[PATCH RFC] cpu alloc cleanups and implementation improvement

From: Rusty Russell
Date: Mon Nov 17 2008 - 08:23:42 EST


Hi all,

I've argued with Christoph that his implementation contains gratuitous
obsolescence of perfectly-good APIs; hopefully providing real patches will
give us a more useful debate.

It's in easy stages. There are three general cleanup patches, then four
patches to expose the current module percpu allocator as a the general dynamic
percpu allocator, then documentation, a new __get_cpu_ptr() primitive and
finally a test patch.

I hope this adds some light,
Rusty.
