v2:
- patch 1: rename s/threads/nthreads/; assert() on pthread create/destroy [John]
- patch 2:
- rewrite commit message [John, Linus]
- use parentheses [Linus]
- patch 3:
- define mm_set_has_pinned_flag() helper and use it [John, Linus, Matthew]
- keep has_pinned comment but move to MMF_HAS_PINNED [John]
This series contains 3 patches, the 1st one enables threading for gup_benchmark
in the kselftest. The latter two patches are collected from Andrea's local
branch which can fix write cache bouncing issue with pinning fast-gup.
To be explicit on the latter two patches:
- the 2nd patch fixes the perf degrade when introducing has_pinned, then
- the last patch tries to remove the has_pinned with a bit in mm->flags
For patch 3: originally I think we had a plan to reuse has_pinned into a
counter very soon, however that's not happening at least until today, so maybe
it proves that we can remove it until we really want such a counter for
whatever reason. As the commit message stated, it saves 4 bytes for each mm
without observable regressions.
Regarding testing: we can reference to the commit message of patch 2 for some
detailed testing with will-is-scale. Meanwhile I did patch 1 just because then
we can even easily verify the patchset using the existing kselftest facilities
or even regress test it in the future with the repo if we want.
Below numbers are extra verification tests that I did besides commit message of
patch 2 using the new gup_benchmark and 256 cpus. Below test is done on 40
cpus host with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v4 @ 2.20GHz, and I can get similar
result (of course the write cache bouncing get severe with even more cores).
After patch 1 applied (only test patch, so using old kernel):

Summary:
Old kernel: 477729.97 (+-3.79%)
New kernel: 89144.65 (+-11.76%)
I'm not sure whether I should add Fixes for patch 2. If to add it'll be:
Fixes: 008cfe4418b3d ("mm: Introduce mm_struct.has_pinned")
Then cc stable for 5.9+. However I'll skip adding it if no one asks, as this
is a perf fix, and frequent+concurrent pinning should not really happen that much.
Please review, thanks.
Andrea Arcangeli (2):
mm: gup: allow FOLL_PIN to scale in SMP
mm: gup: pack has_pinned in MMF_HAS_PINNED
