From 4518e6a0c038b98be4c480e6f4481e8676bd15dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:00:52 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] x86,percpu: use embedding for 64bit NUMA and page for 32bit NUMA Embedding percpu first chunk allocator can now handle very sparse unit mapping. Use embedding allocator instead of lpage for 64bit NUMA. This removes extra TLB pressure and the need to do complex and fragile dancing when changing page attributes. For 32bit, using very sparse unit mapping isn't a good idea because the vmalloc space is very constrained. 32bit NUMA machines aren't exactly the focus of optimization and it isn't very clear whether lpage performs better than page. Use page first chunk allocator for 32bit NUMAs. As this leaves setup_pcpu_*() functions pretty much empty, fold them into setup_per_cpu_areas().
