SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/2] mm: support MIGRATE_DISCARD
From
Date

在 2012-9-5,下午4:11,Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> 写道:

> This patch introudes MIGRATE_DISCARD mode in migration.
> It drops *clean cache pages* instead of migration so that
> migration latency could be reduced by avoiding (memcpy + page remapping).
> It's useful for CMA because latency of migration is very important rather
> than eviction of background processes's workingset. In addition, it needs
> less free pages for migration targets so it could avoid memory reclaiming
> to get free pages, which is another factor increase latency.
