From 96df9333c94d7d5aeceb21f6c5e7ae8ff34753cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2006 00:10:45 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] mm: dequeue a huge page near to this node This was discussed at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113166526217117&w=2 This patch changes the dequeueing to select a huge page near the node executing instead of always beginning to check for free nodes from node 0. This will result in a placement of the huge pages near the executing processor improving performance. The existing implementation can place the huge pages far away from the executing processor causing significant degradation of performance. The search starting from zero also means that the lower zones quickly run out of memory. Selecting a huge page near the process distributed the huge pages better.
