Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij: "This is the bulk of pin control changes for the v4.15 kernel cycle: Core: - The pin control Kconfig entry PINCTRL is now turned into a menuconfig option. This obviously has the implication of making the subsystem menu visible in menuconfig. This is happening because of two things: (a) Intel have started to deploy and depend on pin controllers in a way that is affecting users directly. This happens on the highly integrated laptop chipsets named after geographical places: baytrail, broxton, cannonlake, cedarfork, cherryview, denverton, geminilake, lewisburg, merrifield, sunrisepoint... It started a while back and now it is ever more evident that this is crucial infrastructure for x86 laptops and not an embedded obscurity anymore. Users need to be aware. (b) Pin control expanders on I2C and SPI that are arch-agnostic. Currently Semtech SX150X and Microchip MCP28x08 but more are expected. Users will have to be able to configure these in directly for their set-up. - Just go and select GPIOLIB now that we made sure that GPIOLIB is a very vanilla subsystem. Do not depend on it, if we need it, select it. - Exposing the pin control subsystem in menuconfig uncovered a bunch of obscure bugs that are now hopefully fixed, all more or less pertaining to Blackfin. - Unified namespace for cross-calls between pin control and GPIO. - New support for clock skew/delay generic DT bindings and generic pin config options for this. - Minor documentation improvements. Various: - The Renesas SH-PFC pin controller has evolved a lot. It seems Renesas are churning out new SoCs by the minute. - A bunch of non-critical fixes for the Rockchip driver. - Improve the use of library functions instead of open coding. - Support the MCP28018 variant in the MCP28x08 driver. - Static constifying" * tag 'pinctrl-v4.15-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl: (91 commits) pinctrl: gemini: Fix missing pad descriptions pinctrl: Add some depends on HAS_IOMEM pinctrl: samsung/s3c24xx: add CONFIG_OF dependency pinctrl: gemini: Fix GMAC groups pinctrl: qcom: spmi-gpio: Add pmi8994 gpio support pinctrl: ti-iodelay: remove redundant unused variable dev pinctrl: max77620: Use common error handling code in max77620_pinconf_set() pinctrl: gemini: Implement clock skew/delay config pinctrl: gemini: Use generic DT parser pinctrl: Add skew-delay pin config and bindings pinctrl: armada-37xx: Add edge both type gpio irq support pinctrl: uniphier: remove eMMC hardware reset pin-mux pinctrl: rockchip: Add iomux-route switching support for rk3288 pinctrl: intel: Add Intel Cedar Fork PCH pin controller support pinctrl: intel: Make offset to interrupt status register configurable pinctrl: sunxi: Enforce the strict mode by default pinctrl: sunxi: Disable strict mode for old pinctrl drivers pinctrl: sunxi: Introduce the strict flag pinctrl: sh-pfc: Save/restore registers for PSCI system suspend pinctrl: sh-pfc: r8a7796: Use generic IOCTRL register description ... -

free_area_init_node() calls alloc_node_mem_map(), but this function does nothing unless we have CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP. As a cleanup, we can move the "#ifdef CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP" within alloc_node_mem_map() out of the function, and define a alloc_node_mem_map() { } when CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP is not present. This also moves the printk that lays within the "#ifdef CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP" block from free_area_init_node() to alloc_node_mem_map(), getting rid of the "#ifdef CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP" in free_area_init_node().

alloc_warn() and dump_header() have to explicitly handle NULL nodemask which forces both paths to use pr_cont. We can do better. printk already handles NULL pointers properly so all we need is to teach nodemask_pr_args to handle NULL nodemask carefully. This allows simplification of both alloc_warn() and dump_header() and gets rid of pr_cont altogether. This patch has been motivated by patch from Joe Perches http://lkml.kernel.org/r/b31236dfe3fc924054fd7842bde678e71d193638.1509991345.git.joe@perches.com [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix tile warning, per Arnd] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171109100531.3cn2hcqnuj7mjaju@dhcp22.suse.czSigned-off-by:

online_page_ext() and page_ext_init() allocate page_ext for each section, but they do not allocate if the first PFN is !pfn_present(pfn) or !pfn_valid(pfn). Then section->page_ext remains as NULL. lookup_page_ext checks NULL only if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled. For a valid PFN, __set_page_owner will try to get page_ext through lookup_page_ext. Without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM lookup_page_ext will misuse NULL pointer as value 0. This incurrs invalid address access. This is the panic example when PFN 0x100000 is not valid but PFN 0x13FC00 is being used for page_ext. section->page_ext is NULL, get_entry returned invalid page_ext address as 0x1DFA000 for a PFN 0x13FC00. To avoid this panic, CONFIG_DEBUG_VM should be removed so that page_ext will be checked at all times.

The preempt count check on print_vma_addr has been added by commit e8bff74a ("x86: fix "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context" in print_vma_addr()") and it relied on the elevated preempt count from preempt_conditional_sti because preempt_count check doesn't work on non preemptive kernels by default. The code has evolved though and commit d99e1bd1 ("x86/entry/traps: Refactor preemption and interrupt flag handling") has replaced preempt_conditional_sti by an explicit preempt_disable which is noop on !PREEMPT so the check in print_vma_addr is broken. Fix the issue by using trylock on mmap_sem rather than chacking the preempt count. The allocation we are relying on has to be GFP_NOWAIT as well. There is a chance that we won't dump the vma state if the lock is contended or the memory short but this is acceptable outcome and much less fragile than the not working preemption check or tricks around it.

This is an excessive way to tell the user that there is nothing to really worry about because we do have a fallback mechanism to use base pages. The only downside might be a performance degradation due to TLB pressure. This patch changes vmemmap_alloc_block() to use __GFP_NOWARN and warn explicitly once on the first allocation failure. This will reduce the noise in the kernel log considerably, while we still have an indication that a performance might be impacted.

In reset_deferred_meminit() we determine number of pages that must not be deferred. We initialize pages for at least 2G of memory, but also pages for reserved memory in this node. The reserved memory is determined in this function: memblock_reserved_memory_within(), which operates over physical addresses, and returns size in bytes. However, reset_deferred_meminit() assumes that that this function operates with pfns, and returns page count. The result is that in the best case machine boots slower than expected due to initializing more pages than needed in single thread, and in the worst case panics because fewer than needed pages are initialized early.

Commit 63f53dea ("mm: warn about allocations which stall for too long") was a great step for reducing possibility of silent hang up problem caused by memory allocation stalls. But this commit reverts it, for it is possible to trigger OOM lockup and/or soft lockups when many threads concurrently called warn_alloc() (in order to warn about memory allocation stalls) due to current implementation of printk(), and it is difficult to obtain useful information due to limitation of synchronous warning approach. Current printk() implementation flushes all pending logs using the context of a thread which called console_unlock(). printk() should be able to flush all pending logs eventually unless somebody continues appending to printk() buffer. Since warn_alloc() started appending to printk() buffer while waiting for oom_kill_process() to make forward progress when oom_kill_process() is processing pending logs, it became possible for warn_alloc() to force oom_kill_process() loop inside printk(). As a result, warn_alloc() significantly increased possibility of preventing oom_kill_process() from making forward progress. ---------- Pseudo code start ---------- Before warn_alloc() was introduced: retry: if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) { while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) { atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs); print_one_log(); } // Send SIGKILL here. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) } goto retry; After warn_alloc() was introduced: retry: if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) { while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) { atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs); print_one_log(); } // Send SIGKILL here. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) } else if (waited_for_10seconds()) { atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs); } goto retry; ---------- Pseudo code end ---------- Although waited_for_10seconds() becomes true once per 10 seconds, unbounded number of threads can call waited_for_10seconds() at the same time. Also, since threads doing waited_for_10seconds() keep doing almost busy loop, the thread doing print_one_log() can use little CPU resource. Therefore, this situation can be simplified like ---------- Pseudo code start ---------- retry: if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) { while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) { atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs); print_one_log(); } // Send SIGKILL here. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) } else { atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs); } goto retry; ---------- Pseudo code end ---------- when printk() is called faster than print_one_log() can process a log. One of possible mitigation would be to introduce a new lock in order to make sure that no other series of printk() (either oom_kill_process() or warn_alloc()) can append to printk() buffer when one series of printk() (either oom_kill_process() or warn_alloc()) is already in progress. Such serialization will also help obtaining kernel messages in readable form. ---------- Pseudo code start ---------- retry: if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) { mutex_lock(&oom_printk_lock); while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) { atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs); print_one_log(); } // Send SIGKILL here. mutex_unlock(&oom_printk_lock); mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) } else { if (mutex_trylock(&oom_printk_lock)) { atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs); mutex_unlock(&oom_printk_lock); } } goto retry; ---------- Pseudo code end ---------- But this commit does not go that direction, for we don't want to introduce a new lock dependency, and we unlikely be able to obtain useful information even if we serialized oom_kill_process() and warn_alloc(). Synchronous approach is prone to unexpected results (e.g. too late [1], too frequent [2], overlooked [3]). As far as I know, warn_alloc() never helped with providing information other than "something is going wrong". I want to consider asynchronous approach which can obtain information during stalls with possibly relevant threads (e.g. the owner of oom_lock and kswapd-like threads) and serve as a trigger for actions (e.g. turn on/off tracepoints, ask libvirt daemon to take a memory dump of stalling KVM guest for diagnostic purpose). This commit temporarily loses ability to report e.g. OOM lockup due to unable to invoke the OOM killer due to !__GFP_FS allocation request. But asynchronous approach will be able to detect such situation and emit warning. Thus, let's remove warn_alloc().

Since commit 97a16fc8 ("mm, page_alloc: only enforce watermarks for order-0 allocations"), __zone_watermark_ok() check for high-order allocations will shortcut per-migratetype free list checks for ALLOC_HARDER allocations, and return true as long as there's free page of any migratetype. The intention is that ALLOC_HARDER can allocate from MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC free lists, while normal allocations can't. However, as a side effect, the watermark check will then also return true when there are pages only on the MIGRATE_ISOLATE list, or (prior to CMA conversion to ZONE_MOVABLE) on the MIGRATE_CMA list. Since the allocation cannot actually obtain isolated pages, and might not be able to obtain CMA pages, this can result in a false positive. The condition should be rare and perhaps the outcome is not a fatal one. Still, it's better if the watermark check is correct. There also shouldn't be a performance tradeoff here.

lru_add_drain_all() is not required by mlock() and it will drain everything that has been cached at the time mlock is called. And that is not really related to the memory which will be faulted in (and cached) and mlocked by the syscall itself. If anything lru_add_drain_all() should be called _after_ pages have been mlocked and faulted in but even that is not strictly needed because those pages would get to the appropriate LRUs lazily during the reclaim path. Moreover follow_page_pte (gup) will drain the local pcp LRU cache. On larger machines the overhead of lru_add_drain_all() in mlock() can be significant when mlocking data already in memory. We have observed high latency in mlock() due to lru_add_drain_all() when the users were mlocking in memory tmpfs files.

This is the second step which introduces a tunable interface that allow numa stats configurable for optimizing zone_statistics(), as suggested by Dave Hansen and Ying Huang. ========================================================================= When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can tolerate some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter precision, you can do: echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat In this case, numa counter update is ignored.

rmqueue_bulk() fills an empty pcplist with pages from the free list. It tries to preserve increasing order by pfn to the caller, because it leads to better performance with some I/O controllers, as explained in commit e084b2d9 ("page-allocator: preserve PFN ordering when __GFP_COLD is set"). To preserve the order, it's sufficient to add pages to the tail of the list as they are retrieved. The current code instead adds to the head of the list, but then updates the list head pointer to the last added page, in each step. This does result in the same order, but is needlessly confusing and potentially wasteful, with no apparent benefit. This patch simplifies the code and adjusts comment accordingly.

As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of __GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the __GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page allocator. This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway. The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the fault path.

Most callers users of free_hot_cold_page claim the pages being released are cache hot. The exception is the page reclaim paths where it is likely that enough pages will be freed in the near future that the per-cpu lists are going to be recycled and the cache hotness information is lost. As no one really cares about the hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter. The APIs are renamed to indicate that it's no longer about hot/cold pages. It should also be less confusing as there are subtle differences between them. __free_pages drops a reference and frees a page when the refcount reaches zero. free_hot_cold_page handled pages whose refcount was already zero which is non-obvious from the name. free_unref_page should be more obvious. No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless parameter copied everywhere.

When a pagevec is initialised on the stack, it is generally used multiple times over a range of pages, looking up entries and then releasing them. On each pagevec_release, the per-cpu deferred LRU pagevecs are drained on the grounds the page being released may be on those queues and the pages may be cache hot. In many cases only the first drain is necessary as it's unlikely that the range of pages being walked is racing against LRU addition. Even if there is such a race, the impact is marginal where as constantly redraining the lru pagevecs costs. This patch ensures that pagevec is only drained once in a given lifecycle without increasing the cache footprint of the pagevec structure. Only sparsetruncate tiny is shown here as large files have many exceptional entries and calls pagecache_release less frequently. sparsetruncate (tiny) 4.14.0-rc4 4.14.0-rc4 batchshadow-v1r1 onedrain-v1r1 Min Time 141.00 ( 0.00%) 141.00 ( 0.00%) 1st-qrtle Time 142.00 ( 0.00%) 142.00 ( 0.00%) 2nd-qrtle Time 142.00 ( 0.00%) 142.00 ( 0.00%) 3rd-qrtle Time 143.00 ( 0.00%) 143.00 ( 0.00%) Max-90% Time 144.00 ( 0.00%) 144.00 ( 0.00%) Max-95% Time 146.00 ( 0.00%) 145.00 ( 0.68%) Max-99% Time 198.00 ( 0.00%) 194.00 ( 2.02%) Max Time 254.00 ( 0.00%) 208.00 ( 18.11%) Amean Time 145.12 ( 0.00%) 144.30 ( 0.56%) Stddev Time 12.74 ( 0.00%) 9.62 ( 24.49%) Coeff Time 8.78 ( 0.00%) 6.67 ( 24.06%) Best99%Amean Time 144.29 ( 0.00%) 143.82 ( 0.32%) Best95%Amean Time 142.68 ( 0.00%) 142.31 ( 0.26%) Best90%Amean Time 142.52 ( 0.00%) 142.19 ( 0.24%) Best75%Amean Time 142.26 ( 0.00%) 141.98 ( 0.20%) Best50%Amean Time 141.90 ( 0.00%) 141.71 ( 0.13%) Best25%Amean Time 141.80 ( 0.00%) 141.43 ( 0.26%) The impact on bonnie is marginal and within the noise because a significant percentage of the file being truncated has been reclaimed and consists of shadow entries which reduce the hotness of the pagevec_release path.

During truncate each entry in a pagevec is checked to see if it is an exceptional entry and if so, the shadow entry is cleaned up. This is potentially expensive as multiple entries for a mapping locks/unlocks the tree lock. This batches the operation such that any exceptional entries removed from a pagevec only acquire the mapping tree lock once. The corner case where this is more expensive is where there is only one exceptional entry but this is unlikely due to temporal locality and how it affects LRU ordering. Note that for truncations of small files created recently, this patch should show no gain because it only batches the handling of exceptional entries. sparsetruncate (large) 4.14.0-rc4 4.14.0-rc4 pickhelper-v1r1 batchshadow-v1r1 Min Time 38.00 ( 0.00%) 27.00 ( 28.95%) 1st-qrtle Time 40.00 ( 0.00%) 28.00 ( 30.00%) 2nd-qrtle Time 44.00 ( 0.00%) 41.00 ( 6.82%) 3rd-qrtle Time 146.00 ( 0.00%) 147.00 ( -0.68%) Max-90% Time 153.00 ( 0.00%) 153.00 ( 0.00%) Max-95% Time 155.00 ( 0.00%) 156.00 ( -0.65%) Max-99% Time 181.00 ( 0.00%) 171.00 ( 5.52%) Amean Time 93.04 ( 0.00%) 88.43 ( 4.96%) Best99%Amean Time 92.08 ( 0.00%) 86.13 ( 6.46%) Best95%Amean Time 89.19 ( 0.00%) 83.13 ( 6.80%) Best90%Amean Time 85.60 ( 0.00%) 79.15 ( 7.53%) Best75%Amean Time 72.95 ( 0.00%) 65.09 ( 10.78%) Best50%Amean Time 39.86 ( 0.00%) 28.20 ( 29.25%) Best25%Amean Time 39.44 ( 0.00%) 27.70 ( 29.77%) bonnie 4.14.0-rc4 4.14.0-rc4 pickhelper-v1r1 batchshadow-v1r1 Hmean SeqCreate ops 71.92 ( 0.00%) 76.78 ( 6.76%) Hmean SeqCreate read 42.42 ( 0.00%) 45.01 ( 6.10%) Hmean SeqCreate del 26519.88 ( 0.00%) 27191.87 ( 2.53%) Hmean RandCreate ops 71.92 ( 0.00%) 76.95 ( 7.00%) Hmean RandCreate read 44.44 ( 0.00%) 49.23 ( 10.78%) Hmean RandCreate del 24948.62 ( 0.00%) 24764.97 ( -0.74%) Truncation of a large number of files shows a substantial gain with 99% of files being truncated 6.46% faster. bonnie shows a modest gain of 2.53% [jack@suse.cz: fix truncate_exceptional_pvec_entries()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171108164226.26788-1-jack@suse.cz Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171018075952.10627-4-mgorman@techsingularity.netSigned-off-by: -

During truncation, the mapping has already been checked for shmem and dax so it's known that workingset_update_node is required. This patch avoids the checks on mapping for each page being truncated. In all other cases, a lookup helper is used to determine if workingset_update_node() needs to be called. The one danger is that the API is slightly harder to use as calling workingset_update_node directly without checking for dax or shmem mappings could lead to surprises. However, the API rarely needs to be used and hopefully the comment is enough to give people the hint. sparsetruncate (tiny) 4.14.0-rc4 4.14.0-rc4 oneirq-v1r1 pickhelper-v1r1 Min Time 141.00 ( 0.00%) 140.00 ( 0.71%) 1st-qrtle Time 142.00 ( 0.00%) 141.00 ( 0.70%) 2nd-qrtle Time 142.00 ( 0.00%) 142.00 ( 0.00%) 3rd-qrtle Time 143.00 ( 0.00%) 143.00 ( 0.00%) Max-90% Time 144.00 ( 0.00%) 144.00 ( 0.00%) Max-95% Time 147.00 ( 0.00%) 145.00 ( 1.36%) Max-99% Time 195.00 ( 0.00%) 191.00 ( 2.05%) Max Time 230.00 ( 0.00%) 205.00 ( 10.87%) Amean Time 144.37 ( 0.00%) 143.82 ( 0.38%) Stddev Time 10.44 ( 0.00%) 9.00 ( 13.74%) Coeff Time 7.23 ( 0.00%) 6.26 ( 13.41%) Best99%Amean Time 143.72 ( 0.00%) 143.34 ( 0.26%) Best95%Amean Time 142.37 ( 0.00%) 142.00 ( 0.26%) Best90%Amean Time 142.19 ( 0.00%) 141.85 ( 0.24%) Best75%Amean Time 141.92 ( 0.00%) 141.58 ( 0.24%) Best50%Amean Time 141.69 ( 0.00%) 141.31 ( 0.27%) Best25%Amean Time 141.38 ( 0.00%) 140.97 ( 0.29%) As you'd expect, the gain is marginal but it can be detected.

Patch series "Follow-up for speed up page cache truncation", v2. This series is a follow-on for Jan Kara's series "Speed up page cache truncation" series. We both ended up looking at the same problem but saw different problems based on the same data. This series builds upon his work. A variety of workloads were compared on four separate machines but each machine showed gains albeit at different levels. Minimally, some of the differences are due to NUMA where truncating data from a remote node is slower than a local node. The workloads checked were o sparse truncate microbenchmark, tiny o sparse truncate microbenchmark, large o reaim-io disk workfile o dbench4 (modified by mmtests to produce more stable results) o filebench varmail configuration for small memory size o bonnie, directory operations, working set size 2*RAM reaim-io, dbench and filebench all showed minor gains. Truncation does not dominate those workloads but were tested to ensure no other regressions. They will not be reported further. The sparse truncate microbench was written by Jan. It creates a number of files and then times how long it takes to truncate each one. The "tiny" configuraiton creates a number of files that easily fits in memory and times how long it takes to truncate files with page cache. The large configuration uses enough files to have data that is twice the size of memory and so timings there include truncating page cache and working set shadow entries in the radix tree. Patches 1-4 are the most relevant parts of this series. Patches 5-8 are optional as they are deleting code that is essentially useless but has a negligible performance impact.

This is a tradeoff - we're taking two passes of the list to free in exchange for avoiding multiple enable/disable of IRQs. sparsetruncate (tiny) 4.14.0-rc4 4.14.0-rc4 janbatch-v1r1 oneirq-v1r1 Min Time 149.00 ( 0.00%) 141.00 ( 5.37%) 1st-qrtle Time 150.00 ( 0.00%) 142.00 ( 5.33%) 2nd-qrtle Time 151.00 ( 0.00%) 142.00 ( 5.96%) 3rd-qrtle Time 151.00 ( 0.00%) 143.00 ( 5.30%) Max-90% Time 153.00 ( 0.00%) 144.00 ( 5.88%) Max-95% Time 155.00 ( 0.00%) 147.00 ( 5.16%) Max-99% Time 201.00 ( 0.00%) 195.00 ( 2.99%) Max Time 236.00 ( 0.00%) 230.00 ( 2.54%) Amean Time 152.65 ( 0.00%) 144.37 ( 5.43%) Stddev Time 9.78 ( 0.00%) 10.44 ( -6.72%) Coeff Time 6.41 ( 0.00%) 7.23 ( -12.84%) Best99%Amean Time 152.07 ( 0.00%) 143.72 ( 5.50%) Best95%Amean Time 150.75 ( 0.00%) 142.37 ( 5.56%) Best90%Amean Time 150.59 ( 0.00%) 142.19 ( 5.58%) Best75%Amean Time 150.36 ( 0.00%) 141.92 ( 5.61%) Best50%Amean Time 150.04 ( 0.00%) 141.69 ( 5.56%) Best25%Amean Time 149.85 ( 0.00%) 141.38 ( 5.65%) With a tiny number of files, each file truncated has resident page cache and it shows that time to truncate is roughtly 5-6% with some minor jitter. 4.14.0-rc4 4.14.0-rc4 janbatch-v1r1 oneirq-v1r1 Hmean SeqCreate ops 65.27 ( 0.00%) 81.86 ( 25.43%) Hmean SeqCreate read 39.48 ( 0.00%) 47.44 ( 20.16%) Hmean SeqCreate del 24963.95 ( 0.00%) 26319.99 ( 5.43%) Hmean RandCreate ops 65.47 ( 0.00%) 82.01 ( 25.26%) Hmean RandCreate read 42.04 ( 0.00%) 51.75 ( 23.09%) Hmean RandCreate del 23377.66 ( 0.00%) 23764.79 ( 1.66%) As expected, there is a small gain for the delete operation.

Currently we remove pages from the radix tree one by one. To speed up page cache truncation, lock several pages at once and free them in one go. This allows us to batch radix tree operations in a more efficient way and also save round-trips on mapping->tree_lock. As a result we gain about 20% speed improvement in page cache truncation. Data from a simple benchmark timing 10000 truncates of 1024 pages (on ext4 on ramdisk but the filesystem is barely visible in the profiles). The range shows 1% and 95% percentiles of the measured times: 4.14-rc2 4.14-rc2 + batched truncation 248-256 209-219 249-258 209-217 248-255 211-239 248-255 209-217 247-256 210-218 [jack@suse.cz: convert delete_from_page_cache_batch() to pagevec] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171018111648.13714-1-jack@suse.cz [akpm@linux-foundation.org: move struct pagevec forward declaration to top-of-file] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171010151937.26984-8-jack@suse.czSigned-off-by:

Move checks and accounting updates from __delete_from_page_cache() into a separate function. We will reuse it when batching page cache truncation operations. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171010151937.26984-7-jack@suse.czSigned-off-by:
