SubjectRe: [PATCH V6 2/2] ksm: replace jhash2 with faster hash
Gentle ping

2018-01-03 6:09 GMT+03:00 Timofey Titovets <nefelim4ag@gmail.com>:
> 1. Pickup, Sioh Lee crc32 patch, after some long conversation
> 2. Merge with my work on xxhash
> 3. Add autoselect code to choice fastest hash helper.
>
> Base idea are same, replace jhash2 with something faster.

> Perf numbers:
> Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2420 v2 @ 2.20GHz
> ksm: crc32c hash() 12081 MB/s
> ksm: xxh64 hash() 8770 MB/s
> ksm: xxh32 hash() 4529 MB/s
> ksm: jhash2 hash() 1569 MB/s
>
> As jhash2 always will be slower (for data size like PAGE_SIZE),
> just drop it from choice.

> Add function to autoselect hash algo on boot,

> Move init of zero_checksum from init, to first call of fasthash():
> 1. KSM Init run on early kernel init,
> run perf testing stuff on main kernel boot thread looks bad to me.
> 2. Crypto subsystem not avaliable at that early booting,
> so crc32c even, compiled in, not avaliable
> As crypto and ksm init, run at subsys_initcall() (4) kernel level of init,
> all possible consumers will run later at 5+ levels

> Output after first try of KSM to hash page:
> ksm: crc32c hash() 15218 MB/s
> ksm: xxhash hash() 8640 MB/s
> ksm: choice crc32c as hash function

> Changes:
> v1 -> v2:
> - Move xxhash() to xxhash.h/c and separate patches
> v2 -> v3:
> - Move xxhash() xxhash.c -> xxhash.h
> - replace xxhash_t with 'unsigned long'
> - update kerneldoc above xxhash()
> v3 -> v4:
> - Merge xxhash/crc32 patches
> - Replace crc32 with crc32c (crc32 have same as jhash2 speed)
> - Add auto speed test and auto choice of fastest hash function
> v4 -> v5:
> - Pickup missed xxhash patch
> - Update code with compile time choicen xxhash
> - Add more macros to make code more readable
> - As now that only possible use xxhash or crc32c,
> on crc32c allocation error, skip speed test and fallback to xxhash
> - For workaround too early init problem (crc32c not avaliable),
> move zero_checksum init to first call of fastcall()
> - Don't alloc page for hash testing, use arch zero pages for that
> v5 -> v6:
> - Use libcrc32c instead of CRYPTO API, mainly for
> code/Kconfig deps Simplification
> - Add crc32c_available():
> libcrc32c will BUG_ON on crc32c problems,
> so test crc32c avaliable by crc32c_available()
> - Simplify choice_fastest_hash()
> - Simplify fasthash()
> - struct rmap_item && stable_node have sizeof == 64 on x86_64,
> that makes them cache friendly. As we don't suffer from hash collisions,
> change hash type from unsigned long back to u32.
> - Fix kbuild robot warning, make all local functions static
