Subject: Re: Performance regressions in "boot_time" tests in Linux 5.8 Kernel
Hi Baoquan,
We had some trouble applying the patch to problem commit and the latest upstream commit. Steven (CC'ed) helped us by providing the updated draft patch. We applied it on the latest commit (3e4fb4346c781068610d03c12b16c0cfb0fd24a3), and it doesn't look like improving the performance numbers.

Can you test below draft patch and see if it works for you?

Subject: [PATCH] mm: make memmap defer init only take effect per zone
Deferred struct page init is designed to work per zone. However since
commit 73a6e474cb376 ("mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock regions
rather that check each PFN"), the handling is mistakenly done in all memory
ranges inside one zone. Especially in those unmovable zones of multiple nodes,
memblock reservation split them into many memory ranges. This makes
initialized struct page more than expected in early stage, then increases
much boot time.
Let's fix it to make the memmap defer init handled in zone wide, but not in
memory range of one zone.
