[PATCH v4 5/5] memcg : select a victim node by weights

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

 



This patch implements a node selection logic based on each node's weight.

This patch adds a new array of nodescan_tickets[]. This array holds
each node's scan weight in a tuple of 2 values. as

    for (i = 0, total_weight = 0; i < nodes; i++) {
        weight = node->weight;
        nodescan_tickets[i].start = total_weight;
        nodescan_tickets[i].length = weight;
    }

After this, a lottery logic as 'ticket = random32()/total_weight'
will make a ticket and bserach(ticket, nodescan_tickets[])
will find a node which holds [start, length] contains ticket.
(This is a lottery scheduling.)

By this, node will be selected in fair manner proportinal to
its weight.

This patch improve the scan time. Following is a test result
ot apatch bench on 2-node fake-numa. In this test, almost all
pages are file cache and too much scan on anon and swap-out
is harmful. (The result itself is measured with following patches
to this.)

   Working set: 600Mbytes random access in normalized distribution
   Memory Limit: 300MBytes

vmscan time is much reduced.
