Subject[PATCH v1 1/3] SMP: kill redundant call_function_data->cpumask_ipi field
Date
From: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@huawei.com>

Commit f44310b98ddb7 "smp: Fix SMP function call empty cpu mask race"
introduced field call_function_data->cpumask_ipi to resolve a race
condition in smp_call_function_many().

Later commit 9a46ad6d6df3 "smp: make smp_call_function_many() use logic
similar to smp_call_function_single()" fixed the same issue in another
way when optimizing smp_call_function_many(), which then obsoletes
changes introduced by commit f44310b98ddb7. So revert it.

We may also keep call_function_data->cpumask_ipi field and use it to
optimize smp_call_function_many() as below:
diff --git a/kernel/smp.c b/kernel/smp.c
index fe9f773..dd852fb 100644
--- a/kernel/smp.c
+++ b/kernel/smp.c
@@ -428,6 +428,8 @@ void smp_call_function_many(const struct cpumask *mask,
csd->info = info;

raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&dst->lock, flags);
+ if (list_empty(&dst->list))
+ cpumask_clear_cpu(cpu, cfd->cpumask_ipi);
list_add_tail(&csd->list, &dst->list);
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dst->lock, flags);
}
But I have no platforms to verify the optimization effect,
so simpify the code first.
