Dave Chinner reported the following on https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226 Across the board the 4.0-rc1 numbers are much slower, and the degradation is far worse when using the large memory footprint configs. Perf points straight at the cause - this is from 4.0-rc1 on the "-o bhash=101073" config: - 56.07% 56.07% [kernel] [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys - default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys - 99.99% physflat_send_IPI_mask - 99.37% native_send_call_func_ipi smp_call_function_many - native_flush_tlb_others - 99.85% flush_tlb_page ptep_clear_flush try_to_unmap_one rmap_walk try_to_unmap migrate_pages migrate_misplaced_page - handle_mm_fault - 99.73% __do_page_fault trace_do_page_fault do_async_page_fault + async_page_fault 0.63% native_send_call_func_single_ipi generic_exec_single smp_call_function_single This was bisected to commit 4d9424669946 ("mm: convert p[te|md]_mknonnuma and remaining page table manipulations") which clears PTEs and PMDs to make them PROT_NONE. This is tidy but tests on some benchmarks indicate that there are many more hinting faults trapped resulting in excessive migration. This is the result for the old autonuma benchmark for example. autonumabench 4.0.0-rc1 4.0.0-rc1 3.19.0 vanilla noclear-v1 vanilla Time User-NUMA01 32883.59 ( 0.00%) 27401.21 ( 16.67%) 25695.96 ( 21.86%) Time User-NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 17453.20 ( 0.00%) 17491.98 ( -0.22%) 17404.36 ( 0.28%) Time User-NUMA02 2063.70 ( 0.00%) 2059.94 ( 0.18%) 2037.65 ( 1.26%) Time User-NUMA02_SMT 983.70 ( 0.00%) 967.95 ( 1.60%) 981.02 ( 0.27%) Time System-NUMA01 602.44 ( 0.00%) 182.16 ( 69.76%) 194.70 ( 67.68%) Time System-NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 78.10 ( 0.00%) 84.84 ( -8.63%) 98.52 (-26.15%) Time System-NUMA02 6.47 ( 0.00%) 9.74 (-50.54%) 9.28 (-43.43%) Time System-NUMA02_SMT 5.06 ( 0.00%) 3.97 ( 21.54%) 3.79 ( 25.10%) Time Elapsed-NUMA01 755.96 ( 0.00%) 602.20 ( 20.34%) 558.84 ( 26.08%) Time Elapsed-NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 382.22 ( 0.00%) 384.98 ( -0.72%) 382.54 ( -0.08%) Time Elapsed-NUMA02 49.38 ( 0.00%) 49.23 ( 0.30%) 49.83 ( -0.91%) Time Elapsed-NUMA02_SMT 47.70 ( 0.00%) 46.82 ( 1.84%) 46.59 ( 2.33%) Time CPU-NUMA01 4429.00 ( 0.00%) 4580.00 ( -3.41%) 4632.00 ( -4.58%) Time CPU-NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 4586.00 ( 0.00%) 4565.00 ( 0.46%) 4575.00 ( 0.24%) Time CPU-NUMA02 4191.00 ( 0.00%) 4203.00 ( -0.29%) 4107.00 ( 2.00%) Time CPU-NUMA02_SMT 2072.00 ( 0.00%) 2075.00 ( -0.14%) 2113.00 ( -1.98%) Note the system CPU usage with the patch applied and how it's similar to 3.19-vanilla.
