In addition, even if we those maps could partcipate in NUMA balancing it wouldn't provide any benefit since we wouldn't be able to determine physical page's node (even if/when VNUMA is implemented). Marking grant maps' VMAs as VM_IO will exclude them from being part of NUMA balancing.Should this be 'cc:stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' ? This bug becomes a real problem with 4.4, now that NUMA balancing is on by default. But we should probably include it in stable too. I'll resubmit it then with CC tag. -boris Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/xen/gntdev.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/xen/gntdev.c b/drivers/xen/gntdev.c index 67b9163..bf312df 100644 --- a/drivers/xen/gntdev.c +++ b/drivers/xen/gntdev.c @@ -802,7 +802,7 @@ static int gntdev_mmap(struct file *flip, struct vm_area_struct *vma)vma->vm_ops = &gntdev_vmops; - vma->vm_flags |= VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP;+ vma->vm_flags |= VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP | VM_IO;if (use_ptemod)vma->vm_flags |= VM_DONTCOPY; -- 1.7.1 _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
