[PATCH RFC 3/9] x86/mm/cpa: Add grouped page allocations

Rick Edgecombe
2021-05-05T00:32:34Z

For x86, setting memory permissions on the direct map results in fracturing
large pages. Direct map fracturing can be reduced by locating pages that
will have their permissions set close together.

Create a simple page cache that allocates pages from huge page size
blocks. Don't guarantee that a page will come from a huge page grouping,
instead fallback to non-grouped pages to fulfill the allocation if
needed. Also, register a shrinker such that the system can ask for the
pages back if needed. Since this is only needed when there is a direct
map, compile it out on highmem systems.

Free pages in the cache are kept track of in per-node list inside a
list_lru. NUMA_NO_NODE requests are serviced by checking each per-node
list in a round robin fashion. If pages are requested for a certain node
but the cache is empty for that node, a whole additional huge page size
page is allocated.
