Yu Zhao c0f398c3b2 mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: batch HVO work when demoting
Batch the HVO work, including de-HVO of the source and HVO of the
destination hugeTLB folios, to speed up demotion.

After commit bd225530a4 ("mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix race with speculative
PFN walkers"), each request of HVO or de-HVO, batched or not, invokes
synchronize_rcu() once.  For example, when not batched, demoting one 1GB
hugeTLB folio to 512 2MB hugeTLB folios invokes synchronize_rcu() 513
times (1 de-HVO plus 512 HVO requests), whereas when batched, only twice
(1 de-HVO plus 1 HVO request).  And the performance difference between the
two cases is significant, e.g.,

  echo 2048kB >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote_size
  time echo 100 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote

Before this patch:
  real     8m58.158s
  user     0m0.009s
  sys      0m5.900s

After this patch:
  real     0m0.900s
  user     0m0.000s
  sys      0m0.851s

Note that this patch changes the behavior of the `demote` interface when
de-HVO fails.  Before, the interface aborts immediately upon failure; now,
it tries to finish an entire batch, meaning it can make extra progress if
the rest of the batch contains folios that do not need to de-HVO.

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.
