Move several vma_area_struct members which are rarely or never used
during page fault handling into the last cacheline to better pack
vm_area_struct. As a result vm_area_struct will fit into 3 as opposed
to 4 cachelines. New typical vm_area_struct layout:
struct vm_area_struct {
union {
struct {
long unsigned int vm_start; /* 0 8 */
long unsigned int vm_end; /* 8 8 */
}; /* 0 16 */
freeptr_t vm_freeptr; /* 0 8 */
}; /* 0 16 */
struct mm_struct * vm_mm; /* 16 8 */
pgprot_t vm_page_prot; /* 24 8 */
union {
const vm_flags_t vm_flags; /* 32 8 */
vm_flags_t __vm_flags; /* 32 8 */
}; /* 32 8 */
unsigned int vm_lock_seq; /* 40 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
struct list_head anon_vma_chain; /* 48 16 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
struct anon_vma * anon_vma; /* 64 8 */
const struct vm_operations_struct * vm_ops; /* 72 8 */
long unsigned int vm_pgoff; /* 80 8 */
struct file * vm_file; /* 88 8 */
void * vm_private_data; /* 96 8 */
atomic_long_t swap_readahead_info; /* 104 8 */
struct mempolicy * vm_policy; /* 112 8 */
struct vma_numab_state * numab_state; /* 120 8 */
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
refcount_t vm_refcnt (__aligned__(64)); /* 128 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
struct {
struct rb_node rb (__aligned__(8)); /* 136 24 */
long unsigned int rb_subtree_last; /* 160 8 */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8))) shared; /* 136 32 */
struct anon_vma_name * anon_name; /* 168 8 */
struct vm_userfaultfd_ctx vm_userfaultfd_ctx; /* 176 8 */
/* size: 192, cachelines: 3, members: 18 */
/* sum members: 176, holes: 2, sum holes: 8 */
/* padding: 8 */
/* forced alignments: 2, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 4 */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(64)));
Memory consumption per 1000 VMAs becomes 48 pages:
