Subject: [PATCH v4 4/4] mm/sparse: Optimize memmap allocation during sparse_init()
In sparse_init(), two temporary pointer arrays, usemap_map and map_map
are allocated with the size of NR_MEM_SECTIONS. They are used to store
each memory section's usemap and mem map if marked as present. With
the help of these two arrays, continuous memory chunk is allocated for
usemap and memmap for memory sections on one node. This avoids too many
memory fragmentations. Like below diagram, '1' indicates the present
memory section, '0' means absent one. The number 'n' could be much
smaller than NR_MEM_SECTIONS on most of systems.
|1|1|1|1|0|0|0|0|1|1|0|0|...|1|0||1|0|...|1||0|1|...|0|
-------------------------------------------------------
0 1 2 3 4 5 i i+1 n-1 n
If fail to populate the page tables to map one section's memmap, its
->section_mem_map will be cleared finally to indicate that it's not present.
After use, these two arrays will be released at the end of sparse_init().
In 4-level paging mode, each array costs 4M which can be ignorable. While
in 5-level paging, they costs 256M each, 512M altogether. Kdump kernel
Usually only reserves very few memory, e.g 256M. So, even thouth they are
temporarily allocated, still not acceptable.
In fact, there's no need to allocate them with the size of NR_MEM_SECTIONS.
Since the ->section_mem_map clearing has been deferred to the last, the
number of present memory sections are kept the same during sparse_init()
until we finally clear out the memory section's ->section_mem_map if its
usemap or memmap is not correctly handled. Thus in the middle whenever
for_each_present_section_nr() loop is taken, the i-th present memory
section is always the same one.
Here only allocate usemap_map and map_map with the size of
'nr_present_sections'. For the i-th present memory section, install its
usemap and memmap to usemap_map[i] and mam_map[i] during allocation. Then
in the last for_each_present_section_nr() loop which clears the failed
memory section's ->section_mem_map, fetch usemap and memmap from
usemap_map[] and map_map[] array and set them into mem_section[]
accordingly.
