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.
