Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] iommu/iova: use named kmem_cache for iova magazines

From: Pasha Tatashin <[email protected]>

The magazine buffers can take gigabytes of kmem memory, dominating all
other allocations. For observability purpose create named slab cache so
the iova magazine memory overhead can be clearly observed.

With this change:

Active / Total Objects (% used) : 869731 / 952904 (91.3%)
Active / Total Slabs (% used) : 103411 / 103974 (99.5%)
Active / Total Caches (% used) : 135 / 211 (64.0%)
Active / Total Size (% used) : 395389.68K / 411430.20K (96.1%)
Minimum / Average / Maximum Object : 0.02K / 0.43K / 8.00K

75744 74844 98% 0.12K 2367 32 9468K kernfs_node_cache

On this machine it is now clear that magazine use 242M of kmem memory.

Those caches could do with a trimming ...

See the discussion on v1 for more details:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/[email protected]/

but it seems this really is the idle baseline for lots of CPUs * lots of
domains - if all those devices get going in anger it's likely that
combined iova + iova_magazine usage truly will blow up into gigabytes.

Cheers,
Robin.
