Commit 41a5db8d8161 ("Add support for non-fix-size percpu mem allocation")
added support for non-fix-size percpu memory allocation.
Such allocation will allocate percpu memory for all buckets on all
cpus and the memory consumption is in the order to quadratic.
For example, let us say, 4 cpus, unit size 16 bytes, so each
cpu has 16 * 4 = 64 bytes, with 4 cpus, total will be 64 * 4 = 256 bytes.
Then let us say, 8 cpus with the same unit size, each cpu
has 16 * 8 = 128 bytes, with 8 cpus, total will be 128 * 8 = 1024 bytes.
So if the number of cpus doubles, the number of memory consumption
will be 4 times. So for a system with large number of cpus, the
memory consumption goes up quickly with quadratic order.
For example, for 4KB percpu allocation, 128 cpus. The total memory
consumption will 4KB * 128 * 128 = 64MB. Things will become
worse if the number of cpus is bigger (e.g., 512, 1024, etc.)
In Commit 41a5db8d8161, the non-fix-size percpu memory allocation is
done in boot time, so for system with large number of cpus, the initial
percpu memory consumption is very visible. For example, for 128 cpu
system, the total percpu memory allocation will be at least
(16 + 32 + 64 + 96 + 128 + 196 + 256 + 512 + 1024 + 2048 + 4096)
* 128 * 128 = ~138MB.
which is pretty big. It will be even bigger for larger number of cpus.

Is it better to make it being const ?
Right. We can make it as const.

__GFP_ZERO is not needed. __alloc_percpu_gfp() will zero the returned

Thanks. Checked the comments in __alloc_percpu_gfp() and indeed, the returned

It seems drain_mem_cache() will be enough. Have you considered setting
At prefill stage, looks like the following is enough:
free_all(__llist_del_all(&c->free_llist), percpu);
But I agree that drain_mem_cache() is simpler and is
easier for future potential code change.
low_watermark as 0 to prevent potential refill in unit_alloc() if the
initialization of the current unit fails ?
I think it does make sense. For non-fix-size non-percpu prefill,
if check_obj_size() failed, the prefill will fail, which include
all buckets.
In this case, if it fails for a particular bucket, we should
make sure that bucket always return NULL ptr, so setting the
low_watermark to 0 does make sense.
