Is copy_page() significantly faster than > memcpy() for a PAGE_SIZE amount of data? that's a good point. I was going to ask yesterday - do we even need copy_page()? arch that provides well optimized copy_page() quite likely provides somewhat equally optimized memcpy(). so may be copy_page() is not even needed? -ss -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
