[RFC PATCH 1/1] lib/stackdepot: replace CONFIG_STACK_HASH_ORDER with automatic sizing

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

 



As Linus explained [1], setting the stackdepot hash table size as a
config option is suboptimal, especially as stackdepot becomes a
dependency of less specialized subsystems than initially (e.g. DRM,
networking, SLUB_DEBUG):

: (a) it introduces a new compile-time question that isn't sane to ask
: a regular user, but is now exposed to regular users.

: (b) this by default uses 1MB of memory for a feature that didn't in
: the past, so now if you have small machines you need to make sure you
: make a special kernel config for them.

Ideally we would employ rhashtable for fully automatic resizing, which
should be feasible for many of the new users, but problematic for the
original users with restricted context that call __stack_depot_save()
with can_alloc == false, i.e. KASAN.

However we can easily remove the config option and scale the hash table
automatically with system memory. The STACK_HASH_MASK constant becomes
stack_hash_mask variable and is used only in one mask operation, so the
overhead should be negligible to none. For early allocation we can
employ the existing alloc_large_system_hash() function and perform
similar scaling for the late allocation.

The existing limits of the config option (between 4k and 1M buckets)
are preserved, and scaling factor is set to one bucket per 16kB memory
so on 64bit the max 1M buckets (8MB memory) is achieved with 16GB
system, while a 1GB system will use 512kB.

If needed, the automatic scaling could be complemented with a boot-time
kernel parameter, but it feels pointless to add it without a specific
use case.
