Subject: [PATCH v2 3/8] mm/page_alloc: fix pcp high, batch management
per cpu pages structure, aka pcp, has high and batch values to control
how many pages we perform caching. This values could be updated
asynchronously and updater should ensure that this doesn't make any
problem. For this purpose, pageset_update() is implemented and do some
memory synchronization. But, it turns out to be wrong when I implemented
new feature using this. There is no corresponding smp_rmb() in read-side
so that it can't guarantee anything. Without correct updating, system
could hang in free_pcppages_bulk() due to larger batch value than high.
To properly update this values, we need to synchronization primitives on
read-side, but, it hurts allocator's fastpath.
There is another choice for synchronization, that is, sending IPI. This
is somewhat expensive, but, this is really rare case so I guess it has
no problem here. However, reducing IPI is very helpful here. Current
logic handles each CPU's pcp update one by one. To reduce sending IPI,
we need to re-ogranize the code to handle all CPU's pcp update at one go.
This patch implement these requirements.
