[PATCH RFC] mm/vmap: map contiguous pages in batches whenever possible

by Barry Song

From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua(a)oppo.com> In many cases, the pages passed to vmap() may include high-order pages—for example, the systemheap often allocates pages in descending order: order 8, then 4, then 0. Currently, vmap() iterates over every page individually—even the pages inside a high-order block are handled one by one. This patch detects high-order pages and maps them as a single contiguous block whenever possible. Another possibility is to implement a new API, vmap_sg(). However, that change seems to be quite large in scope. When vmapping a 128MB dma-buf using the systemheap, this RFC appears to make system_heap_do_vmap() 16× faster: W/ patch: [ 51.363682] system_heap_do_vmap took 2474000 ns [ 53.307044] system_heap_do_vmap took 2469008 ns [ 55.061985] system_heap_do_vmap took 2519008 ns [ 56.653810] system_heap_do_vmap took 2674000 ns W/o patch: [ 8.260880] system_heap_do_vmap took 39490000 ns [ 32.513292] system_heap_do_vmap took 38784000 ns [ 82.673374] system_heap_do_vmap took 40711008 ns [ 84.579062] system_heap_do_vmap took 40236000 ns Cc: Uladzislau Rezki <urezki(a)gmail.com> Cc: Sumit Semwal <sumit.semwal(a)linaro.org> Cc: John Stultz <jstultz(a)google.com> Cc: Maxime Ripard <mripard(a)kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Barry Song <v-songbaohua(a)oppo.com> --- mm/vmalloc.c | 49 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 43 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/mm/vmalloc.c b/mm/vmalloc.c index 0832f944544c..af2e3e8c052a 100644 --- a/mm/vmalloc.c +++ b/mm/vmalloc.c @@ -642,6 +642,34 @@ static int vmap_small_pages_range_noflush(unsigned long addr, unsigned long end, return err; } +static inline int get_vmap_batch_order(struct page **pages, + unsigned int stride, + int max_steps, + unsigned int idx) +{ + /* + * Currently, batching is only supported in vmap_pages_range + * when page_shift == PAGE_SHIFT. + */ + if (stride != 1) + return 0; + + struct page *base = pages[idx]; + if (!PageHead(base)) + return 0; + + int order = compound_order(base); + int nr_pages = 1 << order; + + if (max_steps < nr_pages) + return 0; + + for (int i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++) + if (pages[idx + i] != base + i) + return 0; + return order; +} + /* * vmap_pages_range_noflush is similar to vmap_pages_range, but does not * flush caches. @@ -655,23 +683,32 @@ int __vmap_pages_range_noflush(unsigned long addr, unsigned long end, pgprot_t prot, struct page **pages, unsigned int page_shift) { unsigned int i, nr = (end - addr) >> PAGE_SHIFT; + unsigned int stride; WARN_ON(page_shift < PAGE_SHIFT); + /* + * Some users may allocate pages from high-order down to order 0. + * We roughly check if the first page is a compound page.

[PATCH] dma-buf: heaps: Clear CMA pages with clear_page()

by Linus Walleij

clear_page() translates into memset(*p, 0, PAGE_SIZE) on some architectures, but on the major architectures it will call an optimized assembly snippet so use this instead of open coding a memset().

Re: [PATCH v17 44/47] dept: introduce APIs to set page usage and use subclasses_evt for the usage

I'd like to annotate a page to DEPT_PAGE_REGFILE_CACHE when the page starts to be associated with a page cache for fs data. 2. And I'd like to annotate a page to DEPT_PAGE_BDEV_CACHE when the page starts to be associated with meta data of fs e.g. super block. 3. Lastly, I'd like to reset the annotated value if any, that has been set in the page, when the page ends the assoication with either page cache or meta block of fs e.g. freeing the page. Can anyone suggest good places in code for the annotation 1, 2, 3? It'd be totally appreciated. :-) Byungchul > Introduce APIs to set each page's usage properly and make sure not to > interact between at least between DEPT_PAGE_REGFILE_CACHE and > DEPT_PAGE_BDEV_CACHE.
