we just record the cached_hole_size now, which will be used when the criteria meet both of 'free_vmap_cache == NULL' and 'size < cached_hole_size'. However, under above scenario, the search will start from the rb_root and then find the node which just in front of the cached hole. free_vmap_cache miss: vmap_area_root / \ _next U / (T1) cached_hole_node / ... (T2) / first vmap_area_list->first->......->cached_hole_node->cached_hole_node.list.next |-------(T3)-------| | <<< cached_hole_size >>> | vmap_area_list->......->cached_hole_node->cached_hole_node.list.next | <<< cached_hole_size >>> | The time cost to search the node now is T = T1 + T2 + T3. The commit add a cached_hole_node here to record the one just in front of the cached_hole_size, which can help to avoid walking the rb tree and the list and make the T = 0; Signed-off-by: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- mm/vmalloc.c | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/mm/vmalloc.c b/mm/vmalloc.c index 8698c1c..4e76e7f 100644 --- a/mm/vmalloc.c +++ b/mm/vmalloc.c @@ -336,6 +336,7 @@ unsigned long vmalloc_to_pfn(const void *vmalloc_addr) /* The vmap cache globals are protected by vmap_area_lock */ static struct rb_node *free_vmap_cache; +static struct vmap_area *cached_hole_node; static unsigned long cached_hole_size; static unsigned long cached_vstart; static unsigned long cached_align; @@ -444,6 +445,12 @@ static struct vmap_area *alloc_vmap_area(unsigned long size, size < cached_hole_size || vstart < cached_vstart || align < cached_align) { + /*if we have a cached node, just use it*/ + if ((size < cached_hole_size) && cached_hole_node != NULL) { + addr = ALIGN(cached_hole_node->va_end, align); + cached_hole_node = NULL; + goto found; + } nocache: cached_hole_size = 0; free_vmap_cache = NULL; @@ -487,8 +494,13 @@ static struct vmap_area *alloc_vmap_area(unsigned long size, /* from the starting point, walk areas until a suitable hole is found */ while (addr + size > first->va_start && addr + size <= vend) { - if (addr + cached_hole_size < first->va_start) + if (addr + cached_hole_size < first->va_start) { cached_hole_size = first->va_start - addr; + /*record the node corresponding to the hole*/ + cached_hole_node = (first->list.prev == + &vmap_area_list) ? + NULL : list_prev_entry(first, list); + } addr = ALIGN(first->va_end, align); if (addr + size < addr) goto overflow; @@ -571,10 +583,17 @@ static void __free_vmap_area(struct vmap_area *va) } } } + if (va == cached_hole_node) { + /*cached node is freed, the hole get bigger*/ + if (cached_hole_node->list.prev != &vmap_area_list) + cached_hole_node = list_prev_entry(cached_hole_node, + list); + else + cached_hole_node = NULL; + } rb_erase(&va->rb_node, &vmap_area_root); RB_CLEAR_NODE(&va->rb_node); list_del_rcu(&va->list); - /* * Track the highest possible candidate for pcpu area * allocation.
