From f58dc01ba2ca9fe3ab2ba4ca43d9c8a735cf62d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:00:50 +0900 Subject: percpu: generalize first chunk allocator selection Now that all first chunk allocators are in mm/percpu.c, it makes sense to make generalize percpu_alloc kernel parameter. Define PCPU_FC_* and set pcpu_chosen_fc using early_param() in mm/percpu.c. Arch code can use the set value to determine which first chunk allocator to use.
