It is common for one sg to include many pages, so mark all these
pages as clean to avoid unnecessary flushing on them in
set_pte_at() or update_mmu_cache().
The patch might improve loading performance of applciation code a bit.
On the below test code to read file(~1GByte size) from usb mass storage
disk to buffer created with mmap(PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC) on
Pandaboard, average ~1% improvement can be observed with the patch on
10 times test.
unsigned int sum = 0;
static unsigned long tv_diff(struct timeval *tv1, struct timeval *tv2)
{
return (tv2->tv_sec - tv1->tv_sec) *
1000000 + (tv2->tv_usec - tv1->tv_usec);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char *mbuffer;
int fd;
int i;
unsigned long page_size, size;
struct stat stat;
struct timeval t1, t2;
page_size = getpagesize();
fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);
assert(fd >= 0);
fstat(fd, &stat);
size = stat.st_size;
printf("%s: file %s, file size %lu, page size %lun", argv[0],
read_filename, size, page_size);
gettimeofday(&t1, NULL);
mbuffer = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
for (i = 0 ; i < size ; i += page_size)
sum += mbuffer[i];
munmap(mbuffer, page_size);
gettimeofday(&t2, NULL);
printf("tread mmaped time: %luusn", tv_diff(&t1, &t2));
close(fd);
