[PATCH v6 0/4] rcu: call_rcu() power improvements

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

 



v6 version of RCU lazy patches based on rcu/next branch.

To facilitate easier merge, I dropped tracing and other patches and just
implemented the new changes. I will post the tracing patches later along with
rcutop as I need to add new tracepoints that Frederic suggested.

Main changes:
1. rcu_barrier() wake up only for lazy bypass list.
2. Make all call_rcu() default-lazy and add call_rcu_flush() API.
3. Take care of some callers using call_rcu_flush() API.

I am seeing good performance and power with these patches on real ChromeOS x86
asymmetric hardware.

v5 cover letter is here:
