When FADV_DONTNEED cannot drop all pages in the range, it observes that some pages might still be on per-cpu LRU caches after recent instantiation and so initiates remote calls to all CPUs to flush their local caches. However, in most cases, the fadvise happens from the same context that instantiated the pages, and any pre-LRU pages in the specified range are most likely sitting on the local CPU's LRU cache, and so in many cases this results in unnecessary remote calls, which, in a loaded system, can hold up the fadvise() call significantly. [ I didn't record it in the extreme case we observed at Facebook, unfortunately. We had a slow-to-respond system and noticed it lru_add_drain_all() leading the profile during fadvise calls. This patch came out of thinking about the code and how we commonly call FADV_DONTNEED. FWIW, I wrote a silly directory tree walker/searcher that recurses through /usr to read and FADV_DONTNEED each file it finds. On a 2 socket 40 ht machine, over 1% is spent in lru_add_drain_all(). With the patch, that cost is gone; the local drain cost shows at 0.09%. ] Try to avoid the remote call by flushing the local LRU cache before even attempting to invalidate anything. It's a cheap operation, and the local LRU cache is the most likely to hold any pre-LRU pages in the specified fadvise range.
