[PATCH v7 1/2] nohz: add tick_nohz_full_add_cpus_to() and _remove_cpus_from() APIs

From: Chris Metcalf
Date: Fri Apr 10 2015 - 16:54:09 EST


The "removes_cpus_from" API is useful, for example, to modify a cpumask
to avoid the nohz cores so that interrupts aren't sent to them.

Likewise the "add_cpus_to" API is useful to modify a cpumask indicating
some special nohz-type functionality so that the nohz cores are
automatically added to that set.

v7: no change here, just in part 2/2.

v6: I think we may finally have accessor names that are OK

v5: (skipped this patch)

v4: update accessor names to make them clearer [PeterZ]

v3: no change here, just in part 2/2.

v2: put the "...set_cpus" API together with the change to
init_sched_domains() so that they can go into the timer tree
independently of other changes in my tree.
