From fc0763f53e3ff6a6bfa66934662a3446b9ca6f16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Shi, Alex" Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2011 14:56:12 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] nohz: Remove nohz_cpu_mask RCU no longer uses this global variable, nor does anyone else. This commit therefore removes this variable. This reduces memory footprint and also removes some atomic instructions and memory barriers from the dyntick-idle path.
