Message-Id: <1311836172-10278-1-git-send-email-alex.shi@intel.com> Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2011 14:56:12 +0800 From: Alex Shi <alex.shi@...el.com> To: tglx@...utronix.de, pzijlstr@...hat.com Cc: seakeel@...il.com, paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, tim.c.chen@...el.com Subject: [PATCH] nohz:remove nohz_cpu_mask From: Shi, Alex <alex.shi@...el.com> The rcu didn't use this global variable now. Currently no user on it. Since no clear usage of this variable, why not remove it? That can save a cache-line in all cpus and reduce atomic variable sync contention.
