Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/1] mm, page_alloc: fix incorrect zone_statistics data
Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2016 13:59:06 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1481522347-20393-1-git-send-email-hejianet@gmail.com> (raw)
In commit b9f00e147f27 ("mm, page_alloc: reduce branches in
zone_statistics"), it reconstructed the code to reduce the branch miss rate.
Compared with the original logic, it assumed if !(flag & __GFP_OTHER_NODE)
z->node would not be equal to preferred_zone->node. That seems to be
incorrect.
Here is what I catch, dumpstack() is triggered when z->node ==
preferred_zone->node and z->node != numa_node_id()
z=5,prefer=5,local=4, flag&OTHER_NODE=0

Before this patch, the numa_miss and numa_foreign looked very odd:
linux:~ # numastat
node0 node1 node2 node3 node4 node5 node6
numa_hit 42216 0 0 0 96755 0 0
numa_miss 1 718 711 726 860 712 719
numa_foreign 1 718 711 726 860 712 719
interleave_hit 631 638 632 641 621 633 636
local_node 42216 0 0 0 96755 0 0
other_node 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
After this patch
linux:~ # numastat
node0 node1 node2 node3 node4 node5 node6
numa_hit 177891 718 711 726 60302 712 719
numa_miss 0 196944 237222 253424 0 36265 0
numa_foreign 723855 0 0 0 0 0 0
interleave_hit 631 638 632 641 621 633 636
local_node 177891 0 0 0 59444 0 0
other_node 0 718 711 726 858 712 719
