From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@oppo.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.15-rc1 commit 2f9b43d617e2685728568ca609c5c77e45d6f1e8 category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/ICK5GT Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... -------------------------------- The try_to_unmap_one() function currently handles PMD-mapped THPs inefficiently. It first splits the PMD into PTEs, copies the dirty state from the PMD to the PTEs, iterates over the PTEs to locate the dirty state, and then marks the THP as swap-backed. This process involves unnecessary PMD splitting and redundant iteration. Instead, this functionality can be efficiently managed in __discard_anon_folio_pmd_locked(), avoiding the extra steps and improving performance. The following microbenchmark redirties folios after invoking MADV_FREE, then measures the time taken to perform memory reclamation (actually set those folios swapbacked again) on the redirtied folios. #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <string.h> #include <time.h> #define SIZE 128*1024*1024 // 128 MB int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { while(1) { volatile int *p = mmap(0, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); memset((void *)p, 1, SIZE); madvise((void *)p, SIZE, MADV_FREE); /* redirty after MADV_FREE */ memset((void *)p, 1, SIZE); clock_t start_time = clock(); madvise((void *)p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT); clock_t end_time = clock(); double elapsed_time = (double)(end_time - start_time) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC; printf("Time taken by reclamation: %f seconds\n", elapsed_time); munmap((void *)p, SIZE); } return 0; } Testing results are as below, w/o patch: ~ # ./a.out Time taken by reclamation: 0.007300 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007226 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007295 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007731 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007134 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007285 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007720 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007128 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007710 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007712 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007236 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007690 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007174 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007670 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007169 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007305 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007432 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007158 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.007133 seconds … w/ patch ~ # ./a.out Time taken by reclamation: 0.002124 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002116 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002150 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002261 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002137 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002173 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002063 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002088 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002169 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002124 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002111 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002224 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002297 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002260 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002246 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002272 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002277 seconds Time taken by reclamation: 0.002462 seconds … This patch significantly speeds up try_to_unmap_one() by allowing it to skip redirtied THPs without splitting the PMD.
