[Linaro-mm-sig] Re: [PATCH v3] udmabuf: use kmem_cache to alloc udmabuf folio

Le 31/07/2024 à 09:37, Huan Yang a écrit :

The current udmabuf_folio contains a list_head and the corresponding folio pointer, with a size of 24 bytes. udmabuf_folio uses kmalloc to allocate memory.

However, kmalloc is a public pool, starting from 8,16,32 bytes. Additionally, if the size is not aligned with the kmalloc size, it will be rounded up to the corresponding size. This means that each udmabuf_folio allocation will get 32 bytes, and waste 8 bytes.

Considering that each udmabuf creates a folio corresponding to a udmabuf_folio, the wasted memory can be significant in the case of memory fragmentation.

Furthermore, if udmabuf is frequently used, the allocation and deallocation of udmabuf_folio will also be frequent.

Therefore, this patch adds a kmem_cache dedicated to the allocation and deallocation of udmabuf_folio.This is expected to improve the performance of allocation and deallocation within the expected range, while also avoiding memory waste.

Hi,

should a kmem_cache_destroy() be also added in udmabuf_dev_exit()?
