[PATCH v4 26/36] mm: Avoid splitting large pages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If the filesystem supports large pages, then do not split them before
removing them from the page cache; remove them as a unit.
