Commit Message

A compound devmap is a dev_pagemap with @vmemmap_shift > 0 and it
means that pages are mapped at a given huge page alignment and utilize
uses compound pages as opposed to order-0 pages.

Take advantage of the fact that most tail pages look the same (except
the first two) to minimize struct page overhead. Allocate a separate
page for the vmemmap area which contains the head page and separate for
the next 64 pages. The rest of the subsections then reuse this tail
vmemmap page to initialize the rest of the tail pages.

Sections are arch-dependent (e.g. on x86 it's 64M, 128M or 512M) and
when initializing compound devmap with big enough @vmemmap_shift (e.g.
1G PUD) it may cross multiple sections. The vmemmap code needs to
consult @pgmap so that multiple sections that all map the same tail
data can refer back to the first copy of that data for a given
gigantic page.

On compound devmaps with 2M align, this mechanism lets 6 pages be
saved out of the 8 necessary PFNs necessary to set the subsection's
512 struct pages being mapped. On a 1G compound devmap it saves
4094 pages.

Altmap isn't supported yet, given various restrictions in altmap pfn
allocator, thus fallback to the already in use vmemmap_populate().  It
is worth noting that altmap for devmap mappings was there to relieve the
pressure of inordinate amounts of memmap space to map terabytes of pmem.
With compound pages the motivation for altmaps for pmem gets reduced.

 more than one struct page struct with PG_head (e.g. 8 per 2 MB HugeTLB page)
 associated with each HugeTLB page. The compound_head() can handle this
 correctly (more details refer to the comment above compound_head()).
+
+Device DAX
+==========
+
+The device-dax interface uses the same tail deduplication technique explained
+in the previous chapter, except when used with the vmemmap in
+the device (altmap).
+
+The following page sizes are supported in DAX: PAGE_SIZE (4K on x86_64),
+PMD_SIZE (2M on x86_64) and PUD_SIZE (1G on x86_64).
+
+The differences with HugeTLB are relatively minor.
+
+It only use 3 page structs for storing all information as opposed
+to 4 on HugeTLB pages.
+
+There's no remapping of vmemmap given that device-dax memory is not part of
+System RAM ranges initialized at boot. Thus the tail page deduplication
+happens at a later stage when we populate the sections. HugeTLB reuses the
+the head vmemmap page representing, whereas device-dax reuses the tail
+vmemmap page. This results in only half of the savings compared to HugeTLB.
+
+Deduplicated tail pages are not mapped read-only.
+
+Here's how things look like on device-dax after the sections are populated::
