[PATCH v3 0/9] Buddy allocator like folio split

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

 



Hi all

This patchset adds a new buddy allocator like large folio split to the total
number of resulting folios, the amount of memory needed for multi-index xarray
split, and keep more large folios after a split. It is on top of
mm-everything-2024-11-16-23-36.


Instead of duplicating existing split_huge_page*() code, __folio_split()
is introduced as the shared backend code for both
split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() and folio_split(). __folio_split()
can support both uniform split and buddy allocator like split. All
existing split_huge_page*() users can be gradually converted to use
folio_split() if possible. In this patchset, I converted
truncate_inode_partial_folio() to use folio_split().

THP tests in selftesting passed for split_huge_page*() runs and I also
tested folio_split() for anon large folio, pagecache folio, and
truncate.
