This patch doesn't even apply to the current kernel, but putting that aside, what's the expensive part of the current code? That is, comparing performance stats between this numa_off enabled and numa_off disabled, where do you see taking a lot of time? _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
