Subject: [PATCH] nohz: Change tick_dep_mask from 'unsigned long' to 'unsigned int'
Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2016 10:53:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160315095337.GC7943@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CA+55aFyqG0xriTOus7wu527rdYHeLX3Qidt9ZzggL+MsR=_iQQ@mail.gmail.com>
Linus noticed that the new tick_dep_mask types introduced in:
d027d45d8a17 ("nohz: New tick dependency mask")
... are sloppily defined as 'unsigned long' - which is wasteful
to carry just 4 bits and which may also create suboptimal data
types on 64-bit systems with word alignment padding holes in them.
Fix this by changing the type to the more natural 'unsigned int'.
(The xchg_or() API will work fine with 'unsigned int' as well.)
