[PATCH/RFC v2 0/3] tlb: mmu_gather: use batched table free if possible

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In mmu_gather code, the final table free in __tlb_remove_table_free()
executes a loop, calling arch hook __tlb_remove_table() to free each table
individually.

Several architectures use free_page_and_swap_cache() as their
__tlb_remove_table() implementation. Calling that in loop results into
individual calls to put_page() for each page being freed.

This patchset refactors the code to issue a single release_pages() call
in this case. This is expected to have better performance, especially when
memcg accounting is enabled.

Nikita Yushchenko (3):
  tlb: mmu_gather: introduce CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE_COMMON
  mm/swap: introduce free_pages_and_swap_cache_nolru()
  tlb: mmu_gather: use batched table free if possible
