[PATCH] [25/34] x86_64: skip cache_free_alien() on non NUMA

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "Siddha, Suresh B" <[email protected]>

Set use_alien_caches to 0 on non NUMA platforms.  And avoid calling the
cache_free_alien() when use_alien_caches is not set.  This will avoid the
cache miss that happens while dereferencing slabp to get nodeid.
