Multithreading naturally addresses this problem, and this series is the first step. It extends padata, a framework that handles many parallel singlethreaded jobs, to handle multithreaded jobs as well by adding support for splitting up the work evenly, specifying a minimum amount of work that's appropriate for one helper thread to do, load balancing between helpers, and coordinating them. More documentation in patches 4 and 7. The first user is deferred struct page init, a large bottleneck in kernel boot--actually the largest for us and likely others too. This path doesn't require concurrency limits, resource control, or priority adjustments like future users will (vfio, hugetlb fallocate, munmap) because it happens during boot when the system is otherwise idle and waiting on page init to finish. This has been tested on a variety of x86 systems and speeds up kernel boot by 6% to 49% by making deferred init 63% to 91% faster. Patch 6 has detailed numbers. Test results from other systems appreciated. This series is based on v5.6 plus these three from mmotm: mm-call-touch_nmi_watchdog-on-max-order-boundaries-in-deferred-init.patch mm-initialize-deferred-pages-with-interrupts-enabled.patch mm-call-cond_resched-from-deferred_init_memmap.patch All of the above can be found in this branch: git://oss.oracle.com/git/linux-dmjordan.git padata-mt-definit-v1 https://oss.oracle.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-dmjordan.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/padata-mt-definit-v1 The future users and related features are available as work-in-progress here: git://oss.oracle.com/git/linux-dmjordan.git padata-mt-wip-v0.3 https://oss.oracle.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-dmjordan.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/padata-mt-wip-v0.3 Thanks to everyone who commented on the last version of this[0], including Alex Williamson, Jason Gunthorpe, Jonathan Corbet, Michal Hocko, Pavel Machek, Peter Zijlstra, Randy Dunlap, Robert Elliott, Tejun Heo, and Zi Yan. RFC v4 -> padata v1: - merged with padata (Peter) - got rid of the 'task' nomenclature (Peter, Jon) future work branch: - made lockdep-aware (Jason, Peter) - adjust workqueue worker priority with renice_or_cancel() (Tejun) - fixed undo problem in VFIO (Alex) The remaining feedback, mainly resource control awareness (cgroup etc), is TODO for later series.
