[PATCH v2] mm/swap: piggyback lru_add_drain_all() calls

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

 



This is very slow operation. There is no reason to do it again if somebody
else already drained all per-cpu vectors while we waited for lock.

Piggyback on drain started and finished while we waited for lock:
all pages pended at the time of our enter were drained from vectors.

Callers like POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED retry their operations once after
draining per-cpu vectors when pages have unexpected references.
