Subject: [PATCH] ZEN: Input: evdev - use call_rcu when detaching client
Significant time was spent on synchronize_rcu in evdev_detach_client
when applications closed evdev devices. Switching VT away from a
graphical environment commonly leads to mass input device closures,
which could lead to noticable delays on systems with many input devices.
Replace synchronize_rcu with call_rcu, deferring reclaim of the evdev
client struct till after the RCU grace period instead of blocking the
calling application.
While this does not solve all slow evdev fd closures, it takes care of a
good portion of them, including this simple test:
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int idx, fd;
const char *path = "/dev/input/event0";
for (idx = 0; idx < 1000; idx++) {
if ((fd = open(path, O_RDWR)) == -1) {
return -1;
}
close(fd);
}
return 0;
}
Time to completion of above test when run locally:
Before: 0m27.111s
After: 0m0.018s

Subject: [PATCH] ZEN: mm: Lower the non-hugetlbpage pageblock size to reduce
scheduling delays
The page allocator processes free pages in groups of pageblocks, where
the size of a pageblock is typically quite large (1024 pages without
hugetlbpage support). Pageblocks are processed atomically with the zone
lock held, which can cause severe scheduling delays on both the CPU
going through the pageblock and any other CPUs waiting to acquire the
zone lock. A frequent offender is move_freepages_block(), which is used
by rmqueue() for page allocation.
As it turns out, there's no requirement for pageblocks to be so large,
so the pageblock order can simply be reduced to ease the scheduling
delays and zone lock contention. PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is used as a
reasonable setting to ensure non-costly page allocation requests can
still be serviced without always needing to free up more than one
pageblock's worth of pages at a time.
This has a noticeable effect on overall system latency when memory
pressure is elevated. The various mm functions which operate on
pageblocks no longer appear in the preemptoff tracer, where previously
they would spend up to 100 ms on a mobile arm64 CPU processing a
pageblock with preemption disabled and the zone lock held.

Subject: [PATCH] ZEN: mm: Don't hog the CPU and zone lock in rmqueue_bulk()
There is noticeable scheduling latency and heavy zone lock contention
stemming from rmqueue_bulk's single hold of the zone lock while doing
its work, as seen with the preemptoff tracer. There's no actual need for
rmqueue_bulk() to hold the zone lock the entire time; it only does so
for supposed efficiency. As such, we can relax the zone lock and even
reschedule when IRQs are enabled in order to keep the scheduling delays
and zone lock contention at bay. Forward progress is still guaranteed,
as the zone lock can only be relaxed after page removal.
With this change, rmqueue_bulk() no longer appears as a serious offender
in the preemptoff tracer, and system latency is noticeably improved.
