[PATCH 0/63] Basic scheduler support for automatic NUMA balancing V9

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

 



This series has roughly the same goals as previous versions despite the
size. It reduces overhead of automatic balancing through scan rate reduction
and the avoidance of TLB flushes. It selects a preferred node and moves tasks
towards their memory as well as moving memory toward their task. It handles
shared pages and groups related tasks together. Some problems such as shared
page interleaving and properly dealing with processes that are larger than
a node are being deferred. This version should be ready for wider testing
in -tip.

Note that with kernel 3.12-rc3 that numa balancing will fail to boot if
CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is configured. This is a separate bug that is currently
being dealt with.

o Pass in correct node information for THP hinting faults
o Pressure tasks sharing a THP page to move towards same node
o Do not set pmd_numa if false sharing is detected

Changelog since V2
o Reshuffle to match Peter's implied preference for layout
o Reshuffle to move private/shared split towards end of series to make it
  easier to evaluate the impact
o Use PID information to identify private accesses
o Set the floor for PTE scanning based on virtual address space scan rates
  instead of time
o Some locking improvements
o Do not preempt pinned tasks unless they are kernel threads

Changelog since V1
o Scan pages with elevated map count (shared pages)
o Scale scan rates based on the vsz of the process so the sampling of the
  task is independant of its size
o Favour moving towards nodes with more faults even if it's not the
  preferred node
o Laughably basic accounting of a compute overloaded node when selecting
  the preferred node.
o Applied review comments

This series integrates basic scheduler support for automatic NUMA balancing.
It was initially based on Peter Ziljstra's work in "sched, numa, mm:
Add adaptive NUMA affinity support" but deviates too much to preserve
Signed-off-bys. As before, if the relevant authors are ok with it I'll
add Signed-off-bys (or add them yourselves if you pick the patches up).
There has been a tonne of additional work from both Peter and Rik van Riel.

Some reports indicate that the performance is getting close to manual
bindings for some workloads but your mileage will vary.

Patch 1 is a monolithic dump of patches thare are destined for upstream that
	this series indirectly depends upon.

Patches 2-3 adds sysctl documentation and comment fixlets

Patch 4 avoids accounting for a hinting fault if another thread handled the
	fault in parallel

Patches 5-6 avoid races with parallel THP migration and THP splits.

Patch 7 corrects a THP NUMA hint fault accounting bug

Patches 8-9 avoids TLB flushes during the PTE scan if no updates are made

Patch 10 sanitizes task_numa_fault callsites to have consist semantics and
	always record the fault based on the correct location of the page.

Patch 11 closes races between THP migration and PMD clearing.

Patch 12 avoids trying to migrate the THP zero page

Patch 13 avoids the same task being selected to perform the PTE scan within
	a shared address space.

Patch 14 continues PTE scanning even if migration rate limited

Patch 15 notes that delaying the PTE scan until a task is scheduled on an
	alternative node misses the case where the task is only accessing
	shared memory on a partially loaded machine and reverts a patch.

Patch 16 initialises numa_next_scan properly so that PTE scanning is delayed
	when a process starts.

Patch 17 sets the scan rate proportional to the size of the task being
	scanned.

Patch 18 slows the scan rate if no hinting faults were trapped by an idle task.

Patch 19 tracks NUMA hinting faults per-task and per-node

Patches 20-24 selects a preferred node at the end of a PTE scan based on what
	node incurred the highest number of NUMA faults. When the balancer
	is comparing two CPU it will prefer to locate tasks on their
	preferred node. When initially selected the task is rescheduled on
	the preferred node if it is not running on that node already. This
	avoids waiting for the scheduler to move the task slowly.

Patch 25 adds infrastructure to allow separate tracking of shared/private
	pages but treats all faults as if they are private accesses. Laying
	it out this way reduces churn later in the series when private
	fault detection is introduced

Patch 26 avoids some unnecessary allocation

Patch 27-28 kicks away some training wheels and scans shared pages and
	small VMAs.

Patch 29 introduces private fault detection based on the PID of the faulting
	process and accounts for shared/private accesses differently.

Patch 30 avoids migrating memory immediately after the load balancer moves
	a task to another node in case it's a transient migration.

Patch 31 avoids scanning VMAs that do not migrate-on-fault which addresses
	a serious regression on a database performance test.

Patch 32 pick the least loaded CPU based on a preferred node based on
	a scheduling domain common to both the source and destination
	NUMA node.

Patch 33 retries task migration if an earlier attempt failed

Patch 34 will begin task migration immediately if running on its preferred
	node

Patch 35 will avoid trapping hinting faults for shared read-only library
	pages as these never migrate anyway

Patch 36 avoids handling pmd hinting faults if none of the ptes below it were
	marked pte numa

Patches 37-38 introduce a mechanism for swapping tasks

Patch 39 uses a system-wide search to find tasks that can be swapped
	to improve the overall locality of the system.

Patch 40 notes that the system-wide search may ignore the preferred node and
	will use the preferred node placement if it has spare compute
	capacity.

Patch 41 will perform a global search if a node that should have had capacity
	cannot have a task migrated to it

Patches 42-43 use cpupid to track pages so potential sharing tasks can
	be quickly found

Patch 44 reports the ID of the numa group a task belongs.

Patch 45 copies the cpupid on page migration

Patch 46 avoids grouping based on read-only pages

Patch 47 stops handling pages within a PMD in batch as it distorts fault
	statistics and failed to flush TLBs correctly.

Patch 48 schedules new threads on the same node as the parent.

Patch 49 schedules tasks based on their numa group

Patch 50 cleans up tasks numa_group on exec

Patch 51 avoids parallel updates to group stats

Patch 52 adds some debugging aids

Patches 53-54 separately considers task and group weights when selecting the node to
	schedule a task on

Patch 56 checks if PID truncation may have caused false matches before joining tasks
	to a NUMA grou

Patch 57 uses the false shared detection information for scan rate adaption later

Patch 58 adapts the scan rate based on local/remote faults

Patch 59 removes the period scan rate reset

Patch 60-61 throttles shared page migrations

Patch 62 avoids the use of atomics protects the values with a spinlock

Patch 63 periodically retries migrating a task back to its preferred node

Kernel 3.12-rc3 is the testing baseline.

Mostly flat. Profiles were interesting because they showed heavy contention
on the mm->page_table_lock due to THP faults and migration. It is expected
that Kirill's page table lock split lock work will help here. At the time
of writing that series has been rebased on top for testing.

slightly lower.

The numa01 (adverse workload) is hit quite badly but it often is. The
numa01-threadlocal regression is of greater concern and will be examined
further. It is interesting to note that monitoring the workload affects
the results quite severely. These results are based on no monitoring.

This is looking much better overall although I am concerned about the
increased variability between JVMs.

and system CPU usage is still way down so now we are seeing large
improvements for less work. Previous tests had indicated that period
retrying of task migration was necessary for a good "local percent"
of local/remote faults. It implies that the load balancer and NUMA
scheduling may be making conflicting decisions.

While there is still plenty of future work it looks like this is ready
for wider testing.
