Subject: [PATCH] userfaultfd: opportunistic TLB-flush batching for present
pages in MOVE
MOVE ioctl's runtime is dominated by TLB-flush cost, which is required
for moving present pages. Mitigate this cost by opportunistically
batching present contiguous pages for TLB flushing.
Without batching, in our testing on an arm64 Android device with UFFD GC,
which uses MOVE ioctl for compaction, we observed that out of the total
time spent in move_pages_pte(), over 40% is in ptep_clear_flush(), and
~20% in vm_normal_folio().
With batching, the proportion of vm_normal_folio() increases to over
70% of move_pages_pte() without any changes to vm_normal_folio().
Furthermore, time spent within move_pages_pte() is only ~20%, which
includes TLB-flush overhead.
