Before the change new areas were always\n searched from the base address on.\n\n So now new small areas are cluttering holes of all sizes\n throughout the whole mmap-able region whereas before small holes\n tended to close holes near the base leaving holes far from the base\n large and available for larger requests.\n\n 2) the free_area_cache also is set to the location of the last\n munmap-ed area so in scenarios where we allocate e.g. five regions of\n 1K each, then free regions 4 2 3 in this order the next request for 1K\n will be placed in the position of the old region 3, whereas before we\n appended it to the still active region 1, placing it at the location\n of the old region 2. Before we had 1 free region of 2K, now we only\n get two free regions of 1K -\u003e fragmentation.\n\nThe patch addresses thes issues by introducing yet another cache descriptor\ncached_hole_size that contains the largest known hole size below the\ncurrent free_area_cache. If a new request comes in the size is compared\nagainst the cached_hole_size and if the request can be filled with a hole\nbelow free_area_cache the search is started from the base instead.\n\nThe results look promising: Whereas 2.6.12-rc4 fragments quickly and my\n(earlier posted) leakme.c test program terminates after 50000+ iterations\nwith 96 distinct and fragmented maps in /proc/self/maps it performs nicely\n(as expected) with thread creation, Ingo\u0027s test_str02 with 20000 threads\nrequires 0.7s system time.\n\nTaking out Ingo\u0027s patch (un-patch available per request) by basically\ndeleting all mentions of free_area_cache from the kernel and starting the\nsearch for new memory always at the respective bases we observe: leakme\nterminates successfully with 11 distinctive hardly fragmented areas in\n/proc/self/maps but thread creating is gringdingly slow: 30+s(!) system\ntime for Ingo\u0027s test_str02 with 20000 threads.\n\nNow - drumroll ;-) the appended patch works fine with leakme: it ends with\nonly 7 distinct areas in /proc/self/maps and also thread creation seems\nsufficiently fast with 0.71s for 20000 threads.\n\nSigned-off-by: Wolfgang Wander \u003cwwc@rentec.com\u003e\nCredit-to: \"Richard Purdie\" \u003crpurdie@rpsys.net\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ken Chen \u003ckenneth.w.chen@intel.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e (partly)\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "7ed20e1ad521b5f5df61bf6559ae60738e393741", "tree": "90931724e45eaedb3445314e8b94e78253642395", "parents": [ "e5bdd883a189243541e7a132385580703b049102" ], "author": { "name": "Jesper Juhl", "email": "juhl-lkml@dif.dk", "time": "Sun May 01 08:59:14 2005 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org", "time": "Sun May 01 08:59:14 2005 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] convert that currently tests _NSIG directly to use valid_signal()\n\nConvert most of the current code that uses _NSIG directly to instead use\nvalid_signal().
