From 8479a42c61f90a98e662ab837eb6e491a091b246 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Holasek Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 11:34:01 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] KSM: numa awareness sysfs knob Introduces new sysfs boolean knob /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes which control merging pages across different numa nodes. When it is set to zero only pages from the same node are merged, otherwise pages from all nodes can be merged together (default behavior). Typical use-case could be a lot of KVM guests on NUMA machine and cpus from more distant nodes would have significant increase of access latency to the merged ksm page. Sysfs knob was choosen for higher variability when some users still prefers higher amount of saved physical memory regardless of access latency. Every numa node has its own stable & unstable trees because of faster searching and inserting. Changing of merge_nodes value is possible only when there are not any ksm shared pages in system. I've tested this patch on numa machines with 2, 4 and 8 nodes and measured speed of memory access inside of KVM guests with memory pinned to one of nodes with this benchmark: http://pholasek.fedorapeople.org/alloc_pg.c Population standard deviations of access times in percentage of average were following: merge_nodes=1 2 nodes 1.4% 4 nodes 1.6% 8 nodes 1.7% merge_nodes=0 2 nodes 1% 4 nodes 0.32% 8 nodes 0.018% RFC: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/30/91 v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/23/46 v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/29/105 v3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/14/550 Signed-off-by: Petr Holasek Cc: Hugh Dickins Cc: Andrea Arcangeli Cc: Chris Wright Cc: Izik Eidus Cc: Rik van Riel Cc: David Rientjes Cc: Anton Arapov Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton --- Documentation/vm/ksm.txt | 7 ++ mm/ksm.c | 135 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 2 files changed, 122 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/vm/ksm.txt b/Documentation/vm/ksm.txt index b392e496f816..100d58dd6f36 100644 --- a/Documentation/vm/ksm.txt +++ b/Documentation/vm/ksm.txt @@ -58,6 +58,13 @@ sleep_millisecs - how many milliseconds ksmd should sleep before next scan e.g. "echo 20 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs" Default: 20 (chosen for demonstration purposes) +merge_nodes - specifies if pages from different numa nodes can be merged. + When set to 0, ksm merges only pages which physically + reside in the memory area of same NUMA node.
