mm: introduce vm_ops->map_pages()

Here's new version of faultaround patchset. It took a while to tune it and collect performance data. First patch adds new callback ->map_pages to vm_operations_struct. ->map_pages() is called when VM asks to map easy accessible pages. Filesystem should find and map pages associated with offsets from "pgoff" till "max_pgoff". ->map_pages() is called with page table locked and must not block. If it's not possible to reach a page without blocking, filesystem should skip it. Filesystem should use do_set_pte() to setup page table entry. Pointer to entry associated with offset "pgoff" is passed in "pte" field in vm_fault structure. Pointers to entries for other offsets should be calculated relative to "pte". Currently VM use ->map_pages only on read page fault path. We try to map FAULT_AROUND_PAGES a time. FAULT_AROUND_PAGES is 16 for now. Performance data for different FAULT_AROUND_ORDER is below. TODO: - implement ->map_pages() for shmem/tmpfs; - modify get_user_pages() to be able to use ->map_pages() and implement mmap(MAP_POPULATE|MAP_NONBLOCK) on top. ========================================================================= Tested on 4-socket machine (120 threads) with 128GiB of RAM. Few real-world workloads. The sweet spot for FAULT_AROUND_ORDER here is somewhere between 3 and 5. Let's say 4 :) Linux build (make -j60) FAULT_AROUND_ORDER Baseline 1 3 4 5 7 9 minor-faults 283,301,572 247,151,987 212,215,789 204,772,882 199,568,944 194,703,779 193,381,485 time, seconds 151.227629483 153.920996480 151.356125472 150.863792049 150.879207877 151.150764954 151.450962358 Linux rebuild (make -j60) FAULT_AROUND_ORDER Baseline 1 3 4 5 7 9 minor-faults 5,396,854 4,148,444 2,855,286 2,577,282 2,361,957 2,169,573 2,112,643 time, seconds 27.404543757 27.559725591 27.030057426 26.855045126 26.678618635 26.974523490 26.761320095 Git test suite (make -j60 test) FAULT_AROUND_ORDER Baseline 1 3 4 5 7 9 minor-faults 129,591,823 99,200,751 66,106,718 57,606,410 51,510,808 45,776,813 44,085,515 time, seconds 66.087215026 64.784546905 64.401156567 65.282708668 66.034016829 66.793780811 67.237810413 Two synthetic tests: access every word in file in sequential/random order.

On read page fault, if filesystem provides ->map_pages(), we try to map up to FAULT_AROUND_PAGES pages around page fault address in hope to reduce number of minor page faults. We call ->map_pages first and use ->fault() as fallback if page by the offset is not ready to be mapped (cold page cache or something). Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
