Currently __vunmap() path calls __find_vmap_area() two times. One on
entry to check that area exists, second time inside remove_vm_area()
function that also performs a new search of VA.
In order to improvie it from a performance point of view we split
remove_vm_area() into two new parts:
- find_unlink_vmap_area() that does a search and unlink from tree;
- __remove_vm_area() that does a removing but without searching.
In this case there is no any functional change for remove_vm_area()
whereas vm_remove_mappings(), where a second search happens, switches
to the __remove_vm_area() variant where already detached VA is passed
as a parameter, so there is no need to find it again.
Performance wise, i use test_vmalloc.sh with 32 threads doing alloc
free on a 64-CPUs-x86_64-box:
perf without this patch:
- 31.41% 0.50% vmalloc_test/10 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __vunmap
- 30.92% __vunmap
- 17.67% _raw_spin_lock
native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
- 12.33% remove_vm_area
- 11.79% free_vmap_area_noflush
- 11.18% _raw_spin_lock
native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
0.76% free_unref_page
perf with this patch:
- 11.35% 0.13% vmalloc_test/14 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __vunmap
- 11.23% __vunmap
- 8.28% find_unlink_vmap_area
- 7.95% _raw_spin_lock
7.44% native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
- 1.93% free_vmap_area_noflush
- 0.56% _raw_spin_lock
0.53% native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
0.60% __vunmap_range_noflush
__vunmap() consumes around ~20% less CPU cycles on this test.
