It is similar to the old vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction. The old sysctl increased both pcp->batch and pcp->high with the higher pcp->high potentially reducing zone->lock contention. However, the higher pcp->batch value also potentially increased allocation latency while the PCP was refilled. This sysctl only adjusts pcp->high so that zone->lock contention is potentially reduced but allocation latency during a PCP refill remains the same. # grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2 high: 649 batch: 63 # sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=8 # grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2 high: 35071 batch: 63 # sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=64 high: 4383 batch: 63 # sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=0 high: 649 batch: 63 Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman Acked-by: Dave Hansen --- Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/vm.rst | 20 +++++++ include/linux/mmzone.h | 3 ++ kernel/sysctl.c | 8 +++ mm/page_alloc.c | 69 ++++++++++++++++++++++--- 4 files changed, 93 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/vm.rst b/Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/vm.rst index 2fcafccb53a8..e85c2f21d209 100644 --- a/Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/vm.rst +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/vm.rst @@ -64,6 +64,7 @@ files can be found in mm/swap.c. - overcommit_ratio - page-cluster - panic_on_oom +- percpu_pagelist_high_fraction - stat_interval - stat_refresh - numa_stat @@ -789,6 +790,25 @@ panic_on_oom=2+kdump gives you very strong tool to investigate why oom happens.
