Subject[PATCH] mm/mmap: move vma operations to mm_struct out of the critical section of file mapping lock
Date
UnixBench/Execl represents a class of workload where bash scripts are
spawned frequently to do some short jobs. When running multiple parallel
tasks, hot osq_lock is observed from do_mmap and exit_mmap. Both of them
come from load_elf_binary through the call chain
"execl->do_execveat_common->bprm_execve->load_elf_binary". In do_mmap,it will
call mmap_region to create vma node, initialize it and insert it to vma
maintain structure in mm_struct and i_mmap tree of the mapping file, then
increase map_count to record the number of vma nodes used. The hot osq_lock
is to protect operations on file’s i_mmap tree. For the mm_struct member
change like vma insertion and map_count update, they do not affect i_mmap
tree. Move those operations out of the lock's critical section, to reduce
hold time on the lock.

With this change, on Intel Sapphire Rapids 112C/224T platform, based on
v6.0-rc6, the 160 parallel score improves by 12%. The patch has no
obvious performance gain on v6.4-rc4 due to regression of this benchmark
from this commit f1a7941243c102a44e8847e3b94ff4ff3ec56f25 (mm: convert
mm's rss stats into percpu_counter). Related discussion and conclusion
