Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/mm: Export HPAGE_SHIFT
Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2009 18:49:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090203164930.GA10101@mtls03> (raw)

Drivers may want to take advantage of the large pages used for memory obtained
from hugetlbfs. One example is mlx4_ib which can use much less MTT entries (in
the order of HPAGE_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE) when registering such memory, thus scale
significantly better when registering larger memory regions. Other drivers
could also benefit from this.
