I looked at the performance number with and without patch. I don't see much
impact in the numbers. We do have a path lengh increase ( I measured this
using systemsim)
Path length __hash_page_4k
with patch: 196
without patch: 142
Path length __hash_page_64k
with patch: 219
without patch: 154
But even if we have a path lengh increase of around 50 instructions. We don't see
the impact when running workload. I tried the kernelbuild test.
With THP enabled (which is default) we see an improvement. I haven't fully looked at
the reason. This could be due to reduced contention of ptl lock. __hash_thp_page is
already a C code.
