From 8ad4b1fb8205340dba16b63467bb23efc27264d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rohit Seth Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2006 01:00:40 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Make high and batch sizes of per_cpu_pagelists configurable As recently there has been lot of traffic on the right values for batch and high water marks for per_cpu_pagelists. This patch makes these two variables configurable through /proc interface. A new tunable /proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction is added. This entry controls the fraction of pages at most in each zone that are allocated for each per cpu page list. The min value for this is 8. It means that we don't allow more than 1/8th of pages in each zone to be allocated in any single per_cpu_pagelist. The batch value of each per cpu pagelist is also updated as a result. It is set to pcp->high/4. The upper limit of batch is (PAGE_SHIFT * 8) Signed-off-by: Rohit Seth Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- include/linux/sysctl.h | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'include/linux/sysctl.h') diff --git a/include/linux/sysctl.h b/include/linux/sysctl.h index 4cd267f..7f47212 100644 --- a/include/linux/sysctl.h +++ b/include/linux/sysctl.h @@ -181,6 +181,7 @@ enum VM_LEGACY_VA_LAYOUT=27, /* legacy/compatibility virtual address space layout */ VM_SWAP_TOKEN_TIMEOUT=28, /* default time for token time out */ VM_DROP_PAGECACHE=29, /* int: nuke lots of pagecache */ + VM_PERCPU_PAGELIST_FRACTION=30,/* int: fraction of pages in each percpu_pagelist */ }; -- cgit v1.1
