Subject: [PATCH] modules: Use a better scheme for refcounting
From: Eric Dumazet <dada1@...mosbay.com>
(Linus, please apply. This has become critical with NR_CPUS 4096: we
currently use an astonishing 1GB additional space for 2000 modules.)
Current refcounting for modules (done if CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y)
is using a lot of memory.
Each 'struct module' contains an [NR_CPUS] array of full cache lines.
This patch uses existing infrastructure (percpu_modalloc() &
percpu_modfree()) to allocate percpu space for the refcount storage.
Instead of wasting NR_CPUS*128 bytes (on i386), we now use
nr_cpu_ids*sizeof(local_t) bytes.
On a typical distro, where NR_CPUS=8, shiping 2000 modules, we reduce
size of module files by about 2 Mbytes. (1Kb per module)
Instead of having all refcounters in the same memory node - with TLB misses
because of vmalloc() - this new implementation permits to have better
NUMA properties, since each CPU will use storage on its preferred node,
thanks to percpu storage.
