[PATCH 1/3] mm,thp,rmap: subpages_mapcount of PTE-mapped subpages
From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Fri Nov 18 2022 - 04:12:22 EST
Following suggestion from Linus, instead of counting every PTE map of a
compound page in subpages_mapcount, just count how many of its subpages
are PTE-mapped: this yields the exact number needed for NR_ANON_MAPPED
and NR_FILE_MAPPED stats, without any need for a locked scan of subpages;
and requires updating the count less often.
This does then revert total_mapcount() and folio_mapcount() to needing a
scan of subpages; but they are inherently racy, and need no locking, so
Linus is right that the scans are much better done there. Plus (unlike
in 6.1 and previous) subpages_mapcount lets us avoid the scan in the
common case of no PTE maps. And page_mapped() and folio_mapped() remain
scanless and just as efficient with the new meaning of subpages_mapcount:
those are the functions which I most wanted to remove the scan from.
The updated page_dup_compound_rmap() is no longer suitable for use by
anon THP's __split_huge_pmd_locked(); but page_add_anon_rmap() can be
used for that, so long as its VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLocked) is deleted.
Evidence is that this way goes slightly faster than the previous
implementation for most cases; but significantly faster in the (now
scanless) pmds after ptes case, which started out at 870ms and was
brought down to 495ms by the previous series, now takes around 105ms.
