From 585e5a7babd91fd85a5cc97b7324c6c2fc29e1ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Song Liu Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2019 15:37:44 -0700 Subject: filemap: check compound_head(page)->mapping in filemap_fault() Patch series "Enable THP for text section of non-shmem files", v10; This patchset follows up discussion at LSF/MM 2019. The motivation is to put text section of an application in THP, and thus reduces iTLB miss rate and improves performance. Both Facebook and Oracle showed strong interests to this feature. To make reviews easier, this set aims a mininal valid product. Current version of the work does not have any changes to file system specific code. This comes with some limitations (discussed later). This set enables an application to "hugify" its text section by simply running something like: madvise(0x600000, 0x80000, MADV_HUGEPAGE); Before this call, the /proc//maps looks like: 00400000-074d0000 r-xp 00000000 00:27 2006927 app After this call, part of the text section is split out and mapped to THP: 00400000-00425000 r-xp 00000000 00:27 2006927 app 00600000-00e00000 r-xp 00200000 00:27 2006927 app <<< on THP 00e00000-074d0000 r-xp 00a00000 00:27 2006927 app Limitations: 1. This only works for text section (vma with VM_DENYWRITE). 2. Original limitation #2 is removed in v3. We gated this feature with an experimental config, READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS. Once we get better support on the write path, we can remove the config and enable it by default. Tested cases: 1. Tested with btrfs and ext4. 2. Tested with real work application (memcache like caching service). 3. Tested with "THP aware uprobe": https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mm/list/?series=131339 This patch (of 7): Currently, filemap_fault() avoids race condition with truncate by checking page->mapping == mapping. This does not work for compound pages. This patch let it check compound_head(page)->mapping instead.
