Multi-size THP enables performance improvements by allocating large,
pte-mapped folios for anonymous memory. However I've observed that on an
arm64 system running a parallel workload (e.g. kernel compilation) across
many cores, under high memory pressure, the speed regresses. This is due
to bottlenecking on the increased number of TLBIs added due to all the
extra folio splitting when the large folios are swapped out.
Therefore, solve this regression by adding support for swapping out mTHP
without needing to split the folio, just like is already done for
PMD-sized THP. This change only applies when CONFIG_THP_SWAP is enabled,
and when the swap backing store is a non-rotating block device. These are
the same constraints as for the existing PMD-sized THP swap-out support.
Note that no attempt is made to swap-in (m)THP here - this is still done
page-by-page, like for PMD-sized THP. But swapping-out mTHP is a
prerequisite for swapping-in mTHP.
The main change here is to improve the swap entry allocator so that it can
allocate any power-of-2 number of contiguous entries between [1, (1 <<
PMD_ORDER)]. This is done by allocating a cluster for each distinct order
and allocating sequentially from it until the cluster is full. This
ensures that we don't need to search the map and we get no fragmentation
due to alignment padding for different orders in the cluster. If there is
no current cluster for a given order, we attempt to allocate a free
cluster from the list. If there are no free clusters, we fail the
allocation and the caller can fall back to splitting the folio and
allocates individual entries (as per existing PMD-sized THP fallback).
The per-order current clusters are maintained per-cpu using the existing
infrastructure. This is done to avoid interleving pages from different
tasks, which would prevent IO being batched. This is already done for the
order-0 allocations so we follow the same pattern.
As is done for order-0 per-cpu clusters, the scanner now can steal order-0
entries from any per-cpu-per-order reserved cluster. This ensures that
when the swap file is getting full, space doesn't get tied up in the
per-cpu reserves.
This change only modifies swap to be able to accept any order mTHP. It
doesn't change the callers to elide doing the actual split. That will be
done in separate changes.

We are about to allow swap storage of any mTHP size. To prepare for that,
let's change get_swap_pages() to take a folio order parameter instead of
nr_pages. This makes the interface self-documenting; a power-of-2 number
of pages must be provided. We will also need the order internally so this
simplifies accessing it.

struct percpu_cluster stores the index of cpu's current cluster and the
offset of the next entry that will be allocated for the cpu. These two
pieces of information are redundant because the cluster index is just
(offset / SWAPFILE_CLUSTER). The only reason for explicitly keeping the
cluster index is because the structure used for it also has a flag to
indicate "no cluster". However this data structure also contains a spin
lock, which is never used in this context, as a side effect the code
copies the spinlock_t structure, which is questionable coding practice in
my view.
So let's clean this up and store only the next offset, and use a sentinal
value (SWAP_NEXT_INVALID) to indicate "no cluster". SWAP_NEXT_INVALID is
chosen to be 0, because 0 will never be seen legitimately; The first page
in the swap file is the swap header, which is always marked bad to prevent
it from being allocated as an entry. This also prevents the cluster to
which it belongs being marked free, so it will never appear on the free
list.
This change saves 16 bytes per cpu. And given we are shortly going to
extend this mechanism to be per-cpu-AND-per-order, we will end up saving
16 * 9 = 144 bytes per cpu, which adds up if you have 256 cpus in the
system.

Now that we no longer have a convenient flag in the cluster to determine
if a folio is large, free_swap_and_cache() will take a reference and lock
a large folio much more often, which could lead to contention and (e.g.)
failure to split large folios, etc.
Let's solve that problem by batch freeing swap and cache with a new
function, free_swap_and_cache_nr(), to free a contiguous range of swap
entries together. This allows us to first drop a reference to each swap
slot before we try to release the cache folio. This means we only try to
release the folio once, only taking the reference and lock once - much
better than the previous 512 times for the 2M THP case.
Contiguous swap entries are gathered in zap_pte_range() and
madvise_free_pte_range() in a similar way to how present ptes are already
gathered in zap_pte_range().
While we are at it, let's simplify by converting the return type of both
functions to void. The return value was used only by zap_pte_range() to
print a bad pte, and was ignored by everyone else, so the extra reporting
wasn't exactly guaranteed. We will still get the warning with most of the
information from get_swap_device(). With the batch version, we wouldn't
know which pte was bad anyway so could print the wrong one.

Patch series "Swap-out mTHP without splitting", v7.
This series adds support for swapping out multi-size THP (mTHP) without
needing to first split the large folio via
split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(). It closely follows the approach
already used to swap-out PMD-sized THP.
There are a couple of reasons for swapping out mTHP without splitting:
- Performance: It is expensive to split a large folio and under
extreme memory pressure some workloads regressed performance when
using 64K mTHP vs 4K small folios because of this extra cost in the
swap-out path. This series not only eliminates the regression but
makes it faster to swap out 64K mTHP vs 4K small folios.
- Memory fragmentation avoidance: If we can avoid splitting a large
folio memory is less likely to become fragmented, making it easier to
re-allocate a large folio in future.
- Performance: Enables a separate series [7] to swap-in whole mTHPs,
which means we won't lose the TLB-efficiency benefits of mTHP once the
memory has been through a swap cycle.
I've done what I thought was the smallest change possible, and as a
result, this approach is only employed when the swap is backed by a
non-rotating block device (just as PMD-sized THP is supported today).
Discussion against the RFC concluded that this is sufficient.
Performance Testing
===================
I've run some swap performance tests on Ampere Altra VM (arm64) with 8
CPUs. The VM is set up with a 35G block ram device as the swap device and
the test is run from inside a memcg limited to 40G memory. I've then run
`usemem` from vm-scalability with 70 processes, each allocating and
writing 1G of memory. I've repeated everything 6 times and taken the mean
performance improvement relative to 4K page baseline:
| alloc size | baseline | + this series |
| | mm-unstable (~v6.9-rc1) | |
|:-----------|------------------------:|------------------------:|
| 4K Page | 0.0% | 1.3% |
| 64K THP | -13.6% | 46.3% |
| 2M THP | 91.4% | 89.6% |
So with this change, the 64K swap performance goes from a 14% regression to a
46% improvement. While 2M shows a small regression I'm confident that this is
just noise.

This patch (of 7):
As preparation for supporting small-sized THP in the swap-out path,
without first needing to split to order-0, Remove the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE,
which, when present, always implies PMD-sized THP, which is the same as
the cluster size.
The only use of the flag was to determine whether a swap entry refers to a
single page or a PMD-sized THP in swap_page_trans_huge_swapped(). Instead
of relying on the flag, we now pass in order, which originates from the
folio's order. This allows the logic to work for folios of any order.
The one snag is that one of the swap_page_trans_huge_swapped() call sites
does not have the folio. But it was only being called there to shortcut a
call __try_to_reclaim_swap() in some cases. __try_to_reclaim_swap() gets
the folio and (via some other functions) calls
swap_page_trans_huge_swapped(). So I've removed the problematic call site
and believe the new logic should be functionally equivalent.
That said, removing the fast path means that we will take a reference and
trylock a large folio much more often, which we would like to avoid. The
next patch will solve this.
Removing CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE also means we can remove split_swap_cluster()
which used to be called during folio splitting, since
split_swap_cluster()'s only job was to remove the flag.

Commit 44042b4498 ("mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored
on the per-cpu lists") extends the PCP allocator to store THP pages, and
it determines whether to cache THP pages in PCP by comparing with
pageblock_order. But the pageblock_order is not always equal to THP
order. It might also be MAX_PAGE_ORDER, which could prevent PCP from
caching THP pages.
Therefore, using HPAGE_PMD_ORDER instead to determine the need for caching
THP for PCP will fix this issue

Now the anonymous page allocation already supports multi-size THP (mTHP),
but the numa balancing still prohibits mTHP migration even though it is an
exclusive mapping, which is unreasonable.
Allow scanning mTHP:
Commit 859d4adc34 ("mm: numa: do not trap faults on shared data section
pages") skips shared CoW pages' NUMA page migration to avoid shared data
segment migration. In addition, commit 80d47f5de5 ("mm: don't try to
NUMA-migrate COW pages that have other uses") change to use page_count()
to avoid GUP pages migration, that will also skip the mTHP numa scanning.
Theoretically, we can use folio_maybe_dma_pinned() to detect the GUP
issue, although there is still a GUP race, the issue seems to have been
resolved by commit 80d47f5de5. Meanwhile, use the folio_likely_mapped_shared()
to skip shared CoW pages though this is not a precise sharers count. To
check if the folio is shared, ideally we want to make sure every page is
mapped to the same process, but doing that seems expensive and using
the estimated mapcount seems can work when running autonuma benchmark.
Allow migrating mTHP:
As mentioned in the previous thread[1], large folios (including THP) are
more susceptible to false sharing issues among threads than 4K base page,
leading to pages ping-pong back and forth during numa balancing, which is
currently not easy to resolve. Therefore, as a start to support mTHP numa
balancing, we can follow the PMD mapped THP's strategy, that means we can
reuse the 2-stage filter in should_numa_migrate_memory() to check if the
mTHP is being heavily contended among threads (through checking the CPU id
and pid of the last access) to avoid false sharing at some degree. Thus,
we can restore all PTE maps upon the first hint page fault of a large folio
to follow the PMD mapped THP's strategy. In the future, we can continue to
optimize the NUMA balancing algorithm to avoid the false sharing issue with
large folios as much as possible.

Fallback rates surpassing 90% have been observed on phones utilizing 64KiB
CONT-PTE mTHP. In these scenarios, when one out of every 16 PTEs fails to
allocate large folios, the remaining 15 PTEs fallback. Consequently,
invoking vma_thp_gfp_mask seems redundant in such cases. Furthermore,
abstaining from its use can also contribute to improved code readability.

Implements the "init_mlocked_on_free" boot option. When this boot option
is enabled, any mlock'ed pages are zeroed on free. If
the pages are munlock'ed beforehand, no initialization takes place.
This boot option is meant to combat the performance hit of
"init_on_free" as reported in commit 6471384af2 ("mm: security:
introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options"). With
"init_mlocked_on_free=1" only relevant data is freed while everything
else is left untouched by the kernel. Correspondingly, this patch
introduces no performance hit for unmapping non-mlock'ed memory. The
unmapping overhead for purely mlocked memory was measured to be
approximately 13%. Realistically, most systems mlock only a fraction of
the total memory so the real-world system overhead should be close to
zero.
Optimally, userspace programs clear any key material or other
confidential memory before exit and munlock the according memory
regions. If a program crashes, userspace key managers fail to do this
job. Accordingly, no munlock operations are performed so the data is
caught and zeroed by the kernel. Should the program not crash, all
memory will ideally be munlocked so no overhead is caused.
CONFIG_INIT_MLOCKED_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON can be set to enable
"init_mlocked_on_free" by default.

When memory is being placed, mmap() will take care to respect the guard
gaps of certain types of memory (VM_SHADOWSTACK, VM_GROWSUP and
VM_GROWSDOWN). In order to ensure guard gaps between mappings, mmap()
needs to consider two things:
1. That the new mapping isn't placed in an any existing mappings guard
gaps.
2. That the new mapping isn't placed such that any existing mappings
are not in *its* guard gaps.
The longstanding behavior of mmap() is to ensure 1, but not take any care
around 2. So for example, if there is a PAGE_SIZE free area, and a mmap()
with a PAGE_SIZE size, and a type that has a guard gap is being placed,
mmap() may place the shadow stack in the PAGE_SIZE free area. Then the
mapping that is supposed to have a guard gap will not have a gap to the
adjacent VMA.
For MAP_GROWSDOWN/VM_GROWSDOWN and MAP_GROWSUP/VM_GROWSUP this has not
been a problem in practice because applications place these kinds of
mappings very early, when there is not many mappings to find a space
between. But for shadow stacks, they may be placed throughout the
lifetime of the application.
Use the start_gap field to find a space that includes the guard gap for
the new mapping. Take care to not interfere with the alignment.

Future changes will need to add a new member to struct
vm_unmapped_area_info. This would cause trouble for any call site that
doesn't initialize the struct. Currently every caller sets each member
manually, so if new ones are added they will be uninitialized and the core
code parsing the struct will see garbage in the new member.
It could be possible to initialize the new member manually to 0 at each
call site. This and a couple other options were discussed. Having some
struct vm_unmapped_area_info instances not zero initialized will put those
sites at risk of feeding garbage into vm_unmapped_area(), if the
convention is to zero initialize the struct and any new field addition
missed a call site that initializes each field manually. So it is useful
to do things similar across the kernel.
The consensus (see links) was that in general the best way to accomplish
taking into account both code cleanliness and minimizing the chance of
introducing bugs, was to do C99 static initialization. As in: struct
vm_unmapped_area_info info = {};
With this method of initialization, the whole struct will be zero
initialized, and any statements setting fields to zero will be unneeded.
The change should not leave cleanup at the call sides.
While iterating though the possible solutions a few archs kindly acked
other variations that still zero initialized the struct. These sites have
been modified in previous changes using the pattern acked by the
respective arch.
So to be reduce the chance of bugs via uninitialized fields, perform a
tree wide change using the consensus for the best general way to do this
change. Use C99 static initializing to zero the struct and remove and
statements that simply set members to zero.

Future changes will call this from mmap.c in the do_mmap() path to allow
shadow stacks to be placed with consideration taken for the start guard
gap. Shadow stack memory is always private and anonymous and so special
guard gap logic is not needed in a lot of caseis, but it can be mapped by
THP, so needs to be handled.

When memory is being placed, mmap() will take care to respect the guard
gaps of certain types of memory (VM_SHADOWSTACK, VM_GROWSUP and
VM_GROWSDOWN). In order to ensure guard gaps between mappings, mmap()
needs to consider two things:
1. That the new mapping isn't placed in an any existing mappings guard
gaps.
2. That the new mapping isn't placed such that any existing mappings
are not in *its* guard gaps.
The longstanding behavior of mmap() is to ensure 1, but not take any care
around 2. So for example, if there is a PAGE_SIZE free area, and a mmap()
with a PAGE_SIZE size, and a type that has a guard gap is being placed,
mmap() may place the shadow stack in the PAGE_SIZE free area. Then the
mapping that is supposed to have a guard gap will not have a gap to the
adjacent VMA.
In order to take the start gap into account, the maple tree search needs
to know the size of start gap the new mapping will need. The call chain
from do_mmap() to the actual maple tree search looks like this:
do_mmap(size, vm_flags, map_flags, ..)
mm/mmap.c:get_unmapped_area(size, map_flags, ...)
arch_get_unmapped_area(size, map_flags, ...)
vm_unmapped_area(struct vm_unmapped_area_info)
One option would be to add another MAP_ flag to mean a one page start gap
(as is for shadow stack), but this consumes a flag unnecessarily. Another
option could be to simply increase the size passed in do_mmap() by the
start gap size, and adjust after the fact, but this will interfere with
the alignment requirements passed in struct vm_unmapped_area_info, and
unknown to mmap.c. Instead, introduce variants of
arch_get_unmapped_area/_topdown() that take vm_flags. In future changes,
these variants can be used in mmap.c:get_unmapped_area() to allow the
vm_flags to be passed through to vm_unmapped_area(), while preserving the
normal arch_get_unmapped_area/_topdown() for the existing callers.

The mm_struct contains a function pointer *get_unmapped_area(), which is
set to either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown()
during the initialization of the mm.
Since the function pointer only ever points to two functions that are
named the same across all arch's, a function pointer is not really
required. In addition future changes will want to add versions of the
functions that take additional arguments. So to save a pointers worth of
bytes in mm_struct, and prevent adding additional function pointers to
mm_struct in future changes, remove it and keep the information about
which get_unmapped_area() to use in a flag.
Add the new flag to MMF_INIT_MASK so it doesn't get clobbered on fork by
mmf_init_flags(). Most MM flags get clobbered on fork. In the
pre-existing behavior mm->get_unmapped_area() would get copied to the new
mm in dup_mm(), so not clobbering the flag preserves the existing behavior
around inheriting the topdown-ness.
Introduce a helper, mm_get_unmapped_area(), to easily convert code that
refers to the old function pointer to instead select and call either
arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() based on the
flag. Then drop the mm->get_unmapped_area() function pointer. Leave the
get_unmapped_area() pointer in struct file_operations alone. The main
purpose of this change is to reorganize in preparation for future changes,
but it also converts the calls of mm->get_unmapped_area() from indirect
branches into a direct ones.
The stress-ng bigheap benchmark calls realloc a lot, which calls through
get_unmapped_area() in the kernel. On x86, the change yielded a ~1%
improvement there on a retpoline config.
In testing a few x86 configs, removing the pointer unfortunately didn't
result in any actual size reductions in the compiled layout of mm_struct.
But depending on compiler or arch alignment requirements, the change could
shrink the size of mm_struct.

PageAnonExclusive() used to forbid tail pages for hugetlbfs, as that used
to be called mostly in hugetlb specific paths and the head page was
guaranteed.
As we move forward towards merging hugetlb paths into generic mm, we may
start to pass in tail hugetlb pages (when with cont-pte/cont-pmd huge
pages) for such check. Allow it to properly fetch the head, in which case
the anon-exclusiveness of the head will always represents the tail page.
There's already a sign of it when we look at the GUP-fast which already
contain the hugetlb processing altogether: we used to have a specific
commit 5805192c7b ("mm/gup: handle cont-PTE hugetlb pages correctly in
gup_must_unshare() via GUP-fast") covering that area. Now with this more
generic change, that can also go away.

Now follow_page() is ready to handle hugetlb pages in whatever form, and
over all architectures. Switch to the generic code path.
Time to retire hugetlb_follow_page_mask(), following the previous
retirement of follow_hugetlb_page() in 4849807114.
There may be a slight difference of how the loops run when processing slow
GUP over a large hugetlb range on cont_pte/cont_pmd supported archs: each
loop of __get_user_pages() will resolve one pgtable entry with the patch
applied, rather than relying on the size of hugetlb hstate, the latter may
cover multiple entries in one loop.
A quick performance test on an aarch64 VM on M1 chip shows 15% degrade
over a tight loop of slow gup after the path switched. That shouldn't be
a problem because slow-gup should not be a hot path for GUP in general:
when page is commonly present, fast-gup will already succeed, while when
the page is indeed missing and require a follow up page fault, the slow
gup degrade will probably buried in the fault paths anyway. It also
explains why slow gup for THP used to be very slow before 57edfcfd34
("mm/gup: accelerate thp gup even for "pages != NULL"") lands, the latter
not part of a performance analysis but a side benefit. If the performance
will be a concern, we can consider handle CONT_PTE in follow_page().
Before that is justified to be necessary, keep everything clean and simple.

Hugepd is only used in PowerPC so far on 4K page size kernels where hash
mmu is used. follow_page_mask() used to leverage hugetlb APIs to access
hugepd entries. Teach follow_page_mask() itself on hugepd.
With previous refactors on fast-gup gup_huge_pd(), most of the code can be
leveraged. There's something not needed for follow page, for example,
gup_hugepte() tries to detect pgtable entry change which will never happen
with slow gup (which has the pgtable lock held), but that's not a problem
to check.
Since follow_page() always only fetch one page, set the end to "address +
PAGE_SIZE" should suffice. We will still do the pgtable walk once for
each hugetlb page by setting ctx->page_mask properly.
One thing worth mentioning is that some level of pgtable's _bad() helper
will report is_hugepd() entries as TRUE on Power8 hash MMUs. I think it
at least applies to PUD on Power8 with 4K pgsize. It means feeding a
hugepd entry to pud_bad() will report a false positive. Let's leave that
for now because it can be arch-specific where I am a bit declined to
touch. In this patch it's not a problem as long as hugepd is detected
before any bad pgtable entries.
To allow slow gup like follow_*_page() to access hugepd helpers, hugepd
codes are moved to the top. Besides that, the helper record_subpages()
will be used by either hugepd or fast-gup now. To avoid "unused function"
warnings we must provide a "#ifdef" for it, unfortunately.

Replace pmd_trans_huge() with pmd_leaf() to also cover pmd_huge() as long
as enabled.
FOLL_TOUCH and FOLL_SPLIT_PMD only apply to THP, not yet huge.
Since now follow_trans_huge_pmd() can process hugetlb pages, renaming it
into follow_huge_pmd() to match what it does. Move it into gup.c so not
depend on CONFIG_THP.
When at it, move the ctx->page_mask setup into follow_huge_pmd(), only set
it when the page is valid. It was not a bug to set it before even if GUP
failed (page==NULL), because follow_page_mask() callers always ignores
page_mask if so. But doing so makes the code cleaner.

Teach follow_pud_mask() to be able to handle normal PUD pages like
hugetlb.
Rename follow_devmap_pud() to follow_huge_pud() so that it can process
either huge devmap or hugetlb. Move it out of TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD
and and huge_memory.c (which relies on CONFIG_THP). Switch to pud_leaf()
to detect both cases in the slow gup.
In the new follow_huge_pud(), taking care of possible CoR for hugetlb if
necessary. touch_pud() needs to be moved out of huge_memory.c to be
accessable from gup.c even if !THP.
Since at it, optimize the non-present check by adding a pud_present()
early check before taking the pgtable lock, failing the follow_page()
early if PUD is not present: that is required by both devmap or hugetlb.
Use pud_huge() to also cover the pud_devmap() case.
One more trivial thing to mention is, introduce "pud_t pud" in the code
paths along the way, so the code doesn't dereference *pudp multiple time.
Not only because that looks less straightforward, but also because if the
dereference really happened, it's not clear whether there can be race to
see different *pudp values when it's being modified at the same time.
Setting ctx->page_mask properly for a PUD entry. As a side effect, this
patch should also be able to optimize devmap GUP on PUD to be able to jump
over the whole PUD range, but not yet verified. Hugetlb already can do so
prior to this patch.

Hugepd format for GUP is only used in PowerPC with hugetlbfs. There are
some kernel usage of hugepd (can refer to hugepd_populate_kernel() for
PPC_8XX), however those pages are not candidates for GUP.
Commit a6e79df92e ("mm/gup: disallow FOLL_LONGTERM GUP-fast writing to
file-backed mappings") added a check to fail gup-fast if there's potential
risk of violating GUP over writeback file systems. That should never
apply to hugepd. Considering that hugepd is an old format (and even
software-only), there's no plan to extend hugepd into other file typed
memories that is prone to the same issue.
Drop that check, not only because it'll never be true for hugepd per any
known plan, but also it paves way for reusing the function outside
fast-gup.
To make sure we'll still remember this issue just in case hugepd will be
extended to support non-hugetlbfs memories, add a rich comment above
gup_huge_pd(), explaining the issue with proper references.

The helpers need to be called before and after a pgtable walk, will start
to be needed if the pgtable walker code supports hugetlb pages. It's a

stablize the pgtable pages from getting away (due to possible pmd

Patch series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2", v4.
The series removes the hugetlb slow gup path after a previous refactor
work [1], so that slow gup now uses the exact same path to process all
kinds of memory including hugetlb.
For the long term, we may want to remove most, if not all, call sites of
huge_pte_offset(). It'll be ideal if that API can be completely dropped
from arch hugetlb API. This series is one small step towards merging
hugetlb specific codes into generic mm paths. From that POV, this series
removes one reference to huge_pte_offset() out of many others.
One goal of such a route is that we can reconsider merging hugetlb
features like High Granularity Mapping (HGM). It was not accepted in the
past because it may add lots of hugetlb specific codes and make the mm
code even harder to maintain. With a merged codeset, features like HGM
can hopefully share some code with THP, legacy (PMD+) or modern
(continuous PTEs).
To make it work, the generic slow gup code will need to at least
understand hugepd, which is already done like so in fast-gup. Due to the
specialty of hugepd to be software-only solution (no hardware recognizes
the hugepd format, so it's purely artificial structures), there's chance
we can merge some or all hugepd formats with cont_pte in the future. That
question is yet unsettled from Power side to have an acknowledgement. As
of now for this series, I kept the hugepd handling because we may still
need to do so before getting a clearer picture of the future of hugepd.
The other reason is simply that we did it already for fast-gup and most
codes are still around to be reused. It'll make more sense to keep
slow/fast gup behave the same before a decision is made to remove hugepd.
There's one major difference for slow-gup on cont_pte / cont_pmd handling,
currently supported on three architectures (aarch64, riscv, ppc). Before
the series, slow gup will be able to recognize e.g. cont_pte entries with
the help of huge_pte_offset() when hstate is around. Now it's gone but
still working, by looking up pgtable entries one by one.
It's not ideal, but hopefully this change should not affect yet on major
workloads. There's some more information in the commit message of the
last patch. If this would be a concern, we can consider teaching slow gup
to recognize cont pte/pmd entries, and that should recover the lost
performance. But I doubt its necessity for now, so I kept it as simple as
it can be.
Patch layout
=============
Patch 1-8: Preparation works, or cleanups in relevant code paths
Patch 9-11: Teach slow gup with all kinds of huge entries (pXd, hugepd)
Patch 12: Drop hugetlb_follow_page_mask()

compound_head() into one.

Convert directly from a pmd to a folio without going through another
representation first. For now this is just a slightly shorter way to
write it, but it might end up being more efficient later.

This is the folio equivalent of is_huge_zero_page(). It doesn't add any
efficiency, but it does prevent the caller from passing a tail page and
getting confused when the predicate returns false.

Very deep RB tree requires rebalance at times. That contributes to the
zswap fault latencies. Xarray does not need to perform tree rebalance.
Replacing RB tree to xarray can have some small performance gain.
One small difference is that xarray insert might fail with ENOMEM, while
RB tree insert does not allocate additional memory.
The zswap_entry size will reduce a bit due to removing the RB node, which
has two pointers and a color field. Xarray store the pointer in the
xarray tree rather than the zswap_entry. Every entry has one pointer from
the xarray tree. Overall, switching to xarray should save some memory, if
the swap entries are densely packed.
Notice the zswap_rb_search and zswap_rb_insert often followed by
zswap_rb_erase. Use xa_erase and xa_store directly. That saves one tree
lookup as well.
Remove zswap_invalidate_entry due to no need to call zswap_rb_erase any
more. Use zswap_free_entry instead.
The "struct zswap_tree" has been replaced by "struct xarray". The tree
spin lock has transferred to the xarray lock.
Run the kernel build testing 5 times for each version, averages:
