[PATCH v3 00/34] New page table range API

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

 



This patchset changes the API used by the MM to set up page table entries.
The four APIs are:
    set_ptes(mm, addr, ptep, pte, nr)
    update_mmu_cache_range(vma, addr, ptep, nr)
    flush_dcache_folio(folio)
    flush_icache_pages(vma, page, nr)

flush_dcache_folio() isn't technically new, but no architecture
implemented it, so I've done that for you.  The old APIs remain around
but are mostly implemented by calling the new interfaces.

The new APIs are based around setting up N page table entries at once.
The N entries belong to the same PMD, the same folio and the same VMA,
so ptep++ is a legitimate operation, and locking is taken care of for
you.  Some architectures can do a better job of it than just a loop,
but I have hesitated to make too deep a change to architectures I don't
understand well.

One thing I have changed in every architecture is that PG_arch_1 is now a
per-folio bit instead of a per-page bit.  This was something that would
have to happen eventually, and it makes sense to do it now rather than
iterate over every page involved in a cache flush and figure out if it
needs to happen.

The point of all this is better performance, and Fengwei Yin has
measured improvement on x86.  I suspect you'll see improvement on
your architecture too.  Try the new will-it-scale test mentioned here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230206140639.538867-5-fengwei.yin@xxxxxxxxx/
You'll need to run it on an XFS filesystem and have
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE set.

For testing, I've only run the code on x86.  If an x86->foo compiler
exists in Debian, I've built defconfig.  I'm relying on the buildbots
to tell me what I missed, and people who actually have the hardware to
tell me if it actually works.

I'd like to get this into the MM tree soon after the current merge window
closes, so quick feedback would be appreciated.

v3:
 - Reinstate flush_dcache_icache_phys() on PowerPC
 - Fix folio_flush_mapping().  The documentation was correct and the
   implementation was completely wrong
 - Change the flush_dcache_page() documentation to describe
   flush_dcache_folio() instead
 - Split ARM from ARC.  I messed up my git commands
 - Remove page_mapping_file()
 - Rationalise how flush_icache_pages() and flush_icache_page() are defined
 - Use flush_icache_pages() in do_set_pmd()
 - Pick up Guo Ren's Ack for csky
