[RFC PATCH v2 3/4] mm/mempolicy: implement a preferred-interleave
From: Gregory Price
Date: Mon Oct 02 2023 - 20:22:24 EST
The preferred-interleave mempolicy implements single-weight
interleave mechanism where the preferred node is the local node.
If the local node is not set in nodemask, the first node in the
node mask is the preferred node.
When set, N (weight) pages will be allocated on the preferred node
beforce an interleave pass occurs.
For example:
nodes=0,1,2
interval=3
cpunode=0
Over 10 consecutive allocations, the following nodes will be selected:
[0,0,0,1,2,0,0,0,1,2]
In this example, there is a 60%/20%/20% distribution of memory.
Using this mechanism, it becomes possible to define an approximate
distribution percentage of memory across a set of nodes:
local_node% : interval/((nr_nodes-1)+interval-1)
other_node% : (1-local_node%)/(nr_nodes-1)
The behavior can be preferred over a fully-weighted interleave (where
each node has a separate weight) when migrations or multiple sockets
may be in use. If a task migrates, the weight applies to the new
local node without a need for the task to "rebalance" its weights.
Similarly, if nodes are removed from the nodemask, no weights need
to be recalculated. The exception to this is when the local node is
removed from the nodemask, which is a rare situation.
Similarly, consider a task executing on a 2-socket system which creates
a new thread. If the first thread is scheduled to execute on socket 0
and the second thread is scheduled to execute on socket 1, weightings
set by thread 1 (which are inherited by thread 2) would very likely
be a poor interleave strategy for the new thread.
In this scheme, thread 2 would inherit the same weight, but it would
apply to the local node of thread 2, leading to more predictable
behavior for new allocations.
