[PATCH 22/36] autonuma: make khugepaged pte_numa aware

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

 



If any of the ptes that khugepaged is collapsing was a pte_numa, the
resulting trans huge pmd will be a pmd_numa too.

See the comment inline for why we require just one pte_numa pte to
make a pmd_numa pmd. If needed later we could change the number of
pte_numa ptes required to create a pmd_numa and make it tunable with
sysfs too.
