[PATCH v1 09/11] mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP

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

 



Let's implement PTE batching when consecutive (present) PTEs map
consecutive pages of the same large folio, and all other PTE bits besides
the PFNs are equal.

We will optimize folio_pte_batch() separately, to ignore some other
PTE bits. This patch is based on work by Ryan Roberts.

Use __always_inline for __copy_present_ptes() and keep the handling for
single PTEs completely separate from the multi-PTE case: we really want
the compiler to optimize for the single-PTE case with small folios, to
not degrade performance.

Note that PTE batching will never exceed a single page table and will
always stay within VMA boundaries.
