    Subject[mm PATCH v5 6/7] mm: Add reserved flag setting to set_page_links
    From
    Date
    This patch modifies the set_page_links function to include the setting of
    the reserved flag via a simple AND and OR operation. The motivation for
    this is the fact that the existing __set_bit call still seems to have
    effects on performance as replacing the call with the AND and OR can reduce
    initialization time.

    Looking over the assembly code before and after the change the main
    difference between the two is that the reserved bit is stored in a value
    that is generated outside of the main initialization loop and is then
    written with the other flags field values in one write to the page->flags
    value. Previously the generated value was written and then then a btsq
    instruction was issued.

    On my x86_64 test system with 3TB of persistent memory per node I saw the
    persistent memory initialization time on average drop from 23.49s to
    19.12s per node.
