linux-toradex.git/lib/bucket_locks.c, branch v4.17-rc5 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules spinlock: Add library function to allocate spinlock buckets array 2017-12-11T14:58:39+00:00 Tom Herbert tom@quantonium.net 2017-12-04T18:31:44+00:00 92f36cca5773cbaa78c46ccf49503964a52da294 Add two new library functions: alloc_bucket_spinlocks and free_bucket_spinlocks. These are used to allocate and free an array of spinlocks that are useful as locks for hash buckets. The interface specifies the maximum number of spinlocks in the array as well as a CPU multiplier to derive the number of spinlocks to allocate. The number allocated is rounded up to a power of two to make the array amenable to hash lookup. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <tom@quantonium.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
