Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] mm: Optimize mremap() by PTE batching
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2025 09:20:43 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250610035043.75448-3-dev.jain@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250610035043.75448-1-dev.jain@arm.com>
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.
