Subject: mm: optimize invalidation of shadow entries
Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2024 15:47:16 -0700
The kernel invalidates the page cache in batches of PAGEVEC_SIZE. For
each batch, it traverses the page cache tree and collects the entries
(folio and shadow entries) in the struct folio_batch. For the shadow
entries present in the folio_batch, it has to traverse the page cache tree
for each individual entry to remove them. This patch optimize this by
removing them in a single tree traversal.
To evaluate the changes, we created 200GiB file on a fuse fs and in a
memcg. We created the shadow entries by triggering reclaim through
memory.reclaim in that specific memcg and measure the simple
fadvise(DONTNEED) operation.
# time xfs_io -c 'fadvise -d 0 ${file_size}' file
