Subject[PATCH 0/2] mm/hugetlb: follow_hugetlb_page() improvements
Date
Hey,

While looking at ZONE_DEVICE struct page reuse particularly the last
patch[0], I found two possible improvements for follow_hugetlb_page()
which is solely used for get_user_pages()/pin_user_pages().

The first patch batches page refcount updates while the second tidies
up storing the subpages/vmas. Both together bring the cost of slow
variant of gup() cost from ~86k usecs to ~4.4k usecs.

libhugetlbfs tests seem to pass as well gup_test benchmarks
with hugetlbfs vmas.
