So, we'd have "get_this_cpu(x)" and "set_this_cpu(x, y)". So far, so good.
struct myinfo
{
int x;
int y;
};
static struct myinfo mystuff __per_cpu_data;
Now how do we set mystuff.x on this CPU?
I just think you're going to have to live with the generic implementation.
It's really not that bad 8)
Sorry,
