From 2c4885d24e64941702a8f81c8e83289823ba35d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Gortmaker Date: Sun, 21 Feb 2021 03:08:25 -0500 Subject: lib: bitmap: support "N" as an alias for size of bitmap While this is done for all bitmaps, the original use case in mind was for CPU masks and cpulist_parse() as described below. It seems that a common configuration is to use the 1st couple cores for housekeeping tasks. This tends to leave the remaining ones to form a pool of similarly configured cores to take on the real workload of interest to the user. So on machine A - with 32 cores, it could be 0-3 for "system" and then 4-31 being used in boot args like nohz_full=, or rcu_nocbs= as part of setting up the worker pool of CPUs. But then newer machine B is added, and it has 48 cores, and so while the 0-3 part remains unchanged, the pool setup cpu list becomes 4-47. Multiple deployment becomes easier when we can just simply replace 31 and 47 with "N" and let the system substitute in the actual number at boot; a number that it knows better than we do.
