When a system has multiple NUMA nodes and it becomes bandwidth hungry,
the current MPOL_INTERLEAVE could be an wise option.
However, if those NUMA nodes consist of different types of memory such
as having local DRAM and CXL memory together, the current round-robin
based interleaving policy doesn't maximize the overall bandwidth because
of their different bandwidth characteristics.
Instead, the interleaving can be more efficient when the allocation
policy follows each NUMA nodes' bandwidth weight rather than having 1:1
round-robin allocation.
This patch introduces a new memory policy, MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE, which
enables weighted interleaving between NUMA nodes. Weighted interleave
allows for a proportional distribution of memory across multiple numa
nodes, preferablly apportioned to match the bandwidth capacity of each
node from the perspective of the accessing node.
For example, if a system has 1 CPU node (0), and 2 memory nodes (0,1),
with a relative bandwidth of (100GB/s, 50GB/s) respectively, the
appropriate weight distribution is (2:1).
Weights will be acquired from the global weight matrix exposed by the
sysfs extension: /sys/kernel/mm/mempolicy/weighted_interleave/ or
from the `default_iw_table`, which will be extended to allow defaults
to be registered by core/cxl drivers in the future.
The policy will then allocate the number of pages according to the
set weights. For example, if the weights are (2,1), then 2 pages
will be allocated on node0 for every 1 page allocated on node1.
The new flag MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE can be used in set_mempolicy(2)
and mbind(2).
There are 3 integration points:
weighted_interleave_nodes:
Counts the number of allocations as they occur, and applies the
weight for the current node. When the weight reaches 0, switch
to the next node. Applied by `mempolicy_slab_node()` and
`policy_nodemask()`
weighted_interleave_nid:
Gets the total weight of the nodemask as well as each individual
node weight, then calculates the node based on the given index.
Applied by `policy_nodemask()` and `mpol_misplaced()`
bulk_array_weighted_interleave:
Gets the total weight of the nodemask as well as each individual
node weight, then calculates the number of "interleave rounds" as
well as any delta ("partial round"). Calculates the number of
pages for each node and allocates them.
If a node was scheduled for interleave via interleave_nodes, the
current weight (pol->cur_weight) will be allocated first, before
the remaining bulk calculation is done. This simplifies the
calculation at the cost of an additional allocation call.
One piece of complexity is the interaction between a recent refactor
which split the logic to acquire the "ilx" (interleave index) of an
allocation and the actually application of the interleave. The
calculation of the `interleave index` is done by `get_vma_policy()`,
while the actual selection of the node will be later appliex by the
relevant weighted_interleave function.
