migrate_pages: organize stats with struct migrate_pages_stats
Patch series "migrate_pages(): batch TLB flushing", v5. Now, migrate_pages() migrates folios one by one, like the fake code as follows, for each folio unmap flush TLB copy restore map If multiple folios are passed to migrate_pages(), there are opportunities to batch the TLB flushing and copying. That is, we can change the code to something as follows, for each folio unmap for each folio flush TLB for each folio copy for each folio restore map The total number of TLB flushing IPI can be reduced considerably. And we may use some hardware accelerator such as DSA to accelerate the folio copying. So in this patch, we refactor the migrate_pages() implementation and implement the TLB flushing batching. Base on this, hardware accelerated folio copying can be implemented. If too many folios are passed to migrate_pages(), in the naive batched implementation, we may unmap too many folios at the same time. The possibility for a task to wait for the migrated folios to be mapped again increases. So the latency may be hurt. To deal with this issue, the max number of folios be unmapped in batch is restricted to no more than HPAGE_PMD_NR in the unit of page. That is, the influence is at the same level of THP migration. We use the following test to measure the performance impact of the patchset, On a 2-socket Intel server, - Run pmbench memory accessing benchmark - Run `migratepages` to migrate pages of pmbench between node 0 and node 1 back and forth. With the patch, the TLB flushing IPI reduces 99.1% during the test and the number of pages migrated successfully per second increases 291.7%. Xin Hao helped to test the patchset on an ARM64 server with 128 cores, 2 NUMA nodes. Test results show that the page migration performance increases up to 78%. This patch (of 9): Define struct migrate_pages_stats to organize the various statistics in migrate_pages(). This makes it easier to collect and consume the statistics in multiple functions. This will be needed in the following patches in the series.
