| |
The following patchset is a set of performance optimisations for the mm subsystem. They mainly focus on the page allocator because that is a very hot path for kbuild, which is my target workload.
Performance improvements are not finely documented yet, so they are not indented for merging yet. Also some rmap optimisations that Hugh probably won't have time to ACK for a while.
However, a slightly older patchset was able to decrease kernel residency by about 5% for UP, and 7.5% for SMP on a dual Xeon doing kbuild.
