v2: - correct comments and commit logs (rasmus) - handle non-parallel mode more cleanly (rasmus) - reserve slots 8 at a time (rasmus) v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191121000304.48829-1-keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx Hi, As Rasmus noted[1], there were some deficiencies in how the Make jobserver vs sphinx parallelism logic was handled. This series attempts to address all those problems by building a set of wrappers and fixing some of the internal logic. Thank you Rasmus for the suggestions (and the "jobhog" example)! :) -Kees [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/eb25959a-9ec4-3530-2031-d9d716b40b20@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Kees Cook (3): docs, parallelism: Fix failure path and add comment docs, parallelism: Do not leak blocking mode to other readers docs, parallelism: Rearrange how jobserver reservations are made Documentation/Makefile | 5 +- Documentation/sphinx/parallel-wrapper.sh | 33 ++++++++++++ scripts/jobserver-count | 58 --------------------- scripts/jobserver-exec | 66 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 101 insertions(+), 61 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/sphinx/parallel-wrapper.sh delete mode 100755 scripts/jobserver-count create mode 100755 scripts/jobserver-exec -- 2.17.1
