Subject: mm: swap: reuse exclusive folio directly instead of wp page faults
Date: Sun, 2 Jun 2024 12:45:02 +1200
After swapping out, we perform a swap-in operation. If we first read and
then write, we encounter a major fault in do_swap_page for reading, along
with additional minor faults in do_wp_page for writing. However, the
latter appears to be unnecessary and inefficient. Instead, we can
directly reuse in do_swap_page and completely eliminate the need for
do_wp_page.
This patch achieves that optimization specifically for exclusive folios.
The following microbenchmark demonstrates the significant reduction in
minor faults.
#define DATA_SIZE (2UL * 1024 * 1024)
#define PAGE_SIZE (4UL * 1024)
static void *read_write_data(char *addr)
{
char tmp;
for (int i = 0; i < DATA_SIZE; i += PAGE_SIZE) {
tmp = *(volatile char *)(addr + i);
*(volatile char *)(addr + i) = tmp;
}
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
struct rusage ru;
char *addr = mmap(NULL, DATA_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
memset(addr, 0x11, DATA_SIZE);
do {
long old_ru_minflt, old_ru_majflt;
long new_ru_minflt, new_ru_majflt;
madvise(addr, DATA_SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, &ru);
old_ru_minflt = ru.ru_minflt;
old_ru_majflt = ru.ru_majflt;
read_write_data(addr);
getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, &ru);
new_ru_minflt = ru.ru_minflt;
new_ru_majflt = ru.ru_majflt;
printf("minor faults:%ld major faults:%ld\n",
new_ru_minflt - old_ru_minflt,
new_ru_majflt - old_ru_majflt);
} while(0);
return 0;
}
w/o patch,
/ # ~/a.out
minor faults:512 major faults:512
w/ patch,
/ # ~/a.out
minor faults:0 major faults:512
Minor faults decrease to 0!
