also responsible for
initializing the list_head, rename it to __sds_nohz_idle_alloc_init() to
fit the bill.
List modifications are protected by the "nohz_shared_list_lock" and
freeing of sd->shared on the list is delayed by one grace period to
ensure all the untracked references to the shared object under RCU are
dropped.
Users of "nohz_shared_list" will be added in subsequent patches where
all the current users of "nohz.idle_cpus" will be converted to use the
distributed tracking.
