It heavily penalizes the single threaded application case, which is quite important. And it would likely lead to even larger latencies on the application base, even for the multithreaded case, as there is no good way anymore to hide blocking latencies in the process. The current single thead khugepaged has various issues, but this would just make it much worse. IMHO it's useless to do much here without a lot of data first to identify the actual problems. Doing things first without analysis first seems totally backwards. -Andi -- ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Speaking for myself only -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
