This series cleans up the rt-numa.h header. As we have a hard dependency on libnuma we can simplify the code in cyclictest. This allows remove all the small helpers in rt_numa.h. And with this we can remove the header and reduce the confusion with rt-numa.h While at it, I simplified the --smp vs --affinity vs --threads logic. There is no need for additional variables to keep state. With this we also make --affinity to behave as with the rest of rt-tests. That is a plan -a will be the same as with -S. There is no need for -S anymore but I think we should leave it in place for backwards compatibility. I suspect, there must be a lot of muscle memory out there :) Since signaltest has the same code as cyclictest, cleanup this tool as well. With all those cleanups in cyclictest and signaltest, rt-numa.h contains only a three functions. The final part of the series is to remove unnecessary function arguments (max_cpus). This also fixes the theoretical problem that a sparse cpumask would not be handled correctly. changes v2: - added more cleanup patches (7-20) Daniel Wagner (20): cyclictest: Always use libnuma cyclictest: Use numa API directly cyclictest: Use affinity_mask for stearing thread placement cyclictest: Mimik --smp behavior with --affinity cyclictest: Simplify --smp vs --affinity vs --threads argument logic cyclictest: Move verbose message into main signaltest: Always use libnuma signaltest: Use affinity_mask for stearing thread placement signaltest: Simplify --smp vs --affinity vs --threads argument logic rt-numa: Remove unused definitions and numa_initialize() rt-numa: Add generic cpu_for_thread() helper rt-numa: Use mask size for iterator limit rt-numa: Remove max_cpus argument from parse_cpusmask rt-numa: Use error message helpers signaltest: Remove unused max_cpus argument from process_options cyclictest: Remove unused max_cpus argument from process_options rt-numa: Use CPU_SETSIZE as upper loop limit rt-numa: Remove used max_cpus argument from cpu_for_thread() cyclictest: Remove max cpus used verbose information cyclictest: Remove unecessary local variable src/cyclictest/cyclictest.c | 177 +++++++++++++----------------------- src/cyclictest/rt_numa.h | 98 -------------------- src/include/rt-numa.h | 13 +-- src/lib/rt-numa.c | 44 ++++----- src/oslat/oslat.c | 3 +- src/signaltest/signaltest.c | 80 ++++------------ 6 files changed, 101 insertions(+), 314 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 src/cyclictest/rt_numa.h -- 2.29.2
