[PATCH v12 8/8] mm: Don't split THP page when syscall is called

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

 



We don't need to split THP page when MADV_FREE syscall is
called. It could be done when VM decide really frees it so
we could avoid unnecessary THP split.
