Subject: mm/hugetlb: avoid looping to the same hugepage if !pages and !vmas
When mmapping an existing hugetlbfs file with MAP_POPULATE, we find it is
very time consuming. For example, mmapping a 128GB file takes about 50
milliseconds. Sampling with perfevent shows it spends 99% time in the
same_page loop in follow_hugetlb_page().
samples: 205 of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 136686374
- 99.04% test_mmap_huget [kernel.kallsyms] [k] follow_hugetlb_page
follow_hugetlb_page
__get_user_pages
__mlock_vma_pages_range
__mm_populate
vm_mmap_pgoff
sys_mmap_pgoff
sys_mmap
system_call_fastpath
__mmap64
follow_hugetlb_page() is called with pages=NULL and vmas=NULL, so for each
hugepage, we run into the same_page loop for pages_per_huge_page() times,
but doing nothing. With this change, it takes less then 1 millisecond to
mmap a 128GB file in hugetlbfs.
