Hello, folk!

This is the v2, the series which tends to minimize the vmap
lock contention. It is based on the tag: v6.5-rc6. Here you
can find a documentation about it:

wget ftp://vps418301.ovh.net/incoming/Fix_a_vmalloc_lock_contention_in_SMP_env_v2.pdf

even though it is a bit outdated(it follows v1), it still gives a
good overview on the problem and how it can be solved. On demand
and by request i can update it.

The v1 is here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/ZIAqojPKjChJTssg@pc636/T/

Delta v1 -> v2:
  - open coded locking;
  - switch to array of nodes instead of per-cpu definition;
  - density is 2 cores per one node(not equal to number of CPUs);
  - VAs first go back(free path) to an owner node and later to
    a global heap if a block is fully freed, nid is saved in va->flags;
  - add helpers to drain lazily-freed areas faster, if high pressure;
  - picked al Reviewed-by.

Test on AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X 32-Core Processor:

On smaller systems, for example, 8xCPU Hikey960 board the
contention is not that high and is approximately ~16 percent.

Seems the wget command doesn't work for me. Not sure if other people can
retrieve it successfully.

Right. Same issue as a last time. I renamed the file name but pointed
to the old name. Here we go:

It would be good if this series somehow could be tested having some runtime
from the people. So far there was a warning from the test robot:

This extra patch has to be applied to fix the warning. 

From my side i have tested it as much as i can. Can it be plugged
into linux-next to get some runtime? Or is there any other way you
prefer to go?

Thank you in advance!

I grabbed it.  We're supposed to avoid adding new material to -next until
after -rc1 is released, but I've cheated before ;)

That (inaccessible) pdf file is awkward.  Could you please send out
a suitable [0/N] cover letter for this series, which can be incorporated
into the git record?

There will be a v3 anyway where i update the cover latter. The v2 is not
adapted to recently introduced Joel's patch, which is not in linux-next
but will land soon:

<snip>
From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@joelfernandes.org>
Subject: mm/vmalloc: add a safer version of find_vm_area() for debug
Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2023 18:08:04 +0000

It is unsafe to dump vmalloc area information when trying to do so from
some contexts.  Add a safer trylock version of the same function to do a
best-effort VMA finding and use it from vmalloc_dump_obj().
<snip>

Also it might come some extra reviews and comments for v2.

Thanks!

Will take a look when I get a chance at v3 as I gather you're spinning
another version :)
