[PATCH v6 10/31] list_lru: per-node list infrastructure

Glauber Costa
2013-05-12T18:13:31Z

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Now that we have an LRU list API, we can start to enhance the
implementation. This splits the single LRU list into per-node lists
and locks to enhance scalability. Items are placed on lists
according to the node the memory belongs to. To make scanning the
lists efficient, also track whether the per-node lists have entries
in them in a active nodemask.

Note:
We use a fixed-size array for the node LRU, this struct can be very big
if MAX_NUMNODES is big. If this becomes a problem this is fixable by
turning this into a pointer and dynamically allocating this to
nr_node_ids. This quantity is firwmare-provided, and still would provide
room for all nodes at the cost of a pointer lookup and an extra
allocation. Because that allocation will most likely come from a
different slab cache than the main structure holding this structure, we
may very well fail.
