From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2009 03:01:36 +0000 (+1030) Subject: modules: Use a better scheme for refcounting X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=720eba31f47aeade8ec130ca7f4353223c49170f;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git modules: Use a better scheme for refcounting Current refcounting for modules (done if CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y) is using a lot of memory. Each 'struct module' contains an [NR_CPUS] array of full cache lines. This patch uses existing infrastructure (percpu_modalloc() & percpu_modfree()) to allocate percpu space for the refcount storage. Instead of wasting NR_CPUS*128 bytes (on i386), we now use nr_cpu_ids*sizeof(local_t) bytes. On a typical distro, where NR_CPUS=8, shiping 2000 modules, we reduce size of module files by about 2 Mbytes. (1Kb per module) Instead of having all refcounters in the same memory node - with TLB misses because of vmalloc() - this new implementation permits to have better NUMA properties, since each CPU will use storage on its preferred node, thanks to percpu storage.
