![]() On small systems, in the absence of readers, expedited SRCU grace periods can complete in less than a microsecond. This means that an eight-CPU system can have all CPUs doing synchronize_srcu() in a tight loop and almost always expedite. This might actually be desirable in some situations, but in general it is a good way to needlessly burn CPU cycles. And in those situations where it is desirable, your friend is the function synchronize_srcu_expedited(). For other situations, this commit adds a kernel parameter that specifies a holdoff between completing the last SRCU grace period and auto-expediting the next. If the next grace period starts before the holdoff expires, auto-expediting is disabled. The holdoff is 50 microseconds by default, and can be tuned to the desired number of nanoseconds. A value of zero disables auto-expediting. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> |
