[PATCH v3 1/3] mm, lru_gen: try to prefetch next page when scanning LRU

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

 



From: Kairui Song <kasong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Prefetch for inactive/active LRU have been long exiting, apply the same
optimization for MGLRU.

Test 1: Ramdisk fio ro test in a 4G memcg on a EPYC 7K62:
  fio -name=mglru --numjobs=16 --directory=/mnt --size=960m \
    --buffered=1 --ioengine=io_uring --iodepth=128 \
    --iodepth_batch_submit=32 --iodepth_batch_complete=32 \
    --rw=randread --random_distribution=zipf:0.5 --norandommap \
    --time_based --ramp_time=1m --runtime=6m --group_reporting

Before this patch:
bw (  MiB/s): min= 7758, max= 9239, per=100.00%, avg=8747.59, stdev=16.51, samples=11488
iops        : min=1986251, max=2365323, avg=2239380.87, stdev=4225.93, samples=11488

After this patch (+7.2%):
bw (  MiB/s): min= 8360, max= 9771, per=100.00%, avg=9381.31, stdev=15.67, samples=11488
iops        : min=2140296, max=2501385, avg=2401613.91, stdev=4010.41, samples=11488

Test 2: Ramdisk fio hybrid test for 30m in a 4G memcg on a EPYC 7K62 (3 times):
  fio --buffered=1 --numjobs=8 --size=960m --directory=/mnt \
    --time_based --ramp_time=1m --runtime=30m \
    --ioengine=io_uring --iodepth=128 --iodepth_batch_submit=32 \
    --iodepth_batch_complete=32 --norandommap \
    --name=mglru-ro --rw=randread --random_distribution=zipf:0.7 \
    --name=mglru-rw --rw=randrw --random_distribution=zipf:0.7

Test 3: 30m of MySQL test in 6G memcg (12 times):
  echo 'set GLOBAL innodb_buffer_pool_size=16106127360;' | \
    mysql -u USER -h localhost --password=PASS

  sysbench /usr/share/sysbench/oltp_read_only.lua \
    --mysql-user=USER --mysql-password=PASS --mysql-db=DB \
    --tables=48 --table-size=2000000 --threads=16 --time=1800 run

Test 4: Build linux kernel in 2G memcg with make -j48 with SSD swap
        (for memory stress, 18 times):

Avg: 1456.768899 s. Stdev: 20.106973

After this patch (+0.0%):
Avg: 1455.659254 s. Stdev: 15.274481

Test 5: Memtier test in a 4G cgroup using brd as swap (18 times):
  memcached -u nobody -m 16384 -s /tmp/memcached.socket \
    -a 0766 -t 16 -B binary &
  memtier_benchmark -S /tmp/memcached.socket \
    -P memcache_binary -n allkeys \
    --key-minimum=1 --key-maximum=16000000 -d 1024 \
    --ratio=1:0 --key-pattern=P:P -c 1 -t 16 --pipeline 8 -x 3

Before this patch:
Avg: 50317.984000 Ops/sec. Stdev: 2568.965458

After this patch (-5.7%):
Avg: 47691.343500 Ops/sec. Stdev: 3925.772473

It seems prefetch is helpful in most cases, but the memtier test is
either hitting a case where prefetch causes higher cache miss or it's
just too noisy (high stdev).
