kmalloc will round up the request size to power of 2, and current
iova_magazine's size is 1032 (1024+8) bytes, so each instance
allocated will get 2048 bytes from kmalloc, causing around 1KB
waste.
And in some exstreme case, the memory wasted can trigger OOM as
reported in 2019 on a crash kernel with 256 MB memory [1].

I do wonder if we will see some strange new behaviour since IOVA_FQ_SIZE

I don't think it really needs pointing out that excessive memory
consumption can cause OOM. Especially not in the particularly silly
context of a system with only 2MB of RAM per CPU - that's pretty much
guaranteed to be doomed one way or another.

Yes, the 256MB for 128 CPU is kind of extreme, will remove this.

I doubt it - even if a flush queue does happen to be entirely full of
equal-sized IOVAs, a CPU's loaded magazines also both being perfectly
empty when it comes to dump a full fq seem further unlikely, so in
practice I don't see this making any appreciable change to the
likelihood of spilling back to the depot or not. In fact the smaller the
magazines get, the less time would be spent flushing the depot back to
the rbtree, where your interesting workload falls off the cliff and
never catches back up with the fq timer, so at some point it might even
improve (unless it's also already close to the point where smaller
caches would bottleneck allocation)... might be interesting to
experiment with a wider range of magazine sizes if you had the time and
inclination.
Cheers,
Robin.

Note for Feng Tang: This callchain does not exist anymore since we
separated out the rcache init from the IOVA domain init. Indeed, not so
much memory is wasted for unused rcaches now.
My point really is that it would be nicer to see a modern callchain -
but don't read that as me saying that the change is this patch is bad.

ok, what you are saying sounds reasonable. I just remember that when we
analyzed the longterm aging issue that we concluded that the FQ size and
its relation to the magazine size was a factor and this change makes me
a little worried about new issues. Better the devil you know and all that...
Anyway, if I get some time I might do some testing to see if this change
has any influence.
Another thought is if we need even store the size in the iova_magazine?
mags in the depot are always full. As such, we only need worry about
mags loaded in the cpu rcache and their sizes, so maybe we could have
something like this:
struct iova_magazine {
- unsigned long size;
unsigned long pfns[IOVA_MAG_SIZE];
};
@@ -631,6 +630,8 @@ struct iova_cpu_rcache {
spinlock_t lock;
struct iova_magazine *loaded;
struct iova_magazine *prev;
+ int loaded_size;
+ int prev_size;
};
I haven't tried to implement it though..
Thanks,
John

Thanks for the info, I also planned to remove the callstack as Robin suggested.

I have very few knowledge of iova, so you can chose what's the better
solution. I just wanted to raise the problem and will be happy to see
it solved :)

I quickly tested your patch for performance and saw no noticeable
difference, which is no surprise.
But I'll defer to Robin if he thinks that your patch is a better
solution - I would guess that he does. For me personally I would prefer
that this value was not changed, as I mentioned before.

This idea is interesting, but it would mean a bit more fiddly work to
keep things in sync when magazines are allocated, freed and swapped
around. It seems like the kind of non-obvious thing that might make
sense if it gave a significant improvement in cache locality or
something like that, but for simply fixing an allocation size it feels a
bit too wacky.
From my perspective, indeed I'd rather do the simple thing for now to
address the memory wastage issue directly, then we can do the deeper
performance analysis on top to see if further tweaking of magazine sizes
and/or design is justified.
Cheers,
Robin.
