From 062eacf57ad91b5c272f89dc964fd6dd9715ea7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)" Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2023 21:06:38 +0200 Subject: mm: vmalloc: remove a global vmap_blocks xarray A global vmap_blocks-xarray array can be contented under heavy usage of the vm_map_ram()/vm_unmap_ram() APIs. The lock_stat shows that a "vmap_blocks.xa_lock" lock is a second in a top-list when it comes to contentions: ---------------------------------------- class name con-bounces contentions ... ---------------------------------------- vmap_area_lock: 2554079 2554276 ... -------------- vmap_area_lock 1297948 [<00000000dd41cbaa>] alloc_vmap_area+0x1c7/0x910 vmap_area_lock 1256330 [<000000009d927bf3>] free_vmap_block+0x4a/0xe0 vmap_area_lock 1 [<00000000c95c05a7>] find_vm_area+0x16/0x70 -------------- vmap_area_lock 1738590 [<00000000dd41cbaa>] alloc_vmap_area+0x1c7/0x910 vmap_area_lock 815688 [<000000009d927bf3>] free_vmap_block+0x4a/0xe0 vmap_area_lock 1 [<00000000c1d619d7>] __get_vm_area_node+0xd2/0x170 vmap_blocks.xa_lock: 862689 862698 ... ------------------- vmap_blocks.xa_lock 378418 [<00000000625a5626>] vm_map_ram+0x359/0x4a0 vmap_blocks.xa_lock 484280 [<00000000caa2ef03>] xa_erase+0xe/0x30 ------------------- vmap_blocks.xa_lock 576226 [<00000000caa2ef03>] xa_erase+0xe/0x30 vmap_blocks.xa_lock 286472 [<00000000625a5626>] vm_map_ram+0x359/0x4a0 ... that is a result of running vm_map_ram()/vm_unmap_ram() in a loop. The test creates 64(on 64 CPUs system) threads and each one maps/unmaps 1 page. After this change the "xa_lock" can be considered as a noise in the same test condition: ... &xa->xa_lock#1: 10333 10394 ... -------------- &xa->xa_lock#1 5349 [<00000000bbbc9751>] xa_erase+0xe/0x30 &xa->xa_lock#1 5045 [<0000000018def45d>] vm_map_ram+0x3a4/0x4f0 -------------- &xa->xa_lock#1 7326 [<0000000018def45d>] vm_map_ram+0x3a4/0x4f0 &xa->xa_lock#1 3068 [<00000000bbbc9751>] xa_erase+0xe/0x30 ... Running the test_vmalloc.sh run_test_mask=1024 nr_threads=64 nr_pages=5 shows around ~8 percent of throughput improvement of vm_map_ram() and vm_unmap_ram() APIs. This patch does not fix vmap_area_lock/free_vmap_area_lock and purge_vmap_area_lock bottle-necks, it is rather a separate rework.
