![]() Automatic NUMA Balancing uses a multi-stage pass to decide whether a page should migrate to a local node. This filter avoids excessive ping-ponging if a page is shared or used by threads that migrate cross-node frequently. Threads inherit both page tables and the preferred node ID from the parent. This means that threads can trigger hinting faults earlier than a new task which delays scanning for a number of seconds. As it can be load balanced very early in its lifetime there can be an unnecessary delay before it starts migrating thread-local data. This patch migrates private pages faster early in the lifetime of a thread using the sequence counter as an identifier of new tasks. With this patch applied, STREAM performance is the same as 4.17 even though processes are not spread cross-node prematurely. Other workloads showed a mix of minor gains and losses. This is somewhat expected most workloads are not very sensitive to the starting conditions of a process. 4.19.0-rc5 4.19.0-rc5 4.17.0 numab-v1r1 fastmigrate-v1r1 vanilla MB/sec copy 43298.52 ( 0.00%) 47335.46 ( 9.32%) 47219.24 ( 9.06%) MB/sec scale 30115.06 ( 0.00%) 32568.12 ( 8.15%) 32527.56 ( 8.01%) MB/sec add 32825.12 ( 0.00%) 36078.94 ( 9.91%) 35928.02 ( 9.45%) MB/sec triad 32549.52 ( 0.00%) 35935.94 ( 10.40%) 35969.88 ( 10.51%) Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Jirka Hladky <jhladky@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Linux-MM <linux-mm@kvack.org> Cc: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181001100525.29789-3-mgorman@techsingularity.net Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> |
