[patch] mm, slab: periodically resched in drain_freelist()

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

 



drain_freelist() can be called with a very large number of slabs to free,
such as for kmem_cache_shrink(), or depending on various settings of the
slab cache when doing periodic reaping.

If there is a potentially long list of slabs to drain, periodically
schedule to ensure we aren't saturating the cpu for too long.
