Hello,
Let us say we have a per-cpu data structure as follows:
struct data {
atomic_t val;
};
Since this is a per-cpu data structure, do I need to have 'val' as
atomic? Or can I just use a normal 'int' for val?
Also are the following the same? If yes, which is preferable?
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct data, datap);
struct data __percpu *p = &datap;
struct data *p = this_cpu_ptr(&datap);
Thanks,
