From 6c9ae009b298753a3baf71298d676a68b5a10c8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 15:45:38 -0800 Subject: irq: use per_cpu kstat_irqs Use modern per_cpu API to increment {soft|hard}irq counters, and use per_cpu allocation for (struct irq_desc)->kstats_irq instead of an array. This gives better SMP/NUMA locality and saves few instructions per irq. With small nr_cpuids values (8 for example), kstats_irq was a small array (less than L1_CACHE_BYTES), potentially source of false sharing. In the !CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ case, remove the huge, NUMA/cache unfriendly kstat_irqs_all[NR_IRQS][NR_CPUS] array. Note: we still populate kstats_irq for all possible irqs in early_irq_init(). We probably could use on-demand allocations. (Code included in alloc_descs()). Problem is not all IRQS are used with a prior alloc_descs() call. kstat_irqs_this_cpu() is not used anymore, remove it.
