mm: make mem_map allocation continuous
vmemmap allocation currently has this layout:
[
ffffe20000000000-
ffffe200001fffff] PMD ->
ffff810001400000 on node 0
[
ffffe20000200000-
ffffe200003fffff] PMD ->
ffff810001800000 on node 0
[
ffffe20000400000-
ffffe200005fffff] PMD ->
ffff810001c00000 on node 0
[
ffffe20000600000-
ffffe200007fffff] PMD ->
ffff810002000000 on node 0
[
ffffe20000800000-
ffffe200009fffff] PMD ->
ffff810002400000 on node 0
...
note that there is a 2M hole between them - not optimal.
the root cause is that usemap (24 bytes) will be allocated after every 2M
mem_map, and it will push next vmemmap (2M) to the next (2M) alignment.
solution: try to allocate the mem_map continously.
after the patch, we get:
[
ffffe20000000000-
ffffe200001fffff] PMD ->
ffff810001400000 on node 0
[
ffffe20000200000-
ffffe200003fffff] PMD ->
ffff810001600000 on node 0
[
ffffe20000400000-
ffffe200005fffff] PMD ->
ffff810001800000 on node 0
[
ffffe20000600000-
ffffe200007fffff] PMD ->
ffff810001a00000 on node 0
[
ffffe20000800000-
ffffe200009fffff] PMD ->
ffff810001c00000 on node 0
...
which is the ideal layout.
and usemap will share a page because of they are allocated continuously too:
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap =
ffff810024e00000 size = 24
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap =
ffff810024e00080 size = 24
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap =
ffff810024e00100 size = 24
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap =
ffff810024e00180 size = 24
...
so we make the bootmem allocation more compact and use less memory
for usemap => mission accomplished ;-)
