The patch titled
Subject: mm, hugetlbfs: pass fault address to no page handler
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, hugetlbfs: pass fault address to no page handler
This is to take better advantage of general huge page clearing
optimization (c79b57e462b5d, "mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page last when
clearing huge page") for hugetlbfs. In the general optimization patch,
the sub-page to access will be cleared last to avoid the cache lines of to
access sub-page to be evicted when clearing other sub-pages. This works
better if we have the address of the sub-page to access, that is, the
fault address inside the huge page. So the hugetlbfs no page fault
handler is changed to pass that information. This will benefit workloads
which don't access the begin of the hugetlbfs huge page after the page
fault under heavy cache contention for shared last level cache.
The patch is a generic optimization which should benefit quite some
workloads, not for a specific use case. To demonstrate the performance
benefit of the patch, we tested it with vm-scalability run on hugetlbfs.
With this patch, the throughput increases ~28.1% in vm-scalability
anon-w-seq test case with 88 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 2699 v4
system (44 cores, 88 threads). The test case creates 88 processes, each
process mmaps a big anonymous memory area with MAP_HUGETLB and writes to
it from the end to the begin. For each process, other processes could be
seen as other workload which generates heavy cache pressure. At the same
time, the cache miss rate reduced from ~36.3% to ~25.6%, the IPC
(instruction per cycle) increased from 0.3 to 0.37, and the time spent in
user space is reduced ~19.3%.
