mm: numa: group related processes based on VMA flags instead of page table flags
These are three follow-on patches based on the xfsrepair workload Dave Chinner reported was problematic in 4.0-rc1 due to changes in page table management -- https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226. Much of the problem was reduced by commit53da3bc2ba("mm: fix up numa read-only thread grouping logic") and commitba68bc0115("mm: thp: Return the correct value for change_huge_pmd"). It was known that the performance in 3.19 was still better even if is far less safe. This series aims to restore the performance without compromising on safety. For the test of this mail, I'm comparing 3.19 against 4.0-rc4 and the three patches applied on top autonumabench 3.19.0 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 vanilla vanilla vmwrite-v5r8 preserve-v5r8 slowscan-v5r8 Time System-NUMA01 124.00 ( 0.00%) 161.86 (-30.53%) 107.13 ( 13.60%) 103.13 ( 16.83%) 145.01 (-16.94%) Time System-NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 115.54 ( 0.00%) 107.64 ( 6.84%) 131.87 (-14.13%) 83.30 ( 27.90%) 92.35 ( 20.07%) Time System-NUMA02 9.35 ( 0.00%) 10.44 (-11.66%) 8.95 ( 4.28%) 10.72 (-14.65%) 8.16 ( 12.73%) Time System-NUMA02_SMT 3.87 ( 0.00%) 4.63 (-19.64%) 4.57 (-18.09%) 3.99 ( -3.10%) 3.36 ( 13.18%) Time Elapsed-NUMA01 570.06 ( 0.00%) 567.82 ( 0.39%) 515.78 ( 9.52%) 517.26 ( 9.26%) 543.80 ( 4.61%) Time Elapsed-NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 393.69 ( 0.00%) 384.83 ( 2.25%) 384.10 ( 2.44%) 384.31 ( 2.38%) 380.73 ( 3.29%) Time Elapsed-NUMA02 49.09 ( 0.00%) 49.33 ( -0.49%) 48.86 ( 0.47%) 48.78 ( 0.63%) 50.94 ( -3.77%) Time Elapsed-NUMA02_SMT 47.51 ( 0.00%) 47.15 ( 0.76%) 47.98 ( -0.99%) 48.12 ( -1.28%) 49.56 ( -4.31%) 3.19.0 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 vanilla vanillavmwrite-v5r8preserve-v5r8slowscan-v5r8 User 46334.60 46391.94 44383.95 43971.89 44372.12 System 252.84 284.66 252.61 201.24 249.00 Elapsed 1062.14 1050.96 998.68 1000.94 1026.78 Overall the system CPU usage is comparable and the test is naturally a bit variable.

Note that on my machine the overhead was 45% higher on 4.0-rc4 which may be part of what Dave is seeing. Once we preserve the write bit across faults, it's only 2.51% higher on average. With the full series applied, system CPU usage is 24.6% lower on average. Again, the impact of preserving the write bit on minor faults is obvious and the impact of slowing scanning after migration failures is obvious on the PTE updates. Note also that the number of pages migrated is much reduced even though the headline performance is comparable. 3.19.0 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 vanilla vanillavmwrite-v5r8preserve-v5r8slowscan-v5r8 Minor Faults 153466827 254507978 249163829 153501373 105737890 Major Faults 610 702 690 649 724 NUMA base PTE updates 217735049 210756527 217729596 216937111 144344993 NUMA huge PMD updates 129294 85044 106921 127246 79887 NUMA pages migrated 21938995 29705270 28594162 22687324 16258075 3.19.0 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 4.0.0-rc4 vanilla vanillavmwrite-v5r8preserve-v5r8slowscan-v5r8 Mean sdb-avgqusz 13.47 2.54 2.55 2.47 2.49 Mean sdb-avgrqsz 202.32 140.22 139.50 139.02 138.12 Mean sdb-await 25.92 5.09 5.33 5.02 5.22 Mean sdb-r_await 4.71 0.19 0.83 0.51 0.11 Mean sdb-w_await 104.13 5.21 5.38 5.05 5.32 Mean sdb-svctm 0.59 0.13 0.14 0.13 0.14 Mean sdb-rrqm 0.16 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Mean sdb-wrqm 3.59 1799.43 1826.84 1812.21 1785.67 Max sdb-avgqusz 111.06 12.13 14.05 11.66 15.60 Max sdb-avgrqsz 255.60 190.34 190.01 187.33 191.78 Max sdb-await 168.24 39.28 49.22 44.64 65.62 Max sdb-r_await 660.00 52.00 280.00 76.00 12.00 Max sdb-w_await 7804.00 39.28 49.22 44.64 65.62 Max sdb-svctm 4.00 2.82 2.86 1.98 2.84 Max sdb-rrqm 8.30 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Max sdb-wrqm 34.20 5372.80 5278.60 5386.60 5546.15 FWIW, I also checked SPECjbb in different configurations but it's similar observations -- minor faults lower, PTE update activity lower and performance is roughly comparable against 3.19. This patch (of 3): Threads that share writable data within pages are grouped together as related tasks. This decision is based on whether the PTE is marked dirty which is subject to timing races between the PTE scanner update and when the application writes the page. If the page is file-backed, then background flushes and sync also affect placement. This is unpredictable behaviour which is impossible to reason about so this patch makes grouping decisions based on the VMA flags.
