Re: [PATCH v10 11/12] mm/vmalloc: Hugepage vmalloc mappings

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

 





Le 24/01/2021 à 09:22, Nicholas Piggin a écrit :
Support huge page vmalloc mappings. Config option HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC
enables support on architectures that define HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP and
supports PMD sized vmap mappings.

vmalloc will attempt to allocate PMD-sized pages if allocating PMD size
or larger, and fall back to small pages if that was unsuccessful.

Architectures must ensure that any arch specific vmalloc allocations
that require PAGE_SIZE mappings (e.g., module allocations vs strict
module rwx) use the VM_NOHUGE flag to inhibit larger mappings.

When hugepage vmalloc mappings are enabled in the next patch, this
reduces TLB misses by nearly 30x on a `git diff` workload on a 2-node
POWER9 (59,800 -> 2,100) and reduces CPU cycles by 0.54%.

This can result in more internal fragmentation and memory overhead for a
given allocation, an option nohugevmalloc is added to disable at boot.

array_size() is a function in include/linux/overflow.h

For some reason, it breaks the build with your series.


  	gfp_mask |= __GFP_NOWARN;
  	if (!(gfp_mask & (GFP_DMA | GFP_DMA32)))
  		gfp_mask |= __GFP_HIGHMEM;
