mm: huge_memory: batch tlb flush when splitting a pte-mapped THP
I can observe an obvious tlb flush hotspot when splitting a pte-mapped THP
on my ARM64 server, and the distribution of this hotspot is as follows:
- 16.85% split_huge_page_to_list
+ 7.80% down_write
- 7.49% try_to_migrate
- 7.48% rmap_walk_anon
7.23% ptep_clear_flush
+ 1.52% __split_huge_page
The reason is that the split_huge_page_to_list() will build migration
entries for each subpage of a pte-mapped Anon THP by try_to_migrate(), or
unmap for file THP, and it will clear and tlb flush for each subpage's
pte. Moreover, the split_huge_page_to_list() will set TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD
flag to ensure the THP is already a pte-mapped THP before splitting it to
some normal pages.
Actually, there is no need to flush tlb for each subpage immediately,
instead we can batch tlb flush for the pte-mapped THP to improve the
performance.
After this patch, we can see the batch tlb flush can improve the latency
obviously when running thpscale.
