0Day/LKP reported a performance regression for commit7e12beb8ca("migrate_pages: batch flushing TLB"). In the commit, the TLB flushing during page migration is batched. So, in try_to_migrate_one(), ptep_clear_flush() is replaced with set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending(). In further investigation, it is found that the TLB flushing can be avoided in ptep_clear_flush() if the PTE is inaccessible. In fact, we can optimize in similar way for the batched TLB flushing too to improve the performance. So in this patch, we check pte_accessible() before set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() in try_to_unmap/migrate_one(). Tests show that the benchmark score of the anon-cow-rand-mt test case of vm-scalability test suite can improve up to 2.1% with the patch on a Intel server machine. The TLB flushing IPI can reduce up to 44.3%.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
