Zhiguo reported that swap release could be a serious bottleneck during
process exits[1]. With mTHP, we have the opportunity to batch free swaps.
Thanks to the work of Chris and Kairui[2], I was able to achieve this
optimization with minimal code changes by building on their efforts.
If swap_count is 1, which is likely true as most anon memory are private,
we can free all contiguous swap slots all together.
Ran the below test program for measuring the bandwidth of munmap
using zRAM and 64KiB mTHP:
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
unsigned long long tv_to_ms(struct timeval tv)
{
return tv.tv_sec * 1000 + tv.tv_usec / 1000;
}
main()
{
struct timeval tv_b, tv_e;
int i;
#define SIZE 1024*1024*1024
void *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
if (!p) {
perror("fail to get memory");
exit(-1);
}
madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_HUGEPAGE);
memset(p, 0x11, SIZE); /* write to get mem */
madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
gettimeofday(&tv_b, NULL);
munmap(p, SIZE);
gettimeofday(&tv_e, NULL);
printf("munmap in bandwidth: %ld bytes/ms\n",
SIZE/(tv_to_ms(tv_e) - tv_to_ms(tv_b)));
}
The result is as below (munmap bandwidth):
mm-unstable mm-unstable-with-patch
round1 21053761 63161283
round2 21053761 63161283
round3 21053761 63161283
round4 20648881 67108864
round5 20648881 67108864
munmap bandwidth becomes 3X faster.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
