Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH] page_cgroup: Reduce allocation overhead for page_cgroup array for CONFIG_SPARSEMEM v2
Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2011 14:40:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110224134045.GA22122@tiehlicka.suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1298485162.7236.4.camel@nimitz>

Here is the second version of the patch. I have used alloc_pages_exact
instead of the complex double array approach.

I still fallback to kmalloc/vmalloc because hotplug can happen quite
some time after boot and we can end up not having enough continuous
pages at that time. 

I am also thinking whether it would make sense to introduce
alloc_pages_exact_node function which would allocate pages from the
given node.

Any thoughts?
