[PATCH v3] sched/numa: add per-process numa_balancing

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

 



This patch add a new api PR_NUMA_BALANCING in prctl.

A large number of page faults will cause performance loss when numa
balancing is performing. Thus those processes which care about worst-case
performance need numa balancing disabled. Others, on the contrary, allow a
temporary performance loss in exchange for higher average performance, so
enable numa balancing is better for them.

Numa balancing can only be controlled globally by
/proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing. Due to the above case, we want to
disable/enable numa_balancing per-process instead.

Add numa_balancing under mm_struct. Then use it in task_tick_fair.

Set per-process numa balancing:
	prctl(PR_NUMA_BALANCING, PR_SET_NUMAB_DISABLE); //disable
	prctl(PR_NUMA_BALANCING, PR_SET_NUMAB_ENABLE);  //enable
	prctl(PR_NUMA_BALANCING, PR_SET_NUMAB_DEFAULT); //follow global
Get numa_balancing state:
	prctl(PR_NUMA_BALANCING, PR_GET_NUMAB, &ret);
	cat /proc/<pid>/status | grep NumaB_enabled

Changes in v3:
- Fix compile error.

Changes in v2:
- Now PR_NUMA_BALANCING support three states: enabled, disabled, default.
  enabled and disabled will ignore global setting, and default will follow
  global setting.
