[RFC PATCH 1/3] Lazy percpu counters

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

 



From: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds lib/lazy-percpu-counter.c, which implements counters
that start out as atomics, but lazily switch to percpu mode if the
update rate crosses some threshold (arbitrarily set at 256 per second).

+ *
+ * This means we don't have to decide between low memory overhead atomic
+ * counters and higher performance percpu counters - we can have our cake and
+ * eat it, too!
+ *
+ * Internally we use an atomic64_t, where the low bit indicates whether we're in
+ * percpu mode, and the high 8 bits are a secondary counter that's incremented
+ * when the counter is modified - meaning 55 bits of precision are available for
+ * the counter itself.
