In multi-processor and NUMA system, I/O driver will find cpu cores that
which shall be bound IRQ. When cpu cores in the local numa have been
used, it is better to find the node closest to the local numa node for
performance, instead of choosing any online cpu immediately.
On Huawei Kunpeng 920 server, there are 4 NUMA node(0 - 3) in the 2-cpu
system(0 - 1). The topology of this server is followed:
available: 4 nodes (0-3)
node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
node 0 size: 63379 MB
node 0 free: 61899 MB
node 1 cpus: 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47
node 1 size: 64509 MB
node 1 free: 63942 MB
node 2 cpus: 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71
node 2 size: 64509 MB
node 2 free: 63056 MB
node 3 cpus: 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95
node 3 size: 63997 MB
node 3 free: 63420 MB
node distances:
node 0 1 2 3
0: 10 16 32 33
1: 16 10 25 32
2: 32 25 10 16
3: 33 32 16 10
We perform PS (parameter server) business test, the behavior of the
service is that the client initiates a request through the network card,
the server responds to the request after calculation. When two PS
processes run on node2 and node3 separately and the network card is
located on 'node2' which is in cpu1, the performance of node2 (26W QPS)
and node3 (22W QPS) is different.
It is better that the NIC queues are bound to the cpu1 cores in turn,
then XPS will also be properly initialized, while cpumask_local_spread
only considers the local node. When the number of NIC queues exceeds the
number of cores in the local node, it returns to the online core directly.
So when PS runs on node3 sending a calculated request, the performance is
not as good as the node2.
The IRQ from 369-392 will be bound from NUMA node0 to NUMA node3 with this
patch, before the patch:
Euler:/sys/bus/pci # cat /proc/irq/369/smp_affinity_list
0
Euler:/sys/bus/pci # cat /proc/irq/370/smp_affinity_list
1
...
Euler:/sys/bus/pci # cat /proc/irq/391/smp_affinity_list
22
Euler:/sys/bus/pci # cat /proc/irq/392/smp_affinity_list
23
After the patch:
Euler:/sys/bus/pci # cat /proc/irq/369/smp_affinity_list
72
Euler:/sys/bus/pci # cat /proc/irq/370/smp_affinity_list
73
...
Euler:/sys/bus/pci # cat /proc/irq/391/smp_affinity_list
94
Euler:/sys/bus/pci # cat /proc/irq/392/smp_affinity_list
95
So the performance of the node3 is the same as node2 that is 26W QPS when
the network card is still in 'node2' with the patch.
It is considered that the NIC and other I/O devices shall initialize the
interrupt binding, if the cores of the local node are used up, it is
reasonable to return the node closest to it. Let's optimize it and find
the nearest node through NUMA distance for the non-local NUMA nodes.

ChangeLog from v3:
1. Make spread_lock local to cpumask_local_spread();
2. Add more descriptions on the affinities change in log;
ChangeLog from v2:
1. Change the variables as static and use spinlock to protect;
2. Give more explantation on test and performance;
