[LSF/MM TOPIC] Transparent huge pages: refcounting, page cache, scalability

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

 



Hello,

I would like to have discussion on future of transparent huge pages.
I work on better refcounting for THP[1] which should help to overcome some
scalability issues and make semantics around split_huge_page() simpler.

It's also step toward THP in page cache: unlike my previous attempt on the
topic with new refcounting we will not need new lock in io path to protect
against splitting.
