Subject: [PATCH V3 0/6] sched: Extend sched_mc/smt_power_savings framework
Hi,
This is the version 3 of the patch series that extends the existing
sched_smt_/mc_power_savings framework to work on platforms
that have on-chip memory controllers making each of the cpu-package
a 'node'. I have incorporated the review comments from my previous posting in
this series.
I am also working on reviving the find_busiest_group() cleanup that was
proposed by vaidy earlier. But since it involves quite a bit of code movement,
it requires a wider review. Hence I will post it as a seperate thread.
Changes from V2: (Found here: --> http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/3/109)
- Patches have been split up in an incremental manner for easy review.
- Fixed comments for some variables.
- Renamed some variables to better reflect their usage.
Changes from V1: (Found here: --> http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/16/221)
- Added comments to explain power-saving part in find_busiest_group()
- Added comments for the different sched_domain levels.
Background
------------------------------------------------------------------
On machines with on-chip memory controller, each physical CPU
package forms a NUMA node and the CPU level sched_domain will have
only one group. This prevents any form of power saving balance across
these nodes. Enabling the sched_mc_power_savings tunable to work as
designed on these new single CPU NUMA node machines will help task
consolidation and save power as we did in other multi core multi
socket platforms.
Consolidation across NODES have implications of cross-node memory
access and other NUMA locality issues. Even under such constraints
there could be scope for power savings vs performance tradeoffs and
hence making the sched_mc_powersavings work as expected on these
platform is justified.
sched_mc/smt_power_savings is still a tunable and power savings benefits
and performance would vary depending on the workload and the system
topology and hardware features.
The patch series has been tested on a 2-Socket Quad-core Dual threaded
box with kernbench as the workload, varying the number of threads.
