[PATCH 8/8] mm: Remove __GFP_COLD

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Thu Oct 12 2017 - 05:32:47 EST

As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold
pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that
allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of
__GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying
other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the
__GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page
allocator.

This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the
per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu
list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential benefit
for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's even worse
when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance of getting a
cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the zeroing of multiple
pages will thrash the cache anyway.

The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the
allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was
tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising given
that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the fault path.
