Hi, Please take a look at function quarantine_put, I don't think following code will limit the batch size below quarantine_batch_size. It only advance quarantine_tail after qlist_move_all. qlist_move_all(q, &temp); spin_lock(&quarantine_lock); WRITE_ONCE(quarantine_size, quarantine_size + temp.bytes); qlist_move_all(&temp, &global_quarantine[quarantine_tail]); if (global_quarantine[quarantine_tail].bytes >= READ_ONCE(quarantine_batch_size)) { int new_tail; new_tail = quarantine_tail + 1; if (new_tail == QUARANTINE_BATCHES) new_tail = 0; if (new_tail != quarantine_head) quarantine_tail = new_tail; On Tue, Nov 28, 2017 at 4:12 PM, Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Tue, Nov 28, 2017 at 9:00 AM, Zhouyi Zhou <zhouzhouyi@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Thanks for reviewing >> My machine has 128G of RAM, and runs many KVM virtual machines. >> libvirtd always >> report "internal error: received hangup / error event on socket" under >> heavy memory load. >> Then I use perf top -g, qlist_move_cache consumes 100% cpu for >> several minutes. > > For 128GB of RAM, batch size is 4MB.
