Patch series "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type", v3.
All users of dax now require a ZONE_DEVICE page which is properly
refcounted. This means there is no longer any need for the PFN_DEV,
PFN_MAP and PFN_SPECIAL flags. Furthermore the PFN_SG_CHAIN and
PFN_SG_LAST flags never appear to have been used. It is therefore
possible to remove the pfn_t type and replace any usage with raw pfns.
The remaining users of PFN_DEV have simply passed this to
vmf_insert_mixed() to create pte_devmap() mappings. It is unclear why
this was the case but presumably to ensure vm_normal_page() does not
return these pages. These users can be trivially converted to raw pfns
and creating a pXX_special() mapping to ensure vm_normal_page() still
doesn't return these pages.
Now that there are no users of PFN_DEV we can remove the devmap page table
bit and all associated functions and macros, freeing up a software page
table bit.
This patch (of 14):
Currently dax is the only user of pmd and pud mapped ZONE_DEVICE pages.
Therefore page walkers that want to exclude DAX pages can check pmd_devmap
or pud_devmap. However soon dax will no longer set PFN_DEV, meaning dax
pages are mapped as normal pages.
Ensure page walkers that currently use pXd_devmap to skip DAX pages
continue to do so by adding explicit checks of the VMA instead.
Remove vma_is_dax() check from mm/userfaultfd.c as validate_move_areas()
will already skip DAX VMA's on account of them not being anonymous.
The check in userfaultfd_must_wait() is also redundant as
vma_can_userfault() should have already filtered out dax vma's.
For HMM the pud_devmap check seems unnecessary as there is no reason we
shouldn't be able to handle any leaf PUD here so remove it also.

CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU
Recently discovered this entry while checking kallsyms on ARM64:
ffff800083e509c0 D _shared_alloc_tag
If ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU is not defined(it is only defined for s390 and
alpha architectures), there's no need to statically define the percpu
variable _shared_alloc_tag.
Therefore, we need to implement isolation for this purpose.
When building the core kernel code for s390 or alpha architectures,
ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU remains undefined (as it is gated by #if
defined(MODULE)). However, when building modules for these architectures,
the macro is explicitly defined.
Therefore, we remove all instances of ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU from the
code and introduced CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU to replace the
relevant logic. We can now conditionally define the perpcu variable
_shared_alloc_tag based on CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU. This
allows architectures (such as s390/alpha) that require weak definitions
for percpu variables in modules to include the definition, while others
can omit it via compile-time exclusion.

Unlike the existing tests, this new test will create a memfd (backed by
hugetlb) and pin the folios in it (a small subset) before writing/
populating it with data. This is a valid use-case that invokes the
memfd_alloc_folio() kernel API and is expected to work unless there aren't
enough hugetlb folios to satisfy the allocation needs.

When we try to allocate a folio via alloc_hugetlb_folio_reserve(), we need
to ensure that there is an active reservation associated with the
allocation. Otherwise, our allocation request would fail if there are no
active reservations made at that moment against any other allocations.
This is because alloc_hugetlb_folio_reserve() checks h->resv_huge_pages
before proceeding with the allocation.
Therefore, to address this issue, we just need to make a reservation (by
calling hugetlb_reserve_pages()) before we try to allocate the folio.
This will also ensure that proper region/subpool accounting is done
associated with our allocation.

Patch series "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation", v4.
There are cases when we try to pin a folio but discover that it has not
been faulted-in. So, we try to allocate it in memfd_alloc_folio() but the
allocation request may not succeed if there are no active reservations in
the system at that instant.
Therefore, making a reservation (by calling hugetlb_reserve_pages())
associated with the allocation will ensure that our request would not fail
due to lack of reservations. This will also ensure that proper
region/subpool accounting is done with our allocation.
This patch (of 3):
Currently, hugetlb_reserve_pages() returns a bool to indicate whether the
reservation map update for the range [from, to] was successful or not.
This is not sufficient for the case where the caller needs to determine
how many entries were updated for the range.
Therefore, have hugetlb_reserve_pages() return the number of entries
updated in the reservation map associated with the range [from, to].
Also, update the callers of hugetlb_reserve_pages() to handle the new
return value.

With CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=n, vmlinux and all modules unnecessarily
contain the symbols __start_alloc_tags and __stop_alloc_tags, which define
an empty range. In the case of modules, the presence of these symbols
also forces the linker to create an empty .codetag.alloc_tags section.
Update codetag.lds.h to make the data conditional on
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING.

The core kernel code is currently very inconsistent in its use of
vm_flags_t vs. unsigned long. This prevents us from changing the type of
vm_flags_t in the future and is simply not correct, so correct this.
While this results in rather a lot of churn, it is a critical
pre-requisite for a future planned change to VMA flag type.
Additionally, update VMA userland tests to account for the changes.
To make review easier and to break things into smaller parts, driver and
architecture-specific changes is left for a subsequent commit.
The code has been adjusted to cascade the changes across all calling code
as far as is needed.
We will adjust architecture-specific and driver code in a subsequent patch.
Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.

Patch series "use vm_flags_t consistently".
The VMA flags field vma->vm_flags is of type vm_flags_t. Right now this
is exactly equivalent to unsigned long, but it should not be assumed to
be.
Much code that references vma->vm_flags already correctly uses vm_flags_t,
but a fairly large chunk of code simply uses unsigned long and assumes
that the two are equivalent.
This series corrects that and has us use vm_flags_t consistently.
This series is motivated by the desire to, in a future series, adjust
vm_flags_t to be a u64 regardless of whether the kernel is 32-bit or
64-bit in order to deal with the VMA flag exhaustion issue and avoid all
the various problems that arise from it (being unable to use certain
features in 32-bit, being unable to add new flags except for 64-bit, etc.)
This is therefore a critical first step towards that goal. At any rate,
using the correct type is of value regardless.
We additionally take the opportunity to refer to VMA flags as vm_flags
where possible to make clear what we're referring to.
Overall, this series does not introduce any functional change.
This patch (of 3):
We abstract the type of the VMA flags to vm_flags_t, however in may places
it is simply assumed this is unsigned long, which is simply incorrect.
At the moment this is simply an incongruity, however in future we plan to
change this type and therefore this change is a critical requirement for
doing so.
Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.

This reverts commit a00ce85af2a1be494d3b0c9457e8e81cdcce2a89.
Commit a00ce85af2a1 ("mm: make alloc_demote_folio externally invokable for
migration") was made to let DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD} call the function.
But a previous commit made DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD} call
alloc_migration_target() instead. Hence there are no more callers of the
function outside of vmscan.c. Revert the commit to make the function
static again.

Patch series "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for
DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD}".
DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD} implementation resembles that for demotion, and
hence the behavior is also similar to that. But, since those are not only
for demotion but general migrations, it would be better to match with that
for move_pages() system call. Make the implementation and the behavior
more similar to move_pages() by not setting migration fallback nodes, and
using alloc_migration_target() instead of alloc_migrate_folio().
alloc_migrate_folio() was renamed from alloc_demote_folio() and been
non-static function, to let DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD} call it. As
alloc_migration_target() is called instead, the renaming and de-static
changes are no more required but could only make future code readers be
confused. Revert the changes, too.
This patch (of 3):

demote_folio_list(). Because those are not only for demotion but general
folio migrations, it makes more sense to behave similarly to move_pages()
system call. Make the behavior more similar to move_pages(), by using
alloc_migration_target() instead of alloc_migrate_folio(), without

Shmem already supports mTHP, and shmem_allowable_huge_orders() will return
the huge orders allowed by shmem. However, there is no check against the
'orders' parameter passed by __thp_vma_allowable_orders(), which can lead
to incorrect check results for __thp_vma_allowable_orders().
For example, when a user wants to check if shmem supports PMD-sized THP by
thp_vma_allowable_order(), if shmem only enables 64K mTHP, the current
logic would cause thp_vma_allowable_order() to return true, implying that
shmem allows PMD-sized THP allocation, which it actually does not.
I don't think this will cause a significant impact on users, and this will
only have some impact on the shmem THP collapse. That is to say, even
though the shmem sysfs setting does not enable the PMD-sized THP, the
thp_vma_allowable_order() still indicates that shmem allows PMD-sized
collapse, meaning it might successfully collapse into THP, or it might not
(for example, thp_vma_suitable_order() check failed in the collapse
process). However, this still does not align with the shmem sysfs
configuration, fix it.

Currently gup_longterm assumes that filesystems support fallocate() and
uses that to allocate space in files, however this is an optional feature
and is in particular not implemented by NFSv3 which is commonly used in CI
systems leading to spurious failures. Check for lack of support and
report a skip instead for that case.

In commit 3a75ccba047b ("mm: simplify vma merge structure and expand
comments") we introduced the vmg->target field to make the merging of
existing VMAs simpler - clarifying precisely which VMA would eventually
become the merged VMA once the merge operation was complete.
New VMA merging did not get quite the same treatment, retaining the rather
confusing convention of storing the target VMA in vmg->middle.
This patch corrects this state of affairs, utilising vmg->target for this
purpose for both vma_merge_new_range() and also for vma_expand().
We retain the WARN_ON for vmg->middle being specified in
vma_merge_new_range() as doing so would make no sense, but add an
additional debug assert for setting vmg->target.
This patch additionally updates VMA userland testing to account for this
change.

Marking PUDs that map a "normal" refcounted folios as special is against
our rules documented for vm_normal_page(). normal (refcounted) folios
shall never have the page table mapping marked as special.
Fortunately, there are not that many pud_special() check that can be
mislead and are right now rather harmless: e.g., none so far bases
decisions whether to grab a folio reference on that decision.
Well, and GUP-fast will fallback to GUP-slow. All in all, so far no big
implications as it seems.
Getting this right will get more important as we introduce
folio_normal_page_pud() and start using it in more place where we
currently special-case based on other VMA flags.
Fix it just like we fixed vmf_insert_folio_pmd().

Patch series "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and
vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes", v3.
While working on improving vm_normal_page() and friends, I stumbled over
this issues: refcounted "normal" folios must not be marked using
pmd_special() / pud_special(). Otherwise, we're effectively telling the
system that these folios are no "normal", violating the rules we
documented for vm_normal_page().
Fortunately, there are not many pmd_special()/pud_special() users yet. So
far there doesn't seem to be serious damage.
Tested using the ndctl tests ("ndctl:dax" suite).
This patch (of 3):
We set up the cache mode but ... don't forward the updated pgprot to
insert_pfn_pud().
Only a problem on x86-64 PAT when mapping PFNs using PUDs that require a
special cachemode.
Fix it by using the proper pgprot where the cachemode was setup.
It is unclear in which configurations we would get the cachemode wrong:
through vfio seems possible. Getting cachemodes wrong is usually ...
bad. As the fix is easy, let's backport it to stable.
Identified by code inspection.

When running the khugepaged selftest for shmem (./khugepaged all:shmem), I
encountered the following test failures:
: Run test: collapse_full (khugepaged:shmem)
: Collapse multiple fully populated PTE table.... Fail
: ...
: Run test: collapse_single_pte_entry (khugepaged:shmem)
: Collapse PTE table with single PTE entry present.... Fail
: ...
: Run test: collapse_full_of_compound (khugepaged:shmem)
: Allocate huge page... OK
: Split huge page leaving single PTE page table full of compound pages... OK
: Collapse PTE table full of compound pages.... Fail
The reason for the failure is that it will set MADV_NOHUGEPAGE to prevent
khugepaged from continuing to scan shmem VMA after khugepaged finishes
scanning in the wait_for_scan() function. Moreover, shmem requires a
refault to establish PMD mappings.
However, after commit 2b0f922323cc ("mm: don't install PMD mappings when
THPs are disabled by the hw/process/vma"), PMD mappings are prevented if
the VMA is set with MADV_NOHUGEPAGE flag, so shmem cannot establish PMD
mappings during refault.
One way to fix this issue is to move the MADV_NOHUGEPAGE setting after the
shmem refault. After shmem refault and check huge, the test case will
unmap the shmem immediately. So it seems unnecessary to set the
MADV_NOHUGEPAGE.
Then we can simply drop the MADV_NOHUGEPAGE setting, and all khugepaged
test cases passed.

MADV_FREE is another option, besides MADV_DONTNEED, for dynamic memory
freeing in user-space native or Java heap memory management. For example,
jemalloc can be configured to use MADV_FREE, and recent versions of the
Android Java heap have also increasingly adopted MADV_FREE. Supporting
per-VMA locking for MADV_FREE thus appears increasingly necessary.
We have replaced walk_page_range() with walk_page_range_vma(). Along with
the proposed madvise_lock_mode by Lorenzo, the necessary infrastructure is
now in place to begin exploring per-VMA locking support for MADV_FREE and
potentially other madvise using walk_page_range_vma().
This patch adds support for the PGWALK_VMA_RDLOCK walk_lock mode in
walk_page_range_vma(), and leverages madvise_lock_mode from madv_behavior
to select the appropriate walk_lock—either mmap_lock or per-VMA
lock—based on the context.
Because we now dynamically update the walk_ops->walk_lock field, we must
ensure this is thread-safe. The madvise_free_walk_ops is now defined as a
stack variable instead of a global constant.

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.

Patch series "Optimize mremap() for large folios", v4.
Currently move_ptes() iterates through ptes one by one. If the underlying
folio mapped by the ptes is large, we can process those ptes in a batch
using folio_pte_batch(), thus clearing and setting the PTEs in one go.
For arm64 specifically, this results in a 16x reduction in the number of
ptep_get() calls (since on a contig block, ptep_get() on arm64 will
iterate through all 16 entries to collect a/d bits), and we also elide
extra TLBIs through get_and_clear_full_ptes, replacing ptep_get_and_clear.
Mapping 1M of memory with 64K folios, memsetting it, remapping it to src +
1M, and munmapping it 10,000 times, the average execution time reduces
from 1.9 to 1.2 seconds, giving a 37% performance optimization, on Apple
M3 (arm64). No regression is observed for small folios.
Test program for reference:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
#define SIZE (1UL << 20) // 1M
int main(void) {
void *new_addr, *addr;
for (int i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) {
addr = mmap((void *)(1UL << 30), SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
if (addr == MAP_FAILED) {
perror("mmap");
return 1;
}
memset(addr, 0xAA, SIZE);
new_addr = mremap(addr, SIZE, SIZE, MREMAP_MAYMOVE | MREMAP_FIXED, addr + SIZE);
if (new_addr != (addr + SIZE)) {
perror("mremap");
return 1;
}

In mt_perf_to_adistance(), the calculation of abstract distance (adist)
involves multiplying several int values including
MEMTIER_ADISTANCE_DRAM.
*adist = MEMTIER_ADISTANCE_DRAM *
(perf->read_latency + perf->write_latency) /
(default_dram_perf.read_latency + default_dram_perf.write_latency) *
(default_dram_perf.read_bandwidth + default_dram_perf.write_bandwidth) /
(perf->read_bandwidth + perf->write_bandwidth);
Since these values can be large, the multiplication may exceed the
maximum value of an int (INT_MAX) and overflow (Our platform did),
leading to an incorrect adist.
User-visible impact:
The memory tiering subsystem will misinterpret slow memory (like CXL)
as faster than DRAM, causing inappropriate demotion of pages from
CXL (slow memory) to DRAM (fast memory).
For example, we will see the following demotion chains from the dmesg, where
Node0,1 are DRAM, and Node2,3 are CXL node:
Demotion targets for Node 0: null
Demotion targets for Node 1: null
Demotion targets for Node 2: preferred: 0-1, fallback: 0-1
Demotion targets for Node 3: preferred: 0-1, fallback: 0-1
Change MEMTIER_ADISTANCE_DRAM to be a long constant by writing it with
the 'L' suffix. This prevents the overflow because the multiplication
will then be done in the long type which has a larger range.

When reading /proc/allocinfo, for each read syscall, seq_file would invoke
start/stop callbacks. In start callback, a memory is alloced to store
iterator and the iterator would start from beginning to walk linearly to
current read position.
seq_file read() takes at most 4096 bytes, even if read with a larger user
space buffer, meaning read out all of /proc/allocinfo, tens of read
syscalls are needed. For example, a 306036 bytes allocinfo files need 76
reads:
$ sudo cat /proc/allocinfo | wc
3964 16678 306036
$ sudo strace -T -e read cat /proc/allocinfo
...
read(3, " 4096 1 arch/x86/k"..., 131072) = 4063 <0.000062>
...
read(3, " 0 0 sound/core"..., 131072) = 4021 <0.000150>
...
For those n=3964 lines, each read takes about m=3964/76=52 lines,
since iterator restart from beginning for each read(),
it would move forward
m steps on 1st read
2*m steps on 2nd read
3*m steps on 3rd read
...
n steps on last read
As read() along, those linear seek steps make read() calls slower and
slower. Adding those up, codetag iterator moves about O(n*n/m) steps,
making data structure traversal take significant part of the whole
reading. Profiling when stress reading /proc/allocinfo confirms it:
vfs_read(99.959% 1677299/1677995)
proc_reg_read_iter(99.856% 1674881/1677299)
seq_read_iter(99.959% 1674191/1674881)

srso_return_thunk(1.264% 16011/1266755)
__kmalloc_cache_noprof(0.102% 1296/1266755)
...
allocinfo_show(21.287% 356378/1674191)
allocinfo_next(1.530% 25621/1674191)
codetag_next_ct() takes major part.
A private data alloced at open() time can be used to carry iterator alive
across read() calls, and avoid the memory allocation and iterator reset
for each read(). This way, only O(1) memory allocation and O(n) steps
iterating, and `time` shows performance improvement from ~7ms to ~4ms.
Profiling with the change:
vfs_read(99.865% 1581073/1583214)
proc_reg_read_iter(99.485% 1572934/1581073)
seq_read_iter(99.846% 1570519/1572934)
allocinfo_show(87.428% 1373074/1570519)
seq_buf_printf(83.695% 1149196/1373074)
seq_buf_putc(1.917% 26321/1373074)

allocinfo_next(6.275% 98543/1570519)

Codetag iterator use <id,address> pair to guarantee the validness. But
both id and address can be reused, there is theoretical possibility when
module inserted right after another module removed, kmalloc returns an
address same as the address kfree by previous module and IDR key reuses
the key recently removed.
Add a sequence number to codetag_module and code_iterator, the sequence
number is strickly incremented whenever a module is loaded. An iterator
is valid if and only if its sequence number match codetag_module's.

In the current implementation of longterm pin_user_pages(), we invoke
collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios(). This function iterates through the
list to check whether each folio belongs to the "longterm_unpinnabled"
category. The folios in this list essentially correspond to a contiguous
region of userspace addresses, with each folio representing a physical
address in increments of PAGESIZE.
If this userspace address range is mapped with large folio, we can
optimize the performance of function collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios()
by reducing the using of READ_ONCE() invoked in
pofs_get_folio()->page_folio()->_compound_head().
Also, we can simplify the logic of collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios().
Instead of comparing with prev_folio after calling pofs_get_folio(), we
can check whether the next page is within the same folio.
The performance test results, based on v6.15, obtained through the
gup_test tool from the kernel source tree are as follows. We achieve an
improvement of over 66% for large folio with pagesize=2M. For small
folio, we have only observed a very slight degradation in performance.

walk_page_range_novma() is rather confusing - it supports two modes, one
used often, the other used only for debugging.
The first mode is the common case of traversal of kernel page tables,
which is what nearly all callers use this for.
Secondly it provides an unusual debugging interface that allows for the
traversal of page tables in a userland range of memory even for that
memory which is not described by a VMA.
It is far from certain that such page tables should even exist, but
perhaps this is precisely why it is useful as a debugging mechanism.
As a result, this is utilised by ptdump only. Historically, things were
reversed - ptdump was the only user, and other parts of the kernel evolved
to use the kernel page table walking here.
Since we have some complicated and confusing locking rules for the novma
case, it makes sense to separate the two usages into their own functions.
Doing this also provide self-documentation as to the intent of the caller
- are they doing something rather unusual or are they simply doing a
standard kernel page table walk?
We therefore establish two separate functions - walk_page_range_debug()
for this single usage, and walk_kernel_page_table_range() for general
kernel page table walking.
The walk_page_range_debug() function is currently used to traverse both
userland and kernel mappings, so we maintain this and in the case of
kernel mappings being traversed, we have walk_page_range_debug() invoke
walk_kernel_page_table_range() internally.
We additionally make walk_page_range_debug() internal to mm.

The various test ioctl handlers use arrays of 64 integers that add up to
1KiB of stack data, which in turn leads to exceeding the warning limit in
some configurations:
lib/test_hmm.c:935:12: error: stack frame size (1408) exceeds limit (1280)
in 'dmirror_migrate_to_device' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
Use half the size for these arrays, in order to stay under the warning
limits. The code can already deal with arbitrary lengths, but this may be
a little less efficient.

Change the readahead config so that if it is being requested for an
executable mapping, do a synchronous read into a set of folios with an
arch-specified order and in a naturally aligned manner. We no longer
center the read on the faulting page but simply align it down to the
previous natural boundary. Additionally, we don't bother with an
asynchronous part.
On arm64 if memory is physically contiguous and naturally aligned to the
"contpte" size, we can use contpte mappings, which improves utilization of
the TLB. When paired with the "multi-size THP" feature, this works well
to reduce dTLB pressure. However iTLB pressure is still high due to
executable mappings having a low likelihood of being in the required folio
size and mapping alignment, even when the filesystem supports readahead
into large folios (e.g. XFS).
The reason for the low likelihood is that the current readahead algorithm
starts with an order-0 folio and increases the folio order by 2 every time
the readahead mark is hit. But most executable memory tends to be
accessed randomly and so the readahead mark is rarely hit and most
executable folios remain order-0.
So let's special-case the read(ahead) logic for executable mappings. The
trade-off is performance improvement (due to more efficient storage of the
translations in iTLB) vs potential for making reclaim more difficult (due
to the folios being larger so if a part of the folio is hot the whole
thing is considered hot). But executable memory is a small portion of the
overall system memory so I doubt this will even register from a reclaim
perspective.
I've chosen 64K folio size for arm64 which benefits both the 4K and 16K
base page size configs. Crucially the same amount of data is still read
(usually 128K) so I'm not expecting any read amplification issues. I
don't anticipate any write amplification because text is always RO.
Note that the text region of an ELF file could be populated into the page
cache for other reasons than taking a fault in a mmapped area. The most
common case is due to the loader read()ing the header which can be shared
with the beginning of text. So some text will still remain in small
folios, but this simple, best effort change provides good performance
improvements as is.
Confine this special-case approach to the bounds of the VMA. This
prevents wasting memory for any padding that might exist in the file
between sections. Previously the padding would have been contained in
order-0 folios and would be easy to reclaim. But now it would be part of
a larger folio so more difficult to reclaim. Solve this by simply not
reading it into memory in the first place.
Benchmarking
============
The below shows pgbench and redis benchmarks on Graviton3 arm64 system.
First, confirmation that this patch causes more text to be contained in
64K folios:
+----------------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| File-backed folios by| system boot | pgbench | redis |
| size as percentage of+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| all mapped text mem |before | after |before | after |before | after |
+======================+=======+=======+=======+=======+=======+=======+
| base-page-4kB | 78% | 30% | 78% | 11% | 73% | 14% |
| thp-aligned-8kB | 1% | 0% | 0% | 0% | 1% | 0% |
| thp-aligned-16kB | 17% | 4% | 17% | 3% | 20% | 4% |
| thp-aligned-32kB | 1% | 1% | 1% | 2% | 1% | 1% |
| thp-aligned-64kB | 3% | 63% | 3% | 81% | 4% | 77% |
| thp-aligned-128kB | 0% | 1% | 1% | 1% | 1% | 2% |
| thp-unaligned-64kB | 0% | 0% | 0% | 1% | 0% | 1% |
| thp-unaligned-128kB | 0% | 1% | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% |
| thp-partial | 0% | 0% | 0% | 1% | 0% | 1% |
+----------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| cont-aligned-64kB | 4% | 65% | 4% | 83% | 6% | 79% |
+----------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
The above shows that for both workloads (each isolated with cgroups) as
well as the general system state after boot, the amount of text backed by
4K and 16K folios reduces and the amount backed by 64K folios increases
significantly. And the amount of text that is contpte-mapped
significantly increases (see last row).
And this is reflected in performance improvement. "(I)" indicates a
statistically significant improvement. Note TPS and Reqs/sec are rates so
bigger is better, ms is time so smaller is better:

from the folio who's readahead marker was hit. But due to the way we have
to round to non-natural boundaries sometimes, this first folio in the
readahead block is often smaller than the preferred order for that
request. This means that for cases where the initial sync readahead is
poorly aligned, the folio order will ramp up much more slowly.
So instead, let's store the order in struct file_ra_state so we are not
affected by any required alignment. We previously made enough room in the
struct for a 16 order field. This should be plenty big enough since we
are limited to MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER anyway, which is certainly never larger
than ~20.
Since we now pass order in struct file_ra_state, page_cache_ra_order() no
longer needs it's new_order parameter, so let's remove that.
Worked example:
Here we are touching pages 17-256 sequentially just as we did in the
previous commit, but now that we are remembering the preferred order
explicitly, we no longer have the slow ramp up problem. Note specifically
that we no longer have 2 rounds (2x ~128K) of order-2 folios:
