Subject: [PATCH] drm/ttm: stop pooling cached NUMA pages v2
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

We only pool write combined and uncached allocations because they require extra overhead on allocation and release.

If we also pool cached NUMA it not only means some extra unnecessary overhead, but also that under memory pressure it can happen that pages from the wrong NUMA node enters the pool and are re-used over and over again.

This can lead to performance reduction after running into memory pressure.

v2: restructure and cleanup the code a bit from the internal hack to
test this.
