It removes the possibly large vmalloc by using multiple chunks when migrating large buffers. It also dramatically increases the throughput for large buffers since the lookup in new_page_node() is now limited to a single chunk, causing the quadratic complexity to have a much slower impact. There is no need to use any radix-tree-like structure to improve this lookup. sys_move_pages() duration on a 4-quadcore-opteron 2347HE (1.9Gz), migrating between nodes #2 and #3: length move_pages (us) move_pages+patch (us) 4kB 126 98 40kB 198 168 400kB 963 937 4MB 12503 11930 40MB 246867 11848 Patches #1 and #4 are the important ones: 1) stop returning -ENOENT from sys_move_pages() if nothing got migrated 2) don't vmalloc a huge page_to_node array for do_pages_stat() 3) extract do_pages_move() out of sys_move_pages() 4) rework do_pages_move() to work on page_sized chunks 5) move_pages: no need to set pp->page to ZERO_PAGE(0) by default This patch: There is no point in returning -ENOENT from sys_move_pages() if all pages were already on the right node, while we return 0 if only 1 page was not. Most application don't know where their pages are allocated, so it's not an error to try to migrate them anyway. Just return 0 and let the status array in user-space be checked if the application needs details. It will make the upcoming chunked-move_pages() support much easier.
