Subject: [merged] mm-hugetlbfs-move-the-put-get_page-slab-and-hugetlbfs-optimization-in-a-faster-path.patch removed from -mm tree To: aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx,andi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,bhutchings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,cl@xxxxxxxxx,gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,jweiner@xxxxxxxxxx,khalid.aziz@xxxxxxxxxx,mgorman@xxxxxxx,minchan@xxxxxxxxxx,pshelar@xxxxxxxxxx,riel@xxxxxxxxxx,mm-commits@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From: akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2014 12:12:21 -0800 The patch titled Subject: mm: hugetlbfs: move the put/get_page slab and hugetlbfs optimization in a faster path has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-hugetlbfs-move-the-put-get_page-slab-and-hugetlbfs-optimization-in-a-faster-path.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: hugetlbfs: move the put/get_page slab and hugetlbfs optimization in a faster path We don't actually need a reference on the head page in the slab and hugetlbfs paths, as long as we add a smp_rmb() which should be faster than get_page_unless_zero.
