Subject: Make show_mem() skip holes in a pgdat.
Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2006 13:14:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060413131441.GA16615@lnx-holt.americas.sgi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060413031519.GB2678@lnx-holt.americas.sgi.com>
This patch modifies ia64's show_mem() to walk the vmem_map page tables and
rapidly skip forward across regions where the page tables are missing.
This prevents the pfn_valid() check from causing numerous unnecessary
page faults.
Without this patch on a 512 node 512 cpu system where every node has four
memory holes, the show_mem() call takes 1 hour 18 minutes. With this
patch, it takes less than 3 seconds.
