I've looked through the code but can't figure out what the difference
is. The memset code is in mm/percpu-vm.c::pcpu_populate_chunk().
for_each_possible_cpu(cpu)
memset((void *)pcpu_chunk_addr(chunk, cpu, 0) + off, 0, size);
(pcpu_chunk_addr(chunk, cpu, 0) + off) is the same vaddr as will be
obtained by per_cpu_ptr(ptr, cpu), so all allocated memory regions are
accessed before being returned. Dazed and confused (seems like the
theme of today for me).
Could it be that the vmalloc page is taking more than one faults?
Thanks.
