[PATCH v3 1/7] mm: Add a bitmap into mmu_notifier_{clear,test}_young

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The bitmap is provided for secondary MMUs to use if they support it. For
test_young(), after it returns, the bitmap represents the pages that
were young in the interval [start, end). For clear_young, it represents
the pages that we wish the secondary MMU to clear the accessed/young bit
for.

If a bitmap is not provided, the mmu_notifier_{test,clear}_young() API
should be unchanged except that if young PTEs are found and the
architecture supports passing in a bitmap, instead of returning 1,
MMU_NOTIFIER_YOUNG_FAST is returned.

This allows MGLRU's look-around logic to work faster, resulting in a 4%
improvement in real workloads[1]. Also introduce MMU_NOTIFIER_YOUNG_FAST
to indicate to main mm that doing look-around is likely to be
beneficial.

If the secondary MMU doesn't support the bitmap, it must return
an int that contains MMU_NOTIFIER_YOUNG_BITMAP_UNRELIABLE.
