Subject: [PATCH 4/4] x86/mm/cpa: Better use clflushopt
Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2018 14:44:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181130140337.662216603@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20181130134455.490139778@infradead.org

[-- Attachment #1: peterz-cpa-clflush_opt.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2222 bytes --]

Currently we issue an MFENCE before and after flushing a range. This
means that if we flush a bunch of single page ranges -- like with the
cpa array, we issue a whole bunch of superfluous MFENCEs.

Reorgainze the code a little to avoid this.
