Patch series "page allocation tag compression", v4.
This patchset implements several improvements:
1. Gracefully handles module unloading while there are used
allocations allocated from that module;
2. Provides an option to store page allocation tag references in the
page flags, removing dependency on page extensions and eliminating the
memory overhead from storing page allocation references (~0.2% of total
system memory). This also improves page allocation performance when
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING is enabled by eliminating page extension
lookup. Page allocation performance overhead is reduced from 41% to
5.5%.
Patch #1 introduces mas_for_each_rev() helper function.
Patch #2 introduces shutdown_mem_profiling() helper function to be used
when disabling memory allocation profiling.
Patch #3 copies module tags into virtually contiguous memory which
serves two purposes:
- Lets us deal with the situation when module is unloaded while there
are still live allocations from that module. Since we are using a copy
version of the tags we can safely unload the module. Space and gaps in
this contiguous memory are managed using a maple tree.
- Enables simple indexing of the tags in the later patches.
Patch #4 changes the way we allocate virtually contiguous memory for
module tags to reserve only vitrual area and populate physical pages only
as needed at module load time.
Patch #5 abstracts page allocation tag reference to simplify later
changes.
Patch gregkh#6 adds compression option to the sysctl.vm.mem_profiling boot
parameter for storing page allocation tag references inside page flags if
they fit. If the number of available page flag bits is insufficient to
address all kernel allocations, memory allocation profiling gets disabled
with an appropriate warning.
This patch (of 6):
Add mas_for_each_rev() function to iterate maple tree nodes in reverse
order.
