Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 7/7] mm: parallelize deferred struct page initialization within each node
Deferred struct page initialization currently uses one thread per node
(pgdatinit threads), but this is a bottleneck during boot on big
machines, so use ktask within each pgdatinit thread to parallelize the
struct page initialization on each node, allowing the system to take
better advantage of its memory bandwidth.
Because the system is not fully up yet and most CPUs are idle, use more
than the default maximum number of ktask threads.
Machine: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v4 @ 2.20GHz, 88 CPUs, 503G memory,
2 sockets
Test: Boot the machine with deferred struct page init three times
kernel speedup max time per stdev
node (ms)
baseline (4.15-rc2) 5860 8.6
ktask 9.56x 613 12.4
