mm/vmalloc: switch to bulk allocator in __vmalloc_area_node()
Recently there has been introduced a page bulk allocator for users which need to get number of pages per one call request. For order-0 pages switch to an alloc_pages_bulk_array_node() instead of alloc_pages_node(), the reason is the former is not capable of allocating set of pages, thus a one call is per one page. Second, according to my tests the bulk allocator uses less cycles even for scenarios when only one page is requested. Running the "perf" on same test case shows below difference: <default> - 45.18% __vmalloc_node - __vmalloc_node_range - 35.60% __alloc_pages - get_page_from_freelist 3.36% __list_del_entry_valid 3.00% check_preemption_disabled 1.42% prep_new_page <default> <patch> - 31.00% __vmalloc_node - __vmalloc_node_range - 14.48% __alloc_pages_bulk 3.22% __list_del_entry_valid - 0.83% __alloc_pages get_page_from_freelist <patch> The "test_vmalloc.sh" also shows performance improvements: fix_size_alloc_test_4MB loops: 1000000 avg: 89105095 usec fix_size_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 513672 usec full_fit_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 748900 usec long_busy_list_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 8043038 usec random_size_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 4028582 usec fix_align_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 1457671 usec fix_size_alloc_test_4MB loops: 1000000 avg: 62083711 usec fix_size_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 449207 usec full_fit_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 735985 usec long_busy_list_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 5176052 usec random_size_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 2589252 usec fix_align_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 1365009 usec For example 4MB allocations illustrates ~30% gain, all the rest is also better.
