sched/numa: Stop multiple tasks from moving to the cpu at the same time
Task migration under numa balancing can happen in parallel. More than one task might choose to migrate to the same cpu at the same time. This can result in - During task swap, choosing a task that was not part of the evaluation. - During task swap, task which just got moved into its preferred node, moving to a completely different node. - During task swap, task failing to move to the preferred node, will have to wait an extra interval for the next migrate opportunity. - During task movement, multiple task movements can cause load imbalance. This problem is more likely if there are more cores per node or more nodes in the system. Use a per run-queue variable to check if numa-balance is active on the run-queue. specjbb2005 / bops/JVM / higher bops are better on 2 Socket/2 Node Intel JVMS Prev Current %Change 4 199709 206350 3.32534 1 330830 319963 -3.28477 on 2 Socket/4 Node Power8 (PowerNV) JVMS Prev Current %Change 8 89011.9 89627.8 0.69193 1 218946 211338 -3.47483 on 2 Socket/2 Node Power9 (PowerNV) JVMS Prev Current %Change 4 180473 186539 3.36117 1 212805 220344 3.54268 on 4 Socket/4 Node Power7 JVMS Prev Current %Change 8 56941.8 56836 -0.185804 1 111686 112970 1.14965 dbench / transactions / higher numbers are better on 2 Socket/2 Node Intel count Min Max Avg Variance %Change 5 12029.8 12124.6 12060.9 34.0076 5 13136.1 13170.2 13150.2 14.7482 9.03166 on 2 Socket/4 Node Power8 (PowerNV) count Min Max Avg Variance %Change 5 4968.51 5006.62 4981.31 13.4151 5 4319.79 4998.19 4836.53 261.109 -2.90646 on 2 Socket/2 Node Power9 (PowerNV) count Min Max Avg Variance %Change 5 9342.92 9381.44 9363.92 12.8587 5 9325.56 9402.7 9362.49 25.9638 -0.0152714 on 4 Socket/4 Node Power7 count Min Max Avg Variance %Change 5 143.4 188.892 170.225 16.9929 5 132.581 191.072 170.554 21.6444 0.193274 Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by:Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Reviewed-by:
