From 8fdc929f5727d999d11ba3763b92f6eeacc096f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Metcalf Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2013 11:35:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] dynticks: avoid flow_cache_flush() interrupting every core Previously, if you did an "ifconfig down" or similar on one core, and the kernel had CONFIG_XFRM enabled, every core would be interrupted to check its percpu flow list for items that could be garbage collected. With this change, we generate a mask of cores that actually have any percpu items, and only interrupt those cores. When we are trying to isolate a set of cpus from interrupts, this is important to do. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- Reading git-format-patch failed
