[PATCH v1 10/11] device-dax: compound pagemap support

Joao Martins
2021-03-25T23:10:43Z

dax devices are created with a fixed @align (huge page size) which
is enforced through as well at mmap() of the device. Faults,
consequently happen too at the specified @align specified at the
creation, and those don't change through out dax device lifetime.
MCEs poisons a whole dax huge page, as well as splits occurring at
at the configured page size.

Use the newly added compound pagemap facility which maps the
assigned dax ranges as compound pages at a page size of @align.
Currently, this means, that region/namespace bootstrap would take
considerably less, given that you would initialize considerably less
pages.

On setups with 128G NVDIMMs the initialization with DRAM stored struct pages
improves from ~268-358 ms to ~78-100 ms with 2M pages, and to less than
a 1msec with 1G pages.
