[PATCH v2 5/7] sparc: Remove on-stack cpumask var

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

 



In general it's preferable to avoid placing cpumasks on the stack, as
for large values of NR_CPUS these can consume significant amounts of
stack space and make stack overflows more likely.

Since the cpumask var resides in __init function, which means it's free
of any concurrenct access, it can be safely marked with static to get
rid of allocation on stack.

while at it, mark it with __initdata to keep it from persistently
consumed memory.
