Subject: [PATCH v4 3/4] mm: Support batched unmap for lazyfree large folios during reclamation
Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2025 22:30:14 +1300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250214093015.51024-4-21cnbao@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250214093015.51024-1-21cnbao@gmail.com>
From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@oppo.com>
Currently, the PTEs and rmap of a large folio are removed one at a time.
This is not only slow but also causes the large folio to be unnecessarily
added to deferred_split, which can lead to races between the
deferred_split shrinker callback and memory reclamation. This patch
releases all PTEs and rmap entries in a batch.
Currently, it only handles lazyfree large folios.
The below microbench tries to reclaim 128MB lazyfree large folios
whose sizes are 64KiB:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#define SIZE 128*1024*1024 // 128 MB
unsigned long read_split_deferred()
{
FILE *file = fopen("/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage"
"/hugepages-64kB/stats/split_deferred", "r");
if (!file) {
perror("Error opening file");
return 0;
}
unsigned long value;
if (fscanf(file, "%lu", &value) != 1) {
perror("Error reading value");
fclose(file);
return 0;
}
fclose(file);
return value;
}
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);
clock_t start_time = clock();
unsigned long start_split = read_split_deferred();
madvise((void *)p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
clock_t end_time = clock();
unsigned long end_split = read_split_deferred();
double elapsed_time = (double)(end_time - start_time) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
printf("Time taken by reclamation: %f seconds, split_deferred: %ld\n",
elapsed_time, end_split - start_split);
munmap((void *)p, SIZE);
}
return 0;
}
