From e3246d8f52173a798710314a42fea83223036fc8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joao Martins Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2022 23:16:15 -0700 Subject: mm/sparse-vmemmap: add a pgmap argument to section activation Patch series "sparse-vmemmap: memory savings for compound devmaps (device-dax)", v9. This series minimizes 'struct page' overhead by pursuing a similar approach as Muchun Song series "Free some vmemmap pages of hugetlb page" (now merged since v5.14), but applied to devmap with @vmemmap_shift (device-dax). The vmemmap dedpulication original idea (already used in HugeTLB) is to reuse/deduplicate tail page vmemmap areas, particular the area which only describes tail pages. So a vmemmap page describes 64 struct pages, and the first page for a given ZONE_DEVICE vmemmap would contain the head page and 63 tail pages. The second vmemmap page would contain only tail pages, and that's what gets reused across the rest of the subsection/section. The bigger the page size, the bigger the savings (2M hpage -> save 6 vmemmap pages; 1G hpage -> save 4094 vmemmap pages). This is done for PMEM /specifically only/ on device-dax configured namespaces, not fsdax. In other words, a devmap with a @vmemmap_shift. In terms of savings, per 1Tb of memory, the struct page cost would go down with compound devmap: * with 2M pages we lose 4G instead of 16G (0.39% instead of 1.5% of total memory) * with 1G pages we lose 40MB instead of 16G (0.0014% instead of 1.5% of total memory) The series is mostly summed up by patch 4, and to summarize what the series does: Patches 1 - 3: Minor cleanups in preparation for patch 4. Move the very nice docs of hugetlb_vmemmap.c into a Documentation/vm/ entry. Patch 4: Patch 4 is the one that takes care of the struct page savings (also referred to here as tail-page/vmemmap deduplication). Much like Muchun series, we reuse the second PTE tail page vmemmap areas across a given @vmemmap_shift On important difference though, is that contrary to the hugetlbfs series, there's no vmemmap for the area because we are late-populating it as opposed to remapping a system-ram range. IOW no freeing of pages of already initialized vmemmap like the case for hugetlbfs, which greatly simplifies the logic (besides not being arch-specific). altmap case unchanged and still goes via the vmemmap_populate(). Also adjust the newly added docs to the device-dax case. [Note that device-dax is still a little behind HugeTLB in terms of savings. I have an additional simple patch that reuses the head vmemmap page too, as a follow-up. That will double the savings and namespaces initialization.] Patch 5: Initialize fewer struct pages depending on the page size with DRAM backed struct pages -- because fewer pages are unique and most tail pages (with bigger vmemmap_shift). NVDIMM namespace bootstrap improves from ~268-358 ms to ~80-110/<1ms on 128G NVDIMMs with 2M and 1G respectivally. And struct page needed capacity will be 3.8x / 1071x smaller for 2M and 1G respectivelly. Tested on x86 with 1.5Tb of pmem (including pinning, and RDMA registration/deregistration scalability with 2M MRs) This patch (of 5): In support of using compound pages for devmap mappings, plumb the pgmap down to the vmemmap_populate implementation. Note that while altmap is retrievable from pgmap the memory hotplug code passes altmap without pgmap[*], so both need to be independently plumbed. So in addition to @altmap, pass @pgmap to sparse section populate functions namely: sparse_add_section section_activate populate_section_memmap __populate_section_memmap Passing @pgmap allows __populate_section_memmap() to both fetch the vmemmap_shift in which memmap metadata is created for and also to let sparse-vmemmap fetch pgmap ranges to co-relate to a given section and pick whether to just reuse tail pages from past onlined sections. While at it, fix the kdoc for @altmap for sparse_add_section().
