[RFC PATCH] sched/numa: do load balance between remote nodes | |
| [Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] | |
commit cb83b629b remove the NODE sched domain and check if the node
distance in SLIT table is farther than REMOTE_DISTANCE, if so, it will
lose the load balance chance at exec/fork/wake_affine points.
But actually, even the node distance is farther than REMOTE_DISTANCE,
Modern CPUs also has QPI like connections, that make memory access is
not too slow between nodes. So above losing on NUMA machine make a
huge performance regression on benchmark: hackbench, tbench, netperf
and oltp etc.
This patch will recover the scheduler behavior to old mode on all my
Intel platforms: NHM EP/EX, WSM EP, SNB EP/EP4S, and so remove the
perfromance regressions. (all of them just has 2 kinds distance, 10 21)
