[PATCH v2] mm/mm_init: use node's number of cpus in deferred_page_init_max_threads

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

 



x86_64 is already using the node's cpu as maximum threads. Make that the
default for all archs setting DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT.

This returns to the behavior prior making the function arch-specific
with commit ecd096506922 ("mm: make deferred init's max threads
arch-specific").

Setting DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT and testing on a few arm64 platforms
shows faster deferred_init_memmap completions:

|         | x13s        | SA8775p-ride | Ampere R137-P31 | Ampere HR330 |
|         | Metal, 32GB | VM, 36GB     | VM, 58GB        | Metal, 128GB |
|         | 8cpus       | 8cpus        | 8cpus           | 32cpus       |
|---------|-------------|--------------|-----------------|--------------|
| threads |  ms     (%) | ms       (%) |  ms         (%) |  ms      (%) |
|---------|-------------|--------------|-----------------|--------------|
| 1       | 108    (0%) | 72      (0%) | 224        (0%) | 324     (0%) |
| cpus    |  24  (-77%) | 36    (-50%) |  40      (-82%) |  56   (-82%) |

- v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20240520231555.395979-5-echanude@xxxxxxxxxx
- Changes since v1:
 - Make the generic function return the number of cpus of the node as
   max threads limit instead overriding it for arm64.
- Drop Baoquan He's R-b on v1 since the logic changed.
- Add CCs according to patch changes (ppc and s390 set
  DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT by default).
