902861e34c - Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory.  Series
   "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
 
 - More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
 
 	"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
 	"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
 
 - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
   significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
   reductions in overall runtimes.  The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
   scalability of zswap rb-tree".
 
 - Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
   lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
   swap-intensive situations.
 
 - And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
   optimize for dynamic zswap_pools".  Measured improvements are modest.
 
 - zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm:
   zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
 
 - In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
   contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
   control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged
   as system memory.
 
 - Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
   which does that.

 - In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
   extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy

   Mark Brown did what the title claims.
 
 - Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring".

54de442747 sched/topology: Rename SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES to SD_SHARE_LLC
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES is a bit of a misnomer: its naming suggests that
it's sharing all 'package resources' - while in reality it's specifically
for sharing the LLC only.

Rename it to SD_SHARE_LLC to reduce confusion.

7e9f7d17fe sched/fair: Simplify the update_sd_pick_busiest() logic
When comparing the current struct sched_group with the yet-busiest
domain in update_sd_pick_busiest(), if the two groups have the same
group type, we're currently doing a bit of unnecessary work for any
group >= group_misfit_task. We're comparing the two groups, and then
returning only if false (the group in question is not the busiest).

Otherwise, we break out, do an extra unnecessary conditional check that's
vacuously false for any group type > group_fully_busy, and then always
return true.

Let's just return directly in the switch statement instead. This doesn't
change the size of vmlinux with llvm 17 (not surprising given that all
of this is inlined in load_balance()), but it does shrink load_balance()
by 88 bytes on x86. Given that it also improves readability, this seems
worth doing.

7f1a722971 sched/fair: Do strict inequality check for busiest misfit task group
In update_sd_pick_busiest(), when comparing two sched groups that are
both of type group_misfit_task, we currently consider the new group as
busier than the current busiest group even if the new group has the
same misfit task load as the current busiest group. We can avoid some
unnecessary writes if we instead only consider the newest group to be
the busiest if it has a higher load than the current busiest. This
matches the behavior of other group types where we compare load, such as
two groups that are both overloaded.

Let's update the group_misfit_task type comparison to also only update
the busiest group in the event of strict inequality.

update_sd_pick_busiest() for the sched group that contains the local /
destination CPU. We use a goto to skip the call, but we could just as
easily check !local_group, as there's no other logic that we need to
skip with the goto. Let's remove the goto, and check for !local_group in

23d04d8c6b sched/fair: Take the scheduling domain into account in select_idle_core()
When picking a CPU on task wakeup, select_idle_core() has to take
into account the scheduling domain where the function looks for the CPU.

This is because the "isolcpus" kernel command line option can remove CPUs
from the domain to isolate them from other SMT siblings.

This change replaces the set of CPUs allowed to run the task from
p->cpus_ptr by the intersection of p->cpus_ptr and sched_domain_span(sd)
which is stored in the 'cpus' argument provided by select_idle_cpu().

8b936fc1d8 sched/fair: Use existing helper functions to access ->avg_rt and ->avg_dl
There are helper functions called cpu_util_dl() and cpu_util_rt() which give
the average utilization of DL and RT respectively. But there are a few
places in code where access to these variables is open-coded.

Instead use the helper function so that code becomes simpler and easier to
maintain later on.

No functional changes intended.

8cec3dd9e5 sched/core: Simplify code by removing duplicate #ifdefs
There's a few cases of nested #ifdefs in the scheduler code
that can be simplified:

  #ifdef DEFINE_A
  ...code block...
    #ifdef DEFINE_A       <-- This is a duplicate.
    ...code block...
    #endif
  #else
    #ifndef DEFINE_A     <-- This is also duplicate.
    ...code block...
    #endif
  #endif

f60a631ab9 sched/fair: Fix tg->load when offlining a CPU
When a CPU is taken offline, the contribution of its cfs_rqs to task_groups'
load may remain and will negatively impact the calculation of the share of
the online CPUs.

To fix this bug, clear the contribution of an offlining CPU to task groups'
load and skip its contribution while it is inactive.

Here's the reproducer of the anomaly, by Imran Khan:

	"So far I have encountered only one rather lengthy way of reproducing this issue,
	which is as follows:

	1. Take a KVM guest (booted with 4 CPUs and can be scaled up to 124 CPUs) and
	   create 2 custom cgroups: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test_group_1 and /sys/fs/cgroup/
	   cpu/test_group_2

	2. Assign a CPU intensive workload to each of these cgroups and start the
	   workload.

	For my tests I am using following app:

	int main(int argc, char *argv[])
	{
		unsigned long count, i, val;
		if (argc != 2) {
		      printf("usage: ./a.out <number of random nums to generate> \n");
		      return 0;
		}

		count = strtoul(argv[1], NULL, 10);

		printf("Generating %lu random numbers \n", count);
		for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
			val = rand();
			val = val % 2;
			//usleep(1);
		}
		printf("Generated %lu random numbers \n", count);
		return 0;
	}

	Also since the system is booted with 4 CPUs, in order to completely load the
	system I am also launching 4 instances of same test app under:

	   /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/

	3. We can see that both of the cgroups get similar CPU time:

	4. Now move systemd-udevd to one of these test groups, say test_group_1, and
	   perform scale up to 124 CPUs followed by scale down back to 4 CPUs from the
	   host side.

	5. Run the same workload i.e 4 instances of CPU hogger under /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu
	   and one instance of  CPU hogger each in /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test_group_1 and
	   /sys/fs/cgroup/test_group_2.

	It can be seen that test_group_1 (the one where systemd-udevd was moved) is getting
	much less CPU time than the test_group_2, even though at this point of time both of
	these groups have only CPU hogger running:

3af7524b14 sched/fair: Use all little CPUs for CPU-bound workloads
Running N CPU-bound tasks on an N CPUs platform:

- with asymmetric CPU capacity

- not being a DynamIq system (i.e. having a PKG level sched domain
  without the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set)

.. might result in a task placement where two tasks run on a big CPU
and none on a little CPU. This placement could be more optimal by
using all CPUs.

Testing platform:

  Juno-r2:
    - 2 big CPUs (1-2), maximum capacity of 1024
    - 4 little CPUs (0,3-5), maximum capacity of 383

Testing workload ([1]):

  Spawn 6 CPU-bound tasks. During the first 100ms (step 1), each tasks
  is affine to a CPU, except for:

    - one little CPU which is left idle.
    - one big CPU which has 2 tasks affine.

  After the 100ms (step 2), remove the cpumask affinity.

Behavior before the patch:

  During step 2, the load balancer running from the idle CPU tags sched
  domains as:

  - little CPUs: 'group_has_spare'. Cf. group_has_capacity() and
    group_is_overloaded(), 3 CPU-bound tasks run on a 4 CPUs
    sched-domain, and the idle CPU provides enough spare capacity
    regarding the imbalance_pct

  - big CPUs: 'group_overloaded'. Indeed, 3 tasks run on a 2 CPUs
    sched-domain, so the following path is used:

      group_is_overloaded()
      \-if (sgs->sum_nr_running <= sgs->group_weight) return true;

    The following path which would change the migration type to
    'migrate_task' is not taken:

      calculate_imbalance()
      \-if (env->idle != CPU_NOT_IDLE && env->imbalance == 0)

    as the local group has some spare capacity, so the imbalance
    is not 0.

  The migration type requested is 'migrate_util' and the busiest
  runqueue is the big CPU's runqueue having 2 tasks (each having a
  utilization of 512). The idle little CPU cannot pull one of these
  task as its capacity is too small for the task. The following path
  is used:

   detach_tasks()
   \-case migrate_util:
     \-if (util > env->imbalance) goto next;

After the patch:

As the number of failed balancing attempts grows (with
'nr_balance_failed'), progressively make it easier to migrate
a big task to the idling little CPU. A similar mechanism is
used for the 'migrate_load' migration type.

Improvement:

Running the testing workload [1] with the step 2 representing
a ~10s load for a big CPU:

  Before patch: ~19.3s
  After patch:  ~18s (-6.7%)

b1c3efe079 sched: fair: move unused stub functions to header
These four functions have a normal definition for CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED,
and empty one that is only referenced when FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is disabled
but CGROUP_SCHED is still enabled.  If both are turned off, the functions
are still defined but the misisng prototype causes a W=1 warning:

kernel/sched/fair.c:12544:6: error: no previous prototype for 'free_fair_sched_group'

Move the alternatives into the header as static inline functions with the
correct combination of #ifdef checks to avoid the warning without adding
even more complexity.

[A different patch with the same description got applied by accident
 and was later reverted, but the original patch is still missing]

9c0b4bb7f6 sched/cpufreq: Rework schedutil governor performance estimation
The current method to take into account uclamp hints when estimating the
target frequency can end in a situation where the selected target
frequency is finally higher than uclamp hints, whereas there are no real
needs. Such cases mainly happen because we are currently mixing the
traditional scheduler utilization signal with the uclamp performance
hints. By adding these 2 metrics, we loose an important information when
it comes to select the target frequency, and we have to make some
assumptions which can't fit all cases.

Rework the interface between the scheduler and schedutil governor in order
to propagate all information down to the cpufreq governor.

effective_cpu_util() interface changes and now returns the actual
utilization of the CPU with 2 optional inputs:

- The minimum performance for this CPU; typically the capacity to handle
  the deadline task and the interrupt pressure. But also uclamp_min
  request when available.

- The maximum targeting performance for this CPU which reflects the
  maximum level that we would like to not exceed. By default it will be
  the CPU capacity but can be reduced because of some performance hints
  set with uclamp. The value can be lower than actual utilization and/or
  min performance level.

A new sugov_effective_cpu_perf() interface is also available to compute
the final performance level that is targeted for the CPU, after applying
some cpufreq headroom and taking into account all inputs.

With these 2 functions, schedutil is now able to decide when it must go
above uclamp hints. It now also has a generic way to get the min
performance level.

The dependency between energy model and cpufreq governor and its headroom
policy doesn't exist anymore.

eenv_pd_max_util() asks schedutil for the targeted performance after
applying the impact of the waking task.

50181c0cff sched/pelt: Avoid underestimation of task utilization
Lukasz Luba reported that a thread's util_est can significantly decrease as
a result of sharing the CPU with other threads.

The use case can be easily reproduced with a periodic task TA that runs 1ms
and sleeps 100us. When the task is alone on the CPU, its max utilization and
its util_est is around 888. If another similar task starts to run on the
same CPU, TA will have to share the CPU runtime and its maximum utilization
will decrease around half the CPU capacity (512) then TA's util_est will
follow this new maximum trend which is only the result of sharing the CPU
with others tasks.

Such situation can be detected with runnable_avg wich is close or
equal to util_avg when TA is alone, but increases above util_avg when TA
shares the CPU with other threads and wait on the runqueue.

[ We prefer an util_est that overestimate rather than under estimate
  because in 1st case we will not provide enough performance to the
  task which will remain under-provisioned, whereas in the other case we
  will create some idle time which will enable to reduce contention and
  as a result reduces the util_est so the overestimate will be transient
  whereas the underestimate will remain. ]

63ba8422f8 sched/deadline: Introduce deadline servers
Low priority tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) can suffer starvation if tasks
with higher priority (e.g., SCHED_FIFO) monopolize CPU(s).

RT Throttling has been introduced a while ago as a (mostly debug)
countermeasure one can utilize to reserve some CPU time for low priority
tasks (usually background type of work, e.g. workqueues, timers, etc.).
It however has its own problems (see documentation) and the undesired
effect of unconditionally throttling FIFO tasks even when no lower
priority activity needs to run (there are mechanisms to fix this issue
as well, but, again, with their own problems).

Introduce deadline servers to service low priority tasks needs under
starvation conditions. Deadline servers are built extending SCHED_DEADLINE
implementation to allow 2-level scheduling (a sched_deadline entity
becomes a container for lower priority scheduling entities).

ee4373dc90 sched/eevdf: O(1) fastpath for task selection
Since the RB-tree is now sorted by deadline, let's first try the
leftmost entity which has the earliest virtual deadline. I've done
some benchmarks to see its effectiveness.

All the benchmarks are done inside a normal cpu cgroup in a clean
environment with cpu turbo disabled, on a dual-CPU Intel Xeon(R)
Platinum 8260 with 2 NUMA nodes each of which has 24C/48T.

  hackbench: process/thread + pipe/socket + 1/2/4/8 groups
  netperf:   TCP/UDP + STREAM/RR + 24/48/72/96/192 threads
  tbench:    loopback 24/48/72/96/192 threads
  schbench:  1/2/4/8 mthreads

  direct:    cfs_rq has only one entity
  parity:    RUN_TO_PARITY
  fast:      O(1) fastpath
  slow:	     heap search

    (%)		direct	parity	fast	slow
  hackbench	92.95	2.02	4.91	0.12
  netperf	68.08	6.60	24.18	1.14
  tbench	67.55	11.22	20.61	0.62
  schbench	69.91	2.65	25.73	1.71

The above results indicate that this fastpath really makes task
selection more efficient.

84db47ca71 sched/numa: Fix mm numa_scan_seq based unconditional scan
Since commit fc137c0ddab2 ("sched/numa: enhance vma scanning logic")

NUMA Balancing allows updating PTEs to trap NUMA hinting faults if the
task had previously accessed VMA. However unconditional scan of VMAs are
allowed during initial phase of VMA creation until process's
mm numa_scan_seq reaches 2 even though current task had not accessed VMA.

Rationale:
 - Without initial scan subsequent PTE update may never happen.
 - Give fair opportunity to all the VMAs to be scanned and subsequently
understand the access pattern of all the VMAs.

But it has a corner case where, if a VMA is created after some time,
process's mm numa_scan_seq could be already greater than 2.

For e.g., values of mm numa_scan_seq when VMAs are created by running
mmtest autonuma benchmark briefly looks like:
start_seq=0 : 459
start_seq=2 : 138
start_seq=3 : 144
start_seq=4 : 8
start_seq=8 : 1
start_seq=9 : 1
This results in no unconditional PTE updates for those VMAs created after
some time.

Fix:
 - Note down the initial value of mm numa_scan_seq in per VMA start_seq.
 - Allow unconditional scan till start_seq + 2.

Result:
SUT: AMD EPYC Milan with 2 NUMA nodes 256 cpus.
base kernel: upstream 6.6-rc6 with Mels patches [1] applied.

6d7e4782bc sched/fair: Fix the decision for load balance
should_we_balance is called for the decision to do load-balancing.
When sched ticks invoke this function, only one CPU should return
true. However, in the current code, two CPUs can return true. The
following situation, where b means busy and i means idle, is an
example, because CPU 0 and CPU 2 return true.

        [0, 1] [2, 3]
         b  b   i  b

This fix checks if there exists an idle CPU with busy sibling(s)
after looking for a CPU on an idle core. If some idle CPUs with busy
siblings are found, just the first one should do load-balancing.

eab03c23c2 sched/eevdf: Fix vruntime adjustment on reweight
vruntime of the (on_rq && !0-lag) entity needs to be adjusted when
it gets re-weighted, and the calculations can be simplified based
on the fact that re-weight won't change the w-average of all the
entities. Please check the proofs in comments.

But adjusting vruntime can also cause position change in RB-tree
hence require re-queue to fix up which might be costly. This might
be avoided by deferring adjustment to the time the entity actually
leaves tree (dequeue/pick), but that will negatively affect task
selection and probably not good enough either.

22165f61d0 sched/fair: Use candidate prev/recent_used CPU if scanning failed for cluster wakeup
Chen Yu reports a hackbench regression of cluster wakeup when
hackbench threads equal to the CPU number [1]. Analysis shows
it's because we wake up more on the target CPU even if the
prev_cpu is a good wakeup candidate and leads to the decrease
of the CPU utilization.

Generally if the task's prev_cpu is idle we'll wake up the task
on it without scanning. On cluster machines we'll try to wake up
the task in the same cluster of the target for better cache
affinity, so if the prev_cpu is idle but not sharing the same
cluster with the target we'll still try to find an idle CPU within
the cluster. This will improve the performance at low loads on
cluster machines. But in the issue above, if the prev_cpu is idle
but not in the cluster with the target CPU, we'll try to scan an
idle one in the cluster. But since the system is busy, we're
likely to fail the scanning and use target instead, even if
the prev_cpu is idle. Then leads to the regression.

This patch solves this in 2 steps:
o record the prev_cpu/recent_used_cpu if they're good wakeup
  candidates but not sharing the cluster with the target.
o on scanning failure use the prev_cpu/recent_used_cpu if
  they're recorded as idle

8881e1639f sched/fair: Scan cluster before scanning LLC in wake-up path
For platforms having clusters like Kunpeng920, CPUs within the same cluster
have lower latency when synchronizing and accessing shared resources like
cache. Thus, this patch tries to find an idle cpu within the cluster of the
target CPU before scanning the whole LLC to gain lower latency. This
will be implemented in 2 steps in select_idle_sibling():
1. When the prev_cpu/recent_used_cpu are good wakeup candidates, use them
   if they're sharing cluster with the target CPU. Otherwise trying to
   scan for an idle CPU in the target's cluster.
2. Scanning the cluster prior to the LLC of the target CPU for an
   idle CPU to wakeup.

Testing has been done on Kunpeng920 by pinning tasks to one numa and two
numa. On Kunpeng920, Each numa has 8 clusters and each cluster has 4 CPUs.

With this patch, We noticed enhancement on tbench and netperf within one
numa or cross two numa on top of tip-sched-core commit
9b46f1abc6d4 ("sched/debug: Print 'tgid' in sched_show_task()")

Note neither Kunpeng920 nor x86 Jacobsville supports SMT, so the SMT branch
in the code has not been tested but it supposed to work.

Chen Yu also noticed this will improve the performance of tbench and
netperf on a 24 CPUs Jacobsville machine, there are 4 CPUs in one
cluster sharing L2 Cache.

f0498d2a54 sched: Fix stop_one_cpu_nowait() vs hotplug
Kuyo reported sporadic failures on a sched_setaffinity() vs CPU
hotplug stress-test -- notably affine_move_task() remains stuck in
wait_for_completion(), leading to a hung-task detector warning.

Specifically, it was reported that stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn =
migration_cpu_stop) returns false -- this stopper is responsible for
the matching complete().

The race scenario is:

	CPU0					CPU1

					// doing _cpu_down()

  __set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
    task_rq_lock();
					takedown_cpu()
					  stop_machine_cpuslocked(take_cpu_down..)

					<PREEMPT: cpu_stopper_thread()
					  MULTI_STOP_PREPARE
					  ...
    __set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked()
      affine_move_task()
        task_rq_unlock();

  <PREEMPT: cpu_stopper_thread()\>
    ack_state()
					  MULTI_STOP_RUN
					    take_cpu_down()
					      __cpu_disable();
					      stop_machine_park();
						stopper->enabled = false;
					 />
   />
	stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn = migration_cpu_stop);
          if (stopper->enabled) // false!!!

That is, by doing stop_one_cpu_nowait() after dropping rq-lock, the
stopper thread gets a chance to preempt and allows the cpu-down for
the target CPU to complete.

OTOH, since stop_one_cpu_nowait() / cpu_stop_queue_work() needs to
issue a wakeup, it must not be ran under the scheduler locks.

Solve this apparent contradiction by keeping preemption disabled over
the unlock + queue_stopper combination:

	preempt_disable();
	task_rq_unlock(...);
	if (!stop_pending)
	  stop_one_cpu_nowait(...)
	preempt_enable();

This respects the lock ordering contraints while still avoiding the
above race. That is, if we find the CPU is online under rq-lock, the
targeted stop_one_cpu_nowait() must succeed.

Apply this pattern to all similar stop_one_cpu_nowait() invocations.

f169c62ff7 sched/numa: Complete scanning of inactive VMAs when there is no alternative
VMAs are skipped if there is no recent fault activity but this represents
a chicken-and-egg problem as there may be no fault activity if the PTEs
are never updated to trap NUMA hints. There is an indirect reliance on
scanning to be forced early in the lifetime of a task but this may fail
to detect changes in phase behaviour. Force inactive VMAs to be scanned
when all other eligible VMAs have been updated within the same scan
sequence.

Test results in general look good with some changes in performance, both
negative and positive, depending on whether the additional scanning and
faulting was beneficial or not to the workload. The autonuma benchmark
workload NUMA01_THREADLOCAL was picked for closer examination. The workload
creates two processes with numerous threads and thread-local storage that
is zero-filled in a loop. It exercises the corner case where unrelated
threads may skip VMAs that are thread-local to another thread and still
has some VMAs that inactive while the workload executes.

The VMA skipping activity frequency with and without the patch:

	6.6.0-rc2-sched-numabtrace-v1
	=============================
	    649 reason=scan_delay
	  9,094 reason=unsuitable
	 48,915 reason=shared_ro
	143,919 reason=inaccessible
	193,050 reason=pid_inactive

	6.6.0-rc2-sched-numabselective-v1
	=============================
	    146 reason=seq_completed
	    622 reason=ignore_pid_inactive

	    624 reason=scan_delay
	  6,570 reason=unsuitable
	 16,101 reason=shared_ro
	 27,608 reason=inaccessible
	 41,939 reason=pid_inactive

Note that with the patch applied, the PID activity is ignored
(ignore_pid_inactive) to ensure a VMA with some activity is completely
scanned. In addition, a small number of VMAs are scanned when no other
eligible VMA is available during a single scan window (seq_completed).
The number of times a VMA is skipped due to no PID activity from the
scanning task (pid_inactive) drops dramatically. It is expected that
this will increase the number of PTEs updated for NUMA hinting faults
as well as hinting faults but these represent PTEs that would otherwise
have been missed. The tradeoff is scan+fault overhead versus improving
locality due to migration.

On a 2-socket Cascade Lake test machine, the time to complete the
workload is as follows;

                                                 6.6.0-rc2              6.6.0-rc2
                                       sched-numabtrace-v1 sched-numabselective-v1
  Min       elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL      174.22 (   0.00%)      117.64 (  32.48%)
  Amean     elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL      175.68 (   0.00%)      123.34 *  29.79%*
  Stddev    elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL        1.20 (   0.00%)        4.06 (-238.20%)
  CoeffVar  elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL        0.68 (   0.00%)        3.29 (-381.70%)
  Max       elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL      177.18 (   0.00%)      128.03 (  27.74%)

The time to complete the workload is reduced by almost 30%:

                     6.6.0-rc2   6.6.0-rc2
                  sched-numabtrace-v1 sched-numabselective-v1 /
  Duration User       91201.80    63506.64
  Duration System      2015.53     1819.78
  Duration Elapsed     1234.77      868.37

In this specific case, system CPU time was not increased but it's not
universally true.

From vmstat, the NUMA scanning and fault activity is as follows;

                                        6.6.0-rc2      6.6.0-rc2
                              sched-numabtrace-v1 sched-numabselective-v1
  Ops NUMA base-page range updates       64272.00    26374386.00
  Ops NUMA PTE updates                   36624.00       55538.00
  Ops NUMA PMD updates                      54.00       51404.00
  Ops NUMA hint faults                   15504.00       75786.00
  Ops NUMA hint local faults %           14860.00       56763.00
  Ops NUMA hint local percent               95.85          74.90
  Ops NUMA pages migrated                 1629.00     6469222.00

Both the number of PTE updates and hint faults is dramatically
increased. While this is superficially unfortunate, it represents
ranges that were simply skipped without the patch. As a result
of the scanning and hinting faults, many more pages were also
migrated but as the time to completion is reduced, the overhead
is offset by the gain.

b7a5b537c5 sched/numa: Complete scanning of partial VMAs regardless of PID activity
NUMA Balancing skips VMAs when the current task has not trapped a NUMA
fault within the VMA. If the VMA is skipped then mm->numa_scan_offset
advances and a task that is trapping faults within the VMA may never
fully update PTEs within the VMA.

Force tasks to update PTEs for partially scanned PTEs. The VMA will
be tagged for NUMA hints by some task but this removes some of the
benefit of tracking PID activity within a VMA. A follow-on patch
will mitigate this problem.

The test cases and machines evaluated did not trigger the corner case so
the performance results are neutral with only small changes within the
noise from normal test-to-test variance. However, the next patch makes
the corner case easier to trigger.
