This adds a special global buffer pool (in the end) for reserved pages.
Using a reserved pool for LZ4 decompression significantly reduces the
time spent on extra temporary page allocation for the extreme cases in
low memory scenarios.
The table below shows the reduction in time spent on page allocation for
LZ4 decompression when using a reserved pool. The results were obtained
from multi-app launch benchmarks on ARM64 Android devices running the
5.15 kernel with an 8-core CPU and 8GB of memory. In the benchmark, we
launched 16 frequently-used apps, and the camera app was the last one in
each round. The data in the table is the average time of camera app for
each round.
After using the reserved pool, there was an average improvement of 150ms
in the overall launch time of our camera app, which was obtained from
the systrace log.
+--------------+---------------+--------------+---------+
| | w/o page pool | w/ page pool | diff |
+--------------+---------------+--------------+---------+
| Average (ms) | 3434 | 21 | -99.38% |
+--------------+---------------+--------------+---------+
Based on the benchmark logs, 64 pages are sufficient for 95% of
scenarios. This value can be adjusted from the module parameter.
The default value is 0.
This pool is currently only used for the LZ4 decompressor, but it can be
applied to more decompressors if needed.
