Rather than decrementing the head page refcount one by one, we walk the page array and checking which belong to the same compound_head. Later on we decrement the calculated amount of references in a single write to the head page. To that end switch to for_each_compound_head() does most of the work. set_page_dirty() needs no adjustment as it's a nop for non-dirty head pages and it doesn't operate on tail pages. This considerably improves unpinning of pages with THP and hugetlbfs: - THP gup_test -t -m 16384 -r 10 [-L|-a] -S -n 512 -w PIN_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK (put values): ~87.6k us -> ~23.2k us - 16G with 1G huge page size gup_test -f /mnt/huge/file -m 16384 -r 10 [-L|-a] -S -n 512 -w PIN_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK: (put values): ~87.6k us -> ~27.5k us Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210212130843.13865-3-joao.m.martins@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Cc: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
