Subject: [PATCH 5/7] mm/page_alloc: Protect PCP lists with a spinlock
Currently the PCP lists are protected by using local_lock_irqsave to
prevent migration and IRQ reentrancy but this is inconvenient. Remote
draining of the lists is impossible and a workqueue is required and every
task allocation/free must disable then enable interrupts which is
expensive.
As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the lists
with a spinlock. The IRQ-unsafe version of the lock is used because IRQs
are already disabled by local_lock_irqsave. spin_trylock is used in
preparation for a time when local_lock could be used instead of
lock_lock_irqsave.
The per_cpu_pages still fits within the same number of cache lines after
this patch relative to before the series.
struct per_cpu_pages {
spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */
int count; /* 4 4 */
int high; /* 8 4 */
int batch; /* 12 4 */
short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */
short int expire; /* 18 2 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */
/* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */
/* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
/* padding: 24 */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(64)));
There is overhead in the fast path due to acquiring the spinlock even
though the spinlock is per-cpu and uncontended in the common case. Page

1 socket machine.

CoeffVar faults/sec-8 0.2399 ( 0.00%) 0.2032 ( 15.28%)
There is a small hit in the number of faults per second but given that the
results are more stable, it's borderline noise.
