Premit use of another algorithm than the default first-fit one. For example a custom algorithm could be used to manage alignment requirements. As I can't predict all the possible requirements/needs for all allocation uses cases, I add a "free" field 'void *data' to pass any needed information to the allocation function. For example 'data' could be used to handle a structure where you store the alignment, the expected memory bank, the requester device, or any information that could influence the allocation algorithm. An usage example may look like this: struct my_pool_constraints { int align; int bank; ... }; unsigned long my_custom_algo(unsigned long *map, unsigned long size, unsigned long start, unsigned int nr, void *data) { struct my_pool_constraints *constraints = data; ... deal with allocation contraints ... return the index in bitmap where perform the allocation } void create_my_pool() { struct my_pool_constraints c; struct gen_pool *pool = gen_pool_create(...); gen_pool_add(pool, ...); gen_pool_set_algo(pool, my_custom_algo, &c); } Add of best-fit algorithm function: most of the time best-fit is slower then first-fit but memory fragmentation is lower. The random buffer allocation/free tests don't show any arithmetic relation between the allocation time and fragmentation but the best-fit algorithm is sometime able to perform the allocation when the first-fit can't. This new algorithm help to remove static allocations on ESRAM, a small but fast on-chip RAM of few KB, used for high-performance uses cases like DMA linked lists, graphic accelerators, encoders/decoders. On the Ux500 (in the ARM tree) we have define 5 ESRAM banks of 128 KB each and use of static allocations becomes unmaintainable: cd arch/arm/mach-ux500 && grep -r ESRAM . ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:/* Base address and bank offsets for ESRAM */ ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BASE 0x40000000 ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE 0x00020000 ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK0 U8500_ESRAM_BASE ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK1 (U8500_ESRAM_BASE + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE) ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK2 (U8500_ESRAM_BANK1 + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE) ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK3 (U8500_ESRAM_BANK2 + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE) ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK4 (U8500_ESRAM_BANK3 + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE) ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_DMA_LCPA_OFFSET 0x10000 ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_DMA_LCPA_BASE (U8500_ESRAM_BANK0 + U8500_ESRAM_DMA_LCPA_OFFSET) ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_DMA_LCLA_BASE U8500_ESRAM_BANK4 I want to use genalloc to do dynamic allocations but I need to be able to fine tune the allocation algorithm. I my case best-fit algorithm give better results than first-fit, but it will not be true for every use case.

* Basic general purpose allocator for managing special purpose
|
|
* memory, for example, memory that is not managed by the regular
|
|
* kmalloc/kfree interface. Uses for this includes on-device special
|
|
* memory, uncached memory etc.
|
|
*
|
|
* It is safe to use the allocator in NMI handlers and other special
|
|
* unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks. This
|
|
* is implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any
|
|
* conflicts. The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in
|
|
* extreme cases. For better scalability, one allocator can be used
|
|
* for each CPU.
|
|
*
|
|
* The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory
|
|
* available. If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be
|
|
* still taken. So any user relying on locklessness has to ensure
|
|
* that sufficient memory is preallocated.
|
|
*
|
|
* The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long.
|
|
* On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation,
|
|
* the allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the
|
|
* allocator in NMI handler should depend on
|
|
* CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.
