[PATCH 48/52] sched: Refine the 'shared tasks' memory interleaving logic
From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Sun Dec 02 2012 - 13:46:17 EST
Change the adaptive memory policy code to take a majority of buddies
on a node into account. Previously, since this commit:
"sched: Track shared task's node groups and interleave their memory allocations"
We'd include any node that has run a buddy in the past, which was too
aggressive and spread the allocations of 'mostly converged' workloads
too much, and prevented their further convergence.
Add a few other variants for testing:
NUMA_POLICY_ADAPTIVE: use memory on every node that runs a buddy of this task
NUMA_POLICY_SYSWIDE: use a simple, static, system-wide mask
NUMA_POLICY_MAXNODE: use memory on this task's 'maximum node'
NUMA_POLICY_MAXBUDDIES: use memory on the node with the most buddies
NUMA_POLICY_MANYBUDDIES: this is the default, a quorum of buddies
determines the allocation mask
The 'many buddies' quorum logic appears to work best in practice,
but the 'maxnode' and 'syswide' ones are good, robust policies too.
[ Also extend the sched_feat() code from 32 to 64 features because
we are hitting that limit on 32-bit CPUs, and address a warning
on !CONFIG_BUG kernels. ]
