From ddbf369c0a33924f76d092985bd20d9310f43d7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2018 15:49:58 -0700 Subject: mm, vmacache: hash addresses based on pmd When perf profiling a wide variety of different workloads, it was found that vmacache_find() had higher than expected cost: up to 0.08% of cpu utilization in some cases. This was found to rival other core VM functions such as alloc_pages_vma() with thp enabled and default mempolicy, and the conditionals in __get_vma_policy(). VMACACHE_HASH() determines which of the four per-task_struct slots a vma is cached for a particular address. This currently depends on the pfn, so pfn 5212 occupies a different vmacache slot than its neighboring pfn 5213. vmacache_find() iterates through all four of current's vmacache slots when looking up an address. Hashing based on pfn, an address has ~1/VMACACHE_SIZE chance of being cached in the first vmacache slot, or about 25%, *if* the vma is cached. This patch hashes an address by its pmd instead of pte to optimize for workloads with good spatial locality. This results in a higher probability of vmas being cached in the first slot that is checked: normally ~70% on the same workloads instead of 25%.
