From 5e21f2d577cf174ced5fe9bdff67dcb70190d9f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)" Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2022 11:34:49 +0200 Subject: lib/test_vmalloc: switch to prandom_u32() A get_random_bytes() function can cause a high contention if it is called across CPUs simultaneously. Because it shares one lock per all CPUs: class name con-bounces contentions waittime-min waittime-max waittime-total waittime-avg acq-bounces acquisitions holdtime-min holdtime-max holdtime-total holdtime-avg &crng->lock: 663145 665886 0.05 8.85 261966.66 0.39 7188152 13731279 0.04 11.89 2181582.30 0.16 ----------- &crng->lock 307835 [<00000000acba59cd>] _extract_crng+0x48/0x90 &crng->lock 358051 [<00000000f0075abc>] _crng_backtrack_protect+0x32/0x90 ----------- &crng->lock 234241 [<00000000f0075abc>] _crng_backtrack_protect+0x32/0x90 &crng->lock 431645 [<00000000acba59cd>] _extract_crng+0x48/0x90 Switch from the get_random_bytes() to prandom_u32() that does not have any internal contention when a random value is needed for the tests. The reason is to minimize CPU cycles introduced by the test-suite itself from the vmalloc performance metrics.
