This was the behavior prior to making the function arch-specific with
commit ecd096506922 ("mm: make deferred init's max threads
arch-specific")

Architectures can override the generic implementation that uses only one
CPU. Setting DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT and testing on a few arm64
platforms shows faster deferred_init_memmap completions:

|         | x13s        | SA8775p-ride | Ampere R137-P31 | Ampere HR330 |
|         | Metal, 32GB | VM, 36GB     | VM, 58GB        | Metal, 128GB |
|         | 8cpus       | 8cpus        | 8cpus           | 32cpus       |

| 1       | 108    (0%) | 72      (0%) | 224        (0%) | 324     (0%) |
| cpus    |  24  (-77%) | 36    (-50%) |  40      (-82%) |  56   (-82%) |

Maybe we should make this default and let architectures that want a single
thread override deferred_page_init_max_threads() to return 1?

It would affect more archs than I can try this on. Currently, only x86
(with this change, arm64) return more than one thread.

I'm happy to send a v2 inverting the logic if you find it preferable.

Best,

How did you measure this, just some printks in page_alloc_init_late() or
something more sophisticated? Just so I can do some comparable measurements.

I can test powerpc and we can find someone to test s390. No other arches
have it enabled in their defconfig.

That seems preferable. It's a scalability feature, it makes no sense for
the default to be a single thread AFAICS.

I used the existing pr_info in deferred_init_memmap().
