Subject: [PATCH v8 6/6] mm: page_alloc: reduce unnecessary binary search in early_pfn_valid()
Date:   Wed, 11 Apr 2018 00:21:57 -0700
Message-Id: <1523431317-30612-7-git-send-email-hejianet@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <1523431317-30612-1-git-send-email-hejianet@gmail.com>

Precedence: bulk

Commit b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns
where possible") optimized the loop in memmap_init_zone(). But there is
still some room for improvement. E.g. in early_pfn_valid(), if pfn and
pfn+1 are in the same memblock region, we can record the last returned
memblock region index and check whether pfn++ is still in the same
region.

Currently it only improve the performance on arm/arm64 and will have no
impact on other arches.

For the performance improvement, after this set, I can see the time
overhead of memmap_init() is reduced from 41313 us to 24345 us in my
armv8a server(QDF2400 with 96G memory).
