Subject: [PATCH 4/4] rcu/kvfree: Use a polled API to speedup a reclaim process
Currently all objects placed into a batch require a full GP
after passing which objects in a batch are eligible to be
freed.
The problem is that many pointers may already passed several
GP sequences so there is no need for them in extra delay and
such objects can be reclaimed right away without waiting.
In order to reduce a memory footprint this patch introduces
a per-page-grace-period-controlling mechanism. It allows us
to distinguish pointers for which a grace period is passed
and for which not.
A reclaim thread in its turn frees a memory in a reverse
order starting from a tail because a GP is likely passed
for objects in a page. If a page with a GP sequence in a
list hits a condition when a GP is not ready we bail out
requesting one more grace period in order to complete a
drain process for left pages.
Test example:
kvm.sh --memory 10G --torture rcuscale --allcpus --duration 1 \
--kconfig CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64 \
--kconfig CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y \
--kconfig CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL=y \
--kconfig CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=n \
--bootargs "rcuscale.kfree_rcu_test=1 rcuscale.kfree_nthreads=16 \
rcuscale.holdoff=20 rcuscale.kfree_loops=10000 \
torture.disable_onoff_at_boot" --trust-make
