[PATCH v1 2/3] mm/memory_hotplug: don't shuffle complete zone when onlining memory

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

 



Commit e900a918b098 ("mm: shuffle initial free memory to improve
memory-side-cache utilization") introduced shuffling of free pages
during system boot and whenever we online memory blocks.

However, whenever we online memory blocks, all pages that will be
exposed to the buddy end up getting freed via __free_one_page(). In the
general case, we free these pages in MAX_ORDER - 1 chunks, which
corresponds to the shuffle order.

Inside __free_one_page(), we will already shuffle the newly onlined pages
using "to_tail = shuffle_pick_tail();". Drop explicit zone shuffling on
memory hotplug.

Note: When hotplugging a DIMM, each memory block (e.g., 128MB .. 2G on
x86-64) will get onlined individually, resulting in a shuffle_zone() for
every memory block getting onlined.
