From e920e14ca29b0b2a981cfc90e4e20edd6f078d19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2013 11:28:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mm: Do not flush TLB during protection change if !pte_present && !migration_entry NUMA PTE scanning is expensive both in terms of the scanning itself and the TLB flush if there are any updates. Currently non-present PTEs are accounted for as an update and incurring a TLB flush where it is only necessary for anonymous migration entries. This patch addresses the problem and should reduce TLB flushes.
