[PATCH v7 13/13] vmstat: add pcp remote node draining via cpu_vm_stats_fold

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

 



Large NUMA systems might have significant portions 
of system memory to be trapped in pcp queues. The number of pcp is                                                             
determined by the number of processors and nodes in a system. A system                                                              
with 4 processors and 2 nodes has 8 pcps which is okay. But a system                                                                
with 1024 processors and 512 nodes has 512k pcps with a high potential                                                              
for large amount of memory being caught in them.

Enable remote node draining for the CONFIG_HAVE_CMPXCHG_LOCAL case,
where vmstat_shepherd will perform the aging and draining via
cpu_vm_stats_fold.
