From 7a8010cd36273ff5f6fea5201ef9232f30cebbd9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlastimil Babka Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:22:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: munlock: manual pte walk in fast path instead of follow_page_mask() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Currently munlock_vma_pages_range() calls follow_page_mask() to obtain each individual struct page. This entails repeated full page table translations and page table lock taken for each page separately. This patch avoids the costly follow_page_mask() where possible, by iterating over ptes within single pmd under single page table lock. The first pte is obtained by get_locked_pte() for non-THP page acquired by the initial follow_page_mask(). The rest of the on-stack pagevec for munlock is filled up using pte_walk as long as pte_present() and vm_normal_page() are sufficient to obtain the struct page. After this patch, a 14% speedup was measured for munlocking a 56GB large memory area with THP disabled.
