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 might better utilize large folios, if done properly. In addition, Large Block Sizes in XFS support would benefit from it during truncate[2]. This patchset adds support for splitting a large folio to any lower order folios. The patchset is on top of mm-everything-2024-02-24-02-40. In addition to this implementation of split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(), a possible optimization could be splitting a large folio to arbitrary smaller folios instead of a single order. As both Hugh and Ryan pointed out [3,5] that split to a single order might not be optimal, an order-9 folio might be better split into 1 order-8, 1 order-7, ..., 1 order-1, and 2 order-0 folios, depending on subsequent folio operations. Leave this as future work. Changelog === Since v4[4] 1. Picked up Matthew's order-1 folio support in the page cache patch, so that XFS Large Block Sizes patchset can avoid additional code churn in split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(). 2. Dropped truncate change patch and corresponding testing code. 3. Removed thp_nr_pages() use in __split_huge_page() (per David Hildenbrand). 4. Fixed __split_page_owner() (per David Hildenbrand). 5. Changed unmap_folio() to only add TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD if the folios is pmd mappable (per Ryan Roberts). 6. Moved swapcached folio split warning upfront and return -EINVAL (per Ryan Roberts). 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 unmap_folio() to only add TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD if the folio is pmd mappable. * Patch 2 adds support for order-1 page cache folio. * Patch 3 changes split_page_memcg() to use order instead of nr_pages. * Patch 4 changes split_page_owner() to use order instead of nr_pages. * Patch 5 and 6 add new_order parameter split_page_memcg() and split_page_owner() and prepare for upcoming changes. * Patch 7 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 8 adds a test API to debugfs and test cases in split_huge_page_test selftests. Comments and/or suggestions are welcome.
