So any particular CPU has some\nmemory in each zone structure which belongs to itself. Even if that CPU is\nnot local to that zone.\n\nSo the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest\nto the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target\nzone. This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be\ndone with information available locally.\n\nWe play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional\npointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.\n\nAIM7 benchmark on a 32 CPU SGI Altix\n\nw/o patches:\nTasks jobs/min jti jobs/min/task real cpu\n 1 484.68 100 484.6769 12.01 1.97 Fri Mar 25 11:01:42 2005\n 100 27140.46 89 271.4046 21.44 148.71 Fri Mar 25 11:02:04 2005\n 200 30792.02 82 153.9601 37.80 296.72 Fri Mar 25 11:02:42 2005\n 300 32209.27 81 107.3642 54.21 451.34 Fri Mar 25 11:03:37 2005\n 400 34962.83 78 87.4071 66.59 588.97 Fri Mar 25 11:04:44 2005\n 500 31676.92 75 63.3538 91.87 742.71 Fri Mar 25 11:06:16 2005\n 600 36032.69 73 60.0545 96.91 885.44 Fri Mar 25 11:07:54 2005\n 700 35540.43 77 50.7720 114.63 1024.28 Fri Mar 25 11:09:49 2005\n 800 33906.70 74 42.3834 137.32 1181.65 Fri Mar 25 11:12:06 2005\n 900 34120.67 73 37.9119 153.51 1325.26 Fri Mar 25 11:14:41 2005\n 1000 34802.37 74 34.8024 167.23 1465.26 Fri Mar 25 11:17:28 2005\n\nwith slab API changes and pageset patch:\n\nTasks jobs/min jti jobs/min/task real cpu\n 1 485.00 100 485.0000 12.00 1.96 Fri Mar 25 11:46:18 2005\n 100 28000.96 89 280.0096 20.79 150.45 Fri Mar 25 11:46:39 2005\n 200 32285.80 79 161.4290 36.05 293.37 Fri Mar 25 11:47:16 2005\n 300 40424.15 84 134.7472 43.19 438.42 Fri Mar 25 11:47:59 2005\n 400 39155.01 79 97.8875 59.46 590.05 Fri Mar 25 11:48:59 2005\n 500 37881.25 82 75.7625 76.82 730.19 Fri Mar 25 11:50:16 2005\n 600 39083.14 78 65.1386 89.35 872.79 Fri Mar 25 11:51:46 2005\n 700 38627.83 77 55.1826 105.47 1022.46 Fri Mar 25 11:53:32 2005\n 800 39631.94 78 49.5399 117.48 1169.94 Fri Mar 25 11:55:30 2005\n 900 36903.70 79 41.0041 141.94 1310.78 Fri Mar 25 11:57:53 2005\n 1000 36201.23 77 36.2012 160.77 1458.31 Fri Mar 25 12:00:34 2005\n\nSigned-off-by: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Shobhit Dayal \u003cshobhit@calsoftinc.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Shai Fultheim \u003cShai@Scalex86.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "1e7e5a9048b30c57ba1ddaa6cdf59b21b65cde99", "tree": "26eb9c483718ca1a0fad23597c0dfd3a69e9f080", "parents": [ "0c35bbadc59f5ed105c34471143eceb4c0dd9c95" ], "author": { "name": "Martin Hicks", "email": "mort@sgi.com", "time": "Tue Jun 21 17:14:43 2005 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org", "time": "Tue Jun 21 18:46:14 2005 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] VM: rate limit early reclaim\n\nWhen early zone reclaim is turned on the LRU is scanned more frequently when a\nzone is low on memory.

The goal of this\npatch is to reclaim some easily-freed pages from a zone before falling back\nonto another zone.\n\nOne of the major uses of this is NUMA machines. With the default allocator\nbehavior the allocator would look for memory in another zone, which might be\noff-node, before trying to reclaim from the current zone.\n\nThis adds a zone tuneable to enable early zone reclaim. It is selected on a\nper-zone basis and is turned on/off via syscall.\n\nAdding some extra throttling on the reclaim was also required (patch\n4/4). Without the machine would grind to a crawl when doing a \"make -j\"\nkernel build. Even with this patch the System Time is higher on\naverage, but it seems tolerable. Here are some numbers for kernbench\nruns on a 2-node, 4cpu, 8Gig RAM Altix in the \"make -j\" run:\n\n\t\t\twall user sys %cpu ctx sw. sleeps\n\t\t\t---- ---- --- ---- ------ ------\nNo patch\t\t1009 1384 847 258 298170 504402\nw/patch, no reclaim 880 1376 667 288 254064 396745\nw/patch \u0026 reclaim 1079 1385 926 252 291625 548873\n\nThese numbers are the average of 2 runs of 3 \"make -j\" runs done right\nafter system boot. Run-to-run variability for \"make -j\" is huge, so\nthese numbers aren\u0027t terribly useful except to seee that with reclaim\nthe benchmark still finishes in a reasonable amount of time.\n\nI also looked at the NUMA hit/miss stats for the \"make -j\" runs and the\nreclaim doesn\u0027t make any difference when the machine is thrashing away.\n\nDoing a \"make -j8\" on a single node that is filled with page cache pages\ntakes 700 seconds with reclaim turned on and 735 seconds without reclaim\n(due to remote memory accesses).\n\nThe simple zone_reclaim syscall program is at\nhttp://www.bork.org/~mort/sgi/zone_reclaim.c\n\nSigned-off-by: Martin Hicks \u003cmort@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "39c715b71740c4a78ba4769fb54826929bac03cb", "tree": "94dd679dfc8e6c2db65971739aa8c8c6206f8174", "parents": [ "84929801e14d968caeb84795bfbb88f04283fbd9" ], "author": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Tue Jun 21 17:14:34 2005 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org", "time": "Tue Jun 21 18:46:13 2005 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] smp_processor_id() cleanup\n\nThis patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that\nArjan van de Ven and I came up with.\n\nThe previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API\nspaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the\nusage side.\n\nSome of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the\ncomplexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined\n__smp_processor_id.\n\nIn the new code, there are two externally visible symbols:\n\n - smp_processor_id(): debug variant.\n\n - raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing\n uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined\n by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h.\n\nThere is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT:\n\n - debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to\n smp_processor_id().\n\nAlso, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new\nlib/smp_processor_id.c file. All related comments got updated and/or\nclarified.\n\nI have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86:\n\n {SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT}\n\nI have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT.
