Currently all objects placed into a batch wait for a full grace period to elapse after that batch is ready to send to RCU. However, this can unnecessarily delay freeing of the first objects that were added to the batch. After all, several RCU grace periods might have elapsed since those objects were added, and if so, there is no point in further deferring their freeing. This commit therefore adds per-page grace-period snapshots which are obtained from get_state_synchronize_rcu(). When the batch is ready to be passed to call_rcu(), each page's snapshot is checked by passing it to poll_state_synchronize_rcu(). If a given page's RCU grace period has already elapsed, its objects are freed immediately by kvfree_rcu_bulk(). Otherwise, these objects are freed after a call to synchronize_rcu(). This approach requires that the pages be traversed in reverse order, that is, the oldest ones first. Test example: kvm.sh --memory 10G --torture rcuscale --allcpus --duration 1 \ --kconfig CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64 \ --kconfig CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y \ --kconfig CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL=y \ --kconfig CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=n \ --bootargs "rcuscale.kfree_rcu_test=1 rcuscale.kfree_nthreads=16 \ rcuscale.holdoff=20 rcuscale.kfree_loops=10000 \ torture.disable_onoff_at_boot" --trust-make Before this commit: Total time taken by all kfree'ers: 8535693700 ns, loops: 10000, batches: 1188, memory footprint: 2248MB Total time taken by all kfree'ers: 8466933582 ns, loops: 10000, batches: 1157, memory footprint: 2820MB Total time taken by all kfree'ers: 5375602446 ns, loops: 10000, batches: 1130, memory footprint: 6502MB Total time taken by all kfree'ers: 7523283832 ns, loops: 10000, batches: 1006, memory footprint: 3343MB Total time taken by all kfree'ers: 6459171956 ns, loops: 10000, batches: 1150, memory footprint: 6549MB After this commit: Total time taken by all kfree'ers: 8560060176 ns, loops: 10000, batches: 1787, memory footprint: 61MB Total time taken by all kfree'ers: 8573885501 ns, loops: 10000, batches: 1777, memory footprint: 93MB Total time taken by all kfree'ers: 8320000202 ns, loops: 10000, batches: 1727, memory footprint: 66MB Total time taken by all kfree'ers: 8552718794 ns, loops: 10000, batches: 1790, memory footprint: 75MB Total time taken by all kfree'ers: 8601368792 ns, loops: 10000, batches: 1724, memory footprint: 62MB The reduction in memory footprint is well in excess of an order of magnitude.
