Subject: [PATCH -V2] mm,unmap: avoid flushing TLB in batch if PTE is inaccessible

Hi, Andrew,

The version 1 of this patch was merged in mm-unstable branch. If you
want to move that patch into mm-stable recently, it may be better to
update that patch with this new version firstly. If you want to do
that after v6.4-rc1, I will rebase this patch and resend it after
v6.4-rc1 is released.

Hi, Amit,

The patch has been changed based on comments from Xin. I keep your
"reviewed-by" because I think the change is trivial. But if you think
it's inappropriate, I will change that.

Best Regards,
Huang, Ying

------------------------------->8------------------------------------------
0Day/LKP reported a performance regression for commit
7e12beb8ca2a ("migrate_pages: batch flushing TLB"). In the commit, the
TLB flushing during page migration is batched. So, in
try_to_migrate_one(), ptep_clear_flush() is replaced with
set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending(). In further investigation, it is found
that the TLB flushing can be avoided in ptep_clear_flush() if the PTE
is inaccessible. In fact, we can optimize in similar way for the
batched TLB flushing too to improve the performance.

So in this patch, we check pte_accessible() before
set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() in try_to_unmap/migrate_one(). Tests show
that the benchmark score of the anon-cow-rand-mt test case of
vm-scalability test suite can improve up to 2.1% with the patch on a
Intel server machine. The TLB flushing IPI can reduce up to 44.3%.
