Subject: [PATCH v3 5/7] mm: Remember young/dirty bit for page migrations
Date:   Tue,  9 Aug 2022 18:00:58 -0400
Message-Id: <20220809220100.20033-6-peterx@redhat.com>

When page migration happens, we always ignore the young/dirty bit settings
in the old pgtable, and marking the page as old in the new page table using
either pte_mkold() or pmd_mkold(), and keeping the pte clean.

That's fine from functional-wise, but that's not friendly to page reclaim
because the moving page can be actively accessed within the procedure.  Not
to mention hardware setting the young bit can bring quite some overhead on
some systems, e.g. x86_64 needs a few hundreds nanoseconds to set the bit.
The same slowdown problem to dirty bits when the memory is first written
after page migration happened.

Actually we can easily remember the A/D bit configuration and recover the
information after the page is migrated.  To achieve it, define a new set of
bits in the migration swap offset field to cache the A/D bits for old pte.
Then when removing/recovering the migration entry, we can recover the A/D
bits even if the page changed.

One thing to mention is that here we used max_swapfile_size() to detect how
many swp offset bits we have, and we'll only enable this feature if we know
the swp offset can be big enough to store both the PFN value and the young
bit.  Otherwise the A/D bits are dropped like before.
