Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
253cbbff62
Currently, rcu_do_batch() sizes its batches based on the total number of callbacks in the callback list. This can result in some strange choices, for example, if there was 12,800 callbacks in the list, but only 200 were ready to invoke, RCU would invoke 100 at a time (12,800 shifted down by seven bits). A more measured approach would use the number that were actually ready to invoke, an approach that has become feasible only recently given the per-segment ->seglen counts in ->cblist. This commit therefore bases the batch limit on the number of callbacks ready to invoke instead of on the total number of callbacks. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
