[PATCH v2 0/3] Add NUMA support for NVDIMM devices

[PATCH v2 0/3] Add NUMA support for NVDIMM devices

[Toshi Kani]

Since NVDIMMs are installed on memory slots, they expose the NUMA
topology of a platform.  This patchset adds support of sysfs
'numa_node' to I/O-related NVDIMM devices under /sys/bus/nd/devices.
This enables numactl(8) to accept 'block:' and 'file:' paths of
pmem and btt devices as shown in the examples below.
  numactl --preferred block:pmem0 --show
  numactl --preferred file:/dev/pmem0s --show

numactl can be used to bind an application to the locality of
a target NVDIMM for better performance.  Here is a result of fio
benchmark to ext4/dax on an HP DL380 with 2 sockets for local and
remote settings.

  Local [1] :  4098.3MB/s
  Remote [2]:  3718.4MB/s

[1] numactl --preferred block:pmem0 --cpunodebind block:pmem0 fio <fs-on-pmem0> 
[2] numactl --preferred block:pmem1 --cpunodebind block:pmem1 fio <fs-on-pmem0>

Patch 1/3 applies on top of the acpica branch of the pm tree.
Patch 2/3-3/3 apply on top of Dan Williams's v5 patch series of 
"libnvdimm: non-volatile memory devices".

[PATCH v2 1/3] acpi: Add acpi_map_pxm_to_online_node()

[Toshi Kani]

The kernel initializes CPU & memory's NUMA topology from ACPI
SRAT table.  Some other ACPI tables, such as NFIT and DMAR,
also contain proximity IDs for their device's NUMA topology.
This information can be used to improve performance of these
devices.

This patch introduces acpi_map_pxm_to_online_node(), which maps
a given pxm to an online node.  This allows ACPI device driver
modules to obtain a node from a device proximity ID.  Unlike
acpi_map_pxm_to_node(), this interface is guaranteed to return
an online node so that the caller module can use the node without
dealing with the node status.  A node may be offline when a device
proximity ID is unique, SRAT memory entry does not exist, or
NUMA is disabled (ex. numa_off on x86).

This patch also moves the pxm range check from acpi_get_node()
to acpi_map_pxm_to_node().

Can you make this a proper kerneldoc, please?  *Especially* that it is an
exported function.

The description is a bit terse too in my view.

[PATCH v2 2/3] libnvdimm: Set numa_node to NVDIMM devices

[Toshi Kani]

ACPI NFIT table has System Physical Address Range Structure
entries that describe a proximity ID of each range when
ACPI_NFIT_PROXIMITY_VALID is set in the flags.

Change acpi_nfit_register_region() to map a proximity ID to its
node ID, and set it to a new numa_node field of nd_region_desc,
which is then conveyed to nd_region.

nd_region_probe() and nd_btt_probe() set the numa_node of nd_region
to their device object being probed.  A namespace device inherits
the numa_node from the parent region device.

[PATCH v2 3/3] libnvdimm: Add sysfs numa_node to NVDIMM devices

[Toshi Kani]

Add support of sysfs 'numa_node' to I/O-related NVDIMM devices
under /sys/bus/nd/devices, regionN, namespaceN.0, and bttN.
When bttN is not set up, its numa_node returns -1 (NUMA_NO_NODE).

Here is an example of numa_node values on a 2-socket system with
a single NVDIMM range on each socket.
  /sys/bus/nd/devices
  |-- btt0/numa_node:-1
  |-- btt1/numa_node:0
  |-- namespace0.0/numa_node:0
  |-- namespace1.0/numa_node:1
  |-- region0/numa_node:0
  |-- region1/numa_node:1

These numa_node files are then linked under the block class of
their device names.
  /sys/class/block/pmem0/device/numa_node:0
  /sys/class/block/pmem0s/device/numa_node:0
  /sys/class/block/pmem1/device/numa_node:1

This enables numactl(8) to accept 'block:' and 'file:' paths of
pmem and btt devices as shown in the examples below.
  numactl --preferred block:pmem0 --show
  numactl --preferred file:/dev/pmem0s --show

Ah, I did not know that.  I guess I should have RTFM.  :)

numactl does have a bug handling partitions under these devices,
because it assumes all storage devices have "/devices/pci"
in their path as it tries to find the parent device for the
partition.  I think we'll propose a numactl patch for that;
I don't think the drivers can fool it.

Details (from an earlier version of the patch series
in which btt devices were named /dev/nd1, etc.):

strace shows that numactl is trying to find numa_node in very
different locations for /dev/nd1p1 vs. /dev/sda1.

strace for /dev/nd1p1
=====================
open("/sys/class/block/nd1p1/dev", O_RDONLY) = 4
read(4, "259:1\n", 4095)                = 6
close(4)                                = 0
close(3)                                = 0
readlink("/sys/class/block/nd1p1", "../../devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYB"..., 1024) = 77
open("/sys/class/block/nd1p1/device/numa_node", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

strace for /dev/sda1
====================
open("/sys/class/block/sda1/dev", O_RDONLY) = 4
read(4, "8:1\n", 4095)                  = 4
close(4)                                = 0
close(3)                                = 0
readlink("/sys/class/block/sda1", "../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00"..., 1024) = 91
open("/sys//devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0//numa_node", O_RDONLY) = 3
read(3, "0\n", 4095)                    = 2
close(3)                                = 0

The "sys/class/block/xxx" paths link to:
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 May 20 20:42 /sys/class/block/nd1p1 -> ../../devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/ACPI0012:00/ndbus0/btt1/block/nd1/nd1p1
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 May 20 20:41 /sys/class/block/sda1 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:03:00.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:0/block/sda/sda1


For /dev/sda1, numactl recognizes "/devices/pci" as
a special path, and strips off everything after the
numbers.  Faced with:
../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:03:00.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:0/block/sda/sda1

it ends up with this (leaving a sloppy "//" in the path):
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0//numa_node

It would also succeed if it ended up with this:
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:03:00.0/numa_node

For /dev/nd1p1 it does not see that string, so just
tries to open "/sys/class/block/nd1p1/device/numa_node"

There are no "device/" subdirectories in the tree for
partition devices (for either sda1 or nd1p1), so this 
fails.

I think it is broken to try go from /sys/class down it should go from
the device node up.  I.e. from the resolved path of
/sys/dev/block/<major>:<minor>, and then walk up the directory tree to
the parent of block.

$ readlink -f /sys/dev/block/8\:1/
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda1

Yes, numactl supports the following sysfs class lookup for numa_node.
This patchset adds numa_node for NVDIMM devices in the same sysfs format
as described in patch 3/3.

   /* Generic sysfs class lookup */
   static int
   affinity_class(struct bitmask *mask, char *cls, const char *dev)
   {
		:
        ret = sysfs_node_read(mask, "/sys/class/%s/%s/device/numa_node",
                              cls, dev);

Thanks,
