| H A D | debugobjects.c | d86998b1 Mon May 20 09:14:46 CDT 2019 Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> debugobjects: Add percpu free pools
When a multi-threaded workload does a lot of small memory object
allocations and deallocations, it may cause the allocation and freeing of
many debug objects. This will make the global pool_lock a bottleneck in the
performance of the workload. Since interrupts are disabled when acquiring
the pool_lock, it may even cause hard lockups to happen.
To reduce contention of the global pool_lock, add a percpu debug object
free pool that can be used to buffer some of the debug object allocation
and freeing requests without acquiring the pool_lock. Each CPU will now
have a percpu free pool that can hold up to a maximum of 64 debug
objects. Allocation and freeing requests will go to the percpu free pool
first. If that fails, the pool_lock will be taken and the global free pool
will be used.
The presence or absence of obj_cache is used as a marker to see if the
percpu cache should be used.
