In my opinion it's a very bad idea. It heavily penalizes the single threaded application case, which is quite important. And it would likely lead to even larger latencies on the application base, even for the multithreaded case, as there is no good way anymore to hide blocking latencies in the process. The current single thead khugepaged has various issues, but this would just make it much worse. IMHO it's useless to do much here without a lot of data first to identify the actual problems. Doing things first without analysis first seems totally backwards. -Andi -- [email protected] -- Speaking for myself only -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
