Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo: "A lot of changes for percpu this time around. percpu inherited the same area allocator from the original pre-virtual-address-mapped implementation. This was from the time when percpu allocator wasn't used all that much and the implementation was focused on simplicity, with the unfortunate computational complexity of O(number of areas allocated from the chunk) per alloc / free. With the increase in percpu usage, we're hitting cases where the lack of scalability is hurting. The most prominent one right now is bpf perpcu map creation / destruction which may allocate and free a lot of entries consecutively and it's likely that the problem will become more prominent in the future. To address the issue, Dennis replaced the area allocator with hinted bitmap allocator which is more consistent. While the new allocator does perform a bit worse in some cases, it outperforms the old allocator way more than an order of magnitude in other more common scenarios while staying mostly flat in CPU overhead and completely flat in memory consumption" * 'for-4.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: (27 commits) percpu: update header to contain bitmap allocator explanation. percpu: update pcpu_find_block_fit to use an iterator percpu: use metadata blocks to update the chunk contig hint percpu: update free path to take advantage of contig hints percpu: update alloc path to only scan if contig hints are broken percpu: keep track of the best offset for contig hints percpu: skip chunks if the alloc does not fit in the contig hint percpu: add first_bit to keep track of the first free in the bitmap percpu: introduce bitmap metadata blocks percpu: replace area map allocator with bitmap percpu: generalize bitmap (un)populated iterators percpu: increase minimum percpu allocation size and align first regions percpu: introduce nr_empty_pop_pages to help empty page accounting percpu: change the number of pages marked in the first_chunk pop bitmap percpu: combine percpu address checks percpu: modify base_addr to be region specific percpu: setup_first_chunk rename schunk/dchunk to chunk percpu: end chunk area maps page aligned for the populated bitmap percpu: unify allocation of schunk and dchunk percpu: setup_first_chunk remove dyn_size and consolidate logic ... |
