The following benchmark (stolen from Barry) is used to measure the time taken to swapout 256M worth of memory backed by 64K large folios: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #define SIZE_MB 256 #define SIZE_BYTES (SIZE_MB * 1024 * 1024) int main() { void *addr = mmap(NULL, SIZE_BYTES, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap failed"); return 1; } memset(addr, 0, SIZE_BYTES); struct timespec start, end; clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &start); if (madvise(addr, SIZE_BYTES, MADV_PAGEOUT) != 0) { perror("madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) failed"); munmap(addr, SIZE_BYTES); return 1; } clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &end); long duration_ns = (end.tv_sec - start.tv_sec) * 1e9 + (end.tv_nsec - start.tv_nsec); printf("madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) took %ld ns (%.3f ms)\n", duration_ns, duration_ns / 1e6); munmap(addr, SIZE_BYTES); return 0; } Performance as measured on a Linux VM on Apple M3 (arm64): Vanilla - Mean: 37401913 ns, std dev: 12% Patched - Mean: 17420282 ns, std dev: 11% resulting in more than 2x speedup. No regression observed on 4K folios. Performance as measured on bare metal x86: Vanilla - mean: 54986286 ns, std dev: 1.5% Patched - mean: 51930795 ns, std dev: 3% I tried magnifying the difference on x86 by using 1M large folios, but can't spot an obvious improvement (looks like my system is too fast to benefit from batched atomic operations!), hinting that the benefit lies mainly in the reduction of ptep_get() calls and the reduction of TLB flushes during contpte-unfolding, on arm64. No regression is observed on 4K folios on x86 too. --- Applies on Linux 7.3-rc1 plus below: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260831082849.3573957-1-dev.jain@arm.com/ mm-selftests pass.
