When the user no longer requires the pages, they would use madvise(MADV_FREE) to mark the pages as lazy free. Subsequently, they typically would not re-write to that memory again. During memory reclaim, if we detect that the large folio and its PMD are both still marked as clean and there are no unexpected references (such as GUP), so we can just discard the memory lazily, improving the efficiency of memory reclamation in this case. On an Intel i5 CPU, reclaiming 1GiB of lazyfree THPs using mem_cgroup_force_empty() results in the following runtimes in seconds (shorter is better): -------------------------------------------- | Old | New | Change | -------------------------------------------- | 0.683426 | 0.049197 | -92.80% | -------------------------------------------- [ioworker0@gmail.com: minor changes per David] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240622100057.3352-1-ioworker0@gmail.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240614015138.31461-4-ioworker0@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Lance Yang <ioworker0@gmail.com> Suggested-by: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com> Suggested-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Bang Li <libang.li@antgroup.com> Cc: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: Barry Song <baohua@kernel.org> Cc: Fangrui Song <maskray@google.com> Cc: Jeff Xie <xiehuan09@gmail.com> Cc: Kefeng Wang <wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com> Cc: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> Cc: Ryan Roberts <ryan.roberts@arm.com> Cc: SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org> Cc: Yang Shi <shy828301@gmail.com> Cc: Yin Fengwei <fengwei.yin@intel.com> Cc: Zach O'Keefe <zokeefe@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
