Subject: [PATCH v15-RFC 6/8] x86/resctrl: Introduce snc_nodes_per_l3_cache
Intel Sub-NUMA Cluster (SNC) is a feature that subdivides the CPU cores
and memory controllers on a socket into two or more groups. These are
presented to the operating system as NUMA nodes.
This may enable some workloads to have slightly lower latency to memory
as the memory controller(s) in an SNC node are electrically closer to the
CPU cores on that SNC node. This cost may be offset by lower bandwidth
since the memory accesses for each core can only be interleaved between
the memory controllers on the same SNC node.
Resctrl monitoring on an Intel system depends upon attaching RMIDs to tasks
to track L3 cache occupancy and memory bandwidth. There is an MSR that
controls how the RMIDs are shared between SNC nodes.
The default mode divides them numerically. E.g. when there are two SNC
nodes on a socket the lower number half of the RMIDs are given to the
first node, the remainder to the second node. This would be difficult
to use with the Linux resctrl interface as specific RMID values assigned
to resctrl groups are not visible to users.
The other mode divides the RMIDs and renumbers the ones on the second
SNC node to start from zero.
Even with this renumbering SNC mode requires several changes in resctrl
behavior for correct operation.
Add a global integer "snc_nodes_per_l3_cache" that shows how many
SNC nodes share each L3 cache. When "snc_nodes_per_l3_cache" is "1",
SNC mode is either not implemented, or not enabled.
Update all places to take appropriate action when SNC mode is enabled:
1) The number of logical RMIDs per L3 cache available for use is the
number of physical RMIDs divided by the number of SNC nodes.
2) Likewise the "mon_scale" value must be divided by the number of SNC
nodes.
3) The RMID renumbering operates when using the value from the
IA32_PQR_ASSOC MSR to count accesses by a task. When reading an RMID
counter, adjust from the logical RMID to the physical
RMID value for the SNC node that it wishes to read and load the
adjusted value into the IA32_QM_EVTSEL MSR.
4) Divide the L3 cache between the SNC nodes. Divide the value
reported in the resctrl "size" file by the number of SNC
nodes because the effective amount of cache that can be allocated
is reduced by that factor.
5) Disable the "-o mba_MBps" mount option in SNC mode
because the monitoring is being done per SNC node, while the
bandwidth allocation is still done at the L3 cache scope.
Trying to use this feedback loop might result in contradictory
changes to the throttling level coming from each of the SNC
node bandwidth measurements.
