From adb8e118f288dc4c569ac9a89010b81a4745fbf0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 20 May 2010 16:21:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix wakeup storm for RO mmap()s RO mmap()s don't update the tail pointer, so comparing against it for determining the written data size doesn't really do any good. Keep track of when we last did a wakeup, and compare against that.
