This is the second step which introduces a tunable interface that allow numa stats configurable for optimizing zone_statistics(), as suggested by Dave Hansen and Ying Huang. ========================================================================= When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can tolerate some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter precision, you can do: echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat In this case, numa counter update is ignored. We can see about *4.8%*(185->176) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench01 (single thread) and *8.1%*(343->315) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench03 (88 threads) running on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server (88 threads, 126G memory). Benchmark link provided by Jesper D Brouer(increase loop times to 10000000): https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/tree/master/kernel/mm/ bench ========================================================================= When page allocation performance is not a bottleneck and you want all tooling to work, you can do: echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat This is system default setting. Many thanks to Michal Hocko, Dave Hansen, Ying Huang and Vlastimil Babka for comments to help improve the original patch. ChangeLog: V3->V4 a) Get rid of auto mode of numa stats, and may add it back if necessary, as alignment before; b) Skip NUMA_INTERLEAVE_HIT counter update when numa stats is disabled, as reported by Andrey Ryabinin. See commit "de55c8b2519" for details c) Remove extern declaration for those clear_numa_ function, and make them static in vmstat.c, as suggested by Vlastimil Babka. V2->V3: a) Propose a better way to use jump label to eliminate the overhead of branch selection in zone_statistics(), as inspired by Ying Huang; b) Add a paragraph in commit log to describe the way for branch target selection; c) Use a more descriptive name numa_stats_mode instead of vmstat_mode, and change the description accordingly, as suggested by Michal Hocko; d) Make this functionality NUMA-specific via ifdef V1->V2: a) Merge to one patch; b) Use jump label to eliminate the overhead of branch selection; c) Add a single-time log message at boot time to help tell users what happened.
