Date: Wed, 03 Oct 2007 20:59:46 -0700 [thread overview] Message-ID: <20071004040004.253793692@sgi.com> (raw) In-Reply-To: 20071004035935.042951211@sgi.com [-- Attachment #1: vcompound_wait_table_no_vmalloc --] [-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1117 bytes --] Currently vmalloc is used for the zone wait table. Therefore the vmalloc page tables have to be consulted by the MMU to access the wait table. We can now use GFP_VFALLBACK to attempt the use of a physically contiguous page that can then use the large kernel TLBs. Drawback: The zone wait table is rounded up to the next power of two which may cost some memory.
