I assume this is the same as your 'features/granule_perf/contpte-lkml_v' branch on https://gitlab.arm.com/linux-arm/linux-rr/ I've taken a quick look, and I have a few initial/superficial comments before digging into the detail on the important changes. > Patch Layout > ============ > > In this version, I've split the patches to better show each optimization: > > - 1-2: mm prep: misc code and docs cleanups I'm not confident enough to comment on patch 2, but these look reasonable to me. > - 3-8: mm,arm,arm64,powerpc,x86 prep: Replace pte_next_pfn() with more > general pte_advance_pfn() These look fine to me. > - 9-18: arm64 prep: Refactor ptep helpers into new layer The result of patches 9-17 looks good to me, but the intermediate stages where some functions are converted is a bit odd, and it's a bit painful for review since you need to skip ahead a few patches to see the end result to tell that the conversions are consistent and complete. IMO it'd be easier for review if that were three patches: 1) Convert READ_ONCE() -> ptep_get() 2) Convert set_pte_at() -> set_ptes() 3) All the "New layer" renames and addition of the trivial wrappers Patch 18 looks fine to me. > - 19: functional contpte implementation > - 20-25: various optimizations on top of the contpte implementation I'll try to dig into these over the next few days. Mark.
