Subject: [PATCH] mm: percpu: Add PCPU_FC_FIXED to pcpu_fc for setting fixed
pcpu_atom_size.
From: ShuoX Liu <shuox.liu@...el.com>
We are enabling Android on Medfield. On i386, if the board has more
physical memory, it means the vmalloc space is small. If the vmalloc
space is big, it means physical memory is small. Dynamic percpu
allocation is based on VM space. On i386, by default, the chunk size
is 4MB. As vmalloc space is <= 128M, percpu allocation often fails.
If using PERCPU_FC_PAGE, system can't go to deep sleep states.
The patch add one more chosen to percpu_alloc kernel parameter.
Besides page,embed,auto are available for percpu_alloc, memory size
suffixed with %K,%M are supported. It set pcpu_atom_size to fixed
wanted size.
