kmalloc caches are statically defined and may take up a lot of space just because the sizes of the node array has to be dimensioned for the largest node count supported. This patch makes the size of the kmem_cache structure dynamic throughout by creating a kmem_cache slab cache for the kmem_cache objects. The bootstrap occurs by allocating the initial one or two kmem_cache objects from the page allocator.

Now each architecture has the own dma_get_cache_alignment implementation. dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures define it as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (it's used to make sure that malloc'ed buffer is DMA-safe; the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others). So we can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations. This patch: dma_get_cache_alignment() needs to know if an architecture defines ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN or not (needs to know if architecture has DMA alignment restriction). However, slab.h define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN if architectures doesn't define it. Let's rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN. ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is used only in the internals of slab/slob/slub (except for crypto).

This patch is meant to improve the performance of SLUB by moving the local kmem_cache_node lock into it's own cacheline separate from kmem_cache. This is accomplished by simply removing the local_node when NUMA is enabled. On my system with 2 nodes I saw around a 5% performance increase w/ hackbench times dropping from 6.2 seconds to 5.9 seconds on average. I suspect the performance gain would increase as the number of nodes increases, but I do not have the data to currently back that up.

Remove the fields in struct kmem_cache_cpu that were used to cache data from struct kmem_cache when they were in different cachelines. The cacheline that holds the per cpu array pointer now also holds these values. We can cut down the struct kmem_cache_cpu size to almost half. The get_freepointer() and set_freepointer() functions that used to be only intended for the slow path now are also useful for the hot path since access to the size field does not require accessing an additional cacheline anymore. This results in consistent use of functions for setting the freepointer of objects throughout SLUB. Also we initialize all possible kmem_cache_cpu structures when a slab is created. No need to initialize them when a processor or node comes online. Signed-off-by: NChristoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NPekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>

Using per cpu allocations removes the needs for the per cpu arrays in the kmem_cache struct. These could get quite big if we have to support systems with thousands of cpus. The use of this_cpu_xx operations results in: 1. The size of kmem_cache for SMP configuration shrinks since we will only need 1 pointer instead of NR_CPUS. The same pointer can be used by all processors. Reduces cache footprint of the allocator. 2. We can dynamically size kmem_cache according to the actual nodes in the system meaning less memory overhead for configurations that may potentially support up to 1k NUMA nodes / 4k cpus. 3. We can remove the diddle widdle with allocating and releasing of kmem_cache_cpu structures when bringing up and shutting down cpus. The cpu alloc logic will do it all for us. Removes some portions of the cpu hotplug functionality. 4. Fastpath performance increases since per cpu pointer lookups and address calculations are avoided.

As explained by Benjamin Herrenschmidt: Oh and btw, your patch alone doesn't fix powerpc, because it's missing a whole bunch of GFP_KERNEL's in the arch code... You would have to grep the entire kernel for things that check slab_is_available() and even then you'll be missing some. For example, slab_is_available() didn't always exist, and so in the early days on powerpc, we used a mem_init_done global that is set form mem_init() (not perfect but works in practice). And we still have code using that to do the test. Therefore, mask out __GFP_WAIT, __GFP_IO, and __GFP_FS in the slab allocators in early boot code to avoid enabling interrupts.

Increase the maximum object size in SLUB so that 8k objects are not passed through to the page allocator anymore. The network stack uses 8k objects for performance critical operations. The patch is motivated by a SLAB vs. SLUB regression in the netperf benchmark. The problem is that the kfree(skb->head) call in skb_release_data() that is subject to page allocator pass-through as the size passed to __alloc_skb() is larger than 4 KB in this test. As explained by Yanmin Zhang: I use 2.6.29-rc2 kernel to run netperf UDP-U-4k CPU_NUM client/server pair loopback testing on x86-64 machines. Comparing with SLUB, SLAB's result is about 2.3 times of SLUB's. After applying the reverting patch, the result difference between SLUB and SLAB becomes 1% which we might consider as fluctuation.

On the type column, you have K = kmalloc, C = cache, P = page I would like the flags to be GFP_* strings but that would not be easy to not break the column with strings.... About the node...it seems to always be -1. I don't know why but that shouldn't be difficult to find. I moved linux/tracepoint.h to trace/tracepoint.h as well. I think that would be more easy to find the tracer headers if they are all in their common directory.

This patch changes the static MIN_PARTIAL to a dynamic per-cache ->min_partial value that is calculated from object size. The bigger the object size, the more pages we keep on the partial list. I tested SLAB, SLUB, and SLUB with this patch on Jens Axboe's 'netio' example script of the fio benchmarking tool. The script stresses the networking subsystem which should also give a fairly good beating of kmalloc() et al. To run the test yourself, first clone the fio repository: git clone git://git.kernel.dk/fio.git and then run the following command n times on your machine: time ./fio examples/netio The results on my 2-way 64-bit x86 machine are as follows: [ the minimum, maximum, and average are captured from 50 individual runs ] real time (seconds) min max avg sd SLAB 22.76 23.38 22.98 0.17 SLUB 22.80 25.78 23.46 0.72 SLUB (dynamic) 22.74 23.54 23.00 0.20 sys time (seconds) min max avg sd SLAB 6.90 8.28 7.70 0.28 SLUB 7.42 16.95 8.89 2.28 SLUB (dynamic) 7.17 8.64 7.73 0.29 user time (seconds) min max avg sd SLAB 36.89 38.11 37.50 0.29 SLUB 30.85 37.99 37.06 1.67 SLUB (dynamic) 36.75 38.07 37.59 0.32 As you can see from the above numbers, this patch brings SLUB to the same level as SLAB for this particular workload fixing a ~2% regression. I'd expect this change to help similar workloads that allocate a lot of objects that are close to the size of a page.

The 192 byte cache is not necessary if we have a basic alignment of 128 byte. If it would be used then the 192 would be aligned to the next 128 byte boundary which would result in another 256 byte cache. Two 256 kmalloc caches cause sysfs to complain about a duplicate entry. MIPS needs 128 byte aligned kmalloc caches and spits out warnings on boot without this patch.

If any higher order allocation fails then fall back the smallest order necessary to contain at least one object. This enables fallback for all allocations to order 0 pages. The fallback will waste more memory (objects will not fit neatly) and the fallback slabs will be not as efficient as larger slabs since they contain less objects. Note that SLAB also depends on order 1 allocations for some slabs that waste too much memory if forced into PAGE_SIZE'd page. SLUB now can now deal with failing order 1 allocs which SLAB cannot do. Add a new field min that will contain the objects for the smallest possible order for a slab cache.

Change the statistics to consider that slabs of the same slabcache can have different number of objects in them since they may be of different order. Provide a new sysfs field total_objects which shows the total objects that the allocated slabs of a slabcache could hold. Add a max field that holds the largest slab order that was ever used for a slab cache. Signed-off-by: NChristoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: NPekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>

Pack the order and the number of objects into a single word. This saves some memory in the kmem_cache_structure and more importantly allows us to fetch both values atomically. Later the slab orders become runtime configurable and we need to fetch these two items together in order to properly allocate a slab and initialize its objects. Fix the race by fetching the order and the number of objects in one word.

The per node counters are used mainly for showing data through the sysfs API. If that API is not compiled in then there is no point in keeping track of this data. Disable counters for the number of slabs and the number of total slabs if !SLUB_DEBUG. Incrementing the per node counters is also accessing a potentially contended cacheline so this could actually be a performance benefit to embedded systems. SLABINFO support is also affected. It now must depends on SLUB_DEBUG (which is on by default). Patch also avoids a check for a NULL kmem_cache_node pointer in new_slab() if the system is not compiled with NUMA support.

Currently we hand off PAGE_SIZEd kmallocs to the page allocator in the mistaken belief that the page allocator can handle these allocations effectively. However, measurements indicate a minimum slowdown by the factor of 8 (and that is only SMP, NUMA is much worse) vs the slub fastpath which causes regressions in tbench. Increase the number of kmalloc caches by one so that we again handle 4k kmallocs directly from slub. 4k page buffering for the page allocator will be performed by slub like done by slab. At some point the page allocator fastpath should be fixed. A lot of the kernel would benefit from a faster ability to allocate a single page. If that is done then the 4k allocs may again be forwarded to the page allocator and this patch could be reverted.

The statistics provided here allow the monitoring of allocator behavior but at the cost of some (minimal) loss of performance. Counters are placed in SLUB's per cpu data structure. The per cpu structure may be extended by the statistics to grow larger than one cacheline which will increase the cache footprint of SLUB. There is a compile option to enable/disable the inclusion of the runtime statistics and its off by default. The slabinfo tool is enhanced to support these statistics via two options: -D Switches the line of information displayed for a slab from size mode to activity mode. -A Sorts the slabs displayed by activity. This allows the display of the slabs most important to the performance of a certain load. -r Report option will report detailed statistics on Example (tbench load): slabinfo -AD ->Shows the most active slabs Name Objects Alloc Free %Fast skbuff_fclone_cache 33 111953835 111953835 99 99 :0000192 2666 5283688 5281047 99 99 :0001024 849 5247230 5246389 83 83 vm_area_struct 1349 119642 118355 91 22 :0004096 15 66753 66751 98 98 :0000064 2067 25297 23383 98 78 dentry 10259 28635 18464 91 45 :0000080 11004 18950 8089 98 98 :0000096 1703 12358 10784 99 98 :0000128 762 10582 9875 94 18 :0000512 184 9807 9647 95 81 :0002048 479 9669 9195 83 65 anon_vma 777 9461 9002 99 71 kmalloc-8 6492 9981 5624 99 97 :0000768 258 7174 6931 58 15 So the skbuff_fclone_cache is of highest importance for the tbench load.
