From df9d6985be2a7e7683c46e4c6ea608fc69f02b45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:09:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: do not drain pagevecs for mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) MCL_FUTURE does not move pages between lru list and draining the LRU per cpu pagevecs is a nasty activity. Avoid doing it unecessarily.
