[PATCH rcu 3/9] rcu/tree: Reduce wake up for synchronize_rcu() common case

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

 



From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In the synchronize_rcu() common case, we will have less than
SR_MAX_USERS_WAKE_FROM_GP number of users per GP. Waking up the kworker
is pointless just to free the last injected wait head since at that point,
all the users have already been awakened.

Introduce a new counter to track this and prevent the wakeup in the
common case.
