From 64c349f4ae78723248c474531d0cbc524fc5ba77 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2017 15:31:22 -0800 Subject: mm: add infrastructure for get_user_pages_fast() benchmarking Performance of get_user_pages_fast() is critical for some workloads, but it's tricky to test it directly. This patch provides /sys/kernel/debug/gup_benchmark that helps with testing performance of it. See tools/testing/selftests/vm/gup_benchmark.c for userspace counterpart.
