Subject[RFC PATCH 0/2] Introduce serialized smp_call_function APIs
Date
commit 944d5fe50f3f ("sched/membarrier: reduce the ability to hammer on sys_membarrier")
introduces a mutex over all membarrier operations to reduce its ability
to slow down the rest of the system.

This RFC series has two objectives:

1) Move this mutex to the smp_call_function APIs so other system calls
using smp_call_function IPIs are limited in the same way,

2) Restore scalability of MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ with
MEMBARRIER_CMD_FLAG_CPU, which targets specific CPUs with IPIs.
This may or may not be useful, and I would welcome benchmarks from
users of this feature to figure out if this is worth it.

This series applies on top of v6.8.

Thanks,

Mathieu
