mm/memory_hotplug: optimize memory hotplug
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
During memory hotplugging we traverse struct pages three times:

1. memset(0) in sparse_add_one_section()
2. loop in __add_section() to set do: set_page_node(page, nid); and
   SetPageReserved(page);
3. loop in memmap_init_zone() to call __init_single_pfn()

This patch removes the first two loops, and leaves only loop 3.  All
struct pages are initialized in one place, the same as it is done during
boot.

The benefits:

 - We improve memory hotplug performance because we are not evicting the
   cache several times and also reduce loop branching overhead.

 - Remove condition from hotpath in __init_single_pfn(), that was added
   in order to fix the problem that was reported by Bharata in the above
   email thread, thus also improve performance during normal boot.

 - Make memory hotplug more similar to the boot memory initialization
   path because we zero and initialize struct pages only in one
   function.

 - Simplifies memory hotplug struct page initialization code, and thus
   enables future improvements, such as multi-threading the
   initialization of struct pages in order to improve hotplug
   performance even further on larger machines.
