I have the following observations: 1) All truncate_inode_pages(), invalidate_mapping_pages(), invalidate_inode_pages2_range() essentially do very similar thing and would benefit from a similar kind of batching. 2) As you observed and measured, batching of radix tree operations makes sense both when removing pages and shadow entries, I'm very confident it would make sense for DAX exceptional entries as well. 3) In all cases (i.e., those three functions and for all entry types) the workflow seems to be: * lockless lookup of entries * prepare entry for reclaim (or determine it is not elligible) * lock mapping->tree_lock * verify entry is still elligible for reclaim (otherwise bail) * clear radix tree entry * unlock mapping->tree_lock * final cleanup of the entry So I'm wondering whether we cannot somehow refactor stuff so that batching of radix tree operations could be shared and we wouldn't have to duplicate it in all those cases. But it would be rather large overhaul of the code so it may be a bit out of scope for these improvements... > @@ -409,8 +445,8 @@ void truncate_inode_pages_range(struct address_space *mapping, > } > > if (radix_tree_exceptional_entry(page)) { > - truncate_exceptional_entry(mapping, index, > - page); > + if (ei != PAGEVEC_SIZE) > + ei = i; This should be ei == PAGEVEC_SIZE I think.
