[v3 PATCH 7/7] mm: thp: skip make PMD PROT_NONE if THP migration is not supported

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

 



A quick grep shows x86_64, PowerPC (book3s), ARM64 and S390 support both
NUMA balancing and THP.  But S390 doesn't support THP migration so NUMA
balancing actually can't migrate any misplaced pages.

Skip make PMD PROT_NONE for such case otherwise CPU cycles may be wasted
by pointless NUMA hinting faults on S390.
