[PATCH] rcu: simplify/improve batch tuning
Kill a hard-to-calculate 'rsinterval' boot parameter and per-cpu rcu_data.last_rs_qlen. Instead, it adds adds a flag rcu_ctrlblk.signaled, which records the fact that one of CPUs has sent a resched IPI since the last rcu_start_batch(). Roughly speaking, we need two rcu_start_batch()s in order to move callbacks from ->nxtlist to ->donelist. This means that when ->qlen exceeds qhimark and continues to grow, we should send a resched IPI, and then do it again after we gone through a quiescent state. On the other hand, if it was already sent, we don't need to do it again when another CPU detects overflow of the queue. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: Paul E.
