A slab can be added to this list by 1) refill of an empty list from get_partial_node() - once we really have to access the shared partial list, we acquire multiple slabs to amortize the cost of locking, and 2) first free to a previously full slab - instead of putting the slab on a shared partial list, we can more cheaply freeze it and put it on the per-cpu list. To control how large a percpu partial list can grow for a kmem cache, set_cpu_partial() calculates a target number of free objects on each cpu's percpu partial list, and this can be also set by the sysfs file cpu_partial. However, the tracking of actual number of objects is imprecise, in order to limit overhead from cpu X freeing an objects to a slab on percpu partial list of cpu Y. Basically, the percpu partial slabs form a single linked list, and when we add a new slab to the list with current head "oldpage", we set in the struct page of the slab we're adding: page->pages = oldpage->pages + 1; // this is precise page->pobjects = oldpage->pobjects + (page->objects - page->inuse); page->next = oldpage; Thus the real number of free objects in the slab (objects - inuse) is only determined at the moment of adding the slab to the percpu partial list, and further freeing doesn't update the pobjects counter nor propagate it to the current list head. As Jann reports [1], this can easily lead to large inaccuracies, where the target number of objects (up to 30 by default) can translate to the same number of (empty) slab pages on the list. In case 2) above, we put a slab with 1 free object on the list, thus only increase page->pobjects by 1, even if there are subsequent frees on the same slab. Jann has noticed this in practice and so did we [2] when investigating significant increase of kmemcg usage after switching from SLAB to SLUB. While this is no longer a problem in kmemcg context thanks to the accounting rewrite in 5.9, the memory waste is still not ideal and it's questionable whether it makes sense to perform free object count based control when object counts can easily become so much inaccurate. So this patch converts the accounting to be based on number of pages only (which is precise) and removes the page->pobjects field completely. This is also ultimately simpler. To retain the existing set_cpu_partial() heuristic, first calculate the target number of objects as previously, but then convert it to target number of pages by assuming the pages will be half-filled on average. This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target number of objects. We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch doesn't do that. In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly long percpu partial lists.

So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial lists than after this patch. However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30 pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are still there to allow that.

Before the previous patch changed the accounting, this could have made cpu partial list contain up to 30 pages. After that patch, only up to 2 pages with default allocation order. Very short lists limit the usefulness of the whole concept of cpu partial lists, so this patch aims at a more reasonable default under the new accounting. The defaults are quadrupled, except for object size >= PAGE_SIZE where it's doubled. This makes the lists grow up to 10 pages in practice. A quick test of booting a kernel under virtme with 4GB RAM and 8 vcpus shows the following slab memory usage after boot: Before previous patch (using page->pobjects): Slab: 36732 kB SReclaimable: 14836 kB SUnreclaim: 21896 kB After previous patch (using page->pages): Slab: 34720 kB SReclaimable: 13716 kB SUnreclaim: 21004 kB After this patch (using page->pages, higher defaults): Slab: 35252 kB SReclaimable: 13944 kB SUnreclaim: 21308 kB In the same setup, I also ran 5 times: hackbench -l 16000 -g 16 Differences in time were in the noise, we can compare slub stats as given by slabinfo -r skbuff_head_cache (the other cache heavily used by hackbench, kmalloc-cg-512 looks similar).
