Can't you use a per cpu structure to point to resources that are per cpu instead ? so you will not have to rely on CPU orderingCan you elaborate ? I don't get the part with the percpu structure.Something like: struct cpuidle_cooling_cpu { struct task_struct *tsk; wait_queue_head_t waitq; }; DECLARE_PER_CPU(struct cpuidle_cooling_cpu *, cpu_data);I got this part but I don't get how that fixes the ordering thing.Because you don't care of the CPU ordering to retrieve the data as they are stored per cpu directlyThat's what I did initially, but for consistency reasons with the cpufreq cpu cooling device which is stored in a list and the combo cpu cooling device, the cpuidle cooling device must be per cluster and stored in a list.
I'm not sure to catch your problem. You can still have cpuidle cooling device per cluster and stored in the list but keep per cpu data in a AFAICT, you will not have more than one cpu cooling device registered per CPU so one per cpu variable that will gathers cpu private data should be enough ?
Alternatively I can do:
struct cpuidle_cooling_device {
struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev;
- struct task_struct **tsk;
+ struct task_struct __percpu *tsk;
struct cpumask *cpumask;
struct list_head node;
struct hrtimer timer;
struct kref kref;
- wait_queue_head_t *waitq;
+ wait_queue_head_t __percpu waitq;
atomic_t count;
unsigned int idle_cycle;
unsigned int state;
};
struct cpuidle_cooling_device {
struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev;
struct cpumask *cpumask;
struct list_head node;
struct hrtimer timer;
struct kref kref;
atomic_t count;
unsigned int idle_cycle;
unsigned int state;
};
struct cpuidle_cooling_cpu {
struct task_struct *tsk;
wait_queue_head_t waitq;
};
DECLARE_PER_CPU(struct cpuidle_cooling_cpu *, cpu_data);
You continue to have cpuidle_cooling_device allocated dynamically per
cluster and added in the list but task and waitq are stored per cpu
