Thanks -- I was able to reproduce results similar to yours.
It turned out the mystery (fewer refaults but worse performance) was caused by
13.89% 13.89% kswapd0 [kernel.vmlinux] [k]
__list_del_entry_valid_or_report
Apparently Fedora has CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y by default, and after I
turned it off (the only change I made), this series showed better TPS
(I used"--duration=10800" for more reliable results):
v6.7-rc6 RFC [1] change
total txns 25024 24672 +1%
workingset_refault_anon 573668 680248 -16%
workingset_refault_file 260631976 265808452 -2%
I think this is easy to explain: this series is "lazy", i.e.,
deferring the protection to eviction time, whereas your RFC tries to
do it upfront, i.e., at (re)fault time. The advantage of the former is
that it has more up-to-date information because a folio that is hot
when it's faulted in doesn't mean it's still hot later when memory
pressure kicks in. The disadvantage is that it needs to protect folios
that are still hot at eviction time, by moving them to a younger
generation, where the slow down happened with CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y.
(It's not really a priority for me to investigate why
__list_del_entry_valid_or_report() is so heavy. Hopefully someone else
can shed some light on it.)
[1] v3 on top of v6.7-rc6 with "mm/mglru: fix underprotected page
cache" reverted.
