    erofs: allocate more short-lived pages from reserved pool first · 79f504a2
    Chunhai Guo authored
    This patch aims to allocate bvpages and short-lived compressed pages
    from the reserved pool first.
    
    After applying this patch, there are three benefits.
    
    1. It reduces the page allocation time.
     The bvpages and short-lived compressed pages account for about 4% of
    the pages allocated from the system in the multi-app launch benchmarks
    [1]. It reduces the page allocation time accordingly and lowers the
    likelihood of blockage by page allocation in low memory scenarios.
    
    2. The pages in the reserved pool will be allocated on demand.
     Currently, bvpages and short-lived compressed pages are short-lived
    pages allocated from the system, and the pages in the reserved pool all
    originate from short-lived pages. Consequently, the number of reserved
    pool pages will increase to z_erofs_rsv_nrpages over time.
     With this patch, all short-lived pages are allocated from the reserved
    pool first, so the number of reserved pool pages will only increase when
    there are not enough pages. Thus, even if z_erofs_rsv_nrpages is set to
    a large number for specific reasons, the actual number of reserved pool
    pages may remain low as per demand. In the multi-app launch benchmarks
    [1], z_erofs_rsv_nrpages is set at 256, while the number of reserved
    pool pages remains below 64.
    
    3. When erofs cache decompression is disabled
       (EROFS_ZIP_CACHE_DISABLED), all pages will *only* be allocated from
    the reserved pool for erofs. This will significantly reduce the memory
    pressure from erofs.
    
    [1] For additional details on the multi-app launch benchmarks, please
    refer to commit 0f6273ab ("erofs: add a reserved buffer pool for lz4
    decompression").
