Each zspage maintains ->inuse counter which keeps track of the
number of objects stored in the page. The ->inuse counter also
determines the page's "fullness group" which is calculated as
the ratio of the "inuse" objects to the total number of objects
the page can hold (objs_per_zspage). The closer the ->inuse
counter is to objs_per_zspage, the better.
Each size class maintains several fullness lists, that keep
track of zspages of particular "fullness". Pages within each
fullness list are stored in random order with regard to the
->inuse counter. This is because sorting the pages by ->inuse
counter each time obj_malloc() or obj_free() is called would
be too expensive. However, the ->inuse counter is still a
crucial factor in many situations.
For the two major zsmalloc operations, zs_malloc() and zs_compact(),
we typically select the head page from the corresponding fullness
list as the best candidate page. However, this assumption is not
always accurate.
For the zs_malloc() operation, the optimal candidate page should
have the highest ->inuse counter. This is because the goal is to
maximize the number of ZS_FULL pages and make full use of all
allocated memory.
For the zs_compact() operation, the optimal candidate page should
have the lowest ->inuse counter. This is because compaction needs
to move objects in use to another page before it can release the
zspage and return its physical pages to the buddy allocator. The
fewer objects in use, the quicker compaction can release the page.
Additionally, compaction is measured by the number of pages it
releases.
This patch reworks the fullness grouping mechanism. Instead of
having two groups - ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY (usage ratio below 3/4) and
ZS_ALMOST_FULL (usage ration above 3/4) - that result in too many
pages being included in the ALMOST_EMPTY group for specific
classes, size classes maintain a larger number of fullness lists
that give strict guarantees on the minimum and maximum ->inuse
values within each group. Each group represents a 10% change in the
->inuse ratio compared to neighboring groups. In essence, there
are groups for pages with 0%, 10%, 20% usage ratios, and so on,
up to 100%.
This enhances the selection of candidate pages for both zs_malloc()
and zs_compact(). A printout of the ->inuse counters of the first 7
pages per (random) class fullness group:
class-768 objs_per_zspage 16:
fullness 100%: empty
fullness 99%: empty
fullness 90%: empty
fullness 80%: empty
fullness 70%: empty
fullness 60%: 8 8 9 9 8 8 8
fullness 50%: empty
fullness 40%: 5 5 6 5 5 5 5
fullness 30%: 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
fullness 20%: 2 3 2 3 3 2 2
fullness 10%: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
fullness 0%: empty
The zs_malloc() function searches through the groups of pages
starting with the one having the highest usage ratio. This means
that it always selects a page from the group with the least
internal fragmentation (highest usage ratio) and makes it even
less fragmented by increasing its usage ratio.
The zs_compact() function, on the other hand, begins by scanning
the group with the highest fragmentation (lowest usage ratio) to
locate the source page. The first available page is selected, and
then the function moves downward to find a destination page in
the group with the lowest internal fragmentation (highest usage
ratio).
