Subject: [PATCH] zsmalloc: merge size_class to reduce fragmentation
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2014 17:30:11 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1411461011-17959-1-git-send-email-iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> (raw)
zsmalloc has many size_classes to reduce fragmentation and they are
in 16 bytes unit, for example, 16, 32, 48, etc., if PAGE_SIZE is 4096.
And, zsmalloc has constraint that each zspage has 4 pages at maximum.
In this situation, we can see interesting aspect.
Let's think about size_class for 1488, 1472, ..., 1376.
To prevent external fragmentation, they uses 4 pages per zspage and
so all they can contain 11 objects at maximum.
16384 (4096 * 4) = 1488 * 11 + remains
16384 (4096 * 4) = 1472 * 11 + remains
16384 (4096 * 4) = ...
16384 (4096 * 4) = 1376 * 11 + remains
It means that they have same chracteristics and classification between
them isn't needed. If we use one size_class for them, we can reduce
fragementation and save some memory. Below is result of my simple test.
TEST ENV: EXT4 on zram, mount with discard option
WORKLOAD: untar kernel source code, remove directory in descending order
in size. (drivers arch fs sound include net Documentation firmware
kernel tools)
Each line represents orig_data_size, compr_data_size, mem_used_total,
fragmentation overhead (mem_used - compr_data_size) and overhead ratio
(overhead to compr_data_size), respectively, after untar and remove
operation is executed.

53.32MB 8.01MB 11.73MB 3.73MB 46.53%
As you can see above result, merged one has better utilization (overhead
ratio, 5th column) and uses less memory (mem_used_total, 3rd column).
