Patch series "Drain remote per-cpu directly", v5.
Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, may be running realtime or
latency-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate interference due to
per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). Introduce a new
mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by
remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. This has
two advantages, the time to drain is more predictable and other unrelated
tasks are not interrupted.
This series has the same intent as Nicolas' series "mm/page_alloc: Remote
per-cpu lists drain support" -- avoid interference of a high priority task
due to a workqueue item draining per-cpu page lists. While many workloads
can tolerate a brief interruption, it may cause a real-time task running
on a NOHZ_FULL CPU to miss a deadline and at minimum, the draining is
non-deterministic.
Currently an IRQ-safe local_lock protects the page allocator per-cpu
lists. The local_lock on its own prevents migration and the IRQ disabling
protects from corruption due to an interrupt arriving while a page
allocation is in progress.
This series adjusts the locking. A spinlock is added to struct
per_cpu_pages to protect the list contents while local_lock_irq is
ultimately replaced by just the spinlock in the final patch. This allows
a remote CPU to safely. Follow-on work should allow the spin_lock_irqsave
to be converted to spin_lock to avoid IRQs being disabled/enabled in most
cases. The follow-on patch will be one kernel release later as it is
relatively high risk and it'll make bisections more clear if there are any
problems.
Patch 1 is a cosmetic patch to clarify when page->lru is storing buddy pages
and when it is storing per-cpu pages.
Patch 2 shrinks per_cpu_pages to make room for a spin lock. Strictly speaking
this is not necessary but it avoids per_cpu_pages consuming another
cache line.
Patch 3 is a preparation patch to avoid code duplication.
Patch 4 is a minor correction.
Patch 5 uses a spin_lock to protect the per_cpu_pages contents while still
relying on local_lock to prevent migration, stabilise the pcp
lookup and prevent IRQ reentrancy.
Patch 6 remote drains per-cpu pages directly instead of using a workqueue.
Patch 7 uses a normal spinlock instead of local_lock for remote draining
This patch (of 7):
The page allocator uses page->lru for storing pages on either buddy or PCP
lists. Create page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list as a union with
page->lru. This is simply to clarify what type of list a page is on in
the page allocator.
No functional change intended.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels
-
BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
- Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux,
additions of
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export. - When sending patches upstream, the commit message must contain a clear case for why the patch is needed and beneficial to the community. Enabling out-of-tree drivers or functionality is not not a persuasive case.
- Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux,
additions of
-
LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
Common Kernel patch requirements
- All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass
scripts/checkpatch.pl - Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
- If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch:
UPSTREAM:,BACKPORT:,FROMGIT:,FROMLIST:, orANDROID:. - All patches must have a
Change-Id:tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html) - If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a
Bug:tag. - All patches must have a
Signed-off-by:tag by the author and the submitter
Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type
Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:
- If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
- tag the patch subject with
UPSTREAM:. - add upstream commit information with a
(cherry picked from commit ...)line - Example:
- if the upstream commit message is
- tag the patch subject with
