Subject: [PATCH v4] debugobjects: scale the static pool size
Date:   Tue, 20 Nov 2018 21:11:57 -0500
Message-Id: <20181121021157.3061-1-cai@gmx.us>
In-Reply-To: <20181120232810.2503-1-cai@gmx.us>
References: <20181120232810.2503-1-cai@gmx.us>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The current value of the early boot static pool size is not big enough
for systems with large number of CPUs with timer or/and workqueue
objects selected. As the results, systems have 60+ CPUs with both timer
and workqueue objects enabled could trigger "ODEBUG: Out of memory.
ODEBUG disabled". Hence, fixed it by computing it according to
CONFIG_NR_CPUS and CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_* options.

Changes since v3:
* style fixes

Changes since v2:
* Made the calculation easier to read suggested by longman@redhat.com.

Changes since v1:
* Removed the CONFIG_NR_CPUS check since it is always defined.
* Introduced a minimal default pool size to start with. Otherwise, the pool
  size would be too low for systems only with a small number of CPUs.
* Adjusted the scale factors according to data.

+ * Some debug objects are allocated during the early boot. Enabling some options
+ * like timers or workqueue objects may increase the size required significantly
+ * with large number of CPUs. For example (as today, 20 Nov. 2018),
+ *
+ * No. CPUs x 2 (worker pool) objects:
+ *
+ * start_kernel
+ *   workqueue_init_early
+ *     init_worker_pool
+ *       init_timer_key
+ *         debug_object_init
+ *
+ * No. CPUs objects (CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS):
+ *
+ * sched_init
+ *   hrtick_rq_init
+ *     hrtimer_init
+ *
+ * CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_WORK:
+ * No. CPUs x 6 (workqueue) objects:
+ *
+ * workqueue_init_early
+ *   alloc_workqueue
+ *     __alloc_workqueue_key
+ *       alloc_and_link_pwqs
+ *         init_pwq
+ *
+ * Also, plus No. CPUs objects:
+ *
+ * perf_event_init
+ *    __init_srcu_struct
+ *      init_srcu_struct_fields
+ *        init_srcu_struct_nodes
+ *          __init_work
+ *
+ * Increase the number a bit more in case the implmentatins are changed in the
+ * future, as it is better to avoid OOM than spending a bit more kernel memory
+ * that will/can be freed.
+ *
+ * With all debug objects config options selected except the workqueue and the
+ * timers, kernel reports,
+ * 64-CPU:  ODEBUG: 4 of 4 active objects replaced
+ * 256-CPU: ODEBUG: 4 of 4 active objects replaced
+ *
+ * all the options except the workqueue:
+ * 64-CPU:  ODEBUG: 466 of 466 active objects replaced
+ * 256-CPU: ODEBUG: 1810 of 1810 active objects replaced
+ *
+ * all the options except the timers:
+ * 64-CPU:  ODEBUG: 652 of 652 active objects replaced
+ * 256-CPU: ODEBUG: 2572 of 2572 active objects replaced
+ *
+ * all the options:
+ * 64-CPU:  ODEBUG: 1114 of 1114 active objects replaced
+ * 256-CPU: ODEBUG: 4378 of 4378 active objects replaced
