[PATCH 4/4] mm/memcg: Allow the task_obj optimization only on non-PREEMPTIBLE kernels.

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

 



Based on my understanding the optimisation with task_obj for in_task()
mask sense on non-PREEMPTIBLE kernels because preempt_disable()/enable()
is optimized away. This could be then restricted to !CONFIG_PREEMPTION kernel
instead to only PREEMPT_RT.
With CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC a non-PREEMPTIBLE kernel can also be
configured but these kernels always have preempt_disable()/enable()
present so it probably makes no sense here for the optimisation.

I did a micro benchmark with disabled interrupts and a loop of
100.000.000 invokcations of kfree(kmalloc()). Based on the results it
makes no sense to add an exception based on dynamic preemption.

Restrict the optimisation to !CONFIG_PREEMPTION kernels.
