From f9fd8914c1acca0d98b69d831b128d5b52f03c51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shailabh Nagar Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2006 00:24:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] per-task delay accounting taskstats interface: control exit data through cpumasks On systems with a large number of cpus, with even a modest rate of tasks exiting per cpu, the volume of taskstats data sent on thread exit can overflow a userspace listener's buffers. One approach to avoiding overflow is to allow listeners to get data for a limited and specific set of cpus. By scaling the number of listeners and/or the cpus they monitor, userspace can handle the statistical data overload more gracefully. In this patch, each listener registers to listen to a specific set of cpus by specifying a cpumask. The interest is recorded per-cpu. When a task exits on a cpu, its taskstats data is unicast to each listener interested in that cpu. Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the various scalability and general concerns of previous attempts and for suggesting this design.
