Subject: [PATCH v13 14/14] powerpc/64s/radix: Enable huge vmalloc mappings
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2021 16:24:02 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210317062402.533919-15-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210317062402.533919-1-npiggin@gmail.com>

This reduces TLB misses by nearly 30x on a `git diff` workload on a
2-node POWER9 (59,800 -> 2,100) and reduces CPU cycles by 0.54%, due
to vfs hashes being allocated with 2MB pages.
