From 22fc6eccbf4ce4eb6265e6ada7b50a7b9cc57d05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ravikiran G Thirumalai Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2006 01:01:27 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Change maxaligned_in_smp alignemnt macros to internodealigned_in_smp macros ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp is currently used to align critical structures and avoid false sharing. It uses per-arch L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX and people find L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX useless. However, we have been using ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp to align structures on the internode cacheline size. As per Andi's suggestion, following patch kills ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp and introduces INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT, which defaults to L1_CACHE_SHIFT for all arches. Arches needing L3/Internode cacheline alignment can define INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT in the arch asm/cache.h. Patch replaces ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp with ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp With this patch, L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX can be killed Signed-off-by: Ravikiran Thirumalai Signed-off-by: Shai Fultheim Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- include/linux/ide.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'include/linux/ide.h') diff --git a/include/linux/ide.h b/include/linux/ide.h index 7b6a6a58e465..4dd6694963c0 100644 --- a/include/linux/ide.h +++ b/include/linux/ide.h @@ -801,7 +801,7 @@ typedef struct hwif_s { unsigned dma; void (*led_act)(void *data, int rw); -} ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp ide_hwif_t; +} ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp ide_hwif_t; /* * internal ide interrupt handler type -- cgit v1.2.3
