[PATCH 1/2] memcg: consistently use vmalloc for page_cgroup allocations

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

 



Right now, allocation for page_cgroup is a bit complicated, dependent on
a variety of system conditions:

For flat memory, we are likely to need quite big pages, so the page
allocator won't cut. We are forced to init flatmem mappings very early,
because if we run after the page allocator is in place those allocations
will be denied. Flatmem mappings thus resort to the bootmem allocator.

We can fix this by using vmalloc for flatmem mappings. However, we now
have the situation in which flatmem mapping allocate using vmalloc, but
sparsemem may or may not allocate with vmalloc. It will try the
page_allocator first, and retry vmalloc if it fails.

With that change in place, not only we *can* move
page_cgroup_flatmem_init, but we absolutely must move it. It now needs
to run with vmalloc enabled. Instead of just moving it after vmalloc, we
will move it together with the normal page_cgroup initialization. It
becomes then natural to merge them into a single name.
