[PATCH 0/10 v2] Ranged pagevec lookup

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

 



Hello,

This patch series was split out of the larger series to clean up pagevec APIs
and provide ranged lookups. In this series I make pagevec_lookup() update the
index (to be consistent with pagevec_lookup_tag() and also as a preparation
for ranged lookups), provide ranged variant of pagevec_lookup() and use it
in places where it makes sense. This not only removes some common code but
is also a measurable performance win for some use cases (see patch 4/10) where
radix tree is sparse and searching & grabing of a page after the end of the
range has measurable overhead.

Andrew, can you please consider merging this series?

Full series including dependencies can be also obtained from my git tree:

Opinions and review welcome!
