      mm: get rid of 'vmalloc_info' from /proc/meminfo · a5ad88ce
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      It turns out that at least some versions of glibc end up reading
      /proc/meminfo at every single startup, because glibc wants to know the
      amount of memory the machine has.  And while that's arguably insane,
      it's just how things are.
      
      And it turns out that it's not all that expensive most of the time, but
      the vmalloc information statistics (amount of virtual memory used in the
      vmalloc space, and the biggest remaining chunk) can be rather expensive
      to compute.
      
      The 'get_vmalloc_info()' function actually showed up on my profiles as
      4% of the CPU usage of "make test" in the git source repository, because
      the git tests are lots of very short-lived shell-scripts etc.
      
      It turns out that apparently this same silly vmalloc info gathering
      shows up on the facebook servers too, according to Dave Jones.  So it's
      not just "make test" for git.
      
      We had two patches to just cache the information (one by me, one by
      Ingo) to mitigate this issue, but the whole vmalloc information of of
      rather dubious value to begin with, and people who *actually* want to
      know what the situation is wrt the vmalloc area should just look at the
      much more complete /proc/vmallocinfo instead.
      
      In fact, according to my testing - and perhaps more importantly,
      according to that big search engine in the sky: Google - there is
      nothing out there that actually cares about those two expensive fields:
      VmallocUsed and VmallocChunk.
      
      So let's try to just remove them entirely.  Actually, this just removes
      the computation and reports the numbers as zero for now, just to try to
      be minimally intrusive.
      
      If this breaks anything, we'll obviously have to re-introduce the code
      to compute this all and add the caching patches on top.  But if given
      the option, I'd really prefer to just remove this bad idea entirely
      rather than add even more code to work around our historical mistake
      that likely nobody really cares about.

      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Merge file descriptor allocation speedup.
      
      Eric Dumazet has a test-case for a fairly common network deamon load
      pattern: openign and closing a lot of sockets that each have very little
      work done on them.  It turns out that in that case, the cost of just
      finding the correct file descriptor number can be a dominating factor.
      
      We've long had a trivial optimization for allocating file descriptors
      sequentially, but that optimization ends up being not very effective
      when other file descriptors are being closed concurrently, and the fd
      patterns are not some simple FIFO pattern.  In such cases we ended up
      spending a lot of time just scanning the bitmap of open file descriptors
      in order to find the next file descriptor number to open.
      
      This trivial patch-series mitigates that by simply introducing a
      second-level bitmap of which words in the first bitmap are already fully
      allocated.  That cuts down the cost of scanning by an order of magnitude
      in some pathological (but realistic) cases.
      
      The second patch is an even more trivial patch to avoid unnecessarily
      dirtying the cacheline for the close-on-exec bit array that normally
      ends up being all empty.

      vfs: conditionally clear close-on-exec flag · fc90888d
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      We clear the close-on-exec flag when opening and closing files, and the
      bit was almost always already clear before.  Avoid dirtying the
      cacheline if the clearning isn't necessary.  That avoids unnecessary
      cacheline dirtying and bouncing in multi-socket environments.
      
      Eric Dumazet has a file descriptor benchmark that goes 4% faster from
      this on his two-socket machine.  It's probably partly superlinear
      improvement due to getting slightly less spinlock contention on the
      file_lock spinlock due to less work in the critical section.

      Al Viro points out that:
      > >     * [Linux-specific aside] our __alloc_fd() can degrade quite badly
      > > with some use patterns.  The cacheline pingpong in the bitmap is probably
      > > inevitable, unless we accept considerably heavier memory footprint,

      > > scanning the entire in-use bitmap.
      
      And Eric Dumazet has a somewhat realistic multithreaded microbenchmark
      that opens and closes a lot of sockets with minimal work per socket.
      
      This patch largely fixes it.  We keep a 2nd-level bitmap of the open
      file bitmaps, showing which words are already full.  So then we can
      traverse that second-level bitmap to efficiently skip already allocated
      file descriptors.
      
      On his benchmark, this improves performance by up to an order of
      magnitude, by avoiding the excessive open file bitmap scanning.
