[PATCH v2 2/4] mm: vmalloc: use rwsem, mutex for vmap_area_lock and vmap_block->lock

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

 



vmalloc() is, by design, not permitted to be used in atomic context and
already contains components which may sleep, so avoiding spin locks is not
a problem from the perspective of atomic context.

The global vmap_area_lock is held when the red/black tree rooted in
vmap_are_root is accessed and thus is rather long-held and under
potentially high contention. It is likely to be under contention for reads
rather than write, so replace it with a rwsem.

Each individual vmap_block->lock is likely to be held for less time but
under low contention, so a mutex is not an outrageous choice here.

A subset of test_vmalloc.sh performance results:-

fix_size_alloc_test             0.40%
full_fit_alloc_test		2.08%
long_busy_list_alloc_test	0.34%
random_size_alloc_test		-0.25%
random_size_align_alloc_test	0.06%
...
all tests cycles                0.2%

This represents a tiny reduction in performance that sits barely above
noise.

The reason for making this change is to build a basis for vread() to be
usable asynchronously, this eliminating the need for a bounce buffer when
copying data to userland in read_kcore() and allowing that to be converted
to an iterator form.
