Subject: [RFC PATCH V1 0/2] sched/numa: Disjoint set vma scan improvements
With the numa scan enhancements [1], only the threads which had previously
accessed vma are allowed to scan.
While this has improved significant system time overhead, there are corner
cases, which genuinely needs some relaxation for e.g., concern raised by
PeterZ where unfairness amongst the threadbelonging to disjoint set of VMSs
can potentially amplify the side effects of vma regions belonging to some of
the tasks being left unscanned.
Currently that is handled by allowing first two scans at mm level
(mm->numa_scan_seq) unconditionally.
One of the test that exercise similar side effect is numa01_THREAD_ALLOC where
allocation happen by main thread and it is divided into memory chunks of 24MB
to be continuously bzeroed.
(this is run default by LKP tests while numa01 is run default in mmtests which
operate on full 3GB region by each thread)
So to address this issue, proposal here is:
1) Have per vma scan counter that gets incremented for every successful scan
(which potentially scans 256MB or sysctl_scan_size)
2) Do unconditional scan for first few times (To be precise, half of the window
calculated for scanning normally otherwise)
3) Do reset of the counter when whole mm is scanned (this needs remembering
mm->numa_scan_sequece) at vma level
With this patch I am seeing good improvement in numa01_THREAD_ALLOC case,
but please note that with [1] there was a drastic decrease in system time when
benchmarks run, this patch adds back some of the system time.
Your comments/Ideas are welcome.

Notes: Implementation considered/tried
1) Limit the disjoint set vma scan to 4 (hardcoded) = 1GB per whole mm scan
2) Current PID reset window = 4 * sysctl_scan_delay is changed to
8 * sysctl_scan_delay (to ensure some random overlapping overtime in scanning)
