mm/compaction: speed up pageblock_pfn_to_page() when zone is contiguous
There is a performance drop report due to hugepage allocation and in
there half of cpu time are spent on pageblock_pfn_to_page() in
compaction [1].
In that workload, compaction is triggered to make hugepage but most of
pageblocks are un-available for compaction due to pageblock type and
skip bit so compaction usually fails. Most costly operations in this
case is to find valid pageblock while scanning whole zone range. To
check if pageblock is valid to compact, valid pfn within pageblock is
required and we can obtain it by calling pageblock_pfn_to_page(). This
function checks whether pageblock is in a single zone and return valid
pfn if possible. Problem is that we need to check it every time before
scanning pageblock even if we re-visit it and this turns out to be very
expensive in this workload.
Although we have no way to skip this pageblock check in the system where
hole exists at arbitrary position, we can use cached value for zone
continuity and just do pfn_to_page() in the system where hole doesn't
exist. This optimization considerably speeds up in above workload.
Before vs After
Max: 1096 MB/s vs 1325 MB/s
Min: 635 MB/s 1015 MB/s
Avg: 899 MB/s 1194 MB/s
Avg is improved by roughly 30% [2].
