Linus Torvalds c47454823b mm: mmu_gather: allow more than one batch of delayed rmaps 
Commit 5df397dec7 ("mm: delay page_remove_rmap() until after the TLB has
been flushed") limited the page batching for the mmu gather operation when
a dirty shared page needed to delay rmap removal until after the TLB had
been flushed.

It did so because it needs to walk that array of pages while still holding
the page table lock, and our mmu_gather infrastructure allows for batching
quite a lot of pages.  We may have thousands on pages queued up for
freeing, and we wanted to walk only the last batch if we then added a
dirty page to the queue.

However, when I limited it to one batch, I didn't think of the degenerate
case of the special first batch that is embedded on-stack in the
mmu_gather structure (called "local") and that only has eight entries.

So with the right pattern, that "limit delayed rmap to just one batch"
will trigger over and over in that first small batch, and we'll waste a
lot of time flushing TLB's every eight pages.

And those right patterns are trivially triggered by just having a shared
mappings with lots of adjacent dirty pages.  Like the 'page_fault3'
subtest of the 'will-it-scale' benchmark, that just maps a shared area,
dirties all pages, and unmaps it.  Rinse and repeat.

We still want to limit the batching, but to fix this (easily triggered)
degenerate case, just expand the "only one batch" logic to instead be
"only one batch that isn't the special first on-stack ('local') batch".

That way, when we need to flush the delayed rmaps, we can still limit our
walk to just the last batch - and that first small one.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
