Subject: [RFC][PATCH] mm: merge as soon as possible when pcp alloc/free
Usually the memory of android phones is very small, so after a long
running, the fragment is very large. Kernel stack which called by
alloc_thread_stack_node() usually alloc 16K memory, and it failed
frequently.
However we have CONFIG_VMAP_STACK now, but it do not support arm64,
and maybe it has some regression because of vmalloc, it need to
find an area and create page table dynamically, this will take a short
time.
I think we can merge as soon as possible when pcp alloc/free to reduce
fragment. The pcp page is hot page, so free it will cause cache miss,
I use perf to test it, but it seems the regression is not so much, maybe
it need to test more. Any reply is welcome.
no patch:
perf stat -e cache-misses make -j50
