From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2006 10:11:03 +0100 From: Nick Piggin Subject: [patch] hugepage allocator cleanup Message-ID: <20060125091103.GA32653@wotan.suse.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: William Lee Irwin III Cc: Andrew Morton , Linux Memory Management List List-ID: Hi, This is a slight rework of the mechanism for allocating "fresh" hugepages. Comments? Thanks, Nick -- Insert "fresh" huge pages into the hugepage allocator by the same means as they are freed back into it. This reduces code size and allows enqueue_huge_page to be inlined into the hugepage free fastpath. Eliminate occurances of hugepages on the free list with non-zero refcount. This can allow stricter refcount checks in future. Also required for lockless pagecache.
