2016-09-19padata: Convert to hotplug state machineSebastian Andrzej Siewior1-1/+1
Install the callbacks via the state machine. CPU-hotplug multinstance support is used with the nocalls() version. Maybe parts of padata_alloc() could be moved into the online callback so that we could invoke ->startup callback for instance and drop get_online_cpus().

2016-05-20kernel/padata.c: removed unused codeRichard Cochran1-5/+0
By accident I stumbled across code that has never been used. This driver has EXPORT_SYMBOL functions, and the only user of the code is pcrypt.c, but this only uses a subset of the exported symbols. According to 'git log -G', the functions, padata_set_cpumasks, padata_add_cpu, and padata_remove_cpu have never been used since they were first introduced. This patch removes the unused code. On one 64 bit build, with CRYPTO_PCRYPT built in, the text is more than 4k smaller. kbuild_hp> size $KBUILD_OUTPUT/vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 10566658 4678360 1122304 16367322 f9beda vmlinux 10561984 4678360 1122304 16362648 f9ac98 vmlinux On another config, 32 bit, the saving is about 0.5k bytes. kbuild_hp-x86> size $KBUILD_OUTPUT/vmlinux 6012005 2409513 2785280 11206798 ab008e vmlinux 6011491 2409513 2785280 11206284 aafe8c vmlinux Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <rcochran@linutronix.de> Cc: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Cc: "David S.

2013-10-30padata: make the sequence counter an atomic_tMathias Krause1-2/+1
Using a spinlock to atomically increase a counter sounds wrong -- we've atomic_t for this! Also move 'seq_nr' to a different cache line than 'lock' to reduce cache line trashing. This has the nice side effect of decreasing the size of struct parallel_data from 192 to 128 bytes for a x86-64 build, e.g. occupying only two instead of three cache lines. Those changes results in a 5% performance increase on an IPsec test run using pcrypt. Btw. the seq_lock spinlock was never explicitly initialized -- one more reason to get rid of it.

2012-03-14padata: Fix race on sequence number wrapSteffen Klassert1-4/+2
When padata_do_parallel() is called from multiple cpus for the same padata instance, we can get object reordering on sequence number wrap because testing for sequence number wrap and reseting the sequence number must happen atomically but is implemented with two atomic operations. This patch fixes this by converting the sequence number from atomic_t to an unsigned int and protect the access with a spin_lock. As a side effect, we get rid of the sequence number wrap handling because the seqence number wraps back to null now without the need to do anything.

2010-07-31padata: Remove padata_get_cpumaskSteffen Klassert1-2/+0
A function that copies the padata cpumasks to a user buffer is a bit error prone. The cpumask can change any time so we can't be sure to have the right cpumask when using this function. A user who is interested in the padata cpumasks should register to the padata cpumask notifier chain instead. Users of padata_get_cpumask are already updated, so we can remove it.

2010-07-31padata: Pass the padata cpumasks to the cpumask_change_notifier chainSteffen Klassert1-19/+21
We pass a pointer to the new padata cpumasks to the cpumask_change_notifier chain. So users can access the cpumasks without the need of an extra padata_get_cpumask function. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2010-07-31padata: Rearrange set_cpumask functionsSteffen Klassert1-3/+3
padata_set_cpumask needs to be protected by a lock. We make __padata_set_cpumasks unlocked and static. So this function can be used by the exported and locked padata_set_cpumask and padata_set_cpumasks functions.

2010-07-31padata: Rename padata_alloc functionsSteffen Klassert1-4/+5
We rename padata_alloc to padata_alloc_possible because this function allocates a padata_instance and uses the cpu_possible mask for parallel and serial workers. Also we rename __padata_alloc to padata_alloc to avoid to export underlined functions. Underlined functions are considered to be private to padata. Users are updated accordingly.

2010-07-19padata: Added sysfs primitives to padata subsystemDan Kruchinin1-1/+4
Added sysfs primitives to padata subsystem. Now API user may embedded kobject each padata instance contains into any sysfs hierarchy. For now padata sysfs interface provides only two objects: serial_cpumask [RW] - cpumask for serial workers parallel_cpumask [RW] - cpumask for parallel workers Signed-off-by: Dan Kruchinin <dkruchinin@acm.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2010-07-19padata: Make two separate cpumasksDan Kruchinin1-36/+80
The aim of this patch is to make two separate cpumasks for padata parallel and serial workers respectively. It allows user to make more thin and sophisticated configurations of padata framework. For example user may bind parallel and serial workers to non-intersecting CPU groups to gain better performance. Also each padata instance has notifiers chain for its cpumasks now. If either parallel or serial or both masks were changed all interested subsystems will get notification about that. It's especially useful if padata user uses algorithm for callback CPU selection according to serial cpumask.

2010-07-14padata: simplify serialization mechanismSteffen Klassert1-3/+3
We count the number of processed objects on a percpu basis, so we need to go through all the percpu reorder queues to calculate the sequence number of the next object that needs serialization. This patch changes this to count the number of processed objects global. So we can calculate the sequence number and the percpu reorder queue of the next object that needs serialization without searching through the percpu reorder queues. This avoids some accesses to memory of foreign cpus. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2010-07-14padata: Check for valid padata instance on startSteffen Klassert1-1/+2
This patch introduces the PADATA_INVALID flag which is checked on padata start. This will be used to mark a padata instance as invalid, if the padata cpumask does not intersect with the active cpumask. we change padata_start to return an error if the PADATA_INVALID is set. Also we adapt the only padata user, pcrypt to this change. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2010-05-19padata: Use a timer to handle remaining objects in the reorder queues Steffen Klassert1-0/+2
padata_get_next needs to check whether the next object that need serialization must be parallel processed by the local cpu. This check was wrong implemented and returned always true, so the try_again loop in padata_reorder was never taken. This can lead to object leaks in some rare cases due to a race that appears with the trylock in padata_reorder. The try_again loop was not a good idea after all, because a cpu could take that loop frequently, so we handle this with a timer instead. This patch adds a timer to handle the race that appears with the trylock. If cpu1 queues an object to the reorder queue while cpu2 holds the pd->lock but left the while loop in padata_reorder already, cpu2 can't care for this object and cpu1 exits because it can't get the lock. Usually the next cpu that takes the lock cares for this object too. We need the timer just if this object was the last one that arrives to the reorder queues. The timer function sends it out in this case. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
