[PATCH 0/3] mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation

[Barry Song <21cnbao@gmail.com>]

From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@oppo.com>

Commit 735ecdfaf4e80 ("mm/vmscan: avoid splitting lazyfree THP during 
shrink_folio_list()") prevents the splitting of MADV_FREE'd THP in madvise.c. 
However, those folios are still added to the deferred_split list in 
try_to_unmap_one() because we are unmapping PTEs and removing rmap entries 
one by one. This approach is not only slow but also increases the risk of a 
race condition where lazyfree folios are incorrectly set back to swapbacked, 
as a speculative folio_get may occur in the shrinker's callback.

This patchset addresses the issue by only marking truly dirty folios as 
swapbacked as suggested by David and shifting to batched unmapping of the
entire folio in  try_to_unmap_one(). As a result, we've observed
deferred_split dropping to  zero and significant performance improvements
in memory reclamation.

Barry Song (3):
  mm: set folio swapbacked iff folios are dirty in try_to_unmap_one
  mm: Support tlbbatch flush for a range of PTEs
  mm: Support batched unmap for lazyfree large folios during reclamation
