Many benchmarks benefit from a larger "page size". As an example, an earlier iteration of this idea which used compound pages (and wasn't particularly tuned) got a 7% performance boost when compiling the kernel. Using compound pages or THPs exposes a serious weakness in our type system. Functions are often unprepared for compound pages to be passed to them, and may only act on PAGE_SIZE chunks. Even functions which are aware of compound pages may expect a head page, and do the wrong thing if passed a tail page. There have been efforts to label function parameters as 'head' instead of 'page' to indicate that the function expects a head page, but this leaves us with runtime assertions instead of using the compiler to prove that nobody has mistakenly passed a tail page. Calling a struct page 'head' is also inaccurate as they will work perfectly well on base pages. We also waste a lot of instructions ensuring that we're not looking at a tail page. Almost every call to PageFoo() contains one or more hidden calls to compound_head(). This also happens for get_page(), put_page() and many more functions. There does not appear to be a way to tell gcc that it can cache the result of compound_head(), nor is there a way to tell it that compound_head() is idempotent. This series introduces the 'struct folio' as a replacement for head-or-base pages. This initial set reduces the kernel size by approximately 6kB by removing conversions from tail pages to head pages. The real purpose of this series is adding infrastructure to enable further use of the folio. The medium-term goal is to convert all filesystems and some device drivers to work in terms of folios. This series contains a lot of explicit conversions, but it's important to realise it's removing a lot of implicit conversions in some relatively hot paths. There will be very few conversions from folios when this work is completed; filesystems, the page cache, the LRU and so on will generally only deal with folios. I analysed the text size reduction using a config based on Oracle UEK with all modules changed to built-in. That's obviously not a kernel which makes sense to run, but it serves to compare the effects on (many common) filesystems & drivers, not just the core. add/remove: 33652/33642 grow/shrink: 1799/1955 up/down: 895792/-901770 (-5978) For a "just the core" comparison, here's an allnoconfig comparison: add/remove: 201/197 grow/shrink: 9/29 up/down: 7523/-8797 (-1274) Current tree at: https://git.infradead.org/users/willy/pagecache.git/shortlog/refs/heads/folio (contains another ~100 patches on top of this batch, not all of which are in good shape for submission) v7: - Rebase on next-20210409 - keep up with afs changes - wait_on_page_fscache() no longer needs to be modified - unlock_page_private_2() changed to end_page_private_2() - wait_on_page_private_2() is new - wait_on_page_private_2_killable() is new - Optimise nth_page() instead of avoiding it (Christoph, Kirill) - Use nth_page() in folio_file_page() - Use static_assert() for FOLIO_MATCH (Rasmus) - Add a FOLIO_MATCH that lru and compound_head are at the same offset - Make page_count() use folio_ref_count() instead of page_ref_count() v6: - Rebase on next-20210330 - wait_bit_key patch merged by Linus - wait_on_page_writeback_killable() patches merged by Linus - Documentation patch merged by Andrew - Move folio_next_index() into this series - Move folio_offset() and folio_file_offset() into this series - Mirror members of struct page (for pagecache / anon) into struct folio, so (eg) you can use folio->mapping instead of folio->page.mapping - Add folio_ref_* functions, including kernel-doc for folio_ref_count(). - Add count_memcg_folio_event() - Add put_folio_testzero() - Add folio_mapcount() - Add FolioKsm() - Fix afs_page_mkwrite() compilation - Fix/improve kernel-doc for - struct folio - add_folio_wait_queue() - wait_for_stable_folio() - wait_on_folio_writeback() - wait_on_folio_writeback_killable() v5: - Rebase on next-20210319 - Pull out three bug-fix patches to the front of the series, allowing them to be applied earlier. - Fix folio_page() against pages being moved between swap & page cache - Fix FolioDoubleMap to use the right page flags - Rename next_folio() to folio_next() (akpm) - Renamed folio stat functions (akpm) - Add 'mod' versions of the folio stats for users that already have 'nr' - Renamed folio_page to folio_file_page() (akpm) - Added kernel-doc for struct folio, folio_next(), folio_index(), folio_file_page(), folio_contains(), folio_order(), folio_nr_pages(), folio_shift(), folio_size(), page_folio(), get_folio(), put_folio() - Make folio_private() work in terms of void * instead of unsigned long - Used page_folio() in attach/detach page_private() (hch) - Drop afs_page_mkwrite folio conversion from this series - Add wait_on_folio_writeback_killable() - Convert add_page_wait_queue() to add_folio_wait_queue() - Add folio_swap_entry() helper - Drop the additions of *FolioFsCache - Simplify the addition of lock_folio_memcg() et al - Drop test_clear_page_writeback() conversion from this series - Add FolioTransHuge() definition - Rename __folio_file_mapping() to swapcache_mapping() - Added swapcache_index() helper - Removed lock_folio_async() - Made __lock_folio_async() static to filemap.c - Converted unlock_page_private_2() to use a folio internally v4: - Rebase on current Linus tree (including swap fix) - Analyse each patch in terms of its effects on kernel text size. A few were modified to improve their effect. In particular, where pushing calls to page_folio() into the callers resulted in unacceptable size increases, the wrapper was placed in mm/folio-compat.c. This lets us see all the places which are good targets for conversion to folios. - Some of the patches were reordered, split or merged in order to make more logical sense. - Use nth_page() for folio_next() if we're using SPARSEMEM and not VMEMMAP (Zi Yan) - Increment and decrement page stats in units of pages instead of units of folios (Zi Yan) v3: - Rebase on next-20210127. Two major sources of conflict, the generic_file_buffered_read refactoring (in akpm tree) and the fscache work (in dhowells tree). v2: - Pare patch series back to just infrastructure and the page waiting parts.
