[patch v2] mm, tmp: only collapse hugepages to nodes with affinity for zone_reclaim_mode

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

 



Commit 9f1b868a13ac ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target 
node") improved the previous khugepaged logic which allocated a 
transparent hugepages from the node of the first page being collapsed.

However, it is still possible to collapse pages to remote memory which may 
suffer from additional access latency.  With the current policy, it is 
possible that 255 pages (with PAGE_SHIFT == 12) will be collapsed remotely 
if the majority are allocated from that node.

When zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, it means the VM should make every attempt
to allocate locally to prevent NUMA performance degradation.  In this case,
we do not want to collapse hugepages to remote nodes that would suffer from
increased access latency.  Thus, when zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, only
allow collapsing to nodes with RECLAIM_DISTANCE or less.

There is no functional change for systems that disable zone_reclaim_mode.
