Yes.

A small nit. There are couple of extra lines in the patch which
can be dropped, probably while merging.

There is indeed more TLB pressure with smaller page sizes but this patch
doesn't change this.

BTW, after reduction of the section size maybe arm64 should consider opting
out of freeing unused memory map.

This will make David even more happy as this will allow dropping custom
pfn_valid() ;-)

There is also the issue of requiring more space in the TLB cache with
smaller page sizes. Or does ARM resolve these into smaller TLB entries
anyways (going on my x86 kwon how here)? Anyways if there are only a few
TLB entries then the effect could
be significant.



[PATCH 1/1] arm64/sparsemem: reduce SECTION_SIZE_BITS

2021-01-20 Thread Sudarshan Rajagopalan
memory_block_size_bytes() determines the memory hotplug granularity i.e the
amount of memory which can be hot added or hot removed from the kernel. The
generic value here being MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE (1UL << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)
for memory_block_size_bytes() on platforms like arm64 that does not override.

Current SECTION_SIZE_BITS is 30 i.e 1GB which is large and a reduction here
increases memory hotplug granularity, thus improving its agility. A reduced
section size also reduces memory wastage in vmemmmap mapping for sections
with large memory holes. So we try to set the least section size as possible.

A section size bits selection must follow:
(MAX_ORDER - 1 + PAGE_SHIFT) <= SECTION_SIZE_BITS

CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER is always defined on arm64 and so just following it
would help achieve the smallest section size.

SECTION_SIZE_BITS = (CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER - 1 + PAGE_SHIFT)

SECTION_SIZE_BITS = 22 (11 - 1 + 12) i.e 4MB   for 4K pages
SECTION_SIZE_BITS = 24 (11 - 1 + 14) i.e 16MB  for 16K pages without THP
SECTION_SIZE_BITS = 25 (12 - 1 + 14) i.e 32MB  for 16K pages with THP
SECTION_SIZE_BITS = 26 (11 - 1 + 16) i.e 64MB  for 64K pages without THP
SECTION_SIZE_BITS = 29 (14 - 1 + 16) i.e 512MB for 64K pages with THP

But there are other problems in reducing SECTION_SIZE_BIT. Reducing it by too
much would over populate /sys/devices/system/memory/ and also consume too many
page->flags bits in the !vmemmap case. Also section size needs to be multiple
of 128MB to have PMD based vmemmap mapping with CONFIG_ARM64_4K_PAGES.

Given these constraints, lets just reduce the section size to 128MB for 4K
and 16K base page size configs, and to 512MB for 64K base page size config.
