mm,unmap: avoid flushing TLB in batch if PTE is inaccessible
0Day/LKP reported a performance regression for commit 7e12beb8 ("migrate_pages: batch flushing TLB"). In the commit, the TLB flushing during page migration is batched. So, in try_to_migrate_one(), ptep_clear_flush() is replaced with set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending(). In further investigation, it is found that the TLB flushing can be avoided in ptep_clear_flush() if the PTE is inaccessible. In fact, we can optimize in similar way for the batched TLB flushing too to improve the performance. So in this patch, we check pte_accessible() before set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() in try_to_unmap/migrate_one(). Tests show that the benchmark score of the anon-cow-rand-mt test case of vm-scalability test suite can improve up to 2.1% with the patch on a Intel server machine. The TLB flushing IPI can reduce up to 44.3%.
