Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 3/4] sched/fair: Calculate the scan depth for idle
balance based on system utilization
Hello Chenyu,
Thank you for sharing this extended version. Sharing the results from
testing below.
tl;dr
- tbench, netperf and unixbench-spawn see an improvement with ILB_UTIL.
- schbench (old) sees a regression in tail latency once system is heavily
loaded. DeathStarBench and SPECjbb too see a small drop under those
conditions.
- Rest of the benchmark results do not vary much.

o System Details
Dual Socket 3rd Generation EPYC System (2 x 64C/128T)
o NPS Modes
NPS Modes are used to logically divide single socket into
multiple NUMA region.
Following is the NUMA configuration for each NPS mode on the system:
NPS1: Each socket is a NUMA node.
Total 2 NUMA nodes in the dual socket machine.
Node 0: 0-63, 128-191
Node 1: 64-127, 192-255
NPS2: Each socket is further logically divided into 2 NUMA regions.
Total 4 NUMA nodes exist over 2 socket.
Node 0: 0-31, 128-159
Node 1: 32-63, 160-191
Node 2: 64-95, 192-223
Node 3: 96-127, 223-255
NPS4: Each socket is logically divided into 4 NUMA regions.
Total 8 NUMA nodes exist over 2 socket.
Node 0: 0-15, 128-143
Node 1: 16-31, 144-159
Node 2: 32-47, 160-175
Node 3: 48-63, 176-191
Node 4: 64-79, 192-207
Node 5: 80-95, 208-223
Node 6: 96-111, 223-231
Node 7: 112-127, 232-255

I have a couple of theories:
o Either new_idle_balance is failing to find an overloaded busy rq as a
result of the limit.
o Or, there is a chain reaction where pulling from a loaded rq which is not
the most loaded, will lead to more new_idle_balancing attempts which is
degrading performance.
I'll go back and get some data to narrow down the cause. Meanwhile if
there is any specific benchmark you would like me to run on the test
system, please do let me know.
