From 5fbc461636c32efdb9d5216d491d37a40d54535b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Metcalf Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:13:55 -0700 Subject: mm: make lru_add_drain_all() selective make lru_add_drain_all() only selectively interrupt the cpus that have per-cpu free pages that can be drained. This is important in nohz mode where calling mlockall(), for example, otherwise will interrupt every core unnecessarily. This is important on workloads where nohz cores are handling 10 Gb traffic in userspace. Those CPUs do not enter the kernel and place pages into LRU pagevecs and they really, really don't want to be interrupted, or they drop packets on the floor.
