[PATCH 0/2] riscv: Enable percpu page first chunk allocator

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



While working with pcpu variables, I noticed that riscv did not support
first chunk allocation in the vmalloc area which may be needed as a fallback
in case of a sparse NUMA configuration.

patch 1 starts by introducing a new function flush_cache_vmap_early() which
is needed since a new vmalloc mapping is established and directly accessed:
on riscv, this would likely fail in case of a reordered access or if the
uarch caches invalid entries in TLB.

patch 2 simply enables the page percpu first chunk allocator in riscv.

  mm: Introduce flush_cache_vmap_early() and its riscv implementation
