As cpus, the realization of x86 NUMA emulation is kept. Maybe each node should has 4 cores is better (not sure, next to do if so). Why do this =========== It seems has following reasons: (1) In x86 host, apply NUMA emulation can fake more nodes environment to test or verify some performance stuff, but arm64 only has one method that modify ACPI table to do this. It's troublesome more or less. (2) Reduce competition for some locks. Here an example we found: will-it-scale/tlb_flush1_processes -t 96 -s 10, it shows obvious hotspot on lruvec->lock when test in single environment. What's more, The performance improved greatly if test in two more nodes system. The data shows below (more is better): --------------------------------------------------------------------- threads/process | 1 | 12 | 24 | 48 | 96 --------------------------------------------------------------------- one node | 14 1122 | 110 5372 | 111 2615 | 79 7084 | 72 4516 --------------------------------------------------------------------- numa=fake=2 | 14 1168 | 144 4848 | 215 9070 | 157 0412 | 142 3968 --------------------------------------------------------------------- | For concurrency 12, no lruvec->lock hotspot. For 24, hotspot | one node has 24% hotspot on lruvec->lock, but | two nodes env hasn't. --------------------------------------------------------------------- As for risks (e.g. numa balance...), they need to be discussed here. Lastly, it seems not a good choice to realize x86 and other genertic archs separately. But it can indeed avoid some architecture related APIs adjustments and alleviate future maintenance. The previous RFC link see [1]. Any advice are welcome, Thanks! Change log ========== RFC v1 -> v1 * add new CONFIG_NUMA_FAKE for genertic archs. * keep x86 implementation, realize numa emulation in driver/base/ for genertic arch, e.g, arm64.
