Subject: [PATCH v6 5/5] mm: rmap: support batched unmapping for file large folios
Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2026 22:07:28 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b53a16f67c93a3fe65e78092069ad135edf00eff.1770645603.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1770645603.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com>
Similar to folio_referenced_one(), we can apply batched unmapping for file
large folios to optimize the performance of file folios reclamation.
Barry previously implemented batched unmapping for lazyfree anonymous large
folios[1] and did not further optimize anonymous large folios or file-backed
large folios at that stage. As for file-backed large folios, the batched
unmapping support is relatively straightforward, as we only need to clear
the consecutive (present) PTE entries for file-backed large folios.
Note that it's not ready to support batched unmapping for uffd case, so
let's still fallback to per-page unmapping for the uffd case.
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
75% performance improvement on my Arm64 32-core server (and 50%+ improvement
on my X86 machine) with this patch.
