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 --- include/linux/mmzone.h | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'include/linux/mmzone.h') diff --git a/include/linux/mmzone.h b/include/linux/mmzone.h index 2a89c132ba9..7e4ae6ab197 100644 --- a/include/linux/mmzone.h +++ b/include/linux/mmzone.h @@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ struct pglist_data; #if defined(CONFIG_SMP) struct zone_padding { char x[0]; -} ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp; +} ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp; #define ZONE_PADDING(name) struct zone_padding name; #else #define ZONE_PADDING(name) @@ -233,7 +233,7 @@ struct zone { * rarely used fields: */ char *name; -} ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp; +} ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp; /* -- cgit v1.2.3
