You can get snapshot. +percpu_pagelist_high_fraction +============================= + +This is the fraction of pages in each zone that are can be stored to +per-cpu page lists. It is an upper boundary that is divided depending +on the number of online CPUs. The min value for this is 8 which means +that we do not allow more than 1/8th of pages in each zone to be stored +on per-cpu page lists. This entry only changes the value of hot per-cpu +page lists. A user can specify a number like 100 to allocate 1/100th of +each zone between per-cpu lists. + +The batch value of each per-cpu page list remains the same regardless of +the value of the high fraction so allocation latencies are unaffected. + +The initial value is zero. Kernel uses this value to set the high pcp->high +mark based on the low watermark for the zone and the number of local +online CPUs. If the user writes '0' to this sysctl, it will revert to +this default behavior. + + stat_interval ============= diff --git a/include/linux/mmzone.h b/include/linux/mmzone.h index b2f40d64bc4b..7d206ca850c7 100644 --- a/include/linux/mmzone.h +++ b/include/linux/mmzone.h @@ -1029,12 +1029,15 @@ int watermark_scale_factor_sysctl_handler(struct ctl_table *, int, void *, extern int sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[MAX_NR_ZONES]; int lowmem_reserve_ratio_sysctl_handler(struct ctl_table *, int, void *, size_t *, loff_t *); +int percpu_pagelist_high_fraction_sysctl_handler(struct ctl_table *, int, + void *, size_t *, loff_t *); int sysctl_min_unmapped_ratio_sysctl_handler(struct ctl_table *, int, void *, size_t *, loff_t *); int sysctl_min_slab_ratio_sysctl_handler(struct ctl_table *, int, void *, size_t *, loff_t *); int numa_zonelist_order_handler(struct ctl_table *, int, void *, size_t *, loff_t *); +extern int percpu_pagelist_high_fraction; extern char numa_zonelist_order[]; #define NUMA_ZONELIST_ORDER_LEN 16 diff --git a/kernel/sysctl.c b/kernel/sysctl.c index 51213c33171e..69d925f1e5da 100644 --- a/kernel/sysctl.c +++ b/kernel/sysctl.c @@ -2909,6 +2909,14 @@ static struct ctl_table vm_table[] = { .extra2 = &one_thousand, }, { + .procname = "percpu_pagelist_high_fraction", + .data = &percpu_pagelist_high_fraction, + .maxlen = sizeof(percpu_pagelist_high_fraction), + .mode = 0644, + .proc_handler = percpu_pagelist_high_fraction_sysctl_handler, + .extra1 = SYSCTL_ZERO, + }, + { .procname = "page_lock_unfairness", .data = &sysctl_page_lock_unfairness, .maxlen = sizeof(sysctl_page_lock_unfairness), diff --git a/mm/page_alloc.c b/mm/page_alloc.c index adf35ccfd8e5..cfc4071310fb 100644 --- a/mm/page_alloc.c +++ b/mm/page_alloc.c @@ -120,6 +120,7 @@ typedef int __bitwise fpi_t; /* prevent >1 _updater_ of zone percpu pageset ->high and ->batch fields */ static DEFINE_MUTEX(pcp_batch_high_lock); +#define MIN_PERCPU_PAGELIST_HIGH_FRACTION (8) struct pagesets { local_lock_t lock; @@ -192,6 +193,7 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(_totalram_pages); unsigned long totalreserve_pages __read_mostly; unsigned long totalcma_pages __read_mostly; +int percpu_pagelist_high_fraction; gfp_t gfp_allowed_mask __read_mostly = GFP_BOOT_MASK; DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_MAYBE(CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON, init_on_alloc); EXPORT_SYMBOL(init_on_alloc); @@ -6725,17 +6727,32 @@ static int zone_highsize(struct zone *zone, int batch, int cpu_online) #ifdef CONFIG_MMU int high; int nr_local_cpus; + unsigned long total_pages; + + if (!percpu_pagelist_high_fraction) { + /* + * By default, the high value of the pcp is based on the zone + * low watermark so that if they are full then background + * reclaim will not be started prematurely. + */ + total_pages = low_wmark_pages(zone); + } else { + /* + * If percpu_pagelist_high_fraction is configured, the high + * value is based on a fraction of the managed pages in the + * zone. + */ + total_pages = zone_managed_pages(zone) / percpu_pagelist_high_fraction; + } /* - * The high value of the pcp is based on the zone low watermark - * so that if they are full then background reclaim will not be - * started prematurely.
