Subject: [PATCH 1/2] NUMA emulation x86_64: numa=fake parameter for custom nodes distance
Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2011 12:55:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1321617308-4998-1-git-send-email-pholasek@redhat.com> (raw)
As default, when numa emulation is turned on, node distance table
uses physical distance, so for 4 nodes emulated on 1 physical table is
node 0 1 2 3
0: 10 10 10 10
1: 10 10 10 10
2: 10 10 10 10
3: 10 10 10 10
This patch adds new [distance] argument to
numa=fake=<number/size of nodes>[,distance]
When distance argument is used, it sets linear distance between nodes
like that:
__distance__
___|___ ____|___ ________ ________
| | | | | | | |
| node1 |---| node 2 |---| node 3 |---| node 4 |
|_______| |________| |________| |________|
| | |
| | |
|____distance * 2________| |
| |
|____________distance * 3______________|
This feature might be useful for testing some numa awareness features in
both user and kernel spaces.
