powerpc/mm/book3s64: Avoid sending IPI on clearing PMD
Now that all the lockless page table walk is careful w.r.t the PTE address returned, we can now revert commit: 13bd817bb884 ("powerpc/thp: Serialize pmd clear against a linux page table walk.") We also drop the equivalent IPI from other pte updates routines. We still keep IPI in hash pmdp collapse and that is to take care of parallel hash page table insert. The radix pmdp collapse flush can possibly be removed once I am sure generic code doesn't have the any expectations around parallel gup walk. This speeds up Qemu guest RAM del/unplug time as below 128 core, 496GB guest: Without patch: munmap start: timer = 13162 ms, PID=7684 munmap finish: timer = 95312 ms, PID=7684 - delta = 82150 ms With patch: munmap start: timer = 196449 ms, PID=6681 munmap finish: timer = 196488 ms, PID=6681 - delta = 39ms Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200505071729.54912-21-aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com
