Subject[PATCH] mm, vmacache: Add kconfig VMACACHE_SHIFT
Date
Add a new kconfig option VMACACHE_SHIFT (as a power of 2) to specify the
number of slots vma cache has for each thread. Range is chosen 0-4 (1-16
slots) to consider both overhead and performance penalty. Default is 2
(4 slots) as it originally is, which provides good enough balance.
