Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] mm/vmscan: avoid split PMD-mapped 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. IMO, they would not
typically rewrite to the given range.
At present, PMD-mapped THPs that are marked as lazyfree during
shrink_folio_list() are unconditionally split, which may be unnecessary.
If the THP is clean, its PMD is also clean, and there are no unexpected
references, then we can attempt to remove the PMD mapping from it. This
change will improve the efficiency of memory reclamation in this case.
On an Intel i5 CPU, reclaiming 1GiB of PMD-mapped THPs using
mem_cgroup_force_empty() results in the following runtimes in seconds
(shorter is better):

v1 -> v2:
- Update the changelog
- Follow the exact same logic as in try_to_unmap_one() (per David Hildenbrand)
- Remove the extra code from rmap.c (per Matthew Wilcox)
