Subject: [PATCH 27/31] mm: page_alloc: cache the last node whose dirty limit is reached
Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2016 21:01:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1467403299-25786-28-git-send-email-mgorman@techsingularity.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1467403299-25786-1-git-send-email-mgorman@techsingularity.net>
If a page is about to be dirtied then the page allocator attempts to limit
the total number of dirty pages that exists in any given zone. The call
to node_dirty_ok is expensive so this patch records if the last pgdat
examined hit the dirty limits. In some cases, this reduces the number of
calls to node_dirty_ok().
