From: Chris Metcalf <cmetc...@ezchip.com> The "clear" API is useful, for example, to modify a cpumask to avoid the nohz cores so that interrupts aren't sent to them.
Likewise the "set" API is useful to modify a cpumask indicating some special nohz-type functionality so that the nohz cores are automatically added to that set. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetc...@ezchip.com> --- Frederic, if you could ack this patch (and maybe the next) before I ask for it to be pulled into the timer tree that would be great. I will wait a few days before asking in case anyone else has any other issues or would like to provide an Acked-by. v2: put the "...set_cpus" API together with the change to init_sched_domains() so that they can go into the timer tree independently of other changes in my tree. include/linux/tick.h | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) diff --git a/include/linux/tick.h b/include/linux/tick.h index 9c085dc12ae9..29456c443970 100644 --- a/include/linux/tick.h +++ b/include/linux/tick.h @@ -186,6 +186,18 @@ static inline bool tick_nohz_full_cpu(int cpu) return cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, tick_nohz_full_mask); } +static inline void tick_nohz_full_clear_cpus(struct cpumask *mask) +{ + if (tick_nohz_full_enabled()) + cpumask_andnot(mask, mask, tick_nohz_full_mask); +} + +static inline void tick_nohz_full_set_cpus(struct cpumask *mask) +{ + if (tick_nohz_full_enabled()) + cpumask_or(mask, mask, tick_nohz_full_mask); +} + extern void __tick_nohz_full_check(void); extern void tick_nohz_full_kick(void); extern void tick_nohz_full_kick_cpu(int cpu); @@ -194,6 +206,8 @@ extern void __tick_nohz_task_switch(struct task_struct *tsk); #else static inline bool tick_nohz_full_enabled(void) { return false; } static inline bool tick_nohz_full_cpu(int cpu) { return false; } +static inline void tick_nohz_full_clear_cpus(struct cpumask *mask) { } +static inline void tick_nohz_full_set_cpus(struct cpumask *mask) { } static inline void __tick_nohz_full_check(void) { } static inline void tick_nohz_full_kick_cpu(int cpu) { } static inline void tick_nohz_full_kick(void) { } -- 2.1.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
