mm: swap: fix performance regression on sparsetruncate-tiny

2023-04-16T17:41:24+00:00

The ->percpu_pvec_drained was originally introduced by commit d9ed0d08b6c6 ("mm: only drain per-cpu pagevecs once per pagevec usage") to drain per-cpu pagevecs only once per pagevec usage. But after converting the swap code to be more folio-based, the commit c2bc16817aa0 ("mm/swap: add folio_batch_move_lru()") breaks this logic, which would cause ->percpu_pvec_drained to be reset to false, that means per-cpu pagevecs will be drained multiple times per pagevec usage. In theory, there should be no functional changes when converting code to be more folio-based. We should call folio_batch_reinit() in folio_batch_move_lru() instead of folio_batch_init(). And to verify that we still need ->percpu_pvec_drained, I ran mmtests/sparsetruncate-tiny and got the following data: baseline with baseline/ patch/ Min Time 326.00 ( 0.00%) 328.00 ( -0.61%) 1st-qrtle Time 334.00 ( 0.00%) 336.00 ( -0.60%) 2nd-qrtle Time 338.00 ( 0.00%) 341.00 ( -0.89%) 3rd-qrtle Time 343.00 ( 0.00%) 347.00 ( -1.17%) Max-1 Time 326.00 ( 0.00%) 328.00 ( -0.61%) Max-5 Time 327.00 ( 0.00%) 330.00 ( -0.92%) Max-10 Time 328.00 ( 0.00%) 331.00 ( -0.91%) Max-90 Time 350.00 ( 0.00%) 357.00 ( -2.00%) Max-95 Time 395.00 ( 0.00%) 390.00 ( 1.27%) Max-99 Time 508.00 ( 0.00%) 434.00 ( 14.57%) Max Time 547.00 ( 0.00%) 476.00 ( 12.98%) Amean Time 344.61 ( 0.00%) 345.56 * -0.28%* Stddev Time 30.34 ( 0.00%) 19.51 ( 35.69%) CoeffVar Time 8.81 ( 0.00%) 5.65 ( 35.87%) BAmean-99 Time 342.38 ( 0.00%) 344.27 ( -0.55%) BAmean-95 Time 338.58 ( 0.00%) 341.87 ( -0.97%) BAmean-90 Time 336.89 ( 0.00%) 340.26 ( -1.00%) BAmean-75 Time 335.18 ( 0.00%) 338.40 ( -0.96%) BAmean-50 Time 332.54 ( 0.00%) 335.42 ( -0.87%) BAmean-25 Time 329.30 ( 0.00%) 332.00 ( -0.82%) From the above it can be seen that we get similar data to when ->percpu_pvec_drained was introduced, so we still need it. Let's call folio_batch_reinit() in folio_batch_move_lru() to restore the original logic.

mm: mlock: update the interface to use folios

2023-02-03T06:33:04+00:00

Update the mlock interface to accept folios rather than pages, bringing the interface in line with the internal implementation. munlock_vma_page() still requires a page_folio() conversion, however this is consistent with the existent mlock_vma_page() implementation and a product of rmap still dealing in pages rather than folios.

mm: teach release_pages() to take an array of encoded page pointers too

2022-11-30T23:58:50+00:00

release_pages() already could take either an array of page pointers, or an array of folio pointers. Expand it to also accept an array of encoded page pointers, which is what both the existing mlock() use and the upcoming mmu_gather use of encoded page pointers wants. Note that release_pages() won't actually use, or react to, any extra encoded bits. Instead, this is very much a case of "I have walked the array of encoded pages and done everything the extra bits tell me to do, now release it all". Also, while the "either page or folio pointers" dual use was handled with a cast of the pointer in "release_folios()", this takes a slightly different approach and uses the "transparent union" attribute to describe the set of arguments to the function: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Type-Attributes.html which has been supported by gcc forever, but the kernel hasn't used before. That allows us to avoid using various wrappers with casts, and just use the same function regardless of use.

swap: add a limit for readahead page-cluster value

2022-11-09T01:37:22+00:00

Currenty there is no upper limit for /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster, and it's a bit shift value, so it could result in overflow of the 32-bit integer. Add a reasonable upper limit for it, read-in at most 2**31 pages, which is a large enough value for readahead.
