      [PATCH] Fix slab BUG_ON() triggered by change in array cache size · c7e43c78
      Alok Kataria 提交于
      With the new changes that we made in the initialization of the slab
      allocator, we first setup the cache from which array caches are allocated,
      and then the cache, from which kmem_list3's are allocated.
      
      Now if the array cache comes from a cache in which objsize > 32, (in this
      instance size-64) then, first size-64 cache will be allocated and then the
      size-128 (if this is the cache from which kmem_list3's are going to be
      allocated).
      
      So with these new changes, we are not guaranteed that we will be
      initializing the malloc_sizes array in a serialized order. Thus there is
      a bug in __find_general_cachep, as we are checking whether the first
      cache_sizes ptr is NULL.
      
      This is replaced by checking whether the array-cache cache is initialized.
      Attached is a patch which does that.  Boots fine on a x86-64, with
      DEBUG_SPIN, DEBUG_SLAB, and preempt.

      [PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 · e498be7d
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for
      2.6.12-rc3.  Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to
      localize memory structures.  This API was used by the pageset localization
      patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm.  The existing
      kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab
      to find a page that is on the node requested.  The two patches do a one
      time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the
      speed of kmalloc node does not matter.
      
      This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node
      specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs.  Slab allocation
      improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7
      of about 5% with this patch alone.
      
      More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast
      way like kmalloc.
      
      Test run on a 32p systems with 32G Ram.

      These are measurement taken directly after boot and show a greater
      improvement than 5%.  However, the performance improvements become less
      over time if the AIM7 runs are repeated and settle down at around 5%.

      [PATCH] Periodically drain non local pagesets · 4ae7c039
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      The pageset array can potentially acquire a huge amount of memory on large
      NUMA systems.  F.e.  on a system with 512 processors and 256 nodes there
      will be 256*512 pagesets.  If each pageset only holds 5 pages then we are
      talking about 655360 pages.With a 16K page size on IA64 this results in
      potentially 10 Gigabytes of memory being trapped in pagesets.  The typical
      cases are much less for smaller systems but there is still the potential of
      memory being trapped in off node pagesets.  Off node memory may be rarely
      used if local memory is available and so we may potentially have memory in
      seldom used pagesets without this patch.
      
      The slab allocator flushes its per cpu caches every 2 seconds.  The
      following patch flushes the off node pageset caches in the same way by
      tying into the slab flush.
      
      The patch also changes /proc/zoneinfo to include the number of pages
      currently in each pageset.

      [PATCH] add kmalloc_node, inline cleanup · 97e2bde4
      Manfred Spraul 提交于
      The patch makes the following function calls available to allocate memory
      on a specific node without changing the basic operation of the slab
      allocator:
      
       kmem_cache_alloc_node(kmem_cache_t *cachep, unsigned int flags, int node);
       kmalloc_node(size_t size, unsigned int flags, int node);
      
      in a similar way to the existing node-blind functions:
      
       kmem_cache_alloc(kmem_cache_t *cachep, unsigned int flags);
       kmalloc(size, flags);
      
      kmem_cache_alloc_node was changed to pass flags and the node information
      through the existing layers of the slab allocator (which lead to some minor
      rearrangements).  The functions at the lowest layer (kmem_getpages,
      cache_grow) are already node aware.  Also __alloc_percpu can call
      kmalloc_node now.
      
      Performance measurements (using the pageset localization patch) yields:

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
