[PATCH v2 1/6] mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: batch-update PTEs

Yu Zhao yuzhao at google.com
Thu Nov 7 12:20:28 PST 2024


Convert vmemmap_remap_walk->remap_pte to ->remap_pte_range so that
vmemmap remap walks can batch-update PTEs.

The goal of this conversion is to allow architectures to implement
their own optimizations if possible, e.g., only to stop remote CPUs
once for each batch when updating vmemmap on arm64. It is not intended
to change the remap workflow nor should it by itself have any side
effects on performance.
