Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2009 23:00:29 +0100 From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com> To: torvalds@...l.org, akpm@...ux-foundation.org, mingo@...e.hu Cc: dhowells@...hat.com, jeremy@...p.org, tglx@...utronix.de, hpa@...or.com, tj@...nel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, tony.luck@...el.com Subject: [PATCH 2/2] PERCPU: Collect the DECLARE/DEFINE declarations together Collect the DECLARE/DEFINE declarations together in linux/percpu-defs.h so that they're in one place, and give them descriptive comments, particularly the SHARED_ALIGNED variant. It would be nice to collect these in linux/percpu.h, but that's not possible without sorting out the severe #include recursion between the x86 arch headers and the general headers (and possibly other arches too).
