[PATCH] mm: move more expensive part of XA setup out of mapping check

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

 



The fast path here is not needing any writeback, yet we spend time setting
up the xarray lookup data upfront. Move the part that actually needs to
iterate the address space mapping into a separate helper, saving ~30% of
the time here.
