mm/gup: accelerate thp gup even for "pages != NULL"
The acceleration of THP was done with ctx.page_mask, however it'll be ignored if **pages is non-NULL. The old optimization was introduced in 2013 in 240aadee ("mm: accelerate mm_populate() treatment of THP pages"). It didn't explain why we can't optimize the **pages non-NULL case. It's possible that at that time the major goal was for mm_populate() which should be enough back then. Optimize thp for all cases, by properly looping over each subpage, doing cache flushes, and boost refcounts / pincounts where needed in one go. This can be verified using gup_test below: # chrt -f 1 ./gup_test -m 512 -t -L -n 1024 -r 10 Before: 13992.50 ( +-8.75%) After: 378.50 (+-69.62%) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230628215310.73782-6-peterx@redhat.comSigned-off-by: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Lorenzo Stoakes <lstoakes@gmail.com> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: James Houghton <jthoughton@google.com> Cc: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com> Cc: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Cc: Kirill A .
