Currently the PCP lists are protected by using local_lock_irqsave to
prevent migration and IRQ reentrancy but this is inconvenient. Remote
draining of the lists is impossible and a workqueue is required and every
task allocation/free must disable then enable interrupts which is
expensive.
As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the
lists with a spinlock. The IRQ-unsafe version of the lock is used
because IRQs are already disabled by local_lock_irqsave. spin_trylock
is used in combination with local_lock_irqsave() but later will be
replaced with a spin_trylock_irqsave when the local_lock is removed.
The per_cpu_pages still fits within the same number of cache lines after
this patch relative to before the series.
struct per_cpu_pages {
spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */
int count; /* 4 4 */
int high; /* 8 4 */
int batch; /* 12 4 */
short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */
short int expire; /* 18 2 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */
/* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */
/* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
/* padding: 24 */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(64)));
There is overhead in the fast path due to acquiring the spinlock even
though the spinlock is per-cpu and uncontended in the common case. Page
Fault Test (PFT) running on a 1-socket reported the following results on a
1 socket machine.

Hmean faults/sec-1 869275.7381 ( 0.00%) 874597.5167 * 0.61%*

Hmean faults/sec-8 3965729.6187 ( 0.00%) 3939727.0243 * -0.66%*
There is a small hit in the number of faults per second but given that the
results are more stable, it's borderline noise.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
