[PATCH v4 1/1] mm/highmem: Remove deprecated kmap_atomic

[Prathu Baronia]

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com>

kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().

Replace the uses of kmap_atomic() within the highmem code.

On profiling clear_huge_page() using ftrace an improvement
of 62% was observed on the below setup.

Setup:-
Below data has been collected on Qualcomm's SM7250 SoC THP enabled
(kernel v4.19.113) with only CPU-0(Cortex-A55) and CPU-7(Cortex-A76)
switched on and set to max frequency, also DDR set to perf governor.

FTRACE Data:-

Base data:-
Number of iterations: 48
Mean of allocation time: 349.5 us
std deviation: 74.5 us

v4 data:-
Number of iterations: 48
Mean of allocation time: 131 us
std deviation: 32.7 us

The following simple userspace experiment to allocate
100MB(BUF_SZ) of pages and writing to it gave us a good insight,
we observed an improvement of 42% in allocation and writing timings.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Test code snippet
-------------------------------------------------------------
      clock_start();
      buf = malloc(BUF_SZ); /* Allocate 100 MB of memory */

        for(i=0; i < BUF_SZ_PAGES; i++)
        {
                *((int *)(buf + (i*PAGE_SIZE))) = 1;
        }
      clock_end();
-------------------------------------------------------------

Malloc test timings for 100MB anon allocation:-

Base data:-
Number of iterations: 100
Mean of allocation time: 31831 us
std deviation: 4286 us

v4 data:-
Number of iterations: 100
Mean of allocation time: 18193 us
std deviation: 4915 us

This already has my signed off by so I'm not going to 'review'.  With Prathu's
testing information I hope this can land.

Andrew did you see this patch?

This patch seems to have slipped through the gaps for a couple of cycles

kmap_local_page()

I'm ok with this.  I'm not sure if Prathu needed this or not.

Also I wonder if memset_page could be used?  It would end up mapping the page
2x sometimes.

As an aside I think flush_dcache_page() needs to be in memset_page() for
completeness but I'm a bit afraid of adding it with the current controversy...
:-/

Anyway, why hasn't Brathu's patch[1] landed yet?

I just checked 5.15 and it is not there?  I don't even see it in the 5.16
merge?  Perhaps it is coming in this merge window?  Andrew?

Check!  Yea this works for me...

I think this should to through as a separate patch because Prathu's has been
soaking for some time.  No need to complicate it with this.

FWIW you can add:

Reviewed-by: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com>

This isn't "complicating Prathu's patch".  This is "fixing up the bit
that Prathu missed with his patch".  zero_user_segments() should not
have different rules on HIGHMEM and non-HIGHMEM kernels.

That was the point of this function existing, to avoid the
double-mapping.

Looks like we now have agreement that it does need to be added, and I
agree with you; send a patch.

At some point, I'm probably going to need to foliate the mem*_page
helpers.  I've just added:

static inline void folio_zero_segments(struct folio *folio,
                size_t start1, size_t end1, size_t start2, size_t end2)
{
        zero_user_segments(&folio->page, start1, end1, start2, end2);
}

static inline void folio_zero_segment(struct folio *folio,
                size_t start, size_t end)
{
        zero_user_segments(&folio->page, start, end, 0, 0);
}

static inline void folio_zero_range(struct folio *folio,
                size_t start, size_t length)
{
        zero_user_segments(&folio->page, start, start + length, 0, 0);
}

but I imagine when we foliate btrfs, we'll need to expand the helpers.
I'll probably do something similar to zero_user_segments; have
out-of-line versions for HIGHMEM and inline versions for !HIGHMEM
(we can do the entire folio with HIGHMEM, but need to go page-by-page
on !HIGHMEM).

What do you mean by 'different rules'?

Oh I see...  Ok yea.

Well this should not be a big deal...

Hi Mathew,
Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation. I can see that you
already fixed up the patch(added the zero_user_segments part) and the
patch[1] is now merged in the mainline. Thanks for fixing it up. Also
for the memset_page() thing, IIUC would the below diff suffice?
