* SLUB: Optimize slab_free() debug checkPekka Enberg2010-10-061-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch optimizes slab_free() debug check to use "c->node != NUMA_NO_NODE" instead of "c->node >= 0" because the former generates smaller code on x86-64: Before: 4736: 48 39 70 08 cmp %rsi,0x8(%rax) 473a: 75 26 jne 4762 <kfree+0xa2> 473c: 44 8b 48 10 mov 0x10(%rax),%r9d 4740: 45 85 c9 test %r9d,%r9d 4743: 78 1d js 4762 <kfree+0xa2> After: 4736: 48 39 70 08 cmp %rsi,0x8(%rax) 473a: 75 23 jne 475f <kfree+0x9f> 473c: 83 78 10 ff cmpl $0xffffffffffffffff,0x10(%rax) 4740: 74 1d je 475f <kfree+0x9f> This patch also cleans up __slab_alloc() to use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of "-1" for enabling debugging for a per-CPU cache.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As explained by Linus "I'm Proud to be an American" Torvalds: Looking at the merging code, I actually think it's totally buggy. If you have something like this: - load module A: create slab cache A - load module B: create slab cache B that can merge with A - unload module A - "cat /proc/slabinfo": BOOM. Oops. exactly because the name is not handled correctly, and you'll have module B holding open a slab cache that has a name pointer that points to module A that no longer exists. This patch fixes the problem by using kstrdup() to allocate dynamic memory for ->name of "struct kmem_cache" as suggested by Christoph Lameter.

This is due to get_partial() calling get_any_partial() if partial slabs are exhausted for a node even if a node was specified and therefore one would expect allocations only from the specified node. get_any_partial() sporadically may return a slab from a foreign node to gradually reduce the size of partial lists on remote nodes and thereby reduce total memory use for a slab cache. The behavior is controlled by the remote_defrag_ratio of each cache. Strictly speaking this is permitted behavior since __GFP_THISNODE was not specified for the allocation but it is certain surprising. This patch makes sure that the remote defrag behavior only occurs if no node was specified.

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.

* | cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's memsMiao Xie2010-05-251-1/+5
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all old unallowed bits later. But in the way, the allocator may find that there is no node to alloc memory. The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example: (mpol: mempolicy) task1 task1's mpol task2 alloc page 1 alloc on node0? NO 1 1 change mems from 1 to 0 1 rebind task1's mpol 0-1 set new bits 0 clear disallowed bits alloc on node1? NO 0 ... can't alloc page goto oom This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits). So we use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

* | SLUB: Fix per-cpu merge conflictStephen Rothwell2010-03-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The slab tree adds a percpu variable usage case (commit 9dfc6e68bfe6ee452efb1a4e9ca26a9007f2b864 "SLUB: Use this_cpu operations in slub"), but the percpu tree removes the prefixing of percpu variables (commit dd17c8f72993f9461e9c19250e3f155d6d99df22 "percpu: remove per_cpu__ prefix"), thus causing the following compilation error: CC mm/slub.o mm/slub.c: In function ‘alloc_kmem_cache_cpus’: mm/slub.c:2078: error: implicit declaration of function ‘per_cpu_var’ mm/slub.c:2078: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast make[1]: *** [mm/slub.o] Error 1 Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. We need kmalloc_percpu for all of the now extended kmalloc caches array not just for each shift value. 2. init_kmem_cache_nodes() must assume node 0 locality for statically allocated dma kmem_cache structures even after boot is complete.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | `s' cannot be NULL if kmalloc_caches is not NULL. This conditional would trigger a NULL pointer on `s', anyway, since it is immediately derefernced if true.
