From f27dde8deef33c9e58027df11ceab2198601d6a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2013 14:55:31 +0200 Subject: sched: Add NEED_RESCHED to the preempt_count In order to combine the preemption and need_resched test we need to fold the need_resched information into the preempt_count value. Since the NEED_RESCHED flag is set across CPUs this needs to be an atomic operation, however we very much want to avoid making preempt_count atomic, therefore we keep the existing TIF_NEED_RESCHED infrastructure in place but at 3 sites test it and fold its value into preempt_count; namely: - resched_task() when setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED on the current task - scheduler_ipi() when resched_task() sets TIF_NEED_RESCHED on a remote task it follows it up with a reschedule IPI and we can modify the cpu local preempt_count from there. - cpu_idle_loop() for when resched_task() found tsk_is_polling(). We use an inverted bitmask to indicate need_resched so that a 0 means both need_resched and !atomic. Also remove the barrier() in preempt_enable() between preempt_enable_no_resched() and preempt_check_resched() to avoid having to reload the preemption value and allow the compiler to use the flags of the previuos decrement. I couldn't come up with any sane reason for this barrier() to be there as preempt_enable_no_resched() already has a barrier() before doing the decrement.
