Hi David,
Hi!
I’m just checking in on this patch to see if you’ve had a chance to review
the benchmark results I shared last week.
Not really, still traveling and this is veeeery low priority :)
To recap, the caching reduced the
execution time for the NUMA_NO_NODE case from ~2402 ns to ~453 ns in my test
environment.
Yeah, but these micro-benchmarks don't really matter ... at all. What
would be interesting is what happens when you hotplug a lot of memory to
a system with a lot of nodes. I suspect it won't really be a problem.
Please let me know if the performance gain justifies the change in your view,or
if you would prefer I send a v2 that simply updates the TODO comment as you suggested.
I'd prefer if things that are not a real problem would not consume my
bandwidth while traveling ;)
Anyhow, there was a kernel bot complaint that you are using "struct
auto_movable_stats" before the compiler knows about it (and its size).
When you resend, make sure to better describe the "why" we are doing it.
It cleans up the code a little, so that could be used as an argument.
