Grrr ;-)) hey, I can add a sysctl in 5 minutes to disable pte_highmem at runtime, why do you think it's expensive, it should be not, it's all atomic kmaps only doing invlpg. The few workloads trashing on the ptes manipulation needs pte_highmem anyways. If I thought it was expensive for any common load the sysctl would be already there. - 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/ | ||||||||||||
