[PATCH v4 0/3] introduce 'restrictive' mode in numatune

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Before this patch set, numatune only has three memory modes:
static, interleave and prefered. These memory policies are
ultimately set by mbind() system call.

Memory policy could be 'hard coded' into the kernel, but none of
above policies fit our requirment under this case. mbind() support
default memory policy, but it requires a NULL nodemask. So obviously
setting allowed memory nodes is cgroups' mission under this case.
So we introduce a new option for mode in numatune named 'restrictive'.

<numatune>
   <memory mode="restrictive" nodeset="1-4,^3"/>
   <memnode cellid="0" mode="restrictive" nodeset="1"/>
   <memnode cellid="2" mode="restrictive" nodeset="2"/>
</numatune>

The config above means we only use cgroups to restrict the allowed
memory nodes and not setting any specific memory policies explicitly.
