[RFC PATCH v2 3/3] mm/mempolicy: modify interleave mempolicy to use memtier weights

From: Gregory Price
Date: Wed Oct 11 2023 - 16:44:19 EST


The memory-tier subsystem implements interleave weighting
for tiers for the purpose of bandwidth optimization. Each
tier may contain multiple numa nodes, and each tier may have
different weights in relation to each compute node ("from node").

The mempolicy MPOL_INTERLEAVE utilizes the memory-tier subsystem
functions to implement weighted tiering. By default, since all
tiers default to a weight of 1, the original interleave behavior
is retained.

The mempolicy nodemask does not have to be inclusive of all nodes
in each respective memory tier, though this may lead to a more
complicated calculation in terms of how memory is distributed.

Examples

Weight settings:
echo 0:4 > memory_tier4/interleave_weight
echo 1:3 > memory_tier4/interleave_weight
echo 0:2 > memory_tier22/interleave_weight
echo 1:1 > memory_tier22/interleave_weight

Results:
Tier 1: Nodes(0,1), Weights(4,3) <- from nodes(0,1) respectively
Tier 2: Nodes(2,3), Weights(2,1) <- from nodes(0,1) respectively

Task A:
cpunode: 0
nodemask: [0,1]
weights: [4]
allocation result: [0,0,1,1, repeat]
Notice how weight is split between the nodes

Task B:
cpunode: 0
nodemask: [0,2]
weights: [4,2]
allocation result: [0,0,0,0,2,2, repeat]
Notice how weights are not split, each node
has the entire weight of the respective tier applied

Task C:
cpunode: 1
nodemask: [1,3]
weights: [3,1]
allocation result: [1,1,1,3, repeat]
Notice the weights differ based on cpunode

Task D:
cpunode: 0
nodemask: [0,1,2]
weights: [4,2]
allocation result: [0,0,1,1,2,2]
Notice how tier1 splits the weight between nodes 0 and 1
but tier 2 has the entire weight applied to node 2

Task E:
cpunode: 1
nodemask: [0,1]
weights: [3]
allocation result: [0,0,1,1]
Notice how the weight is aligned up to an effective 4, because
weights are aligned to the number of nodes in the tier.
