From 4e4a9eb921332b9d1edd99f76998f99f36b195f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wei Yang Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2019 17:50:59 -0800 Subject: mm/rmap.c: reuse mergeable anon_vma as parent when fork MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In __anon_vma_prepare(), we will try to find anon_vma if it is possible to reuse it. While on fork, the logic is different. Since commit 5beb49305251 ("mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue"), function anon_vma_clone() tries to allocate new anon_vma for child process. But the logic here will allocate a new anon_vma for each vma, even in parent this vma is mergeable and share the same anon_vma with its sibling. This may do better for scalability issue, while it is not necessary to do so especially after interval tree is used. Commit 7a3ef208e662 ("mm: prevent endless growth of anon_vma hierarchy") tries to reuse some anon_vma by counting child anon_vma and attached vmas. While for those mergeable anon_vmas, we can just reuse it and not necessary to go through the logic. After this change, kernel build test reduces 20% anon_vma allocation. Do the same kernel build test, it shows run time in sys reduced 11.6%.
