Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] kmalloc-reclaimable caches
v2 changes:
- shorten cache names to kmalloc-rcl-<SIZE>
- last patch shortens <SIZE> for all kmalloc caches to e.g. "1k", "4M"
- include dma caches to the 2D kmalloc_caches[] array to avoid a branch
- vmstat counter nr_indirectly_reclaimable_bytes renamed to
nr_kernel_misc_reclaimable, doesn't include kmalloc-rcl-*
- /proc/meminfo counter renamed to KReclaimable, includes kmalloc-rcl*
and nr_kernel_misc_reclaimable
Hi,
as discussed at LSF/MM [1] here's a patchset that introduces
kmalloc-reclaimable caches (more details in the second patch) and uses them for
SLAB freelists and dcache external names. The latter allows us to repurpose the
NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES counter later in the series.
This is how /proc/slabinfo looks like after booting in virtme:
...
kmalloc-rcl-4M 0 0 4194304 1 1024 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0
...
kmalloc-rcl-96 7 32 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 1 1 0
kmalloc-rcl-64 25 128 64 64 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 2 2 0
kmalloc-rcl-32 0 0 32 124 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 0 0 0
kmalloc-4M 0 0 4194304 1 1024 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0
kmalloc-2M 0 0 2097152 1 512 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0
kmalloc-1M 0 0 1048576 1 256 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0
...
/proc/vmstat with renamed nr_indirectly_reclaimable_bytes counter:
...
nr_slab_reclaimable 2817
nr_slab_unreclaimable 1781
...
nr_kernel_misc_reclaimable 0
...
/proc/meminfo with new KReclaimable counter:
...
Shmem: 564 kB
KReclaimable: 11260 kB
Slab: 18368 kB
SReclaimable: 11260 kB
SUnreclaim: 7108 kB
KernelStack: 1248 kB
...
Thanks,
Vlastimil

mm, slab: combine kmalloc_caches and kmalloc_dma_caches
mm, slab/slub: introduce kmalloc-reclaimable caches
mm, slab: allocate off-slab freelists as reclaimable when appropriate
dcache: allocate external names from reclaimable kmalloc caches
mm: rename and change semantics of nr_indirectly_reclaimable_bytes
mm, proc: add KReclaimable to /proc/meminfo
mm, slab: shorten kmalloc cache names for large sizes
