Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/1] powerpc/pgtable: Skip serialize_against_pte_lookup() when unmapping
If a process (qemu) with a lot of CPUs (128) try to munmap() a large
chunk of memory (496GB) mapped with THP, it takes an average of 275
seconds, which can cause a lot of problems to the load (in qemu case,
the guest will lock for this time).
Trying to find the source of this bug, I found out most of this time is
spent on serialize_against_pte_lookup(). This function will take a lot
of time in smp_call_function_many() if there is more than a couple CPUs
running the user process. Since it has to happen to all THP mapped, it
will take a very long time for large amounts of memory.
By the docs, serialize_against_pte_lookup() is needed in order to avoid
pmd_t to pte_t casting inside find_current_mm_pte(), or any lockless
pagetable walk, to happen concurrently with THP splitting/collapsing.
In this case, as the page is being munmapped, there is no need to call
serialize_against_pte_lookup(), given it will not be used after or
during munmap.
This patch does so by adding option to skip serializing on
radix__pmdp_huge_get_and_clear(). This option is used by the proxy
__pmdp_huge_get_and_clear(), that is called with 'unmap == true' on
an (new) arch version of pmdp_huge_get_and_clear_full(), and with
'unmap == false' on pmdp_huge_get_and_clear(), that is used on
generic code.
pmdp_huge_get_and_clear_full() is only called in zap_huge_pmd(), so
it's safe to assume it will always be called on memory that will be
unmapped.
On my workload (qemu: 128vcpus + 500GB), I could see munmap's time
reduction from 275 seconds to 39ms.
