[PATCH v4] arm64: mm: fix linear mem mapping access performance degradation

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

 



The arm64 can build 2M/1G block/sectiion mapping. When using DMA/DMA32 zone
(enable crashkernel, disable rodata full, disable kfence), the mem_map will
use non block/section mapping(for crashkernel requires to shrink the region
in page granularity). But it will degrade performance when doing larging
continuous mem access in kernel(memcpy/memmove, etc).

There are many changes and discussions:
commit 031495635b46 ("arm64: Do not defer reserve_crashkernel() for
platforms with no DMA memory zones")
commit 0a30c53573b0 ("arm64: mm: Move reserve_crashkernel() into
mem_init()")
commit 2687275a5843 ("arm64: Force NO_BLOCK_MAPPINGS if crashkernel
reservation is required")

This patch changes mem_map to use block/section mapping with crashkernel.
Firstly, do block/section mapping(normally 2M or 1G) for all avail mem at
mem_map, reserve crashkernel memory. And then walking pagetable to split
block/section mapping to non block/section mapping(normally 4K) [[[only]]]
for crashkernel mem. So the linear mem mapping use block/section mapping
as more as possible. We will reduce the cpu dTLB miss conspicuously, and
accelerate mem access about 10-20% performance improvement.

I have tested it with pft(Page Fault Test) and fio, obtained great
performace improvement.

For fio test:
1.prepare ramdisk
  modprobe -r brd
  modprobe brd rd_nr=1 rd_size=67108864
  dmsetup remove_all
  wipefs -a --force /dev/ram0
  mkfs -t ext4 -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 -q -F /dev/ram0
  mkdir -p /fs/ram0
  mount -t ext4 /dev/ram0 /fs/ram0

2.prepare fio paremeter in x.fio file:
[global]
bs=4k
ioengine=psync
iodepth=128
size=32G
direct=1
invalidate=1
group_reporting
thread=1
rw=read
directory=/fs/ram0
numjobs=1

[task_0]
cpus_allowed=16
stonewall=1

3.run testcase:
perf stat -e dTLB-load-misses fio x.fio

4.contrast
------------------------
			without patch		with patch
fio READ		aggrb=1493.2MB/s	aggrb=1775.3MB/s
dTLB-load-misses	1,818,320,693		438,729,774
time elapsed(s)		70.500326434		62.877316408
user(s)			15.926332000		15.684721000
sys(s)			54.211939000		47.046165000

5.conclusion
Using this patch will reduce dTLB misses and improve performace greatly.
