Subject: mm: optimize mremap() by PTE batching
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2025 09:20:43 +0530

Use folio_pte_batch() to optimize move_ptes().  On arm64, if the ptes are
painted with the contig bit, then ptep_get() will iterate through all 16
entries to collect a/d bits.  Hence this optimization will result in a 16x
reduction in the number of ptep_get() calls.  Next, ptep_get_and_clear()
will eventually call contpte_try_unfold() on every contig block, thus
flushing the TLB for the complete large folio range.  Instead, use
get_and_clear_full_ptes() so as to elide TLBIs on each contig block, and
only do them on the starting and ending contig block.

For split folios, there will be no pte batching; nr_ptes will be 1.  For
pagetable splitting, the ptes will still point to the same large folio;
for arm64, this results in the optimization described above, and for other
arches (including the general case), a minor improvement is expected due
to a reduction in the number of function calls.
