Subject: mm: zsmalloc: share slab caches for all zsmalloc zpools
Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2024 17:53:40 +0000
Zswap creates multiple zpools to improve concurrency. Each zsmalloc zpool
creates its own 'zs_handle' and 'zspage' slab caches. Currently we end up
with 32 slab caches of each type.
Since each slab cache holds some free objects, we end up with a lot of
free objects distributed among the separate zpool caches. Slab caches are
designed to handle concurrent allocations by using percpu structures, so
having a single instance of each cache should be enough, and avoids
wasting more memory than needed due to fragmentation.
Additionally, having more slab caches than needed unnecessarily slows down
code paths that iterate slab_caches.
In the results reported by Eric in [1], the amount of unused slab memory
in these caches goes down from 242808 bytes to 29216 bytes (-88%). This
is calculated by (num_objs - active_objs) * objsize for each 'zs_handle'
and 'zspage' cache. Although this patch did not help with the allocation
failure reported by Eric with zswap + zsmalloc, I think it is still worth
merging on its own.
