Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2012 18:09:12 -0400 From: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@...driver.com> To: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@...csson.com>, Ying Xue <ying.xue@...driver.com>, Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@...driver.com> Subject: [PATCH net-next 7/9] tipc: add __read_mostly annotations to several global variables From: Ying Xue <ying.xue@...driver.com> Added to the following: - tipc_random - tipc_own_addr - tipc_max_ports - tipc_net_id - tipc_remote_management - handler_enabled The above global variables are read often, but written rarely. Use __read_mostly to prevent them being on the same cacheline as another variable which is written to often, which would cause cacheline bouncing.
