While doing MADV_PAGEOUT, the current code will clear PTE young so that vmscan won't read young flags to allow the reclamation of madvised folios to go ahead. It seems we can do it by directly ignoring references, thus we can remove tlb flush in madvise and rmap overhead in vmscan. Regarding the side effect, in the original code, if a parallel thread runs side by side to access the madvised memory with the thread doing madvise, folios will get a chance to be re-activated by vmscan (though the time gap is actually quite small since checking PTEs is done immediately after clearing PTEs young). But with this patch, they will still be reclaimed. But this behaviour doing PAGEOUT and doing access at the same time is quite silly like DoS. So probably, we don't need to care. Or ignoring the new access during the quite small time gap is even better. For DAMON's DAMOS_PAGEOUT based on physical address region, we still keep its behaviour as is since a physical address might be mapped by multiple processes. MADV_PAGEOUT based on virtual address is actually much more aggressive on reclamation. To untouch paddr's DAMOS_PAGEOUT, we simply pass ignore_references as false in reclaim_pages(). A microbench as below has shown 6% decrement on the latency of MADV_PAGEOUT, #define PGSIZE 4096 main() { int i; #define SIZE 512*1024*1024 volatile long *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); for (i = 0; i < SIZE/sizeof(long); i += PGSIZE / sizeof(long)) p[i] = 0x11; madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT); } w/o patch w/ patch root@10:~# time ./a.out root@10:~# time ./a.out real 0m49.634s real 0m46.334s user 0m0.637s user 0m0.648s sys 0m47.434s sys 0m44.265s Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240226005739.24350-1-21cnbao@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@oppo.com> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |
