mm, kmemleak: little optimization while scanning
kmemleak_scan() goes through all online nodes and tries to scan all used
pages.
We can do better and use pfn_to_online_page(), so in case we have
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG, offlined pages will be skiped automatically. For
boxes where CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is not present, pfn_to_online_page()
will fallback to pfn_valid().
Another little optimization is to check if the page belongs to the node we
are currently checking, so in case we have nodes interleaved we will not
check the same pfn multiple times.
I ran some tests:
Add some memory to node1 and node2 making it interleaved:
(qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram0,size=1G
(qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm0,memdev=ram0,node=1
(qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram1,size=1G
(qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=ram1,node=2
(qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram2,size=1G
(qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm2,memdev=ram2,node=1
Then, we offline that memory:
# for i in {32..39} ; do echo "offline" > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory$i/state;done
# for i in {48..55} ; do echo "offline" > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory$i/state;don
# for i in {40..47} ; do echo "offline" > /sys/devices/system/node/node2/memory$i/state;done
And we run kmemleak_scan:
# echo "scan" > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
before the patch:
kmemleak: time spend: 41596 us
after the patch:
kmemleak: time spend: 34899 us
