From 61cdd4d80b29cfdee45920238eea2d1fbb51f922 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ying Xue Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2012 12:09:12 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] tipc: add __read_mostly annotations to several global variables Added to the following: - tipc_random - tipc_own_addr - tipc_max_ports - tipc_net_id - tipc_remote_management - handler_enabled The above global variables are read often, but written rarely. Use __read_mostly to prevent them being on the same cacheline as another variable which is written to often, which would cause cacheline bouncing.
