OK, so why cannot we make zero_struct_page 8x 8B stores, other arches would do memset. You said it would be slower but would that be measurable? I am sorry to be so persistent here but I would be really happier if this didn't depend on the deferred initialization. If this is absolutely a no-go then I can live with that of course. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
