[v7,0/1] cu/nocb: Delete local variable 'need_rcu_nocb_mask' in rcu_init_nohz()

Message

Leizhen (ThunderTown) Sept. 13, 2022, 3 a.m. UTC

v6 --> v7:
1. Replace "#if defined(CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL)" with
   "IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL)".
2. Drop patch 2, Keep the semantics of "CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL=y"
   unchanged. So the test result of case 7) is different in v6 and v7.

Test cases and test results as below:
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
| CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL  | CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL |    cmdline    |
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
1)         N         |                 N               |     none      |
2)         N         |                 N               | rcu_nocbs=1-2 |
3)         Y         |                 N               | nohz_full=2-3 |
4)         Y         |                 N               | rcu_nocbs=1 nohz_full=3 |
5)         Y         |                 Y               |      none     |
6)         Y         |                 Y               | rcu_nocbs=1-2 |
7)         Y         |                 Y               | nohz_full=2-3 |
8)         Y         |                 Y               | rcu_nocbs=1 nohz_full=3 |
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
dmesg | grep "Offload RCU callbacks"
1) none
2) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 1-2.
3) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 2-3.
4) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 1,3.
5) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 0-3.
6) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 1-2.
7) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 2-3.
8) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 1,3.


v5 --> v6:
1. Frist, update patch 1/2, so that, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL=y takes
   effect only when there are no 'rcu_nocbs=' and 'nohz_full='. Retain the same
   semantics as the original.
2. Then, add patch 2/2, so that, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL=y takes effect
   as long as there is no "rcu_nocbs=" boot parameter. This is suggested by
   Frederic Weisbecker.

Test cases and test results as below:
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
| CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL  | CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL |    cmdline    |
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
1)         N         |                 N               |     none      |
2)         N         |                 N               | rcu_nocbs=1-2 |
3)         Y         |                 N               | nohz_full=2-3 |
4)         Y         |                 N               | rcu_nocbs=1 nohz_full=3 |
5)         Y         |                 Y               |      none     |
6)         Y         |                 Y               | rcu_nocbs=1-2 |
7)         Y         |                 Y               | nohz_full=2-3 |
8)         Y         |                 Y               | rcu_nocbs=1 nohz_full=3 |
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

dmesg | grep "Offload RCU callbacks"
1) none
2) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 1-2.
3) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 2-3.
4) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 1,3.
5) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 0-3.
6) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 1-2.
7) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 0-3.
8) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 1,3.


v4 --> v5:
1. Cancel eliminate rcu_state.nocb_is_setup. It is useful for case 1) below.

Test cases and test results as below:
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
| CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL  | CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL |    cmdline    |
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
1)         N         |                 N               |     none      |
2)         N         |                 N               | rcu_nocbs=1-2 |
3)         Y         |                 N               | nohz_full=1-2 |
4)         Y         |                 Y               |     none      |

2) 3) 4)
The same to v4.


v3 --> v4:
Fix a build warning.
-       struct cpumask *cpumask = NULL;
+       const struct cpumask *cpumask = NULL;

v2 --> v3:
1. Eliminate rcu_state.nocb_is_setup
2. Update the code based on the above patch and commit b37a667c6242
   ("rcu/nocb: Add an option to offload all CPUs on boot").
