Subject: [PATCH v5 4/5] arm64: mm: implement the architecture-specific clear_flush_young_ptes()
Date: Fri, 26 Dec 2025 14:07:58 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9d866a2644051e13a41ef4d6ca3909c6e1f9e229.1766631066.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1766631066.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com>

Implement the Arm64 architecture-specific clear_flush_young_ptes() to enable
batched checking of young flags and TLB flushing, improving performance during
large folio reclamation.

Performance testing:
Allocate 10G clean file-backed folios by mmap() in a memory cgroup, and try to
reclaim 8G file-backed folios via the memory.reclaim interface. I can observe
33% performance improvement on my Arm64 32-core server (and 10%+ improvement
on my X86 machine). Meanwhile, the hotspot folio_check_references() dropped
from approximately 35% to around 5%.
