Subject: [PATCH v2] Fix fake numa on ppc
Hi,
Below is a patch to fix a couple of issues with fake numa node creation
on ppc:
1) Presently, fake nodes could be created such that real numa node
boundaries are not respected. So a node could have lmbs that belong to
different real nodes.
2) The cpu association is broken. On a JS22 blade for example, which is
a 2-node numa machine, I get the following:
# cat /proc/cmdline
root=/dev/sda6 numa=fake=2G,4G,,6G,8G,10G,12G,14G,16G
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpulist
0-3
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node1/cpulist
4-7
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node4/cpulist
#
So, though the cpus 4-7 should have been associated with node4, they
still belong to node1. The patch works by recording a real numa node
boundary and incrementing the fake node count. At the same time, a
mapping is stored from the real numa node to the first fake node that
gets created on it.
Tested the patch with the following commandlines:
numa=fake=2G,4G,6G,8G,10G,12G,14G,16G
numa=fake=3G,6G,10G,16G
numa=fake=4G
numa=fake=
For testing if the fake nodes respect the real node boundaries, I added
some debug printks in the node creation path. Without the patch, for the
commandline numa=fake=2G,4G,6G,8G,10G,12G,14G,16G, this is what I got:
fake id: 1 nid: 0
fake id: 1 nid: 0
...
fake id: 2 nid: 0
fake id: 2 nid: 0
...
fake id: 2 nid: 0
created new fake_node with id 3
fake id: 3 nid: 0
fake id: 3 nid: 0
...
fake id: 3 nid: 0
fake id: 3 nid: 0
fake id: 3 nid: 1
fake id: 3 nid: 1
...
created new fake_node with id 4
fake id: 4 nid: 1
fake id: 4 nid: 1
...
and so on. So, fake node 3 encompasses real node 0 & 1. Also,
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node3/meminfo
Node 0 MemTotal: 2097152 kB
...
# # cat /sys/devices/system/node/node4/meminfo
Node 0 MemTotal: 2097152 kB
...
With the patch, I get:
fake id: 1 nid: 0
fake id: 1 nid: 0
...
fake id: 2 nid: 0
fake id: 2 nid: 0
...
fake id: 2 nid: 0
created new fake_node with id 3
fake id: 3 nid: 0
fake id: 3 nid: 0
...
fake id: 3 nid: 0
fake id: 3 nid: 0
created new fake_node with id 4
fake id: 4 nid: 1
fake id: 4 nid: 1
...
and so on. With the patch, the fake node sizes are slightly different
from that specified by the user.
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node3/meminfo
Node 3 MemTotal: 1638400 kB
...
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node4/meminfo
Node 4 MemTotal: 458752 kB
...
CPU association was tested as mentioned in the previous mail:
Without the patch,
# cat /proc/cmdline
root=/dev/sda6 numa=fake=2G,4G,,6G,8G,10G,12G,14G,16G
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpulist
0-3
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node1/cpulist
4-7
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node4/cpulist
#
With the patch,
# cat /proc/cmdline
root=/dev/sda6 numa=fake=2G,4G,,6G,8G,10G,12G,14G,16G
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpulist
0-3
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node1/cpulist
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node4/cpulist
4-7
