Subject: [PATCH v3 8/9] mm/rmap: batch unmap anonymous swap-backed large folios
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 13:09:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924131106.1730494-9-dev.jain@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260924131106.1730494-1-dev.jain@arm.com>
Enable batch clearing of PTEs and batch swap setting of PTEs for anon
swap-backed folio unmapping.
Processing all PTEs of a large folio in one go helps us batch across
atomics (add_mm_counter() etc), barriers in __folio_try_share_anon_rmap(),
and repeated calls to page_vma_mapped_walk(). In general, batching helps
execute similar code together, making the path more memory and CPU
friendly.
On arm64-contpte, batching also helps avoid redundant ptep_get() calls
and TLB flushes while breaking the contpte mapping.
The handling of anon-exclusivity is very similar to commit cac1db8c3aad
("mm: optimize mprotect() by PTE batching"). Since
folio_unmap_pte_batch() does not look at the bits of the underlying page,
process sub-batches of PTEs pointing to pages with the same exclusivity
state, and batch set only those PTEs to swap PTEs in one go.
Disable batching for sparc (because of arch_unmap_one), we will batch this
later.
Rmap accounting and reference accounting must happen when anon folio unmap
succeeds. If a large folio is only partially batched or a later sub-batch
fails, account only the pages that were actually unmapped. Put that
accounting in __ttu_anon_swapbacked_folio() itself instead of using goto
jumps at the try_to_unmap_one() callsite.
Similarly, do the finish_folio_unmap_batch() in ttu_anon_folio() itself for the
non-swapbacked lazyfree case.
If the batch length is less than the number of pages in the folio, skip
over this batch. page_vma_mapped_walk() handles this: check_pte() returns
true only if any of [pvmw->pfn, pvmw->pfn + nr_pages) is mapped by the
PTE. Swap PTEs have no underlying PFN, so check_pte() returns false until
the walk reaches the next present PTE to unmap.
Remove the finish_unmap label since no goto callers are left now.
