Subject: mm/tlbbatch: introduce arch_tlbbatch_should_defer()
Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2023 21:10:01 +0800
Patch series "arm64: support batched/deferred tlb shootdown during page
reclamation/migration", v11.
Though ARM64 has the hardware to do tlb shootdown, the hardware
broadcasting is not free. A simplest micro benchmark shows even on
snapdragon 888 with only 8 cores, the overhead for ptep_clear_flush is
huge even for paging out one page mapped by only one process: 5.36% a.out
[kernel.kallsyms] [k] ptep_clear_flush
While pages are mapped by multiple processes or HW has more CPUs, the cost
should become even higher due to the bad scalability of tlb shootdown.
The same benchmark can result in 16.99% CPU consumption on ARM64 server
with around 100 cores according to the test on patch 4/4.
This patchset leverages the existing BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH by
1. only send tlbi instructions in the first stage -
arch_tlbbatch_add_mm()
2. wait for the completion of tlbi by dsb while doing tlbbatch
sync in arch_tlbbatch_flush()
Testing on snapdragon shows the overhead of ptep_clear_flush is removed by
the patchset. The micro benchmark becomes 5% faster even for one page
mapped by single process on snapdragon 888.
Since BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH is implemented only on x86, the patchset
does some renaming/extension for the current implementation first (Patch
1-3), then add the support on arm64 (Patch 4).
This patch (of 4):
The entire scheme of deferred TLB flush in reclaim path rests on the fact
that the cost to refill TLB entries is less than flushing out individual
entries by sending IPI to remote CPUs. But architecture can have
different ways to evaluate that. Hence apart from checking
TTU_BATCH_FLUSH in the TTU flags, rest of the decision should be
architecture specific.
