The magazine buffers can take gigabytes of kmem memory, dominating all
other allocations. For observability prurpose create named slab cache so
the iova magazine memory overhead can be clearly observed.

With this change:

> slabtop -o | head
 Active / Total Objects (% used)    : 869731 / 952904 (91.3%)
 Active / Total Slabs (% used)      : 103411 / 103974 (99.5%)
 Active / Total Caches (% used)     : 135 / 211 (64.0%)
 Active / Total Size (% used)       : 395389.68K / 411430.20K (96.1%)
 Minimum / Average / Maximum Object : 0.02K / 0.43K / 8.00K

OBJS ACTIVE  USE OBJ SIZE  SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME
244412 244239 99%    1.00K  61103       4    244412K iommu_iova_magazine
 91636  88343 96%    0.03K    739     124      2956K kmalloc-32
 75744  74844 98%    0.12K   2367      32      9468K kernfs_node_cache

On this machine it is now clear that magazine use 242M of kmem memory.

Hmm, something smells there...

In the "worst" case there should be a maximum of 6 * 2 * 
num_online_cpus() empty magazines in the iova_cpu_rcache structures, 
i.e., 12KB per CPU. Under normal use those will contain at least some 
PFNs, but mainly every additional magazine stored in a depot is full 
with 127 PFNs, and each one of those PFNs is backed by a 40-byte struct 
iova, i.e. ~5KB per 1KB magazine. Unless that machine has many thousands 
of CPUs, if iova_magazine allocations are the top consumer of memory 
then something's gone wrong.

Thanks,
Robin.

This is an upstream kernel  + few drivers that is booted on AMD EPYC,
with 128 CPUs.

It has allocations stacks like these:
init_iova_domain+0x1ed/0x230 iommu_setup_dma_ops+0xf8/0x4b0
amd_iommu_probe_finalize.
And also init_iova_domain() calls for Google's TPU drivers 242M is
actually not that much, compared to the size of the system.

Hmm, I did misspeak slightly (it's late and I really should have left 
this for tomorrow...) - that's 12KB per CPU *per domain*, but still that 
would seem to imply well over 100 domains if you have 242MB of magazine 
allocations while the iommu_iova cache isn't even on the charts... what 
the heck is that driver doing?

(I don't necessarily disagree with the spirit of the patch BTW, I just 
really want to understand the situation that prompted it, and make sure 
we don't actually have a subtle leak somewhere.)

I am not sure what the driver is doing. However, I can check the
actual allocation sizes for each init_iova_domain() and report on that
later.

Yes, the observability is needed here, because there were several
optimizations that reduced the size of these magazines, and they still
can be large. For example, for a while we had 1032-bytes per-magazine
instead of 1024, this caused wasting almost half of magazine memroy
with 2K slabs. This was fixed with: b4c9bf178ace iommu/iova: change
IOVA_MAG_SIZE to 127 to save memory

 Also, earlier there was another optimization "32e92d9f6f87
iommu/iova: Separate out rcache init" that reduced cases when
magazines need to be allocated. That  also reduced overhead on our
systems by a factor of 10.

Yet, the magazines are still large, and I think it is time to improve
observability for the future optimizations, and avoiding future
regressions.

Could this slab cache be merged with a compatible one in the slab
code? If this happens, do we still get a separate entry in
/proc/slabinfo?

It may be useful to use SLAB_NO_MERGE if the purpose is to
specifically have observability into this slab cache, but the comments
above the flag make me think I may be misunderstanding it.

Hi Yosry,

Good suggestion to check for merges. I have checked,
iommu_iova_magazine is not merged.

SLAB_NO_MERGE may reduce performance, and fragmentation efficiency, it
is better to keep it as-is.

Hi Robin,

The following tracing is without Google TPU, simply upstream kernel:

The iova_domain_init_rcaches is called 159 with the following stack:

 iova_domain_init_rcaches
 iommu_setup_dma_ops
 amd_iommu_probe_finalize
 bus_iommu_probe
 iommu_device_register
 iommu_init_pci
 amd_iommu_init_pci
 state_next
 iommu_go_to_state
 amd_iommu_init
 pci_iommu_init
 do_one_initcall

Each time 1536K is allocated: in total 159 * 1536K = 238.5M

The allocation happens like this:
for (IOVA_RANGE_CACHE_MAX_SIZE)
    for_each_possible_cpu()
        iova_magazine_alloc
        iova_magazine_alloc

IOVA_RANGE_CACHE_MAX_SIZE = 6
ncpu = 128
sizeof (struct iova_magazine) = 1K

6 * 128 * (1K + 1K) = 1536K

Yikes, so it really does just have that many IOMMU groups? OK, fair 
enough, call me convinced :)

On balance though, I think I'd prefer to just stick the lifecycle 
management into iova_cache_{get,put} for simplicity - spending ~256 
bytes on another kmem_cache we might not use can hardly be significantly 
more than the extra code and static data necessary to track its usage 
separately anyway.

Thanks,
Robin.

Sure, I will send a v2 soon.
