The try_to_unmap_one() function currently handles PMD-mapped THPs
inefficiently. It first splits the PMD into PTEs, copies the dirty state
from the PMD to the PTEs, iterates over the PTEs to locate the dirty
state, and then marks the THP as swap-backed. This process involves
unnecessary PMD splitting and redundant iteration. Instead, this
functionality can be efficiently managed in
__discard_anon_folio_pmd_locked(), avoiding the extra steps and improving
performance.
The following microbenchmark redirties folios after invoking MADV_FREE,
then measures the time taken to perform memory reclamation (actually set
those folios swapbacked again) on the redirtied folios.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#define SIZE 128*1024*1024 // 128 MB
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
while(1) {
volatile int *p = mmap(0, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
memset((void *)p, 1, SIZE);
madvise((void *)p, SIZE, MADV_FREE);
/* redirty after MADV_FREE */
memset((void *)p, 1, SIZE);
clock_t start_time = clock();
madvise((void *)p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
clock_t end_time = clock();
double elapsed_time = (double)(end_time - start_time) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
printf("Time taken by reclamation: %f seconds\n", elapsed_time);
munmap((void *)p, SIZE);
}
return 0;
}
Testing results are as below,

This patch significantly speeds up try_to_unmap_one() by allowing it
to skip redirtied THPs without splitting the PMD.

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 reStructuredText 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.
