change zonelist order: zonelist order selection logic
Make zonelist creation policy selectable from sysctl/boot option v6. This patch makes NUMA's zonelist (of pgdat) order selectable. Available order are Default(automatic)/ Node-based / Zone-based. [Default Order] The kernel selects Node-based or Zone-based order automatically. [Node-based Order] This policy treats the locality of memory as the most important parameter. Zonelist order is created by each zone's locality. This means lower zones (ex. ZONE_DMA) can be used before higher zone (ex. ZONE_NORMAL) exhausion. IOW. ZONE_DMA will be in the middle of zonelist. current 2.6.21 kernel uses this. Pros. * A user can expect local memory as much as possible. Cons. * lower zone will be exhansted before higher zone. This may cause OOM_KILL. Maybe suitable if ZONE_DMA is relatively big and you never see OOM_KILL because of ZONE_DMA exhaution and you need the best locality. (example) assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL. *node(0)'s memory allocation order: node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA -> node(1)'s NORMAL. *node(1)'s memory allocation order: node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. [Zone-based order] This policy treats the zone type as the most important parameter. Zonelist order is created by zone-type order. This means lower zone never be used bofere higher zone exhaustion. IOW. ZONE_DMA will be always at the tail of zonelist. Pros. * OOM_KILL(bacause of lower zone) occurs only if the whole zones are exhausted. Cons. * memory locality may not be best. (example) assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL. *node(0)'s memory allocation order: node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. *node(1)'s memory allocation order: node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. bootoption "numa_zonelist_order=" and proc/sysctl is supporetd. command: %echo N > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order Will rebuild zonelist in Node-based order. command: %echo Z > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order Will rebuild zonelist in Zone-based order. Thanks to Lee Schermerhorn, he gives me much help and codes.

numa_zonelist_order
|
||||
|
||||
This sysctl is only for NUMA.
|
||||
'where the memory is allocated from' is controlled by zonelists.
|
||||
(This documentation ignores ZONE_HIGHMEM/ZONE_DMA32 for simple explanation.
|
||||
you may be able to read ZONE_DMA as ZONE_DMA32...)
|
||||
|
||||
In non-NUMA case, a zonelist for GFP_KERNEL is ordered as following.
|
||||
ZONE_NORMAL -> ZONE_DMA
|
||||
This means that a memory allocation request for GFP_KERNEL will
|
||||
get memory from ZONE_DMA only when ZONE_NORMAL is not available.
|
||||
|
||||
In NUMA case, you can think of following 2 types of order.
|
||||
Assume 2 node NUMA and below is zonelist of Node(0)'s GFP_KERNEL
|
||||
|
||||
(A) Node(0) ZONE_NORMAL -> Node(0) ZONE_DMA -> Node(1) ZONE_NORMAL
|
||||
(B) Node(0) ZONE_NORMAL -> Node(1) ZONE_NORMAL -> Node(0) ZONE_DMA.
|
||||
|
||||
Type(A) offers the best locality for processes on Node(0), but ZONE_DMA
|
||||
will be used before ZONE_NORMAL exhaustion. This increases possibility of
|
||||
out-of-memory(OOM) of ZONE_DMA because ZONE_DMA is tend to be small.
|
||||
|
||||
Type(B) cannot offer the best locality but is more robust against OOM of
|
||||
the DMA zone.
|
||||
|
||||
Type(A) is called as "Node" order. Type (B) is "Zone" order.
|
||||
|
||||
"Node order" orders the zonelists by node, then by zone within each node.
|
||||
Specify "[Nn]ode" for zone order
|
||||
|
||||
"Zone Order" orders the zonelists by zone type, then by node within each
|
||||
zone. Specify "[Zz]one"for zode order.
|
||||
|
||||
Specify "[Dd]efault" to request automatic configuration. Autoconfiguration
|
||||
will select "node" order in following case.
|
||||
(1) if the DMA zone does not exist or
|
||||
(2) if the DMA zone comprises greater than 50% of the available memory or
|
||||
(3) if any node's DMA zone comprises greater than 60% of its local memory and
|
||||
the amount of local memory is big enough.
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise, "zone" order will be selected. Default order is recommended unless
|
||||
this is causing problems for your system/application.
