Chris Wilson 66df1014ef drm/i915: Keep a small stash of preallocated WC pages
We use WC pages for coherent writes into the ppGTT on !llc
architectures. However, to create a WC page requires a stop_machine(),
i.e. is very slow. To compensate we currently keep a per-vm cache of
recently freed pages, but we still see the slow startup of new contexts.
We can amoritize that cost slightly by allocating WC pages in small
batches (PAGEVEC_SIZE == 14) and since creating a WC page implies a
stop_machine() there is no penalty for keeping that stash global.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
