Subject: [RFC 8/8] Reduce inode memory usage for systems with a high MAX_NUMNODES
Dynamically reduce the size of the nodemask_t in struct inode
The nodemask_t in struct inode can potentially waste a lot of memory if
MAX_NUMNODES is high. For IA64 MAX_NUMNODES is 1024 by default which
results in 128 bytes to be used for the nodemask. This means that the
memory use for inodes may increase significantly since they all now
include a dirty_map. These may be unecessarily large on smaller systems.
We placed the nodemask at the end of struct inode. This patch avoids
touching the later part of the nodemask if the actual maximum possible
node on the system is less than 1024. If MAX_NUMNODES is larger than
BITS_PER_LONG (and we may use more than one word for the nodemask) then
we calculate the number of bytes that may be taken off the end of
an inode. We can then create the inode caches without those bytes
effectively saving memory. On a IA64 system booting with a
maximum of 64 nodes we may save 120 of those 128 bytes per inode.
This is only done for filesystems that are typically used for NUMA
systems: xfs, nfs, ext3, ext4 and reiserfs. Other filesystems will
always use the full length of the inode.
This solution may be a bit hokey. I tried other approaches but this
one seemed to be the simplest with the least complications. Maybe someone
else can come up with a better solution?
