From 319a624ec2b79db7a0b0a2a2a61e3aa5c96eabfc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zi Yan Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2024 15:55:27 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] mm/huge_memory: only split PMD mapping when necessary in unmap_folio() Patch series "Split a folio to any lower order folios", v5. File folio supports any order and multi-size THP is upstreamed[1], so both file and anonymous folios can be >0 order. Currently, split_huge_page() only splits a huge page to order-0 pages, but splitting to orders higher than 0 might better utilize large folios, if done properly. In addition, Large Block Sizes in XFS support would benefit from it during truncate[2]. This patchset adds support for splitting a large folio to any lower order folios. In addition to this implementation of split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(), a possible optimization could be splitting a large folio to arbitrary smaller folios instead of a single order. As both Hugh and Ryan pointed out [3,5] that split to a single order might not be optimal, an order-9 folio might be better split into 1 order-8, 1 order-7, ..., 1 order-1, and 2 order-0 folios, depending on subsequent folio operations. Leave this as future work.

Make it conditional.
