From f6762b7ad8edd6abc802542ce845d3bc8adcb92f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Mon, 1 May 2006 20:02:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] pipe: enable atomic copying of pipe data to/from user space The pipe ->map() method uses kmap() to virtually map the pages, which is both slow and has known scalability issues on SMP. This patch enables atomic copying of pipe pages, by pre-faulting data and using kmap_atomic() instead. lmbench bw_pipe and lat_pipe measurements agree this is a Good Thing. Here are results from that on a UP machine with highmem (1.5GiB of RAM), running first a UP kernel, SMP kernel, and SMP kernel patched.
