[5.4 PATCH 0/4] Fix a CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS bug

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

 



This experimental feature has had a few bugs, but it has enough of
a performance effect that customers are actually asking for it to be
enabled.  So we should apply this upstream bugfix that needs a little
massaging to backport.  The first three patches enable the fix in the
fourth patch.  I've run the XArray test-suite after applying these
patches, and it continues to pass.

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (4):
  mm: add thp_order
  XArray: add xa_get_order
  XArray: add xas_split
  mm/filemap: fix storing to a THP shadow entry
