Subject: mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: batch HVO work when demoting
Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2024 16:48:23 -0600
Batch the HVO work, including de-HVO of the source and HVO of the
destination hugeTLB folios, to speed up demotion.
After commit bd225530a4c7 ("mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix race with speculative
PFN walkers"), each request of HVO or de-HVO, batched or not, invokes
synchronize_rcu() once. For example, when not batched, demoting one 1GB
hugeTLB folio to 512 2MB hugeTLB folios invokes synchronize_rcu() 513
times (1 de-HVO plus 512 HVO requests), whereas when batched, only twice
(1 de-HVO plus 1 HVO request). And the performance difference between the
two cases is significant, e.g.,
echo 2048kB >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote_size
time echo 100 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote
Before this patch:
real 8m58.158s
user 0m0.009s
sys 0m5.900s
After this patch:
real 0m0.900s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.851s
Note that this patch changes the behavior of the `demote` interface when
de-HVO fails. Before, the interface aborts immediately upon failure; now,
it tries to finish an entire batch, meaning it can make extra progress if
the rest of the batch contains folios that do not need to de-HVO.
