      [PATCH] cpuset memory spread: slab cache format · fffb60f9
      Paul Jackson 提交于
      Rewrap the overly long source code lines resulting from the previous
      patch's addition of the slab cache flag SLAB_MEM_SPREAD.  This patch
      contains only formatting changes, and no function change.

      [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.

      [PATCH] slab: Remove SLAB_NO_REAP option · ac2b898c
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      SLAB_NO_REAP is documented as an option that will cause this slab not to be
      reaped under memory pressure.  However, that is not what happens.  The only
      thing that SLAB_NO_REAP controls at the moment is the reclaim of the unused
      slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap().  Cache_reap()
      is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure.
      
      Could we remove the whole thing?  Its only used by three slabs anyways and
      I cannot find a reason for having this option.
      
      There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP.  If set then the recovery
      of objects from alien caches is switched off.  Objects not freed on the
      same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a
      certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely)
      or if the cache is explicitly shrunk.  (Strangely __cache_shrink does not
      check for SLAB_NO_REAP)
      
      Getting rid of SLAB_NO_REAP fixes the problems with alien cache freeing.
