[PATCHv3 29/41] ext4: make ext4_mpage_readpages() hugepage-aware
This patch modifies ext4_mpage_readpages() to deal with huge pages. We read out 2M at once, so we have to alloc (HPAGE_PMD_NR * blocks_per_page) sector_t for that. I'm not entirely happy with kmalloc in this codepath, but don't see any other option. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

If you're reading 2MB from disk (possibly from disjoint blocks with seeks in between) I don't think that the kmalloc() is going to be the limiting performance factor. If you are concerned about the size of the kmalloc() causing failures when pages are fragmented (it can be 16KB for 1KB blocks with 4KB pages), then using ext4_kvmalloc() to fall back to vmalloc() in case kmalloc() fails. It shouldn't fail often for 16KB allocations, but it could in theory. I also notice that ext4_kvmalloc() should probably use unlikely() for the failure case, so that the uncommon vmalloc() fallback is out-of-line in this more important codepath. The only other callers are during mount, so a branch misprediction is not critical. Cheers, Andreas > > Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
