It would cause long waiting for sync. If we could change the pageblock_flags variable as char, we could use char size cmpxchg, which just sync up with 2 pageblock flags. it could relief much false sharing in cmpxchg. With this and next patch, we could see mmtests/thpscale get slight fast on my 4 cores box, and cmpxchg retry times is reduced. pageblock pageblock pageblock rc2 rc2 rc2 16 16-2 16-3 a b c Duration User 14.81 15.24 14.55 14.76 14.97 14.38 Duration System 84.44 88.38 90.64 100.43 89.15 88.89 Duration Elapsed 98.83 99.06 99.81 100.30 99.24 99.14 rc2 is 5.9-rc2 kernel, pageblock is 5.9-rc2 + this patchset Signed-off-by: Alex Shi Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Mel Gorman Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org --- include/linux/mmzone.h | 6 +++--- include/linux/pageblock-flags.h | 2 +- mm/page_alloc.c | 38 +++++++++++++++++++------------------- 3 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/mmzone.h b/include/linux/mmzone.h index 8379432f4f2f..be676e659fb7 100644 --- a/include/linux/mmzone.h +++ b/include/linux/mmzone.h @@ -437,7 +437,7 @@ struct zone { * Flags for a pageblock_nr_pages block.
