kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page(). Replace the uses of kmap_atomic() within the highmem code. On profiling clear_huge_page() using ftrace an improvement of 62% was observed on the below setup. Setup:- Below data has been collected on Qualcomm's SM7250 SoC THP enabled (kernel v4.19.113) with only CPU-0(Cortex-A55) and CPU-7(Cortex-A76) switched on and set to max frequency, also DDR set to perf governor. FTRACE Data:- Base data:- Number of iterations: 48 Mean of allocation time: 349.5 us std deviation: 74.5 us v4 data:- Number of iterations: 48 Mean of allocation time: 131 us std deviation: 32.7 us The following simple userspace experiment to allocate 100MB(BUF_SZ) of pages and writing to it gave us a good insight, we observed an improvement of 42% in allocation and writing timings. ------------------------------------------------------------- Test code snippet ------------------------------------------------------------- clock_start(); buf = malloc(BUF_SZ); /* Allocate 100 MB of memory */ for(i=0; i < BUF_SZ_PAGES; i++) { *((int *)(buf + (i*PAGE_SIZE))) = 1; } clock_end(); ------------------------------------------------------------- Malloc test timings for 100MB anon allocation:- Base data:- Number of iterations: 100 Mean of allocation time: 31831 us std deviation: 4286 us v4 data:- Number of iterations: 100 Mean of allocation time: 18193 us std deviation: 4915 us [willy@infradead.org: fix zero_user_segments()] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/YYVhHCJcm2DM2G9u@casper.infradead.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210204073255.20769-2-prathu.baronia@oneplus.comSigned-off-by: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Prathu Baronia <prathu.baronia@oneplus.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
