Subject: [mm PATCH 0/5] Deferred page init improvements
Date: Fri, 05 Oct 2018 15:11:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181005151006.17473.83040.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

This patchset is essentially a refactor of the page initialization logic
that is meant to provide for better code reuse while providing a
significant improvement in deferred page initialization performance.

In my testing I have seen a 60% reduction in the time needed for deferred
memory initialization on two different x86_64 based test systems I have. In
addition this provides a very slight improvement for the hotplug memory 
initialization, although the improvement doesn't exceed 5% from what I can
tell and that is to be expected since most of the changes related to
hotplug init are mostly just code clean-up to allow for reuse.

The biggest gains of this patchset come from not having to test each pfn
multiple times to see if it is valid and if it is actually a part of the
node being initialized.

      mm: Use mm_zero_struct_page from SPARC on all 64b architectures
      mm: Drop meminit_pfn_in_nid as it is redundant
      mm: Use memblock/zone specific iterator for handling deferred page init
      mm: Move hot-plug specific memory init into separate functions and optimize
      mm: Use common iterator for deferred_init_pages and deferred_free_pages
