Subject: [PATCH 4/4] arm64: tlb: set huge page size to stride for hugepage

It is better to use huge_page_size() for hugepage(HugeTLB) instead of
PAGE_SIZE for stride, which has been done in flush_pmd/pud_tlb_range(),
it could reduce the loop in __flush_tlb_range().

seems like a good idea.

I wonder if a better implementation will be MMU_GATHER_PAGE_SIZE, in this case,
we are going to support stride for other large folios as well, such as thp.

BTW, in most cases we have already had right stride:

arch/arm64/include/asm/tlb.h has already this to get stride:

static inline void tlb_flush(struct mmu_gather *tlb)
{
struct vm_area_struct vma = TLB_FLUSH_VMA(tlb->mm, 0);
bool last_level = !tlb->freed_tables;
unsigned long stride = tlb_get_unmap_size(tlb);
int tlb_level = tlb_get_level(tlb);

/*
* If we're tearing down the address space then we only care about
* invalidating the walk-cache, since the ASID allocator won't
* reallocate our ASID without invalidating the entire TLB.
*/
if (tlb->fullmm) {
if (!last_level)
flush_tlb_mm(tlb->mm);
return;
}

__flush_tlb_range(&vma, tlb->start, tlb->end, stride,
last_level, tlb_level);
}

You are right. I was thinking of those zap_pte/pmd_range cases especially
for those vmas where large folios engage. but it is not very relevant.
In that case, one vma might have mixed different folio sizes.
your patch, for sure, will benefit hugetlb with arm64 contiguous bits.

This won't work if we use the contiguous PTE to get 64K hugetlb pages on
a 4K base page configuration. The 16 base pages in the range would have
to be invalidated individually (the contig PTE bit is just a hint, the
hardware may or may not take it into account).

Got it, the contig huge page is depended on hardware implementation,
but for normal hugepage(2M/1G), we could use this, right?

Right. Only the pmd/pud cases.
