Impact: cleanup
In future, all cpumask ops will only be valid (in general) for bit
numbers < nr_cpu_ids. So use that instead of NR_CPUS in iterators
and other comparisons.This is always safe: no cpu number can be >= nr_cpu_ids, and
nr_cpu_ids is initialized to NR_CPUS at boot.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

Impact: new API to reduce stack usage
We're weaning the core code off handing cpumask's around on-stack.
This introduces arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask().Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

Impact: Implementation change to remove cpumask_t from stack.
Actually change smp_call_function_mask() to smp_call_function_many().
We avoid cpumasks on the stack in this version.(S390 has its own version, but that's going away apparently).
We have to do some dancing to figure out if 0 or 1 other cpus are in
the mask supplied and the online mask without allocating a tmp
cpumask. It's still fairly cheap.We allocate the cpumask at the end of the call_function_data
structure: if allocation fails we fallback to smp_call_function_single
rather than using the baroque quiescing code (which needs a cpumask on
stack).(Thanks to Hiroshi Shimamoto for spotting several bugs in previous versions!)

smp_mb() is needed (to make the memory operations visible globally) before
sending the ipi on the sender and the receiver (on Alpha atleast) needs
smp_read_barrier_depends() in the handler before reading the call_single_queue
list in a lock-free fashion.On x86, x2apic mode register accesses for sending IPI's don't have serializing
semantics. So the need for smp_mb() before sending the IPI becomes more
critical in x2apic mode.Remove the unnecessary smp_mb() in csd_flag_wait(), as the presence of that
smp_mb() doesn't mean anything on the sender, when the ipi receiver is not
doing any thing special (like memory fence) after clearing the CSD_FLAG_WAIT.Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha

Have smp_call_function_single() return invalid CPU indicies and return
-ENXIO. This function is already executed inside a
get_cpu()..put_cpu() which locks out CPU removal, so rather than
having the higher layers doing another layer of locking to guard
against unplugged CPUs do the test here.Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

data properly in the alloc && wait case. Secondly, I wasn't resetting
CSD_FLAG_WAIT in the for each cpu loop (so only the first CPU would
wait).After those fixes, the patch boots and runs with the kmalloc commented
out (so it always executes the slowpath).Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

I'd suggest something like the attached (boot tested) patch as the simple
fix for now.I expect the benefits from the less synchronized, multiple-in-flight-data
global queue will still outweigh the costs of dynamic allocations. But
if worst comes to worst then we just go back to a globally synchronous
one-at-a-time implementation, but that would be pretty sad!Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

pre-SMP initcalls. Now we remove the older interface, converting all

When a GFP_ATOMIC allocation fails, it falls back to allocating the

This adds kernel/smp.c which contains helpers for IPI function calls. In
addition to supporting the existing smp_call_function() in a more efficient
manner, it also adds a more scalable variant called smp_call_function_single()
for calling a given function on a single CPU only.The core of this is based on the x86-64 patch from Nick Piggin, lots of
changes since then. "Alan D. Brunelle" has
contributed lots of fixes and suggestions as well. Also thanks to
Paul E. McKenney for reviewing RCU usage
and getting rid of the data allocation fallback deadlock.Acked-by: Ingo Molnar
