Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] lib/cpumask: deprecate nr_cpumask_bits
Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2022 16:08:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220905230820.3295223-5-yury.norov@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220905230820.3295223-1-yury.norov@gmail.com>
Cpumask code is written in assumption that when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK
is enabled, all cpumasks have boot-time defined size, otherwise the size
is always NR_CPUS.
The latter is wrong because the number of possible cpus is always
calculated on boot, and it may be less than NR_CPUS.
On my 4-cpu arm64 VM the nr_cpu_ids is 4, as expected, and nr_cpumask_bits
is 256, which corresponds to NR_CPUS. This not only leads to useless
traversing of cpumask bits greater than 4, this also makes some cpumask
routines fail.
For example, cpumask_full(0b1111000..000) would erroneously return false
in the example above because tail bits in the mask are all unset.
This patch deprecates nr_cpumask_bits and wires it to nr_cpu_ids
unconditionally, so that cpumask routines will not waste time traversing
unused part of cpu masks. It also fixes cpumask_full() and similar
routines.
As a side effect, because now a length of cpumasks is defined at run-time
even if CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is disabled, compiler can't optimize corresponding
functions.
It increases kernel size by ~2.5KB if OFFSTACK is off. This is addressed in
the following patch.
