Will do. Already have another local patch set which helps drivers dma
map 2M pages for migrations if SRAM is physically contiguous. Seems
helpful for performance on Intel hardware. Probably post that soon for
early feedack.
Longer term I thinking 2M migration entries, 2M device pages, and being
able to install 2M THP on VRAM -> SRAM could be really helpful. I'm
finding migrate_vma_* functions take up like 80-90% of the time in the
CPU / GPU fault handlers on a fault (or prefetch) which doesn't seem
ideal. Seems like 2M entries for everything would really help here. No
idea how feasible this is as the core MM stuff gets confusing fast. Any
input on this idea?
