The 'vm_committed_as' needs to be very precise when the strict OVERCOMMIT_NEVER policy is set, which requires a rather small batch number for the percpu counter. So keep 'batch' number unchanged for strict OVERCOMMIT_NEVER policy, and enlarge it for not-so-strict OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS and OVERCOMMIT_GUESS policies. Benchmark with the same testcase in [1] shows 53% improvement on a 8C/16T desktop, and 2097%(20X) on a 4S/72C/144T server. And for that case, whether it shows improvements depends on if the test mmap size is bigger than the batch number computed. We tested 10+ platforms in 0day (server, desktop and laptop). If we lift it to 64X, 80%+ platforms show improvements, and for 16X lift, 1/3 of the platforms will show improvements. And generally it should help the mmap/unmap usage,as Michal Hocko mentioned: " I believe that there are non-synthetic worklaods which would benefit from a larger batch. E.g. large in memory databases which do large mmaps during startups from multiple threads. " Note: There are some style complain from checkpatch for patch 3, as sysctl handler declaration follows the similar format of sibling functions patch1: a cleanup for /proc/meminfo patch2: a preparation patch which also improve the accuracy of vm_memory_committed patch3: remove the VM_WARN_ONCE for vm_committed_as underflow check patch4: main change This is against today's linux-mm git tree on github. Please help to review, thanks! - Feng ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changelog: v4: * Remove the VM_WARN_ONCE check for vm_committed_as underflow, thanks to Qian Cai for finding and testing the warning v3: * refine commit log and cleanup code, according to comments from Michal Hocko and Matthew Wilcox * change the lift from 16X and 64X after test v2: * add the sysctl handler to cover runtime overcommit policy change, as suggested by Andres Morton * address the accuracy concern of vm_memory_committed() from Andi Kleen Feng Tang (4): proc/meminfo: avoid open coded reading of vm_committed_as mm/util.c: make vm_memory_committed() more accurate mm/util.c: remove the VM_WARN_ONCE for vm_committed_as underflow check mm: adjust vm_committed_as_batch according to vm overcommit policy fs/proc/meminfo.c | 2 +- include/linux/mm.h | 2 ++ include/linux/mman.h | 4 ++++ kernel/sysctl.c | 2 +- mm/mm_init.c | 18 ++++++++++++++---- mm/util.c | 22 +++++++++++++--------- 6 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-)
