      percpu, x86: don't use PMD_SIZE as embedded atom_size on 32bit · d5e28005
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      With the embed percpu first chunk allocator, x86 uses either PAGE_SIZE
      or PMD_SIZE for atom_size.  PMD_SIZE is used when CPU supports PSE so
      that percpu areas are aligned to PMD mappings and possibly allow using
      PMD mappings in vmalloc areas in the future.  Using larger atom_size
      doesn't waste actual memory; however, it does require larger vmalloc
      space allocation later on for !first chunks.
      
      With reasonably sized vmalloc area, PMD_SIZE shouldn't be a problem
      but x86_32 at this point is anything but reasonable in terms of
      address space and using larger atom_size reportedly leads to frequent
      percpu allocation failures on certain setups.
      
      As there is no reason to not use PMD_SIZE on x86_64 as vmalloc space
      is aplenty and most x86_64 configurations support PSE, fix the issue
      by always using PMD_SIZE on x86_64 and PAGE_SIZE on x86_32.
      
      v2: drop cpu_has_pse test and make x86_64 always use PMD_SIZE and
          x86_32 PAGE_SIZE as suggested by hpa.

      seqlock: add 'raw_seqcount_begin()' function · 4f988f15
      Linus Torvalds authored
      
      
      The normal read_seqcount_begin() function will wait for any current
      writers to exit their critical region by looping until the sequence
      count is even.
      
      That "wait for sequence count to stabilize" is the right thing to do if
      the read-locker will just retry the whole operation on contention: no
      point in doing a potentially expensive reader sequence if we know at the
      beginning that we'll just end up re-doing it all.
      
      HOWEVER.  Some users don't actually retry the operation, but instead
      will abort and do the operation with proper locking.  So the sequence
      count case may be the optimistic quick case, but in the presense of
      writers you may want to do full locking in order to guarantee forward
      progress.  The prime example of this would be the RCU name lookup.
      
      And in that case, you may well be better off without the "retry early",
      and are in a rush to instead get to the failure handling.  Thus this
      "raw" interface that just returns the sequence number without testing it
      - it just forces the low bit to zero so that read_seqcount_retry() will
      always fail such a "active concurrent writer" scenario.
