From 22fc6eccbf4ce4eb6265e6ada7b50a7b9cc57d05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ravikiran G Thirumalai Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2006 01:01:27 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Change maxaligned_in_smp alignemnt macros to internodealigned_in_smp macros ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp is currently used to align critical structures and avoid false sharing. It uses per-arch L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX and people find L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX useless. However, we have been using ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp to align structures on the internode cacheline size. As per Andi's suggestion, following patch kills ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp and introduces INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT, which defaults to L1_CACHE_SHIFT for all arches. Arches needing L3/Internode cacheline alignment can define INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT in the arch asm/cache.h. Patch replaces ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp with ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp With this patch, L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX can be killed Signed-off-by: Ravikiran Thirumalai Signed-off-by: Shai Fultheim Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- arch/x86_64/kernel/init_task.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'arch/x86_64/kernel/init_task.c') diff --git a/arch/x86_64/kernel/init_task.c b/arch/x86_64/kernel/init_task.c index e0ba5c1043f..ce31d904d60 100644 --- a/arch/x86_64/kernel/init_task.c +++ b/arch/x86_64/kernel/init_task.c @@ -44,6 +44,6 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(init_task); * section.
