From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@transmeta.com> Date: Sun, 4 Aug 2002 12:28:54 -0700 (PDT) I suspect that there is some non-zero order-X (probably 2 or 3), where you just win more than you lose. Even for small programs. Furthermore it would obviously help to enhance the clear_user_page() interface to handle multiple pages because that would nullify the startup/finish overhead of the copy loop. (read as: things like TLB loads and FPU save/restore on some platforms) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
