Patch series "make vm_committed_as_batch aware of vm overcommit policy", v6. When checking a performance change for will-it-scale scalability mmap test [1], we found very high lock contention for spinlock of percpu counter 'vm_committed_as': 94.14% 0.35% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave 48.21% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave;percpu_counter_add_batch;__vm_enough_memory;mmap_region;do_mmap; 45.91% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave;percpu_counter_add_batch;__do_munmap; Actually this heavy lock contention is not always necessary. The 'vm_committed_as' needs to be very precise when the strict OVERCOMMIT_NEVER policy is set, which requires a rather small batch number for the percpu counter. So keep 'batch' number unchanged for strict OVERCOMMIT_NEVER policy, and enlarge it for not-so-strict OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS and OVERCOMMIT_GUESS policies. Benchmark with the same testcase in [1] shows 53% improvement on a 8C/16T desktop, and 2097%(20X) on a 4S/72C/144T server. And for that case, whether it shows improvements depends on if the test mmap size is bigger than the batch number computed. We tested 10+ platforms in 0day (server, desktop and laptop). If we lift it to 64X, 80%+ platforms show improvements, and for 16X lift, 1/3 of the platforms will show improvements. And generally it should help the mmap/unmap usage,as Michal Hocko mentioned: : I believe that there are non-synthetic worklaods which would benefit : from a larger batch. E.g. large in memory databases which do large : mmaps during startups from multiple threads. Note: There are some style complain from checkpatch for patch 4, as sysctl handler declaration follows the similar format of sibling functions [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200305062138.GI5972@shao2-debian/ This patch (of 4): Use the existing vm_memory_committed() instead, which is also convenient for future change.
