It just does several iterations of mbind+touch_all_pages for different power-of-two buffer sizes. Just replace mbind with madvise in the inner loop if you want to try with your affinit-on-next-touch. Which kernels are you using when comparing your next-touch implementation with Lee's patchset? Brice
