References: <20100804024514.139976032@linux.com> Content-Disposition: inline; filename=unified_shared_cache Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 17232 Lines: 660 Strictly a performance enhancement by better tracking of objects that are likely in the lowest cpu caches of processors. SLAB uses one shared cache per NUMA node or one globally. However, that is not satifactory for contemporary cpus. Those may have multiple independent cpu caches per node. SLAB in these situation treats cache cold objects like cache hot objects. The shared caches of slub are per physical cpu cache for all cpus using that cache. Shared cache content will not cross physical caches. The shared cache can be dynamically configured via /sys/kernel/slab//shared_queue The current shared cache state is available via cat /sys/kernel/slab/ Shared caches are always allocated in the sizes available in the kmalloc array. Cache sizes are rounded up to the sizes available. F.e. on my Dell with 8 cpus in 2 packages in which each 2 cpus shared an l2 cache I get: christoph@:/sys/kernel/slab$ cat kmalloc-64/shared_caches 384 C0,2=66/126 C1,3=126/126 C4,6=126/126 C5,7=66/126 christoph@:/sys/kernel/slab$ cat kmalloc-64/per_cpu_caches 617 C0=54/125 C1=37/125 C2=102/125 C3=76/125 C4=81/125 C5=108/125 C6=72/125 C7=87/125 Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter --- include/linux/slub_def.h | 9 + mm/slub.c | 423 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 2 files changed, 405 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) Index: linux-2.6/include/linux/slub_def.h =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.orig/include/linux/slub_def.h 2010-08-03 13:04:49.000000000 -0500 +++ linux-2.6/include/linux/slub_def.h 2010-08-03 15:52:01.000000000 -0500 @@ -24,6 +24,8 @@ enum stat_item { ALLOC_FROM_PARTIAL, /* slab with objects acquired from partial */ ALLOC_SLAB, /* New slab acquired from page allocator */ ALLOC_REMOTE, /* Allocation from remote slab */ + ALLOC_SHARED, /* Allocation caused a shared cache transaction */ + FREE_SHARED, /* Free caused a shared cache transaction */ FREE_ALIEN, /* Free to alien node */ FREE_SLAB, /* Slab freed to the page allocator */ QUEUE_FLUSH, /* Flushing of the per cpu queue */ @@ -34,6 +36,10 @@ enum stat_item { struct kmem_cache_queue { int objects;
