[PATCH v4 6/8] mm: make clear_huge_page cache clear only around the fault address

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

 



From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Clearing a 2MB huge page will typically blow away several levels
of CPU caches. To avoid this only cache clear the 4K area
around the fault address and use a cache avoiding clears
for the rest of the 2MB area.
