Subject: [PATCH 07/13] sched: Split accounting of NUMA hinting faults that pass two-stage filter
Ideally it would be possible to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults
that are private to a task and those that are shared. This would require
that the last task that accessed a page for a hinting fault would be
recorded which would increase the size of struct page. Instead this patch
approximates private pages by assuming that faults that pass the two-stage
filter are private pages and all others are shared. The preferred NUMA
node is then selected based on where the maximum number of approximately
private faults were measured. Shared faults are not taken into
consideration for a few reasons.
First, if there are many tasks sharing the page then they'll all move
towards the same node. The node will be compute overloaded and then
scheduled away later only to bounce back again. Alternatively the shared
tasks would just bounce around nodes because the fault information is
effectively noise. Either way accounting for shared faults the same as
private faults may result in lower performance overall.
The second reason is based on a hypothetical workload that has a small
number of very important, heavily accessed private pages but a large shared
array. The shared array would dominate the number of faults and be selected
as a preferred node even though it's the wrong decision.
The third reason is that multiple threads in a process will race each
other to fault the shared page making the fault information unreliable.
