Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] enable PT_RECLAIM on all 64-bit architectures
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 15:31:17 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1763537007.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com> (raw)
From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>
Changelog in v2:
- fix compilation errors (reported by Magnus Lindholm and kernel test robot)
- adjust some code style (suggested by Huacai Chen)
- make PT_RECLAIM user-unselectable (suggested by David Hildenbrand)
- rebase onto the next-20251119
Hi all,
This series aims to enable PT_RECLAIM on all 64-bit architectures.
On a 64-bit system, madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) may cause a large number of empty PTE
page table pages (such as 100GB+). To resolve this problem, we need to enable
PT_RECLAIM, which depends on MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE.
Therefore, this series first enables MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE on all 64-bit
architectures, and finally makes PT_RECLAIM depend on 64BIT. This way,
PT_RECLAIM can be enabled by default on all 64-bit architectures.
BTW, PT_RECLAIM works well on all 32-bit architectures as well. Although the
benefit isn't significant, there's still memory that can be reclaimed. Perhaps
PT_RECLAIM can be enabled on all 32-bit architectures in the future.
Comments and suggestions are welcome!
Thanks,
Qi
