From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Subject: [PATCH 15 of 36] x86: simplify vmalloc_sync_all Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:19:11 -0400 Message-ID: <89fbec3fceddfb6c2190.1214367551@localhost> References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: In-Reply-To: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xensource.com Errors-To: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xensource.com To: Ingo Molnar Cc: Mark McLoughlin , xen-devel , Eduardo Habkost , Stephen Tweedie , x86@kernel.org, LKML List-Id: xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org vmalloc_sync_all() is only called from register_die_notifier and alloc_vm_area. Neither is on any performance-critical paths, so vmalloc_sync_all() itself is not on any hot paths. Given that the optimisations in vmalloc_sync_all add a fair amount of code and complexity, and are fairly hard to evaluate for correctness, it's better to just remove them to simplify the code rather than worry about its absolute performance.
