After quicksort picks a pivot item for a particular subsort, it walks the records in that subset from the outside in, rearranging them so that every record less than the pivot comes before it, and every record greater than the pivot comes after it. This scan has a lot of locality, so we can speed it up quite a bit by grabbing the xfile backing page and holding onto it as long as we possibly can. Doing so reduces the runtime by another 5% on the author's computer. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
