improved chance of working despite pressure from running programs. Instead of trying to throw a bunch of pages out to swap and hope for the best, only a range that can potentially fulfill contigmalloc(9)'s request will have its contents paged out (potentially, not forcibly) at a time. The new contigmalloc operation still operates in three passes, but it could potentially be tuned to more or less. The first pass only looks at pages in the cache and free pages, so they would be thrown out without having to block. If this is not enough, the subsequent passes page out any unwired memory. To combat memory pressure refragmenting the section of memory being laundered, each page is removed from the systems' free memory queue once it has been freed so that blocking later doesn't cause the memory laundered so far to get reallocated. The page-out operations are now blocking, as it would make little sense to try to push out a page, then get its status immediately afterward to remove it from the available free pages queue, if it's unlikely to have been freed. Another change is that if KVA allocation fails, the allocated memory segment will be freed and not leaked. There is a sysctl/tunable, defaulting to on, which causes the old contigmalloc() algorithm to be used. Nonetheless, I have been using vm.old_contigmalloc=0 for over a month. It is safe to switch at run-time to see the difference it makes. A new interface has been used which does not require mapping the allocated pages into KVA: vm_page.h functions vm_page_alloc_contig() and vm_page_release_contig(). These are what vm.old_contigmalloc=0 uses internally, so the sysctl/tunable does not affect their operation. When using the contigmalloc(9) and contigfree(9) interfaces, memory is now tracked with malloc(9) stats. Several functions have been exported from kern_malloc.c to allow other subsystems to use these statistics, as well. This invalidates the BUGS section of the contigmalloc(9) manpage. |
