[patch 099/227] mm/page_alloc: track range of active PCP lists during bulk free

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

Subject: mm/page_alloc: track range of active PCP lists during bulk free

free_pcppages_bulk() frees pages in a round-robin fashion.  Originally,
this was dealing only with migratetypes but storing high-order pages means
that there can be many more empty lists that are uselessly checked.  Track
the minimum and maximum active pindex to reduce the search space.
