Subject: [PATCH] mm: alloc_anon_folio: avoid doing vma_thp_gfp_mask in fallback cases
Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2024 20:37:50 +1300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240329073750.20012-1-21cnbao@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@oppo.com>

Fallback rates surpassing 90% have been observed on phones utilizing 64KiB
CONT-PTE mTHP. In these scenarios, when one out of every 16 PTEs fails
to allocate large folios, the remaining 15 PTEs fallback. Consequently,
invoking vma_thp_gfp_mask seems redundant in such cases. Furthermore,
abstaining from its use can also contribute to improved code readability.
