[PATCH v6 00/38] New page table range API

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

 



For some reason, I didn't get an email when v5 was dropped from linux-next
(I got an email from Andrew saying he was going to, but when I didn't get
the automated emails, I assumed he'd changed his mind).  So here's v6,
far later than I would have resent it.

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 them.  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 when used for dcache
clean/dirty tracking.  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.

This patchset is the basis for much of the anonymous large folio work
being done by Ryan, so it's received quite a lot of testing over the
last few months.

v6:
 - Fix other definitions of in_range(); either renaming them to not conflict
   or removing them and using the new common definition.
 - Use arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode()
 - Fix a compiler warning in the riscv implementation
 - Update to next-20230731

v5:
 - Add in_range() macro
 - Fix numerous compilation problems on minority architectures (thanks LKP!)
 - Add the 'vmf' argument to update_mmu_cache_range() to help MIPS
   and other architectures that insert TLB entries in software,
   rather than using a hardware page table walker
 - Get rid of first_map_page() and next_map_page(); use
   next_uptodate_folio() directly
 - Actually move the mmap_miss accounting in filemap.c
 - Add kernel-doc for set_pte_range()
 - Correct determination of prefaulting in set_pte_range()
 - More Acked & Reviewed tags

v4:
 - Fix a few compile errors (mostly Mike Rapoport)
 - Incorporate Mike's suggestion to avoid having to define set_ptes()
   or set_pte_at() on the majority of architectures
 - Optimise m68k's __flush_pages_to_ram (Geert Uytterhoeven)
 - Fix sun3 (me)
 - Fix sparc32 (me)
 - Pick up a few more Ack/Reviewed tags

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
