And, I still have interest of the performance impact of commit
7e12beb8ca2a ("migrate_pages: batch flushing TLB"). In the email above,
you said that the performance of v6.5-rc5 + 7e12beb8ca2a reverted has
better performance than v6.5-rc5. Can you provide more details? For
example, the number of TLB flushing IPI for two kernels?
I should have followed up the above email. Sorry about that. Anyway,
we should try to fix issue of that commit too.
