Make the maxium TLB invalidate vectors depend on NR_CPUS linearly,
with a maximum of 32 vectors.
We currently only have 8 vectors for TLB invalidation and that is clearly
inadequate. If we have a lot of CPUs, the CPUs need share the 8 vectors and
tlbstate_lock is used to protect them. flush_tlb_page() is
heavily used in page reclaim, which will cause a lot of lock
contention for tlbstate_lock.
Andi Kleen suggested increasing the vectors number to 32, which should be
good for current typical systems to reduce the tlbstate_lock contention.
My test system has 4 sockets and 64G memory, and 64 CPUs. My
workload creates 64 processes. Each process mmap reads a big
empty sparse file. The total size of the files are 2*total_mem,
so this will cause a lot of page reclaim.
Below is the result I get from perf call-graph profiling:
without the patch:
------------------
24.25% usemem [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock
|
--- _raw_spin_lock
|
|--42.15%-- native_flush_tlb_others
with the patch:
------------------
14.96% usemem [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock
|
--- _raw_spin_lock
|--13.89%-- native_flush_tlb_others
So this heavily reduces the tlbstate_lock contention.
