Subject: [PATCH] cxl: Disable prefault_mode in Radix mode
Date: Fri, 18 May 2018 12:18:43 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180518064843.5087-1-vaibhav@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
From: Vaibhav Jain <vaibhav@linux.ibm.com>
On Power-8 the AFU attr prefault_mode tried to improve storage fault
performance by prefaulting process segments. However Power-9 radix
mode doesn't have Storage-Segments and prefaulting Pages is too fine
grained.
So this patch updates prefault_mode_store() to not allow any other
value apart from CXL_PREFAULT_NONE when radix mode is enabled.
