Subject[PATCH v3 15/21] mm/clear_page: add clear_page_non_caching_threshold()
Date
Introduce clear_page_non_caching_threshold_pages which specifies the
threshold above which clear_page_incoherent() is used.

The ideal threshold value depends on the CPU uarch and where the
performance curves for cached and non-cached stores intersect.

Typically this would depend on microarchitectural details and
the LLC-size. Here, we arbitrarily choose a default value of
8MB (CLEAR_PAGE_NON_CACHING_THRESHOLD), a reasonably large LLC.

Also define clear_page_prefer_incoherent() which provides the
interface for querying this.
