This patch series simplifies pool management code and adds sysfd interface to control pool functionality from sysfs.
Pool size reduction only happens when mm shrinker request for free pages. To prevent pool from wasting too much free memory there is user configureable maximum size. If pool tries to grow to larger sizes than maximum pages are directly freed instead of putting to pool. Number of pages allocated in refill is user configureable. Default is same as number of struct page pointers fits to a page. Allocation size is limited so that user can't set insanely large numbers. warning is generated when large allocation size doesn't make sense for performance. If ttm is running close to memory limit pool can't add more than allocation_size pages to the memory use. This is quarenteed with rule that only one pool refill can be running at a time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
