When mmapping an existing hugetlbfs file with MAP_POPULATE, we find it is very time consuming. For example, mmapping a 128GB file takes about 50 milliseconds. Sampling with perfevent shows it spends 99% time in the same_page loop in follow_hugetlb_page(). samples: 205 of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 136686374 - 99.04% test_mmap_huget [kernel.kallsyms] [k] follow_hugetlb_page follow_hugetlb_page __get_user_pages __mlock_vma_pages_range __mm_populate vm_mmap_pgoff sys_mmap_pgoff sys_mmap system_call_fastpath __mmap64 follow_hugetlb_page() is called with pages=NULL and vmas=NULL, so for each hugepage, we run into the same_page loop for pages_per_huge_page() times, but doing nothing. With this change, it takes less then 1 millisecond to mmap a 128GB file in hugetlbfs.

README
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.
