Subject: [patch 0/2]: lockless get_user_pages patchset
Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2008 03:54:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080328025455.GA8083@wotan.suse.de> (raw)

Hi,

This patchset It impoves our well known oltp performance thingy by 10% on DB2
on a modest 2 socket x86 system. For a sense of scale, remember numbers being
tossed around like direct-IO giving a 12% improvement; or hugepages giving a 9%
improvement... heh.

I have a powerpc patch as well, but it needs benh to find me a bit in their pte
to use.

These patches are on top of the previous 7 patches just sent.

Nick
