Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] mm/migrate: walk runs of consecutive pages in do_pages_stat_array()
Date: Fri, 02 Oct 2026 09:25:26 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002-bug-mm-move-pages-stat-batch-v2-1-f73b5d20519f@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002-bug-mm-move-pages-stat-batch-v2-0-f73b5d20519f@gmail.com>
move_pages() with a NULL node list reports the node of each page. RDMA
and KV-cache transfer engines use it to find where large registered
buffers live, querying every 4K page of buffers that span hundreds of
gigabytes.
do_pages_stat_array() looks up the VMA and walks the page tables from
the top for every address, taking and dropping the PTE lock each time.
That costs about 105 ns per page, so a 16 GiB buffer takes 486 ms.
Callers almost always pass consecutive addresses. Group them into runs
and walk each run with walk_page_range(), which looks up each VMA and
PTE table once and answers every page under it while holding the lock.
Report pages as folio_walk_start() with FW_ZEROPAGE found them: the node
of a normal folio, -EFAULT for the zero page or an address outside any
VMA, and -ENOENT otherwise. Handle PUD and hugetlb leaves in their own
callbacks so that the walk never splits them.
On 7.3-rc5 in a 16-vCPU VM, querying every page of a populated 4 GiB
buffer:
before after
4K pages 105 ns 31.9 ns
THP 90 ns 23.1 ns
