Linus Torvalds e987af4546 percpu: changes for v6.6
percpu
 * A couple cleanups by Baoquan He and Bibo Mao. The only behavior change
   is to start printing messages if we're under the warn limit for failed
   atomic allocations.
 
 percpu_counter
 * Shakeel introduced percpu counters into mm_struct which caused percpu
   allocations be on the hot path [1]. Originally I spent some time
   trying to improve the percpu allocator, but instead preferred what
   Mateusz Guzik proposed grouping at the allocation site,
   percpu_counter_init_many(). This allows a single percpu allocation to
   be shared by the counters. I like this approach because it creates a
   shared lifetime by the allocations. Additionally, I believe many inits
   have higher level synchronization requirements, like percpu_counter
   does against HOTPLUG_CPU. Therefore we can group these optimizations
   together.

Merge tag 'percpu-for-6.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dennis/percpu

Pull percpu updates from Dennis Zhou:
 "One bigger change to percpu_counter's api allowing for init and
  destroy of multiple counters via percpu_counter_init_many() and
  percpu_counter_destroy_many(). This is used to help begin remediating
  a performance regression with percpu rss stats.

  Additionally, it seems larger core count machines are feeling the
  burden of the single threaded allocation of percpu. Mateusz is
  thinking about it and I will spend some time on it too.

  percpu:

   - A couple cleanups by Baoquan He and Bibo Mao. The only behavior
     change is to start printing messages if we're under the warn limit
     for failed atomic allocations.

  percpu_counter:

   - Shakeel introduced percpu counters into mm_struct which caused
     percpu allocations be on the hot path [1]. Originally I spent some
     time trying to improve the percpu allocator, but instead preferred
     what Mateusz Guzik proposed grouping at the allocation site,
     percpu_counter_init_many(). This allows a single percpu allocation
     to be shared by the counters. I like this approach because it
     creates a shared lifetime by the allocations. Additionally, I
     believe many inits have higher level synchronization requirements,
     like percpu_counter does against HOTPLUG_CPU. Therefore we can
     group these optimizations together"
