During a mkdir, the entire limbo list is synchronously checked on each package for free RMIDs by sending IPIs. With a large number of RMIDs (SKL has 192) this creates a intolerable amount of work in IPIs. Replace the IPI based checking of the limbo list with asynchronous worker threads on each package which periodically scan the limbo list and move the RMIDs that have: llc_occupancy < threshold_occupancy on all packages to the free list. mkdir now returns -ENOSPC if the free list and the limbo list ere empty or returns -EBUSY if there are RMIDs on the limbo list and the free list is empty. Getting rid of the IPIs also simplifies the data structures and the serialization required for handling the lists.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
