Subject: [PATCH v2 00/11] mempolicy2, mbind2, and weighted interleave
v2:
changes / adds:
- flattened weight matrix to an array at requested of Ying Huang
- Updated ABI docs per Davidlohr Bueso request
- change uapi structure to use aligned/fixed-length members as
Suggested-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>
- Implemented weight fetch logic in get_mempolicy2
- mbind2 was changed to take (iovec,len) as function arguments
rather than add them to the uapi structure, since they describe
where to apply the mempolicy - as opposed to being part of it.

- fixed bug in mbind2 where MPOL_F_GWEIGHTS was not set when il_weights
was omitted after local weights were added as an option
- fixed bug in interleave logic where an OOB access was made if
next_node_in returned MAX_NUMNODES
- fixed bug in bulk weighted interleave allocator where over-allocation
could occur.

=====================================================================
This patch set extends the mempolicy interface to enable new
mempolicies which may require extended data to operate. One
such policy is included with this set as an example.
There are 3 major "phases" in the patch set:
1) Implement a "global weight" mechanism via sysfs, which allows
set_mempolicy to implement MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE utilizing
weights set by the administrator (or system daemon).
2) A refactor of the mempolicy creation mechanism to accept an
extensible argument structure `struct mempolicy_args` to promote
code re-use between the original mempolicy/mbind interfaces and
the new extended mempolicy/mbind interfaces.
3) Implementation of set_mempolicy2, get_mempolicy2, and mbind2,
along with the addition of task-local weights so that per-task
weights can be registered for MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE.
=====================================================================
(Patch 1) : sysfs addition - /sys/kernel/mm/mempolicy/
This feature provides a way to set interleave weight information under
sysfs at /sys/kernel/mm/mempolicy/weighted_interleave/nodeN/nodeM/weight
The sysfs structure is designed as follows.
$ tree /sys/kernel/mm/mempolicy/
/sys/kernel/mm/mempolicy/
├── possible_nodes
└── weighted_interleave
├── nodeN
│ └── weight
└── nodeN+X
└── weight
'mempolicy' is added to '/sys/kernel/mm/' as a control group for
the mempolicy subsystem.
'possible_nodes' is added to 'mm/mempolicy' to help describe the
expected structures under mempolicy directorys. For example,
possible_nodes describes what nodeN directories wille exist under
the weighted_interleave directory.
Internally, weights are represented as an array of unsigned char
static unsigned char iw_table[MAX_NUMNODES];
char was chosen as most reasonable distributions can be represented
as factors <100, and to minimize memory usage (1KB)
We present possible nodes, instead of online nodes, to simplify the
management interface, considering that a) the table is of size
MAX_NUMNODES anyway to simplify fetching of weights (no need to track
sizes, and MAX_NUMNODES is typically at most 1kb), and b) it simplifies
management of hotplug events, allowing for weights to be set prior to
a node coming online, which may be beneficial for immediate use.
the 'weight' of a node (an unsigned char of value 1-255) is the number
of pages that are allocated during a "weighted interleave" round.
(See 'weighted interleave' for more details').
=====================================================================
(Patch 2) set_mempolicy: MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE
Weighted interleave is a new memory policy that interleaves memory
across numa nodes in the provided nodemask based on the weights
described in patch 1 (sysfs global weights).
When a system has multiple NUMA nodes and it becomes bandwidth hungry,
the current MPOL_INTERLEAVE could be an wise option.
However, if those NUMA nodes consist of different types of memory such
as having local DRAM and CXL memory together, the current round-robin
based interleaving policy doesn't maximize the overall bandwidth
because of their different bandwidth characteristics.
Instead, the interleaving can be more efficient when the allocation
policy follows each NUMA nodes' bandwidth weight rather than having 1:1
round-robin allocation.
This patch introduces a new memory policy, MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE,
which enables weighted interleaving between NUMA nodes. Weighted
interleave allows for a proportional distribution of memory across
multiple numa nodes, preferablly apportioned to match the bandwidth
capacity of each node from the perspective of the accessing node.
For example, if a system has 1 CPU node (0), and 2 memory nodes (0,1),
with a relative bandwidth of (100GB/s, 50GB/s) respectively, the
appropriate weight distribution is (2:1).
Weights will be acquired from the global weight array exposed by the
sysfs extension: /sys/kernel/mm/mempolicy/weighted_interleave/
The policy will then allocate the number of pages according to the
set weights. For example, if the weights are (2,1), then 2 pages
will be allocated on node0 for every 1 page allocated on node1.
The new flag MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE can be used in set_mempolicy(2)
and mbind(2).
=====================================================================
(Patches 3-6) Refactoring mempolicy for code-reuse
To avoid multiple paths of mempolicy creation, we should refactor the
existing code to enable the designed extensibility, and refactor
existing users to utilize the new interface (while retaining the
existing userland interface).
This set of patches introduces a new mempolicy_args structure, which
is used to more fully describe a requested mempolicy - to include
existing and future extensions.
/*
* Describes settings of a mempolicy during set/get syscalls and
* kernel internal calls to do_set_mempolicy()
*/
struct mempolicy_args {
unsigned short mode; /* policy mode */
unsigned short mode_flags; /* policy mode flags */
nodemask_t *policy_nodes; /* get/set/mbind */
int policy_node; /* get: policy node information */
unsigned long addr; /* get: vma address */
int addr_node; /* get: node the address belongs to */
int home_node; /* mbind: use MPOL_MF_HOME_NODE */
unsigned char *il_weights; /* for mode MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE */
};
This arg structure will eventually be utilized by the following
interfaces:
mpol_new() - new mempolicy creation
do_get_mempolicy() - acquiring information about mempolicy
do_set_mempolicy() - setting the task mempolicy
do_mbind() - setting a vma mempolicy
do_get_mempolicy() is completely refactored to break it out into
separate functionality based on the flags provided by get_mempolicy(2)
MPOL_F_MEMS_ALLOWED: acquires task->mems_allowed
MPOL_F_ADDR: acquires information on vma policies
MPOL_F_NODE: changes the output for the policy arg to node info
We refactor the get_mempolicy syscall flatten the logic based on these
flags, and aloow for set_mempolicy2() to re-use the underlying logic.
The result of this refactor, and the new mempolicy_args structure, is
that extensions like 'sys_set_mempolicy_home_node' can now be directly
integrated into the initial call to 'set_mempolicy2', and that more
complete information about a mempolicy can be returned with a single
call to 'get_mempolicy2', rather than multiple calls to 'get_mempolicy'
=====================================================================
(Patches 7-10) set_mempolicy2, get_mempolicy2, mbind2
These interfaces are the 'extended' counterpart to their relatives.
They use the userland 'struct mpol_args' structure to communicate a
complete mempolicy configuration to the kernel. This structure
looks very much like the kernel-internal 'struct mempolicy_args':
struct mpol_args {
/* Basic mempolicy settings */
__u16 mode;
__u16 mode_flags;
__s32 home_node;
__aligned_u64 pol_nodes;
__u64 pol_maxnodes;
__u64 addr;
__s32 policy_node;
__s32 addr_node;
__aligned_u64 *il_weights; /* of size pol_maxnodes */
};
The basic mempolicy settings which are shared across all interfaces
are captured at the top of the structure, while extensions such as
'policy_node' and 'addr' are collected beneath.
The syscalls are uniform and defined as follows:
long sys_mbind2(struct iovec *vec, size_t vlen,
struct mpol_args *args, size_t usize,
unsigned long flags);
long sys_get_mempolicy2(struct mpol_args *args, size_t size,
unsigned long flags);
long sys_set_mempolicy2(struct mpol_args *args, size_t size,
unsigned long flags);
The 'flags' argument for mbind2 is the same as 'mbind', except with
the addition of MPOL_MF_HOME_NODE to denote whether the 'home_node'
field should be utilized.
The 'flags' argument for get_mempolicy2 is the same as get_mempolicy.
The 'flags' argument is not used by 'set_mempolicy' at this time, but
may end up allowing the use of MPOL_MF_HOME_NODE if such functionality
is desired.
The extensions can be summed up as follows:
get_mempolicy2 extensions:
'mode', 'policy_node', and 'addr_node' can now be fetched with
a single call, rather than multiple with a combination of flags.
- 'mode' will always return the policy mode
- 'policy_node' will replace the functionality of MPOL_F_NODE
- 'addr_node' will return the node for 'addr' w/ MPOL_F_ADDR
set_mempolicy2:
- task-local interleave weights can be set via 'il_weights'
(see next patch)
mbind2:
- 'vec' and 'vlen' are sed to operate on multiple memory
ranges, rather than a single memory range per syscall.
- 'home_node' field sets policy home node w/ MPOL_MF_HOME_NODE
- task-local interleave weights can be set via 'il_weights'
(see next patch)
=====================================================================
(Patch 11) set_mempolicy2/mbind2: MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE
This patch shows the explicit extension pattern when adding new
policies to mempolicy2/mbind2. This adds the 'il_weights' field
to mpol_args and adds the logic to fill in task-local weights.
There are now two ways to weight a mempolicy: global and local.
To denote which mode the task is in, we add the internal flag:
MPOL_F_GWEIGHT /* Utilize global weights */
When MPOL_F_GWEIGHT is set, the global weights are used, and
when it is not set, task-local weights are used.
Example logic:
if (pol->flags & MPOL_F_GWEIGHT)
pol_weights = iw_table[numa_node_id()].weights;
else
pol_weights = pol->wil.weights;
set_mempolicy is changed to always set MPOL_F_GWEIGHT, since this
syscall is incapable of passing weights via its interfaces, while
set_mempolicy2 sets MPOL_F_GWEIGHT if MPOL_F_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE
is required but (*il_weights) in mpol_args is null.
The operation of task-local weighted is otherwise exactly the
same - except for what occurs on task migration.
On task migration, the system presently has no way of determining
what the new weights "should be", or what the user "intended".
For this reason, we default all weights to '1' and do not allow
weights to be '0'. This means, should a migration occur where
one or more nodes appear into the nodemask - the effective weight
for that node will be '1'. This avoids a potential allocation
failure condition if a migration occurs and introduces a node
which otherwise did not have a weight.
For this reason, users should use task-local weighting when
migrations are not expected, and global weighting when migrations
are expected or possible.
=====================================================================
Test Reports:
LTP set_mempolicy, get_mempolicy, mbind regression tests:
MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE added manually to test basic functionality
but did not adjust tests for weighting. Basically the weights were
set to 1, which is the default, and it should behavior like standard
MPOL_INTERLEAVE if logic is correct.
