From: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx> Hi all, File folio supports any order and multi-size THP is upstreamed[1], so both file and anonymous folios can be >0 order. Currently, split_huge_page() only splits a huge page to order-0 pages, but splitting to orders higher than 0 is going to better utilize large folios. In addition, Large Block Sizes in XFS support would benefit from it[2]. This patchset adds support for splitting a large folio to any lower order folios and uses it during file folio truncate operations. For Patch 6, Hugh did not like my approach to minimize the number of folios for truncate[3]. I would like to get more feedback, especially from FS people, on it to decide whether to keep it or not. The patchset is on top of mm-everything-2024-02-13-01-26. Changelog === Since v3 --- 1. Excluded shmem folios and pagecache folios without FS support from splitting to any order (per Hugh Dickins). 2. Allowed splitting anonymous large folio to any lower order since multi-size THP is upstreamed. 3. Adapted selftests code to new framework. Since v2 --- 1. Fixed an issue in __split_page_owner() introduced during my rebase Since v1 --- 1. Changed split_page_memcg() and split_page_owner() parameter to use order 2. Used folio_test_pmd_mappable() in place of the equivalent code Details === * Patch 1 changes split_page_memcg() to use order instead of nr_pages * Patch 2 changes split_page_owner() to use order instead of nr_pages * Patch 3 and 4 add new_order parameter split_page_memcg() and split_page_owner() and prepare for upcoming changes. * Patch 5 adds split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() to split a huge page to any lower order. The original split_huge_page_to_list() calls split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() with new_order = 0. * Patch 6 uses split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() in large pagecache folio truncation instead of split the large folio all the way down to order-0. * Patch 7 adds a test API to debugfs and test cases in split_huge_page_test selftests. Comments and/or suggestions are welcome.
