[PATCH 6/6] sysctl: Add global tunable mt_page_copy

Show all headers | View raw

From: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com>

A new global sysctl tunable 'mt_page_copy' is added which will override
syscall specific requests and enable multi threaded page copy during
all migrations on the system. This tunable is disabled by default.
