[PATCH rcu 8/8] rcu/kvfree: Split ready for reclaim objects from a batch

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

 



From: "Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)" <urezki@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch splits the lists of objects so as to avoid sending any
through RCU that have already been queued for more than one grace
period.  These long-term-resident objects are immediately freed.
The remaining short-term-resident objects are queued for later freeing
using queue_rcu_work().

This change avoids delaying workqueue handlers with synchronize_rcu()
invocations.  Yes, workqueue handlers are designed to handle blocking,
but avoiding blocking when unnecessary improves performance during
low-memory situations.
