Subject: [PATCH 0/3] make vm_committed_as_batch aware of vm overcommit policy
Date: Fri, 8 May 2020 15:25:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1588922717-63697-1-git-send-email-feng.tang@intel.com> (raw)
When checking a performance change for will-it-scale scalability
mmap test [1], we found very high lock contention for spinlock of
percpu counter 'vm_committed_as':
94.14% 0.35% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
48.21% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave;percpu_counter_add_batch;__vm_enough_memory;mmap_region;do_mmap;
45.91% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave;percpu_counter_add_batch;__do_munmap;
Actually this heavy lock contention is not always necessary. The
'vm_committed_as' needs to be very precise when the strict
OVERCOMMIT_NEVER policy is set, which requires a rather small batch
number for the percpu counter.
So lift the batch number to 16X for OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS and
OVERCOMMIT_GUESS policies, and add a sysctl handler to adjust it
when the policy is reconfigured.
Benchmark with the same testcase in [1] shows 53% improvement on a
8C/16T desktop, and 2097%(20X) on a 4S/72C/144T server. And no change
for some platforms, due to the test mmap size of the case is bigger
than the batch number computed, though the patch will help mmap/munmap
generally.

There are some style complain from checkpatch for patch 3, as it
follows the similar format of sibling functions
patch1: a cleanup for /proc/meminfo
patch2: a preparation patch which also improve the accuracy of
vm_memory_committed
patch3: the main change
Please help to review, thanks!

----------------------------------------------------------------
Changelog:
v2:
* add the sysctl handler to cover runtime overcommit policy
change, as suggested by Andres Morton
* address the accuracy concern of vm_memory_committed()
from Andi Kleen
Feng Tang (3):
proc/meminfo: avoid open coded reading of vm_committed_as
mm/util.c: make vm_memory_committed() more accurate
mm: adjust vm_committed_as_batch according to vm overcommit policy
