[RFC PATCH v5 00/16] Slab Movable Objects (SMO)

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

 



Hi,

Another iteration of the SMO patch set, updates to this version are
restricted to the XArray patches (#9 and #10 and tested with module
implemented in #11).

Applies on top of Linus' tree (tag: v5.2-rc1).

This is a patch set implementing movable objects within the SLUB
allocator.  This is work based on Christopher Lameter's patch set:

 https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/project/lkml/list/?series=377335

The original code logic is from that set and implemented by Christopher.
Clean up, refactoring, documentation, and additional features by myself.
Responsibility for any bugs remaining falls solely with myself.

I am intending on sending a non-RFC version soon after this one (if
XArray stuff is ok).  If anyone has any objects with SMO in general
please yell at me now.

Changes to this version:

Patch XArray to use a separate slab cache.  Currently the radix tree and
XArray use the same slab cache.  Radix tree nodes can not be moved but
XArray nodes can.

Matthew,

Does this fit in ok with your plans for the XArray and radix tree?  I
don't really like the function names used here or the init function name
(xarray_slabcache_init()).  If there is a better way to do this please
mercilessly correct me :)


Thanks for looking at this,
Tobin.
