We rename padata_alloc to padata_alloc_possible because this function allocates a padata_instance and uses the cpu_possible mask for parallel and serial workers. Also we rename __padata_alloc to padata_alloc to avoid to export underlined functions. Underlined functions are considered to be private to padata. Users are updated accordingly.

Added sysfs primitives to padata subsystem. Now API user may embedded kobject each padata instance contains into any sysfs hierarchy. For now padata sysfs interface provides only two objects: serial_cpumask [RW] - cpumask for serial workers parallel_cpumask [RW] - cpumask for parallel workers Signed-off-by: NDan Kruchinin <dkruchinin@acm.org> Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

The aim of this patch is to make two separate cpumasks for padata parallel and serial workers respectively. It allows user to make more thin and sophisticated configurations of padata framework. For example user may bind parallel and serial workers to non-intersecting CPU groups to gain better performance. Also each padata instance has notifiers chain for its cpumasks now. If either parallel or serial or both masks were changed all interested subsystems will get notification about that. It's especially useful if padata user uses algorithm for callback CPU selection according to serial cpumask.

We count the number of processed objects on a percpu basis, so we need to go through all the percpu reorder queues to calculate the sequence number of the next object that needs serialization. This patch changes this to count the number of processed objects global. So we can calculate the sequence number and the percpu reorder queue of the next object that needs serialization without searching through the percpu reorder queues. This avoids some accesses to memory of foreign cpus. Signed-off-by: NSteffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

This patch introduces the PADATA_INVALID flag which is checked on padata start. This will be used to mark a padata instance as invalid, if the padata cpumask does not intersect with the active cpumask. we change padata_start to return an error if the PADATA_INVALID is set. Also we adapt the only padata user, pcrypt to this change. Signed-off-by: NSteffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

padata_get_next needs to check whether the next object that need serialization must be parallel processed by the local cpu. This check was wrong implemented and returned always true, so the try_again loop in padata_reorder was never taken. This can lead to object leaks in some rare cases due to a race that appears with the trylock in padata_reorder. The try_again loop was not a good idea after all, because a cpu could take that loop frequently, so we handle this with a timer instead. This patch adds a timer to handle the race that appears with the trylock. If cpu1 queues an object to the reorder queue while cpu2 holds the pd->lock but left the while loop in padata_reorder already, cpu2 can't care for this object and cpu1 exits because it can't get the lock. Usually the next cpu that takes the lock cares for this object too. We need the timer just if this object was the last one that arrives to the reorder queues. The timer function sends it out in this case. Signed-off-by: NSteffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

This patch introduces an interface to process data objects in parallel. The parallelized objects return after serialization in the same order as they were before the parallelization.
