When a system has multiple NUMA nodes and it becomes bandwidth hungry,
using the current MPOL_INTERLEAVE could be an wise option.
However, if those NUMA nodes consist of different types of memory such
as socket-attached DRAM and CXL/PCIe attached DRAM, the round-robin
based interleave policy does not optimally distribute data to make use
of their different bandwidth characteristics.
Instead, interleave is more effective when the allocation policy follows
each NUMA nodes' bandwidth weight rather than a simple 1:1 distribution.
This patch introduces a new memory policy, MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE,
enabling weighted interleave between NUMA nodes. Weighted interleave
allows for proportional distribution of memory across multiple numa
nodes, preferably apportioned to match the bandwidth of each node.
For example, if a system has 1 CPU node (0), and 2 memory nodes (0,1),
with bandwidth of (100GB/s, 50GB/s) respectively, the appropriate
weight distribution is (2:1).
Weights for each node can be assigned via the new sysfs extension:
/sys/kernel/mm/mempolicy/weighted_interleave/
For now, the default value of all nodes will be `1`, which matches
the behavior of standard 1:1 round-robin interleave. An extension
will be added in the future to allow default values to be registered
at kernel and device bringup time.
The policy allocates a number of pages equal 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).
Some high level notes about the pieces of weighted interleave:
current->il_prev:
Default interleave uses this to track the last used node.
Weighted interleave uses this to track the *current* node, and
when weight reaches 0 it will be used to acquire the next node.
current->il_weight:
The active weight of the current node (current->il_prev)
When this reaches 0, current->il_prev is set to the next node
and current->il_weight is set to the next weight.
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. Operates only on task->mempolicy.
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.
Operates on VMA policies.
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 will be allocated first.
Operates only on the task->mempolicy.
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 actual application of the interleave. If a call
to alloc_pages_mpol() were made with a weighted-interleave policy and
ilx set to NO_INTERLEAVE_INDEX, weighted_interleave_nodes() would
operate on a VMA policy - violating the description above.
An inspection of all callers of alloc_pages_mpol() shows that all
external callers set ilx to `0`, an index value, or will call
get_vma_policy() to acquire the ilx.
For example, mm/shmem.c may call into alloc_pages_mpol. The call stacks
all set (pgoff_t ilx) or end up in `get_vma_policy()`. This enforces
the `weighted_interleave_nodes()` and `weighted_interleave_nid()`
policy requirements (task/vma respectively).
