[PATCH 18/33] sched, numa, mm: Add the scanning page fault machinery

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

 



From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx>

Add the NUMA working set scanning/hinting page fault machinery,
with no policy yet.

The numa_migration_target() function is a derivative of
Andrea Arcangeli's code in the AutoNUMA tree - including the
comment above the function.

An additional enhancement is that instead of node granular faults
we are recording CPU granular faults, which allows us to make
a distinction between:

 - 'private' tasks (who access pages that have been accessed
   from the same CPU before - i.e. by the same task)

 - and 'shared' tasks: who access pages that tend to have been
   accessed by another CPU, i.e. another task.

We later on use this fault metric to do enhancement task and
memory placement.

[ The earliest versions had the mpol_misplaced() function from
  Lee Schermerhorn - this was heavily modified later on. ]

Many thanks to everyone involved for these great ideas and code.

+	  This option enables NUMA-aware, transparent, automatic
+	  placement optimizations of memory, tasks and task groups.
+
+	  The optimizations work by (transparently) runtime sampling the
+	  workload sharing relationship between threads and processes
+	  of long-run workloads, and scheduling them based on these
+	  measured inter-task relationships (or the lack thereof).
+
+	  ("Long-run" means several seconds of CPU runtime at least.)
+
+	  Tasks that predominantly perform their own processing, without
+	  interacting with other tasks much will be independently balanced
+	  to a CPU and their working set memory will migrate to that CPU/node.
+
+	  Tasks that share a lot of data with each other will be attempted to
+	  be scheduled on as few nodes as possible, with their memory
+	  following them there and being distributed between those nodes.
+
+	  This optimization can improve the performance of long-run CPU-bound
+	  workloads by 10% or more. The sampling and migration has a small
+	  but nonzero cost, so if your NUMA workload is already perfectly
+	  placed (for example by use of explicit CPU and memory bindings,
+	  or because the stock scheduler does a good job already) then you
+	  probably don't need this feature.
+
+	  [ On non-NUMA systems this feature will not be active. You can query
+	    whether your system is a NUMA system via looking at the output of
+	    "numactl --hardware". ]
+
+	  Say N if unsure.
