Subject: [PATCH] mm: Preallocate some space when adding new regions
When grub_memalign() encounters out-of-memory, it will try
grub_mm_add_region_fn() to request more memory from system firmware.
However, it doesn't preallocate memory space for future allocation
requests. In extreme cases, it requires one call to
grub_mm_add_region_fn() for each memory allocation request. This can
be very slow.
This patch introduces GRUB_MM_HEAP_GROW_EXTRA, the minimal heap growth
granularity. The new region size is now set to the bigger one of its
original value and GRUB_MM_HEAP_GROW_EXTRA. Thus, it will result in some
memory space preallocated if current allocations request is small.
The value of GRUB_MM_HEAP_GROW_EXTRA is set to 1MB. If this value is
smaller, the cost of small memory allocations will be higher. If this
value is larger, more memory will be wasted and it might cause
out-of-memory on machines with small amount of RAM.
