[PATCH v3 3/8] padata: allocate work structures for parallel jobs from a pool
From: Daniel Jordan
Date: Wed May 27 2020 - 13:38:08 EST
padata allocates per-CPU, per-instance work structs for parallel jobs.
A do_parallel call assigns a job to a sequence number and hashes the
number to a CPU, where the job will eventually run using the
corresponding work.
This approach fit with how padata used to bind a job to each CPU
round-robin, makes less sense after commit bfde23ce200e6 ("padata:
unbind parallel jobs from specific CPUs") because a work isn't bound to
a particular CPU anymore, and isn't needed at all for multithreaded jobs
because they don't have sequence numbers.
Replace the per-CPU works with a preallocated pool, which allows sharing
them between existing padata users and the upcoming multithreaded user.
The pool will also facilitate setting NUMA-aware concurrency limits with
later users.
The pool is sized according to the number of possible CPUs. With this
limit, MAX_OBJ_NUM no longer makes sense, so remove it.
If the global pool is exhausted, a parallel job is run in the current
task instead to throttle a system trying to do too much in parallel.
