2008-01-28	[LIB] pcounter : unline too big functions	Eric Dumazet
	Before pushing pcounter to Linus tree, I would like to make some adjustments. Goal is to reduce kernel text size, by unlining too big functions. When a pcounter is bound to a statically defined per_cpu variable, we define two small helpers functions. (No more folding function using the fat for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) ... ) static DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, NAME##_pcounter_values); static void NAME##_pcounter_add(struct pcounter self, int val) { __get_cpu_var(NAME##_pcounter_values) += val; } static int NAME##_pcounter_getval(const struct pcounter self, int cpu) { return per_cpu(NAME##_pcounter_values, cpu); } Fast path is therefore unchanged, while folding/alloc/free is now unlined. This saves 228 bytes on i386 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-01-28	[PCOUNTER] Fix build error without CONFIG_SMP	Ilpo Järvinen
	I keep getting this build error and couldn't find anyone fixing it in archives. ...Maybe all net developers except me build just SMP kernels :-).

2008-01-28	[LIB]: Introduce struct pcounter	Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
	This just generalises what was introduced by Eric Dumazet for the struct proto inuse field in 286ab3d46058840d68e5d7d52e316c1f7e98c59f: [NET]: Define infrastructure to keep 'inuse' changes in an efficent SMP/NUMA way. Please look at the comment in there to see the rationale. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
