So, it used to increase free_factor by 1 only when we try to reduce the size of pcp list or flush for high order. and free_high used to trigger only for order > 0 and order < costly_order and free_factor > 0. and free_factor used to scale down by a factor of 2 on every successful allocation. for iperf3 I noticed that with older design in kernel v6.6, pcp list was drained mostly when pcp->count > high (more often when count goes above 530). and most of the time free_factor was 0, triggering very few high order flushes. Whereas in the current design, free_factor is changed to free_count to keep track of the number of pages freed contiguously, and with this design for iperf3, pcp list is getting flushed more frequently because free_high heuristics is triggered more often now. In current design, free_count is incremented on every deallocation, irrespective of whether pcp list was reduced or not. And logic to trigger free_high is if free_count goes above batch (which is 63) and there are two contiguous page free without any allocation. (and with cache slice optimisation). With this design, I observed that high order pcp list is drained as soon as both count and free_count goes about 63. and due to this more aggressive high order flushing, applications doing contiguous high order allocation will require to go to global list more frequently. On a 2-node AMD machine with 384 vCPUs on each node, connected via Mellonox connectX-7, I am seeing a ~30% performance reduction if we scale number of iperf3 client/server pairs from 32 to 64. So, though this new design reduced the time to detect high order flushes, but for application which are allocating high order pages more frequently it may be flushing the high order list pre-maturely. This motivates towards tuning on how late or early we should flush high order lists. for free_high heuristics. I tried to scale batch and tune it, which will delay the free_high flushes. score # free_high ----------- ----- ----------- v6.6 (base) 100 4 v6.12 (batch*1) 69 170 batch*2 69 150 batch*4 74 101 batch*5 100 53 batch*6 100 36 batch*8 100 3 scaling batch for free_high heuristics with a factor of 5 or above restores the performance, as it is reducing the number of high order flushes.
