From 674b892ede247ef4fb8d00918f02e29c32b9bbaf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 01:25:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: restore KERNEL_DS optimisations Restore the KERNEL_DS optimisation, especially helpful to the 2copy write path. This may be a pretty questionable gain in most cases, especially after the legacy 2copy write path is removed, but it doesn't cost much.
