From ea458effa88e4f4739551d76fe3f702daf607995 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alastair D'Silva Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2019 13:32:58 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Don't flush caches when adding memory This operation takes a significant amount of time when hotplugging large amounts of memory (~50 seconds with 890GB of persistent memory). This was orignally in commit fb5924fddf9e ("powerpc/mm: Flush cache on memory hot(un)plug") to support memtrace, but the flush on add is not needed as it is flushed on remove.
