From 0a647f3811d6af56405a819341ceac23e31d4572 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cody P Schafer Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2013 15:01:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc: convert zone_pcp_update() to rely on memory barriers instead of stop_machine() zone_pcp_update()'s goal is to adjust the ->high and ->mark members of a percpu pageset based on a zone's ->managed_pages. We don't need to drain the entire percpu pageset just to modify these fields. This lets us avoid calling setup_pageset() (and the draining required to call it) and instead allows simply setting the fields' values (with some attention paid to memory barriers to prevent the relationship between ->batch and ->high from being thrown off). This does change the behavior of zone_pcp_update() as the percpu pagesets will not be drained when zone_pcp_update() is called (they will end up being shrunk, not completely drained, later when a 0-order page is freed in free_hot_cold_page()).
