Linux 6.10 To Account For NUMA Node When Allocating Per-CPU Cpumasks
In addition to a SLUB optimization for extreme scenarios, faster AES-XTS disk/file encryption for modern Intel/AMD CPUs, and other performance optimizations on the way for Linux 6.10, another minor one was queued up this week.
Queued into TIP.git's x86/cpu branch this week is a change to take the NUMA node into account when allocating per-CPU cpumasks. The upstream mailing list thread isn't resolving for any additional insight, but in any event this change just touches a dozen lines of code and is now queued via x86/cpu for introduction in the Linux 6.10 merge window that will kick off in May.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
