The jiffies_till_sched_qs value used to determine how old a grace period must be before RCU enlists the help of the scheduler to force a quiescent state on the holdout CPU. Currently, this defaults to HZ/10 regardless of system size and may be set only at boot time. This can be a problem for very large systems, because if the values of the jiffies_till_first_fqs and jiffies_till_next_fqs kernel parameters are left at their defaults, they are calculated to increase as the number of CPUs actually configured on the system increases. Thus, on a sufficiently large system, RCU would enlist the help of the scheduler before the grace-period kthread had a chance to scan for idle CPUs, which wastes CPU time. This commit therefore allows jiffies_till_sched_qs to be set, if desired, but if left as default, computes is as jiffies_till_first_fqs plus twice jiffies_till_next_fqs, thus allowing three force-quiescent-state scans for idle CPUs. This scales with the number of CPUs, providing sensible default values. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> |
