Subject: [PATCH 09/10] workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues
Currently, an unbound workqueue has single current, or first, pwq
(pool_workqueue) to which all new work items are queued. This often
isn't optimal on NUMA machines as workers may jump around across node
boundaries and work items get assigned to workers without any regard
to NUMA affinity.
This patch implements NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues. Instead
of mapping all entries of numa_pwq_tbl[] to the same pwq,
apply_workqueue_attrs() now creates a separate pwq covering the
intersecting CPUs for each NUMA node which has possible CPUs in
@attrs->cpumask. Nodes which don't have intersecting possible CPUs
are mapped to pwqs covering whole @attrs->cpumask.
This ensures that all work items issued on a NUMA node is executed on
the same node as long as the workqueue allows execution on the CPUs of
the node.
As this maps a workqueue to multiple pwqs and max_active is per-pwq,
this change the behavior of max_active. The limit is now per NUMA
node instead of global. While this is an actual change, max_active is
already per-cpu for per-cpu workqueues and primarily used as safety
mechanism rather than for active concurrency control. Concurrency is
usually limited from workqueue users by the number of concurrently
active work items and this change shouldn't matter much.
