[PATCH] crypto: lzo: try kmalloc() before vmalloc()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

zswap allocates one LZO context per online cpu.

Using vmalloc() for small (16KB) memory areas has drawback of slowing
down /proc/vmallocinfo and /proc/meminfo reads, TLB pressure and poor
NUMA locality, as default NUMA policy at boot time is to interleave
pages :

edumazet:~# grep lzo /proc/vmallocinfo | head -4
0xffffc90006062000-0xffffc90006067000   20480 lzo_init+0x1b/0x30 pages=4 vmalloc N0=2 N1=2
0xffffc90006067000-0xffffc9000606c000   20480 lzo_init+0x1b/0x30 pages=4 vmalloc N0=2 N1=2
0xffffc9000606c000-0xffffc90006071000   20480 lzo_init+0x1b/0x30 pages=4 vmalloc N0=2 N1=2
0xffffc90006071000-0xffffc90006076000   20480 lzo_init+0x1b/0x30 pages=4 vmalloc N0=2 N1=2

This patch tries a regular kmalloc() and fallback to vmalloc in case
memory is too fragmented.
