Subject: [PATCH 3 of 4] tools: Save superpages in the same batch, to make detection easier
Date: Fri, 6 May 2011 15:01:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3fa5cca65bac05c8df26.1304690480@elijah> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <patchbomb.1304690477@elijah>

On the first time through (when pfns are mostly allocated on
the receiving side), try to keep superpages together in the same
batch by ending a batch early if we see the first page of a
potential superpage and there isn't enough room in the batch
for a full superpage.
