[mm PATCH v4 6/6] mm: Use common iterator for deferred_init_pages and deferred_free_pages

From: Alexander Duyck
Date: Wed Oct 17 2018 - 19:55:42 EST


This patch creates a common iterator to be used by both deferred_init_pages
and deferred_free_pages. By doing this we can cut down a bit on code
overhead as they will likely both be inlined into the same function anyway.

This new approach allows deferred_init_pages to make use of
__init_pageblock. By doing this we can cut down on the code size by sharing
code between both the hotplug and deferred memory init code paths.

An additional benefit to this approach is that we improve in cache locality
of the memory init as we can focus on the memory areas related to
identifying if a given PFN is valid and keep that warm in the cache until
we transition to a region of a different type. So we will stream through a
chunk of valid blocks before we turn to initializing page structs.

On my x86_64 test system with 384GB of memory per node I saw a reduction in
initialization time from 1.38s to 1.06s as a result of this patch.
