From: John Hubbard <jhubb...@nvidia.com> Hi,
Summary: I'd like these two patches to go into the next convenient cycle. I *think* that means 4.21. Details At the Linux Plumbers Conference, we talked about this approach [1], and the primary lingering concern was over performance. Tom Talpey helped me through a much more accurate run of the fio performance test, and now it's looking like an under 1% performance cost, to add and remove pages from the LRU (this is only paid when dealing with get_user_pages) [2]. So we should be fine to start converting call sites. This patchset gets the conversion started. Both patches already had a fair amount of review. (Tom, I'll add you Tested-by to the actual implementation that moves pages on and off the LRU. These first two patches don't do that.)
