[PATCH v13 000/137] Memory folios

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

 



Managing memory in 4KiB pages is a serious overhead.  Many benchmarks
benefit from a larger "page size".  As an example, an earlier iteration
of this idea which used compound pages (and wasn't particularly tuned)
got a 7% performance boost when compiling the kernel.

Using compound pages or THPs exposes a weakness of our type system.
Functions are often unprepared for compound pages to be passed to them,
and may only act on PAGE_SIZE chunks.  Even functions which are aware of
compound pages may expect a head page, and do the wrong thing if passed
a tail page.

We also waste a lot of instructions ensuring that we're not looking at
a tail page.  Almost every call to PageFoo() contains one or more hidden
calls to compound_head().  This also happens for get_page(), put_page()
and many more functions.

This patch series uses a new type, the struct folio, to manage memory.
It converts enough of the page cache, iomap and XFS to use folios instead
of pages, and then adds support for multi-page folios.  It passes xfstests
(running on XFS) with no regressions compared to v5.14-rc1.
