Subject: [PATCH 00/21] Optimise page alloc/free fast paths
Another year, another round of page allocator optimisations focusing this
time on the alloc and free fast paths. This should be of help to workloads
that are allocator-intensive from kernel space where the cost of zeroing
is not nceessraily incurred.
The series is motivated by the observation that page alloc microbenchmarks
on multiple machines regressed between 3.12.44 and 4.4. Second, there is
discussions before LSF/MM considering the possibility of adding another
page allocator which is potentially hazardous but a patch series improving
performance is better than whining.
After the series is applied, there are still hazards. In the free paths,
the debugging checking and page zone/pageblock lookups dominate but
there was not an obvious solution to that. In the alloc path, the major
contributers are dealing with zonelists, new page preperation, the fair
zone allocation and numerous statistic updates. The fair zone allocator
is removed by the per-node LRU series if that gets merged so it's nor a
major concern at the moment.
On normal userspace benchmarks, there is little impact as the zeroing cost
is significant but it's visible
