Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] support batched checking of the young flag for MGLRU
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 17:44:34 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1772185080.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

This is a follow-up to the previous work [1], to support batched checking
of the young flag for MGLRU.

Similarly, batched checking of young flag for large folios can improve
performance during large-folio reclamation when MGLRU is enabled. I
observed noticeable performance improvements (see patch 5) on an Arm64
machine that supports contiguous PTEs. All mm-selftests are passed.

Patch 1 - 3: cleanup patches.
Patch 4: add a new generic batched PTE helper: test_and_clear_young_ptes().
Patch 5: support batched young flag checking for MGLRU.
Patch 6: implement the Arm64 arch-specific test_and_clear_young_ptes().

Changes from v1:
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1771897150.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com/
 - Update some commit message (per David).
 - Fix some coding style issues (per David).
 - Use VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_FOLIO() instead of VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO() (per Rik).
 - Define a generic ptep_test_and_clear_young_notify() (per David).
 - Remove redundant 'nr > 1' check in folio_referenced_one() (per David).
 - Rename some variables' to make code more clear (per David).
 - Add a new patch to rename some functions (per David).
 - Update the young counters with the batched count for MGLRU.
 - Collect reviewed tags from Rik, Barry, Alistair and David. Thanks.

Baolin Wang (6):
  mm: use inline helper functions instead of ugly macros
  mm: rename ptep/pmdp_clear_young_notify() to
    ptep/pmdp_test_and_clear_young_notify()
  mm: rmap: add a ZONE_DEVICE folio warning in folio_referenced()
  mm: add a batched helper to clear the young flag for large folios
  mm: support batched checking of the young flag for MGLRU
  arm64: mm: implement the architecture-specific
    test_and_clear_young_ptes()
