mm/vmscan: avoid split lazyfree THP during shrink_folio_list()
When the user no longer requires the pages, they would use madvise(MADV_FREE) to mark the pages as lazy free. Subsequently, they typically would not re-write to that memory again. During memory reclaim, if we detect that the large folio and its PMD are both still marked as clean and there are no unexpected references (such as GUP), so we can just discard the memory lazily, improving the efficiency of memory reclamation in this case. On an Intel i5 CPU, reclaiming 1GiB of lazyfree THPs using mem_cgroup_force_empty() results in the following runtimes in seconds (shorter is better): -------------------------------------------- | Old | New | Change | -------------------------------------------- | 0.683426 | 0.049197 | -92.80% | -------------------------------------------- [[email protected]: minor changes per David] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Lance Yang <[email protected]> Suggested-by: Zi Yan <[email protected]> Suggested-by: David Hildenbrand <[email protected]> Cc: Bang Li <[email protected]> Cc: Baolin Wang <[email protected]> Cc: Barry Song <[email protected]> Cc: Fangrui Song <[email protected]> Cc: Jeff Xie <[email protected]> Cc: Kefeng Wang <[email protected]> Cc: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <[email protected]> Cc: Michal Hocko <[email protected]> Cc: Minchan Kim <[email protected]> Cc: Muchun Song <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Xu <[email protected]> Cc: Ryan Roberts <[email protected]> Cc: SeongJae Park <[email protected]> Cc: Yang Shi <[email protected]> Cc: Yin Fengwei <[email protected]> Cc: Zach O'Keefe <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]>
