This change will optimize kernel memory deregistration operations. __ib_umem_release() used to call set_page_dirty_lock() against every writable page in its memory region. Its purpose is to keep data synced between CPU and DMA device when swapping happens after mem deregistration ops. Now we choose not to set page dirty bit if it's already set by kernel prior to calling __ib_umem_release(). This reduces memory deregistration time by half or even more when we ran application simulation test program.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
