|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The machine-independent
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface provides per-CPU, CPU-local memory reservations to kernel
|
|
subsystems.
|
|
.Fo percpu_alloc
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
.Fc
|
|
reserves on each CPU an independent memory region of
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
bytes that is local to that CPU, returning a handle
|
|
.Po
|
|
.Vt percpu_t
|
|
.Pc
|
|
to those regions.
|
|
A thread may subsequently ask for a pointer,
|
|
.Fa p ,
|
|
to the region held by the
|
|
.Vt percpu_t
|
|
on the thread's current CPU.
|
|
Until the thread relinquishes the pointer, or voluntarily sleeps,
|
|
the thread may read or write the region at
|
|
.Fa p
|
|
without causing interprocessor memory synchronization.
|
|
.Sh FUNCTIONS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width compact
|
|
.It Fn percpu_alloc "size"
|
|
Call this in thread context to allocate
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
bytes of local storage on each CPU.
|
|
The storage is initialized with zeroes.
|
|
Treat this as an expensive operation.
|
|
.Fn percpu_alloc
|
|
returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on failure, and a handle for the per-CPU storage on success.
|
|
.It Fn percpu_free "pc" "size"
|
|
Call this in thread context to
|
|
return to the system the per-CPU storage held by
|
|
.Fa pc .
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
should match the
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
passed to
|
|
.Fn percpu_alloc .
|
|
When
|
|
.Fn percpu_free
|
|
returns,
|
|
.Fa pc
|
|
is undefined.
|
|
Treat this as an expensive operation.
|
|
.It Fn percpu_getref "pc"
|
|
Disable preemption and return a pointer to the storage held by
|
|
.Fa pc
|
|
on the local CPU.
|
|
Use
|
|
.Fn percpu_getref
|
|
in either thread or interrupt context.
|
|
Follow each
|
|
.Fn percpu_getref
|
|
call with a matching call to
|
|
.Fn percpu_putref .
|
|
.It Fn percpu_putref "pc"
|
|
Indicate that the thread is finished
|
|
with the pointer returned by the matching
|
|
call to
|
|
.Fn percpu_getref .
|
|
Re-enables preemption.
|
|
.It Fn percpu_foreach "pc" "cb" "arg"
|
|
On each CPU, for
|
|
.Fa ci
|
|
the corresponding
|
|
.Vt "struct cpu_info *"
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa "p"
|
|
the CPU-local storage held by
|
|
.Fa pc ,
|
|
run
|
|
.Fo "(*cb)"
|
|
.Fa "p"
|
|
.Fa "arg"
|
|
.Fa "ci"
|
|
.Fc .
|
|
Call this in thread context.
|
|
.Fa cb
|
|
should be non-blocking and fast.
|
|
Do not rely on
|
|
.Fa cb
|
|
to be run on the CPUs in any particular order.
