mm: vmalloc: avoid calling __find_vmap_area() twice in __vunmap()
Currently the __vunmap() path calls __find_vmap_area() twice. Once on
entry to check that the area exists, then inside the remove_vm_area()
function which also performs a new search for the VA.
In order to improvie it from a performance point of view we split
remove_vm_area() into two new parts:
- find_unlink_vmap_area() that does a search and unlink from tree;
- __remove_vm_area() that removes without searching.
In this case there is no any functional change for remove_vm_area()
whereas vm_remove_mappings(), where a second search happens, switches to
the __remove_vm_area() variant where the already detached VA is passed as
a parameter, so there is no need to find it again.
Performance wise, i use test_vmalloc.sh with 32 threads doing alloc
free on a 64-CPUs-x86_64-box:
perf without this patch:
- 31.41% 0.50% vmalloc_test/10 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __vunmap
- 30.92% __vunmap
- 17.67% _raw_spin_lock
native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
- 12.33% remove_vm_area
- 11.79% free_vmap_area_noflush
- 11.18% _raw_spin_lock
native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
0.76% free_unref_page
perf with this patch:
- 11.35% 0.13% vmalloc_test/14 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __vunmap
- 11.23% __vunmap
- 8.28% find_unlink_vmap_area
- 7.95% _raw_spin_lock
7.44% native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
- 1.93% free_vmap_area_noflush
- 0.56% _raw_spin_lock
0.53% native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
0.60% __vunmap_range_noflush
__vunmap() consumes around ~20% less CPU cycles on this test.
Also, switch from find_vmap_area() to find_unlink_vmap_area() to prevent a
double access to the vmap_area_lock: one for finding area, second time is
for unlinking from a tree.
