Subject: [MODSLAB 2/4] A slab allocator: SLABIFIER
Slabifier: A slab allocator with minimal meta information
Lately I have started tinkering around with the slab in particular after
Matt Mackal mentioned that the slab should be more modular at the KS.
One particular design issue with the current slab is that it is build on the
basic notion of shifting object references from list to list. Without NUMA this
is wild enough with the per cpu caches and the shared cache but with NUMA we now
have per node shared arrays, per node list and per node per node alien caches.
Somehow this all works but one wonders does it have to be that way? On very
large systems the number of these entities grows to unbelievable numbers.
On our 1k cpu/node system each slab need 128M for alien caches alone.
So I thought it may be best to try to develop another basic slab layer
that does not have all the object queues and that does not have to carry
so much state information. I also have had concerns about the way locking
is handled for awhile. We could increase parallelism by finer grained locking.
This in turn may avoid the need for object queues.
One of the problems of the NUMA slab allocator is that per node partial
slab lists are used. Partial slabs cannot be filled up from other nodes.
So what I have tried to do here is to have minimal metainformation combined
with one centralized list of partially allocated slabs. The list_lock
is only taken if list modifications become necessary. The need for those
has been drastically reduced with a few measures. See below.
After toying around for awhile I came to the realization that the page struct
contains all the information necessary to manage a slab block. One can put
all the management information there and that is also advantageous
for performance since we constantly have to use the page struct anyways for
reverse object lookups and during slab creation. So this also reduces the
cache footprint of the slab. The alignment is naturally the best since the
first object starts right at the page boundary. This reduces the complexity
of alignment calculations.
struct page overloading:
- _mapcout => Used to count the objects in use in a slab
- mapping => Reference to the slab structure
- index => Pointer to the first free element in a slab
- lru => Used for list management.
Also we have a page lock in the page struct that is used
for locking each slab during modifications. Taking the lock per slab
is the finest grained locking available and this is fundamental
to the slabifier. The slab lock is taken if the slab contains
multiple objects in order to protect the freelist.
The freelists of objects per page are managed as a chained list.
The struct page contains a pointer to the first element. The first 4 bytes of
the free element contains a pointer to the next free element etc until the
chain ends with NULL. If the object cannot be overwritten after free (RCU
and constructors etc) then we can shift the pointer to the next free element
behind the object.
Flag overloading:
PageReferenced => Used to control per cpu slab freeing.
PageActive => slab is under active allocation.
PageLocked => per slab locking
The slabifier does remove the need for a list of free slabs and a list
of used slabs. Free slabs are immediately returned to the page allocator.
The page allocator has its own per cpu queues that will manage these
free pages. Used slabs are simply not tracked because we never have
a need to find out where the used slabs are. The only important thing
is that the slabs come back to the partial list when an object in them
is deleted. The metadata in the corresponding page struct will allow
us to do that easily.
Per cpu caches exist in the sense that each processor has a per processor
"cpuslab". Objects in this "active" slab will only be allocated from this
processor. This naturally makes all allocations from a single processor
come from the same slab page which reduces fragmentation.
The page state is likely going to stay in the cache. Allocation will be
very fast since we only need the page struct reference for all our needs
which is likely not contended at all. Fetching the next free pointer from
the location of the object nicely prefetches the object.
The list_lock is used only in very rare cases. Let discuss one example
of multiple processors allocating from the same cache. The first thing that
happens when the slab is empty is that every processors gets its own slab
(the "active" slab). This does not require the list_lock because we
get a page from the page allocator and that immediately becomes the
active slab. Now all processors allocate from their slabs. This also
does not require any access to the partial lists so no list_lock is taken.
If a slab becomes full then each processor is simply forgetting about
the slab and gets a new one from the page allocator.
As long as all processors are just allocating no list_lock is needed at all.
If a free now happens then things get a bit more complicated. If the free
occurs on an active page then again no list_lock needs to be taken.
The slab lock may be contended since it is under current allocation by
a processor.
If the free occurs on a fully allocated page then we make a partially
allocated page from a full page. Now the list_lock will be taken and
the page is put on the partial list.
If further frees occur on a partially allocated page then also no
list_lock needs to be taken because it is still a partially allocated
page. This works until the page has no objects left. At that point
we take the page of the list of partial slabs to free it and that
requires the list_lock again.
IF a processors has filled up its active slab and needs a new one then
it will first check if there are partially allocated slabs available.
If so then it will take a partially allocated slab and begin to fill
it up. That also requires taking the list lock.
So the contention of the list_lock has been minimized. I have not tested
this on larger systems that 8p yet but I expect the contention to be
manageable.
