It's not only confusing, but also duplicating a lot of logics that generic gup already has, making hugetlb slightly special. This patchset tries to dedup the logic, by first touching up the slow gup code to be able to handle hugetlb pages correctly with the current follow page and faultin routines (where we're mostly there.. due to 10 years ago we did try to optimize thp, but half way done; more below), then at the last patch drop the special path, then the hugetlb gup will always go the generic routine too via faultin_page(). Note that hugetlb is still special for gup, mostly due to the pgtable walking (hugetlb_walk()) that we rely on which is currently per-arch. But this is still one small step forward, and the diffstat might be a proof too that this might be worthwhile. Then for the "speed up thp" side: as a side effect, when I'm looking at the chunk of code, I found that thp support is actually partially done. It doesn't mean that thp won't work for gup, but as long as **pages pointer passed over, the optimization will be skipped too. Patch 6 should address that, so for thp we now get full speed gup. For a quick number, "chrt -f 1 ./gup_test -m 512 -t -L -n 1024 -r 10" gives me 13992.50us -> 378.50us. Gup_test is an extreme case, but just to show how it affects thp gups. Patch 1-5: prepares for the switch Patch 6: switchover to the new code and remove the old Patch 7-8: added some gup test matrix into run_vmtests.sh Please review, thanks.
