Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 19/25] iommu/dma: Stop recycling old PISA pages when allocator waste is high
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 18:25:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109182533.3594984-20-lrizzo@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261003212241.3432303-1-lrizzo@google.com>
When a PISA allocator holds many partially used 2MB pages with low
overall utilization, callers that recycle blocks in place (page_pool,
per-task TX page_frags, and per-CPU block caches) can keep old 2MB pages
pinned indefinitely with only a few blocks in use.
Record @alloc_jiffies in struct pisa_meta when a 2MB page is bound to an
allocator or taken from the allocator's idle list, and add two module
parameters:
- pisa.wasted_pct (1..99%, 0 disables): wasted block percentage
threshold above which compaction kicks in.
- pisa.old_ms (1..100000 ms, 0 disables): age threshold after which a
partially used 2MB page is eligible to stop recycling.
When both parameters are set and an allocator's wasted block fraction
exceeds wasted_pct, pisa_page_can_recycle() returns false for partial
2MB pages older than old_ms (except the head page actively being
filled).
