From bd4c82c22c367e068acb1ec9ec02be2fac3e09e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Huang Ying Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2017 16:22:49 -0700 Subject: mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP after swapped out In this patch, splitting transparent huge page (THP) during swapping out is delayed from after adding the THP into the swap cache to after swapping out finishes. After the patch, more operations for the anonymous THP reclaiming, such as writing the THP to the swap device, removing the THP from the swap cache could be batched. So that the performance of anonymous THP swapping out could be improved. This is the second step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 42% (from about 5.81GB/s to about 8.25GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 16 processes. At the same time, the IPI (reflect TLB flushing) reduced about 78.9%. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up.
