When doing compaction, I found the lru_add_drain() is an obvious hotspot
when migrating pages. The distribution of this hotspot is as follows:
- 18.75% compact_zone
- 17.39% migrate_pages
- 13.79% migrate_pages_batch
- 11.66% migrate_folio_move
- 7.02% lru_add_drain
+ 7.02% lru_add_drain_cpu
+ 3.00% move_to_new_folio
1.23% rmap_walk
+ 1.92% migrate_folio_unmap
+ 3.20% migrate_pages_sync
+ 0.90% isolate_migratepages
The lru_add_drain() was added by commit c3096e6782b7 ("mm/migrate:
__unmap_and_move() push good newpage to LRU") to drain the newpage to LRU
immediately, to help to build up the correct newpage->mlock_count in
remove_migration_ptes() for mlocked pages. However, if there are no mlocked
pages are migrating, then we can avoid this lru drain operation, especailly
for the heavy concurrent scenarios.
So we can record the source pages' mlocked status in migrate_folio_unmap(),
and only drain the lru list when the mlocked status is set in migrate_folio_move().
In addition, the page was already isolated from lru when migrating, so checking
the mlocked status is stable by folio_test_mlocked() in migrate_folio_unmap().
After this patch, I can see the hotpot of the lru_add_drain() is gone:
- 9.41% migrate_pages_batch
- 6.15% migrate_folio_move
- 3.64% move_to_new_folio
+ 1.80% migrate_folio_extra
+ 1.70% buffer_migrate_folio
+ 1.41% rmap_walk
+ 0.62% folio_add_lru
+ 3.07% migrate_folio_unmap
Meanwhile, the compaction latency shows some improvements when running
thpscale:

Changes from v2:
- Use BIT() to define macros.
- Simplify handing page_was_mapped and page_was_mlocked variables with
introducing old_page_state variable.
Changes from v1:
- Use separate flags in __migrate_folio_record() to avoid to pack flags
in each call site per Ying.
