    [PATCH] cpuset memory spread: slab cache filesystems · 4b6a9316
    Paul Jackson 提交于
    Mark file system inode and similar slab caches subject to SLAB_MEM_SPREAD
    memory spreading.
    
    If a slab cache is marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, then anytime that a task that's
    in a cpuset with the 'memory_spread_slab' option enabled goes to allocate
    from such a slab cache, the allocations are spread evenly over all the
    memory nodes (task->mems_allowed) allowed to that task, instead of favoring
    allocation on the node local to the current cpu.
    
    The following inode and similar caches are marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD:
    
        file                               cache

    The choice of which slab caches to so mark was quite simple.  I marked
    those already marked SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT, except for fs/xfs, dentry_cache,
    inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch.  Even
    though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same
    potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory
    spreading.
    
    Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a
    SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use
    the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain.
    Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system
    slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.
