Actually, looking again at the paca code, it doesn't seem that
it is dependent upon the kernel NR_CPUS value.
Dave,
Since, we are iterating on nr_paca, though that it may not be an issue
even if the kernel changed NR_CPUS to < 128. The only issue is we are
reading NR_CPUS/8 for cpu_online_map - not using the remaining part.
Probably, it will be more clear if you the cpu_online_map size is based on
nr_paca.
Like moving the following line after calculated nr_paca:
+ readmem(symbol_value("cpu_online_map"), KVADDR,
&cpu_online_map[0],
+ nr_paca/8, "cpu_online_map", FAULT_ON_ERROR);
+
Can I go ahead and change it? - drawback of this approach is if the
NR_CPUS in the kernel is greater than 128.
or do you prefer actual allocating the online_map based on nr_paca? I will
make changes based on your suggestions.
Thanks
Haren
So perhaps all my bitching is much ado about nothing?
