[Patch v4 16/18] KVM: x86/mmu: Allocate numa aware page tables during page fault

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

 



Allocate page tables on the preferred NUMA node via memory cache during
page faults. If memory cache doesn't have a preferred NUMA node (node
value is set to NUMA_NO_NODE) then fallback to the default logic where
pages are selected based on thread's mempolicy. Also, free NUMA aware
page caches, mmu_shadow_page_cache, when memory shrinker is invoked.

Allocate root pages based on the current thread's NUMA node as there is
no way to know which will be the ideal NUMA node in long run.

This commit allocate page tables to be on the same NUMA node as the
physical page pointed by them, even if a vCPU causing page fault is on a
different NUMA node. If memory is not available on the requested NUMA
node then the other nearest NUMA node is selected by default. NUMA aware
page tables can be beneficial in cases where a thread touches lot of far
memory initially and then divide work among multiple threads. VMs
generally take advantage of NUMA architecture for faster memory access
by moving threads to the NUMA node of the memory they are accessing.
This change will help them in accessing pages faster.

Downside of this change is that an experimental workload can be created
where a guest threads are always accessing remote memory and not the one
local to them. This will cause performance to degrade compared to VMs
where numa aware page tables are not enabled. Ideally, these VMs when
using non-uniform memory access machine should generally be taking
advantage of NUMA architecture to improve their performance in the first
place.
