Back when per-vma locks were introduces, vm_lock was moved out of vm_area_struct in [1] because of the performance regression caused by false cacheline sharing. Recent investigation [2] revealed that the regressions is limited to a rather old Broadwell microarchitecture and even there it can be mitigated by disabling adjacent cacheline prefetching, see [3]. Splitting single logical structure into multiple ones leads to more complicated management, extra pointer dereferences and overall less maintainable code. When that split-away part is a lock, it complicates things even further. With no performance benefits, there are no reasons for this split. Merging the vm_lock back into vm_area_struct also allows vm_area_struct to use SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU later in this patchset. Move vm_lock back into vm_area_struct, aligning it at the cacheline boundary and changing the cache to be cacheline-aligned as well. With kernel compiled using defconfig, this causes VMA memory consumption to grow from 160 (vm_area_struct) + 40 (vm_lock) bytes to 256 bytes: slabinfo before: <name> ... <objsize> <objperslab> <pagesperslab> : ... vma_lock ... 40 102 1 : ... vm_area_struct ... 160 51 2 : ... slabinfo after moving vm_lock: <name> ... <objsize> <objperslab> <pagesperslab> : ... vm_area_struct ... 256 32 2 : ... Aggregate VMA memory consumption per 1000 VMAs grows from 50 to 64 pages, which is 5.5MB per 100000 VMAs. Note that the size of this structure is dependent on the kernel configuration and typically the original size is higher than 160 bytes. Therefore these calculations are close to the worst case scenario. A more realistic vm_area_struct usage before this change is: <name> ... <objsize> <objperslab> <pagesperslab> : ... vma_lock ... 40 102 1 : ... vm_area_struct ... 176 46 2 : ... Aggregate VMA memory consumption per 1000 VMAs grows from 54 to 64 pages, which is 3.9MB per 100000 VMAs. This memory consumption growth can be addressed later by optimizing the vm_lock.
