From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: optimise nth_page for contiguous memmap If the memmap is virtually contiguous (either because we're using a virtually mapped memmap or because we don't support a discontig memmap at all), then we can implement nth_page() by simple addition. Contrary to popular belief, the compiler is not able to optimise this itself for a vmemmap configuration. This reduces one example user (sg.c) by four instructions: struct page *page = nth_page(rsv_schp->pages[k], offset >> PAGE_SHIFT); before: 49 8b 45 70 mov 0x70(%r13),%rax 48 63 c9 movslq %ecx,%rcx 48 c1 eb 0c shr $0xc,%rbx 48 8b 04 c8 mov (%rax,%rcx,8),%rax 48 2b 05 00 00 00 00 sub 0x0(%rip),%rax R_X86_64_PC32 vmemmap_base-0x4 48 c1 f8 06 sar $0x6,%rax 48 01 d8 add %rbx,%rax 48 c1 e0 06 shl $0x6,%rax 48 03 05 00 00 00 00 add 0x0(%rip),%rax R_X86_64_PC32 vmemmap_base-0x4 after: 49 8b 45 70 mov 0x70(%r13),%rax 48 63 c9 movslq %ecx,%rcx 48 c1 eb 0c shr $0xc,%rbx 48 c1 e3 06 shl $0x6,%rbx 48 03 1c c8 add (%rax,%rcx,8),%rbx Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210413194625.1472345-1-willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Reviewed-by: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Douglas Gilbert <dougg@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- include/linux/mm.h | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) --- a/include/linux/mm.h~mm-optimise-nth_page-for-contiguous-memmap +++ a/include/linux/mm.h @@ -234,7 +234,11 @@ int overcommit_policy_handler(struct ctl int __add_to_page_cache_locked(struct page *page, struct address_space *mapping, pgoff_t index, gfp_t gfp, void **shadowp); +#if defined(CONFIG_SPARSEMEM) && !defined(CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP) #define nth_page(page,n) pfn_to_page(page_to_pfn((page)) + (n)) +#else +#define nth_page(page,n) ((page) + (n)) +#endif /* to align the pointer to the (next) page boundary */ #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) ALIGN(addr, PAGE_SIZE) _
