Subject: mm: move lesser used vma_area_struct members into the last cacheline
Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2025 14:46:50 -0800

Move several vma_area_struct members which are rarely or never used during
page fault handling into the last cacheline to better pack vm_area_struct.
As a result vm_area_struct will fit into 3 as opposed to 4 cachelines. 
New typical vm_area_struct layout:

struct vm_area_struct {
    union {
        struct {
            long unsigned int vm_start;              /*     0     8 */
            long unsigned int vm_end;                /*     8     8 */
        };                                           /*     0    16 */
        freeptr_t          vm_freeptr;               /*     0     8 */
    };                                               /*     0    16 */
    struct mm_struct *         vm_mm;                /*    16     8 */
    pgprot_t                   vm_page_prot;         /*    24     8 */
    union {
        const vm_flags_t   vm_flags;                 /*    32     8 */
        vm_flags_t         __vm_flags;               /*    32     8 */
    };                                               /*    32     8 */
    unsigned int               vm_lock_seq;          /*    40     4 */

    /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

    struct list_head           anon_vma_chain;       /*    48    16 */
    /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
    struct anon_vma *          anon_vma;             /*    64     8 */
    const struct vm_operations_struct  * vm_ops;     /*    72     8 */
    long unsigned int          vm_pgoff;             /*    80     8 */
    struct file *              vm_file;              /*    88     8 */
    void *                     vm_private_data;      /*    96     8 */
    atomic_long_t              swap_readahead_info;  /*   104     8 */
    struct mempolicy *         vm_policy;            /*   112     8 */
    struct vma_numab_state *   numab_state;          /*   120     8 */
    /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
    refcount_t          vm_refcnt (__aligned__(64)); /*   128     4 */

    /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

    struct {
        struct rb_node     rb (__aligned__(8));      /*   136    24 */
        long unsigned int  rb_subtree_last;          /*   160     8 */
    } __attribute__((__aligned__(8))) shared;        /*   136    32 */
    struct anon_vma_name *     anon_name;            /*   168     8 */
    struct vm_userfaultfd_ctx  vm_userfaultfd_ctx;   /*   176     8 */

    /* size: 192, cachelines: 3, members: 18 */
    /* sum members: 176, holes: 2, sum holes: 8 */
    /* padding: 8 */
    /* forced alignments: 2, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 4 */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(64)));

Memory consumption per 1000 VMAs becomes 48 pages:
