Technical Overview
Engineering breakdown of Benchmarking Linux Kernel Memory Page Allocations (7069). Bare-metal hardware performance requires isolated kernel parameters, precise page‑size tuning, and low‑overhead measurement harnesses. This article walks through the allocation paths (buddy allocator, slab, page‑cache), the impact of vm.min_free_kbytes, zone_reclaim_mode, and huge‑page reservations on latency and throughput.
Key Metrics
- Allocation latency (ns) for order‑0 vs order‑3 pages
- Fragmentation index over time under mixed workloads
- TLB shootdown cost when huge pages are enabled
All measurements are collected on a dual‑socket Xeon Scalable platform (2 × 28 cores, 384 GiB DDR4‑3200) with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM disabled to avoid instrumentation bias.
