The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: batch HVO work when demoting has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-hugetlb_vmemmap-batch-hvo-work-when-demoting.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: Yu Zhao yuzhao@google.com 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.
