mm, pcp: reduce lock contention for draining high-order pages
In commit f26b3fa04611 ("mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order pages
on PCP during bulk free"), the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) will be drained when
PCP is mostly used for high-order pages freeing to improve the cache-hot
pages reusing between page allocating and freeing CPUs.
On system with small per-CPU data cache slice, pages shouldn't be cached
before draining to guarantee cache-hot. But on a system with large
per-CPU data cache slice, some pages can be cached before draining to
reduce zone lock contention.
So, in this patch, instead of draining without any caching, "pcp->batch"
pages will be cached in PCP before draining if the size of the per-CPU
data cache slice is more than "3 * batch".
In theory, if the size of per-CPU data cache slice is more than "2 *
batch", we can reuse cache-hot pages between CPUs. But considering the
other usage of cache (code, other data accessing, etc.), "3 * batch" is
used.
Note: "3 * batch" is chosen to make sure the optimization works on recent
x86_64 server CPUs. If you want to increase it, please check whether it
breaks the optimization.
On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, with the patch, the
network bandwidth of the UNIX (AF_UNIX) test case of lmbench test suite
with 16-pair processes increase 70.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock
contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 46.1% to 21.3%. The
number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases
89.9%. The cache miss rate keeps 0.2%.
