Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 12/13] sched/fair: Allocate nohz.idle_cpus_mask during sched_init_smp()
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 19:28:48 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001192849.74788-13-kprateek.nayak@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001192849.74788-1-kprateek.nayak@amd.com>
nohz.idle_cpus_mask is not required soon after early initialization
since the boot CPU cannot go tickless idle before CPU is activated and
tick is started.
Defer allocation of nohz.idle_cpus_mask to sched_init_smp() via
init_sched_fair_class_smp(). This is preparation to convert
nohz.idle_cpus_mask to sparsebitmap (sbm) which requires architectures
to finish smp_prepare before initializing the core bits.
No functional changes intended.
