The quilt patch titled Subject: filemap: batch PTE mappings has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was filemap-batch-pte-mappings.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Yin Fengwei <fengwei.yin@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: filemap: batch PTE mappings Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2023 16:14:05 +0100 Call set_pte_range() once per contiguous range of the folio instead of once per page. This batches the updates to mm counters and the rmap. With a will-it-scale.page_fault3 like app (change file write fault testing to read fault testing. Trying to upstream it to will-it-scale at [1]) got 15% performance gain on a 48C/96T Cascade Lake test box with 96 processes running against xfs. Perf data collected before/after the change: 18.73%--page_add_file_rmap | --11.60%--__mod_lruvec_page_state | |--7.40%--__mod_memcg_lruvec_state | | | --5.58%--cgroup_rstat_updated | --2.53%--__mod_lruvec_state | --1.48%--__mod_node_page_state 9.93%--page_add_file_rmap_range | --2.67%--__mod_lruvec_page_state | |--1.95%--__mod_memcg_lruvec_state | | | --1.57%--cgroup_rstat_updated | --0.61%--__mod_lruvec_state | --0.54%--__mod_node_page_state The running time of __mode_lruvec_page_state() is reduced about 9%.
