[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 4/8] mm: Scrub memory from idle loop



Instead of scrubbing pages during guest destruction (from
free_heap_pages()) do this opportunistically, from the idle loop.

Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@xxxxxxxxxx>
---
Changes in v4:
* Be careful with tasklets in idle_loop()
* Use per-cpu mapcache override
* Update node_to_scrub() algorithm to select closest node (and add comment
   explaining what it does)
* Put buddy back in the heap directly (as opposed to using 
merge_and_free_buddy()
  which is dropped anyway)
* Don't stop scrubbing immediately when softirq is pending, try to scrub at 
least
  a few (8) pages.
