This patchset is to optimize the cross-socket memory access with
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy.
To test this patch we ran the following test on a 3 node system.
Node 0 - 2GB - Tier 1
Node 1 - 11GB - Tier 1
Node 6 - 10GB - Tier 2
Below changes are made to memcached to set the memory policy,
It select Node0 and Node1 as preferred nodes.
#include <numaif.h>
#include <numa.h>
unsigned long nodemask;
int ret;
nodemask = 0x03;
ret = set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY | MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING,
&nodemask, 10);
/* If MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING isn't supported,
* fall back to MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY */
if (ret < 0 && errno == EINVAL){
printf("set mem policy normal\n");
ret = set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY, &nodemask, 10);
}
if (ret < 0) {
perror("Failed to call set_mempolicy");
exit(-1);
}
Test Procedure:
===============
1. Make sure memory tiering and demotion are enabled.
2. Start memcached.
# ./memcached -b 100000 -m 204800 -u root -c 1000000 -t 7
-d -s "/tmp/memcached.sock"
3. Run memtier_benchmark to store 3200000 keys.
#./memtier_benchmark -S "/tmp/memcached.sock" --protocol=memcache_binary
--threads=1 --pipeline=1 --ratio=1:0 --key-pattern=S:S --key-minimum=1
--key-maximum=3200000 -n allkeys -c 1 -R -x 1 -d 1024
4. Start a memory eater on node 0 and 1. This will demote all memcached
pages to node 6.
5. Make sure all the memcached pages got demoted to lower tier by reading
/proc/<memcaced PID>/numa_maps.
# cat /proc/2771/numa_maps

default anon=1009 dirty=1009 active=0 N6=1009 kernelpagesize_kB=64
---
6. Kill memory eater.
7. Read the pgpromote_success counter.
8. Start reading the keys by running memtier_benchmark.
#./memtier_benchmark -S "/tmp/memcached.sock" --protocol=memcache_binary
--pipeline=1 --distinct-client-seed --ratio=0:3 --key-pattern=R:R
--key-minimum=1 --key-maximum=3200000 -n allkeys
--threads=64 -c 1 -R -x 6
9. Read the pgpromote_success counter.

Test Result Analysis:
=====================
1. With patch we could observe pages are getting promoted.
2. Memtier-benchmark results shows that, with the patch,
performance has increased more than 50%.
Ops/sec without fix - 305792.03
Ops/sec with fix - 521942.24
Changes:
V4
- Added an example in the "PATCH 2/2" commit message as per the discussion
from V3.
V3:
- Added "* @vmf: structure describing the fault" comment for
mpol_misplaced() to fix the warning.
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202403202229.WZeAnUuO-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/
-https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1711002865.git.donettom@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
v2:
- Rebased on latest upstream (v6.8-rc7)
- Used 'numa_node_id()' to get the current execution node ID, Added
'lockdep_assert_held' to make sure that the 'mpol_misplaced()' is
called with ptl held.
- The migration condition has been updated; now, migration will only
occur if the execution node is present in the policy nodemask.

-v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/9c3f7b743477560d1c5b12b8c111a584a2cc92ee.1708097962.git.donettom@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/#t
Donet Tom (2):
mm/mempolicy: Use numa_node_id() instead of cpu_to_node()
