Subject: [Patch V2] MdePkg: Code optimization to SMM InternalAllocateAlignedPages
Date: Thu, 18 May 2023 15:31:01 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230518073101.1838-1-dun.tan@intel.com> (raw)
This commit is code optimization to InternalAllocateAlignedPages of
SmmMemoryAllocationLib which can reduce free memory fragments. Also
it can reduce one pre-allocation page.
Let's take a simple example:
The expected pages size is 8KB, Alignment value is 8KB.
In original InternalAllocateAlignedPages(), the first step is to
allocate 4 pages and then find the first 8KB-aligned address in
allocated 4 pages. If the upper limit address of allocated 4 pages
is already 8KB aligned, then the allocated 4 pages contains two
8KB-aligned 8KB ranges. The lower 2 pages will be selected and
removed from free pages. Then the higher 2 pages will be free.
Since the whole memory allocation is from high address to low
address, then the higher 2 pages cann't be merged with other free
pages, causing the free memory fragments.
However, when only allocate 3(2+2-1) pages, we can avoid the free
memory fragments in specific case. Also 3 pages must contain a
8KB-aligned 8KB range, which meets the requirement. If the upper
limit address of allocated 3 pages is 8KB-aligned, then the higher
2 pages range of allocated 3 pages is 8KB-aligned and will be
selected and removed from free pages. The remaining lower one page
of allocated 3 pages will be free and merged with left lower free
memory. This can reduce free memory fragments in smm.
