Subject: [PATCH] sched,numa: update migrate_improves/degrades_locality
Date: Thu, 15 May 2014 13:03:06 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140515130306.61aae7db@cuia.bos.redhat.com> (raw)
Update the migrate_improves/degrades_locality functions with
knowledge of pseudo-interleaving.
Do not consider moving tasks around within the set of group's active
nodes as improving or degrading locality. Instead, leave the load
balancer free to balance the load between a numa_group's active nodes.
Also, switch from the group/task_weight functions to the group/task_fault
functions. The "weight" functions involve a division, but both calls use
the same divisor, so there's no point in doing that from these functions.
On a 4 node (x10 core) system, performance of SPECjbb2005 seems
unaffected, though the number of migrations with 2 8-warehouse wide
instances seems to have almost halved, due to the scheduler running
each instance on a single node.
