Date: Wed, 11 May 2011 16:29:33 +0100

Message-Id: <1305127773-10570-4-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid locking and per-cpu overhead, SLUB optimisically uses
|
||||
high-order allocations up to order-3 by default and falls back to
|
||||
lower allocations if they fail. While care is taken that the caller
|
||||
and kswapd take no unusual steps in response to this, there are
|
||||
further consequences like shrinkers who have to free more objects to
|
||||
release any memory. There is anecdotal evidence that significant time
|
||||
is being spent looping in shrinkers with insufficient progress being
|
||||
made (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/28/361) and keeping kswapd awake.
|
||||
|
||||
SLUB is now the default allocator and some bug reports have been
|
||||
pinned down to SLUB using high orders during operations like
|
||||
copying large amounts of data. SLUBs use of high-orders benefits
|
||||
applications that are sized to memory appropriately but this does not
|
||||
necessarily apply to large file servers or desktops. This patch
|
||||
causes SLUB to use order-0 pages like SLAB does by default.
|
||||
There is further evidence that this keeps kswapd's usage lower
|
||||
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/5/10/383).

Johannes Weiner poined out that the logic in commit [1741c877: mm:
|

kswapd: keep kswapd awake for high-order allocations until a percentage
|
||||
of the node is balanced] is backwards. Instead of allowing kswapd to go
|
||||
to sleep when balancing for high order allocations, it keeps it kswapd
|
||||
running uselessly.
