[RFC PATCH 4/5] mm/migrate: introduce multi-threaded page copy routine

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

 



Now page copies are batched, multi-threaded page copy can be used to
increase page copy throughput. Add copy_page_lists_mt() to copy pages in
multi-threaded manners. Empirical data show more than 32 base pages are
needed to show the benefit of using multi-threaded page copy, so use 32 as
the threshold.
