Subject: [Patch v4 12/18] KVM: x86/mmu: Allocate NUMA aware page tables on TDP
huge page splits
When splitting a huge page, try to allocate new lower level page tables
on the same NUMA node of the huge page. Only do NUMA aware page splits
if KVM has enabled NUMA aware page table for the VM else fall back to
the default method of using current thread mempolicy.
When huge pages are split for dirty log, new page tables are created
based on the current thread mempolicy, which by default will be the NUMA
node of the pCPU executing the thread. If thread enabling dirty log is
on a remote NUMA node than the huge page NUMA node then it will
create all page tables mapping 4KiB pages of that huge page on the
remote node. This reduces performances of the vCPUs which are NUMA
bound and are only accessing local NUMA memory as they will access
remote NUMA node page tables to access their local NUMA node memory.
Tested this feature on synthetic read-write-heavy workload in a 416 vCPU
VM on a 8 NUMA node host. This workload creates multiple threads,
partitions data in equal sizes and assigns them to each thread. Each
thread iterates over its own data in strides, reads and writes value in
its partitions. While executing, this workload continuously outputs
combined rates at which it is performing operations.
When dirty log is enabled in WRPROT mode, workload's performance:
- Without NUMA aware page table drops by ~75%
- With NUMA aware page table drops by ~20%
Raw data from one example run:
1. Without NUMA aware page table
Before dirty log: ~2750000 accesses/sec
After dirty log: ~700000 accesses/sec
2. With NUMA aware page table
Before dirty log: ~2750000 accesses/sec
After dirty log: ~2250000 accesses/sec
NUMA aware page table improved performance by more than 200%
