Subject: [11/17] GFP_VFALLBACK for zone wait table.
Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2007 16:42:15 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070925234251.740483810@sgi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20070925234204.546836393@sgi.com
[-- Attachment #1: vcompound_wait_table_no_vmalloc --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1002 bytes --]
Currently vmalloc is used for the zone wait table possibly generating the need
to generate lots of TLBs to access the tables. We can now use GFP_VFALLBACK to
attempt the use of a physically contiguous page that can then use the large
kernel TLBs.
