[PATCH 1/1] mm: vmalloc: Remove a global vmap_blocks xarray
From: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)
Date: Thu Mar 23 2023 - 15:21:56 EST
A global vmap_blocks-xarray array can be contented under
heavy usage of the vm_map_ram()/vm_unmap_ram() APIs. The
lock_stat shows that a "vmap_blocks.xa_lock" lock is a
second in a top-list when it comes to contentions:
<snip>

...
<snip>
that is a result of running vm_map_ram()/vm_unmap_ram() in
a loop. The test creates 64(on 64 CPUs system) threads and
each one maps/unmaps 1 page.
After this change the "xa_lock" can be considered as a noise
in the same test condition:
<snip>
...
&xa->xa_lock#1: 10333 10394 ...
--------------
&xa->xa_lock#1 5349 [<00000000bbbc9751>] xa_erase+0xe/0x30
&xa->xa_lock#1 5045 [<0000000018def45d>] vm_map_ram+0x3a4/0x4f0
--------------
&xa->xa_lock#1 7326 [<0000000018def45d>] vm_map_ram+0x3a4/0x4f0
&xa->xa_lock#1 3068 [<00000000bbbc9751>] xa_erase+0xe/0x30
...
<snip>
This patch does not fix vmap_area_lock/free_vmap_area_lock and
purge_vmap_area_lock bottle-necks, it is rather a separate rework.
