From af3b5f8764a270165195d8b9520d913a268c0062 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlastimil Babka Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 15:41:05 -0800 Subject: mm, slab: rename kmalloc-node cache to kmalloc- SLAB as part of its bootstrap pre-creates one kmalloc cache that can fit the kmem_cache_node management structure, and puts it into the generic kmalloc cache array (e.g. for 128b objects). The name of this cache is "kmalloc-node", which is confusing for readers of /proc/slabinfo as the cache is used for generic allocations (and not just the kmem_cache_node struct) and it appears as the kmalloc-128 cache is missing. An easy solution is to use the kmalloc- name when pre-creating the cache, which we can get from the kmalloc_info array. Example /proc/slabinfo before the patch: ... kmalloc-256 1647 1984 256 16 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 124 124 828 kmalloc-192 1974 1974 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 94 94 133 kmalloc-96 1332 1344 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 42 42 219 kmalloc-64 2505 5952 64 64 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 93 93 715 kmalloc-32 4278 4464 32 124 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 36 36 346 kmalloc-node 1352 1376 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 43 43 53 kmem_cache 132 147 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 7 7 0 After the patch: ... kmalloc-256 1672 2160 256 16 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 135 135 807 kmalloc-192 1992 2016 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 96 96 203 kmalloc-96 1159 1184 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 37 37 116 kmalloc-64 2561 4864 64 64 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 76 76 785 kmalloc-32 4253 4340 32 124 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 35 35 270 kmalloc-128 1256 1280 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 40 40 39 kmem_cache 125 147 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 7 7 0 [vbabka@suse.cz: export the whole kmalloc_info structure instead of just a name accessor, per Christoph Lameter] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/54e80303-b814-4232-66d4-95b34d3eb9d0@suse.cz Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170203181008.24898-1-vbabka@suse.cz Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka Reviewed-by: Matthew Wilcox Cc: Joonsoo Kim Cc: David Rientjes Cc: Pekka Enberg Cc: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- mm/slab.h | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'mm/slab.h') diff --git a/mm/slab.h b/mm/slab.h index de6579dc362c..2fa824335a50 100644 --- a/mm/slab.h +++ b/mm/slab.h @@ -71,6 +71,12 @@ extern struct list_head slab_caches; /* The slab cache that manages slab cache information */ extern struct kmem_cache *kmem_cache; +/* A table of kmalloc cache names and sizes */ +extern const struct kmalloc_info_struct { + const char *name; + unsigned long size; +} kmalloc_info[]; + unsigned long calculate_alignment(unsigned long flags, unsigned long align, unsigned long size); -- cgit v1.2.3
