Yin Fengwei 71946389a7 mm/thp: check and bail out if page in deferred queue already 
commit 81e506bec9 upstream.

Kernel build regression with LLVM was reported here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y1GCYXGtEVZbcv%2F5@dev-arch.thelio-3990X/ with
commit f35b5d7d67 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries").  And the commit f35b5d7d67 was reverted.

It turned out the regression is related with madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)
was used by ld.lld. But with none PMD_SIZE aligned parameter len.
trace-bpfcc captured:
531607  531732  ld.lld          do_madvise.part.0 start: 0x7feca9000000, len: 0x7fb000, behavior: 0x4
531607  531793  ld.lld          do_madvise.part.0 start: 0x7fec86a00000, len: 0x7fb000, behavior: 0x4

If the underneath physical page is THP, the madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) can
trigger split_queue_lock contention raised significantly. perf showed
following data:
    14.85%     0.00%  ld.lld           [kernel.kallsyms]           [k]
       entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
           11.52%
                entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
                do_syscall_64
                __x64_sys_madvise
                do_madvise.part.0
                zap_page_range
                unmap_single_vma
                unmap_page_range
                page_remove_rmap
                deferred_split_huge_page
                __lock_text_start
                native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath

If THP can't be removed from rmap as whole THP, partial THP will be
removed from rmap by removing sub-pages from rmap.  Even the THP head page
is added to deferred queue already, the split_queue_lock will be acquired
and check whether the THP head page is in the queue already.  Thus, the
contention of split_queue_lock is raised.

Before acquire split_queue_lock, check and bail out early if the THP
head page is in the queue already. The checking without holding
split_queue_lock could race with deferred_split_scan, but it doesn't
impact the correctness here.

Test result of building kernel with ld.lld:
commit 7b5a0b664e (parent commit of f35b5d7d67):
time -f "\t%E real,\t%U user,\t%S sys" make LD=ld.lld -skj96 allmodconfig all
        6:07.99 real,   26367.77 user,  5063.35 sys

commit f35b5d7d67:
time -f "\t%E real,\t%U user,\t%S sys" make LD=ld.lld -skj96 allmodconfig all
        7:22.15 real,   26235.03 user,  12504.55 sys

commit f35b5d7d67 with the fixing patch:
time -f "\t%E real,\t%U user,\t%S sys" make LD=ld.lld -skj96 allmodconfig all
        6:08.49 real,   26520.15 user,  5047.91 sys

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.
