Subject[PATCH mm-unstable v2 10/10] mm: multi-gen LRU: use mmu_notifier_test_clear_young()
From
Use mmu_notifier_test_clear_young() to handle KVM PTEs in batches
when the fast path is supported. This reduces the contention on
kvm->mmu_lock when the host is under heavy memory pressure.

An existing selftest can quickly demonstrate the effectiveness of
this patch. On a generic workstation equipped with 128 CPUs and 256GB
DRAM:

$ sudo max_guest_memory_test -c 64 -m 250 -s 250

7.34% _raw_write_lock

kswapd (MGLRU after)
100.00% balance_pgdat
100.00% shrink_node
100.00% shrink_one
99.99% try_to_shrink_lruvec
99.59% evict_folios
80.37% shrink_folio_list
==>> 3.74% folio_referenced
3.59% rmap_walk_file
3.19% folio_referenced_one
2.53% lru_gen_look_around
1.06% __mmu_notifier_test_clear_young

[1] "mm: rmap: Don't flush TLB after checking PTE young for page
reference" was included so that the comparison is apples to
apples.
