Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Recalculate per-cpu page allocator batch and high limits after deferred meminit
Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2019 11:56:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191018105606.3249-1-mgorman@techsingularity.net> (raw)
A private report stated that system CPU usage was excessive on an AMD
EPYC 2 machine while building kernels with much longer build times than
expected. The issue is partially explained by high zone lock contention
due to the per-cpu page allocator batch and high limits being calculated
incorrectly. This series addresses a large chunk of the problem. Patch 1
is mostly cosmetic but prepares for patch 2 which is the real fix. Patch
3 is definiely cosmetic but was noticed while implementing the fix. Proper
details are in the changelog for patch 2.
