From df2ff39e78da74dc23e7187dd58a784d91a876e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roman Gushchin Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2021 17:16:33 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: cma: allocate cma areas bottom-up Currently cma areas without a fixed base are allocated close to the end of the node. This placement is sub-optimal because of compaction: it brings pages into the cma area. In particular, it can bring in hot executable pages, even if there is a plenty of free memory on the machine. This results in cma allocation failures. Instead let's place cma areas close to the beginning of a node. In this case the compaction will help to free cma areas, resulting in better cma allocation success rates. If there is enough memory let's try to allocate bottom-up starting with 4GB to exclude any possible interference with DMA32. On smaller machines or in a case of a failure, stick with the old behavior. 16GB vm, 2GB cma area: With this patch: [ 0.000000] Command line: root=/dev/vda3 rootflags=subvol=/root systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1 enforcing=0 console=ttyS0,115200 hugetlb_cma=2G [ 0.002928] hugetlb_cma: reserve 2048 MiB, up to 2048 MiB per node [ 0.002930] cma: Reserved 2048 MiB at 0x0000000100000000 [ 0.002931] hugetlb_cma: reserved 2048 MiB on node 0 Without this patch: [ 0.000000] Command line: root=/dev/vda3 rootflags=subvol=/root systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1 enforcing=0 console=ttyS0,115200 hugetlb_cma=2G [ 0.002930] hugetlb_cma: reserve 2048 MiB, up to 2048 MiB per node [ 0.002933] cma: Reserved 2048 MiB at 0x00000003c0000000 [ 0.002934] hugetlb_cma: reserved 2048 MiB on node 0 v2: - switched to memblock_set_bottom_up(true), by Mike - start with 4GB, by Mike [guro@fb.com: whitespace fix, per Mike] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201221170551.GB3428478@carbon.DHCP.thefacebook.com [guro@fb.com: fix 32-bit warnings] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201223163537.GA4011967@carbon.DHCP.thefacebook.com [guro@fb.com: fix 32-bit systems] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201217201214.3414100-1-guro@fb.com Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin Reviewed-by: Mike Rapoport Cc: Wonhyuk Yang Cc: Joonsoo Kim Cc: Rik van Riel Cc: Michal Hocko Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- mm/cma.c | 17 +++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+) diff --git a/mm/cma.c b/mm/cma.c index 20c4f6f..0ba69cd 100644 --- a/mm/cma.c +++ b/mm/cma.c @@ -336,6 +336,23 @@ int __init cma_declare_contiguous_nid(phys_addr_t base, limit = highmem_start; } + /* + * If there is enough memory, try a bottom-up allocation first. + * It will place the new cma area close to the start of the node + * and guarantee that the compaction is moving pages out of the + * cma area and not into it. + * Avoid using first 4GB to not interfere with constrained zones + * like DMA/DMA32. + */ +#ifdef CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT + if (!memblock_bottom_up() && memblock_end >= SZ_4G + size) { + memblock_set_bottom_up(true); + addr = memblock_alloc_range_nid(size, alignment, SZ_4G, + limit, nid, true); + memblock_set_bottom_up(false); + } +#endif + if (!addr) { addr = memblock_alloc_range_nid(size, alignment, base, limit, nid, true); -- 2.7.4
