Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2006 19:16:42 +0200 From: Martin Peschke <mp3@...ibm.com> To: Andrew Morton <akpm@...l.org> Cc: "linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org" <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [Patch 0/2] CPU hotplug compatible alloc_percpu Patch 1/2 addresses alloc_percpu's generous way of grabbing memory for offline cpu's. It allows clients to fix up per-cpu data in their CPU hotplug handlers, avoiding waste of memory for unused cpu's. The existing alloc_percpu() / free_percpu() interface has been reimplemented on top of the enhanced interface. Patch 2/2 moves the statistic infrastructure over to the enhanced interface. This thread lead this patch set: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=115270746121933&w=2 Patches are against 2.6.18-rc1-mm2. Tested on s390, SMP (w/ and w/o cpu hotplug), and UP. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
