Subject: [PATCH 17/52] mm/numa: Add pte updates, hinting and migration stats
From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@...e.de>
It is tricky to quantify the basic cost of automatic NUMA
placement in a meaningful manner. This patch adds some vmstats
that can be used as part of a basic costing model.
u = basic unit = sizeof(void *)
Ca = cost of struct page access = sizeof(struct page) / u
Cpte = Cost PTE access = Ca
Cupdate = Cost PTE update = (2 * Cpte) + (2 * Wlock)
where Cpte is incurred twice for a read and a write and Wlock
is a constant representing the cost of taking or releasing a
lock
Cnumahint = Cost of a minor page fault = some high constant e.g.
1000 Cpagerw = Cost to read or write a full page = Ca +
PAGE_SIZE/u Ci = Cost of page isolation = Ca + Wi
where Wi is a constant that should reflect the approximate cost
of the locking operation
Cpagecopy = Cpagerw + (Cpagerw * Wnuma) + Ci + (Ci * Wnuma)
where Wnuma is the approximate NUMA factor. 1 is local. 1.2
would imply that remote accesses are 20% more expensive
Balancing cost = Cpte * numa_pte_updates +
Cnumahint * numa_hint_faults +
Ci * numa_pages_migrated +
Cpagecopy * numa_pages_migrated
Note that numa_pages_migrated is used as a measure of how many
pages were isolated even though it would miss pages that failed
to migrate. A vmstat counter could have been added for it but
the isolation cost is pretty marginal in comparison to the
overall cost so it seemed overkill.
The ideal way to measure automatic placement benefit would be to
count the number of remote accesses versus local accesses and do
something like
benefit = (remote_accesses_before - remove_access_after) * Wnuma
but the information is not readily available. As a workload
converges, the expection would be that the number of remote numa
hints would reduce to 0.
convergence = numa_hint_faults_local / numa_hint_faults
where this is measured for the last N number of
numa hints recorded. When the workload is fully
converged the value is 1.
This can measure if the placement policy is converging and how
fast it is doing it.
