From f1fd1067ece574ab56e4a70878b9a5a1ed4c3c42 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2006 17:42:30 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Zone reclaim: resurrect may_swap Zone reclaim has a huge impact on NUMA performance (f.e. our maximum throughput with XFS is raised from 4GB to 6GB/sec / page cache contamination of numa nodes destroys locality if one just does a large copy operation which results in performance dropping for good until reboot).
