rcu: Use DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED for rcu_data The rcu_data per-CPU variable has a number of fields that are atomically manipulated, potentially by any CPU. This situation can result in false sharing with per-CPU variables that have the misfortune of being allocated adjacent to rcu_data in memory. This commit therefore changes the DEFINE_PER_CPU() to DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() in order to avoid this false sharing. Reported-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
