Subject: [RFC PATCH V3 1/1] sched/numa: Fix disjoint set vma scan regression
With the numa scan enhancements [1], only the threads which had previously
accessed vma are allowed to scan.
While this had improved significant system time overhead, there were corner
cases, which genuinely need some relaxation. For e.g.,
1) Concern raised by PeterZ, where if there are N partition sets of vmas
belonging to tasks, then unfairness in allowing these threads to scan could
potentially amplify the side effect of some of the vmas being left
unscanned.
2) Below reports of LKP numa01 benchmark regression.
Currently this is handled by allowing first two scanning unconditional
as indicated by mm->numa_scan_seq. This is imprecise since for some
benchmark vma scanning might itself start at numa_scan_seq > 2.
Solution:
Allow unconditional scanning of vmas of tasks depending on vma size. This
is achieved by maintaining a per vma scan counter, where
f(allowed_to_scan) = f(scan_counter < vma_size / scan_size)
Result:
numa01_THREAD_ALLOC result on 6.4.0-rc2 (that has numascan enhancement)

Summary: Regression in base is recovered by allowing scanning as required.
