Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] mm: Optimize mremap() by PTE batching
Date: Wed, 7 May 2025 11:32:56 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250507060256.78278-3-dev.jain@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250507060256.78278-1-dev.jain@arm.com>
To use PTE batching, we want to determine whether the folio mapped by
the PTE is large, thus requiring the use of vm_normal_folio(). We want
to avoid the cost of vm_normal_folio() if the code path doesn't already
require the folio. For arm64, pte_batch_hint() does the job. To generalize
this hint, add a helper which will determine whether two consecutive PTEs
point to consecutive PFNs, in which case there is a high probability that
the underlying folio is large.
Next, use folio_pte_batch() to optimize move_ptes(). On arm64, if the ptes
are painted with the contig bit, then ptep_get() will iterate through all 16
entries to collect a/d bits. Hence this optimization will result in a 16x
reduction in the number of ptep_get() calls. Next, ptep_get_and_clear()
will eventually call contpte_try_unfold() on every contig block, thus
flushing the TLB for the complete large folio range. Instead, use
get_and_clear_full_ptes() so as to elide TLBIs on each contig block, and only
do them on the starting and ending contig block.
