[RFC PATCH v1 11/13] mm: use lru_batch locking in release_pages

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

 



Introduce LRU batch locking in release_pages.  This is the code path
where I see lru_lock contention most often, so this is the one I used in
this prototype.
