Re: [PATCH v2 2/5] preempt/dynamic: Introduce preempt mode accessors

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

 





Le 10/11/2021 à 21:24, Valentin Schneider a écrit :
CONFIG_PREEMPT{_NONE, _VOLUNTARY} designate either:
o The build-time preemption model when !PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
o The default boot-time preemption model when PREEMPT_DYNAMIC

IOW, using those on PREEMPT_DYNAMIC kernels is meaningless - the actual
model could have been set to something else by the "preempt=foo" cmdline
parameter.

Introduce a set of helpers to determine the actual preemption mode used by
the live kernel.

Those are trivial tests supposed to be used in fast pathes. They should be static inlines in order to minimise the overhead.

Would be better to use static inlines here as well instead of macros.

I'm not sure that's worth a macro. You only have 3 accessors, 2 lines of code each. Just define all 3 in plain text.

CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC is based on using strategies like static_calls in order to minimise the overhead. For those accessors you should use the same kind of approach and use things like jump_labels in order to not redo the test at each time and minimise overhead as much as possible.
