This patchset based on v4.17-rc5, provides few simple cleanups and fixes in
the sched/numa_balancing code. Some of these fixes are specific to systems
having more than 2 nodes. Few patches add per-rq and per-node complexities
to solve what I feel are a fairness/correctness issues.
Here are the scripts used to benchmark this series
They are based on Andrea Arcangeli and Petr Holasek's

Even the perf bench o/p (not included here because its pretty verbose)
points to a better consolidation. Attaching perf stat data instead.

Faults and page migrations have decreased and that correlates with perf stat
numbers. We are achieving faster and better consolidation with lesser task
migrations. Esp number of failed numa task migrations have decreased.

task_numa_compare() helps choose the best cpu to move or swap the
selected task. To achieve this task_numa_compare() is called for every
cpu in the node. Currently it evaluates if the task can be moved/swapped
for each of the cpus. However the move evaluation is mostly independent
of the cpu. Evaluating the move logic once per node, provides scope for
simplifying task_numa_compare().

Currently load_too_imbalance() cares about the slope of imbalance.
It doesn't care of the direction of the imbalance.
However this may not work if nodes that are being compared have
dissimilar capacities. Few nodes might have more cores than other nodes
in the system. Also unlike traditional load balance at a NUMA sched
domain, multiple requests to migrate from the same source node to same
destination node may run in parallel. This can cause huge load
imbalance. This is specially true on a larger machines with either large
cores per node or more number of nodes in the system. Hence allow
move/swap only if the imbalance is going to reduce.

Currently preferred node is set to dst_nid which is the last node in the
iteration whose group weight or task weight is greater than the current
node. However it doesn't guarantee that dst_nid has the numa capacity
to move. It also doesn't guarantee that dst_nid has the best_cpu which
is the cpu/node ideal for node migration.
Lets consider faults on a 4 node system with group weight numbers
in different nodes being in 0 < 1 < 2 < 3 proportion. Consider the task
is running on 3 and 0 is its preferred node but its capacity is full.
Consider nodes 1, 2 and 3 have capacity. Then the task should be
migrated to node 1. Currently the task gets moved to node 2. env.dst_nid
points to the last node whose faults were greater than current node.
Modify to set the preferred node based of best_cpu.
Also while modifying task_numa_migrate(), use sched_setnuma to set
preferred node. This ensures out numa accounting is correct.

When numa_group faults are available, task_numa_placement only uses
numa_group faults to evaluate preferred node. However it still accounts
task faults and even evaluates the preferred node just based on task
faults just to discard it in favour of preferred node chosen on the
basis of numa_group.
Instead use task faults only if numa_group is not set.

When comparing two nodes at a distance of hoplimit, we should consider
nodes only upto hoplimit. Currently we also consider nodes at hoplimit
distance too. Hence two nodes at a distance of "hoplimit" will have same
groupweight. Fix this by skipping nodes at hoplimit.

There are checks in migrate_swap_stop that check if the task/cpu
combination is as per migrate_swap_arg before migrating.
However atleast one of the two tasks to be swapped by migrate_swap could
have migrated to a completely different cpu before updating the
migrate_swap_arg. The new cpu where the task is currently running could
be a different node too. If the task has migrated, numa balancer might
end up placing a task in a wrong node. Instead of achieving node
consolidation, it may end up spreading the load across nodes.
To avoid that pass the cpus as additional parameters.
While here, place migrate_swap under CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING.

Task migration under numa balancing can happen in parallel. More than
one task might choose to migrate to the same cpu at the same time. This
can result in
- During task swap, choosing a task that was not part of the evaluation.
- During task swap, task which just got moved into its preferred node,
moving to a completely different node.
- During task swap, task failing to move to the preferred node, will have
to wait an extra interval for the next migrate opportunity.
- During task movement, multiple task movements can cause load imbalance.
This problem is more likely if there are more cores per node or more
nodes in the system.
Use a per run-queue variable to check if numa-balance is active on the

Since task migration under numa balancing can happen in parallel, more
than one task might choose to move to the same node at the same time.
This can cause load imbalances at the node level.
The problem is more likely if there are more cores per node or more
nodes in system.
Use a per-node variable to indicate if task migration
to the node under numa balance is currently active.
This per-node variable will not track swapping of tasks.

The commit does cause some performance regression but is needed from
a fairness/correctness perspective.

task_numa_find_cpu helps to find the cpu to swap/move the task.
Its guarded by numa_has_capacity(). However node not having capacity
shouldn't deter a task swapping if it helps numa placement.
Further load_too_imbalanced, which evaluates possibilities of move/swap,
provides similar checks as numa_has_capacity.
Hence remove numa_has_capacity() to enhance possibilities of task
swapping even if load is imbalanced.

Currently resetting the migrate rate limit is under a spinlock.
The spinlock will only serialize the migrate rate limiting and something
similar can actually be achieved by a simpler xchg.

The metrics for updating scan periods are local or task specific.
Currently this updation happens under numa_group lock which seems
unnecessary. Hence move this updation outside the lock.

On NUMA_BACKPLANE and NUMA_GLUELESS_MESH systems, tasks/memory should be
consolidated to the closest group of nodes. In such a case, relying on
group_fault metric may not always help to consolidate. There can always
be a case where a node closer to the preferred node may have lesser
faults than a node further away from the preferred node. In such a case,
moving to node with more faults might avoid numa consolidation.
Using group_weight would help to consolidate task/memory around the
preferred_node.
While here, to be on the conservative side, don't override migrate thread
degrades locality logic for CPU_NEWLY_IDLE load balancing.
Note: Similar problems exist with should_numa_migrate_memory and will be
dealt separately.

If a node is the destination for a task migration under numa balancing,
then any parallel movements to the node will be restricted. In such a
scenario, detect at the earliest and avoid evaluation for a task
movement.
While here, avoid task migration if the numa imbalance is very minimal.
Especially consider two tasks A and B racing with each other to find the
best cpu to swap. If task A already has found one task/cpu pair to
swap and trying to find a better cpu. Task B is yet to find a better
cpu/task to swap. Task A can race with task B and deprive it from
getting a task/cpu to swap.

This additional parameter (new_cpu) is used later for identifying if
task migration is across nodes.
No functional change.

Currently task scan rate is reset when numa balancer migrates the task
to a different node. If numa balancer initiates a swap, reset is only
applicable to the task that initiates the swap. Similarly no scan rate
reset is done if the task is migrated across nodes by traditional load
balancer.
Instead move the scan reset to the migrate_task_rq. This ensures the
task moved out of its preferred node, either gets back to its preferred
node quickly or finds a new preferred node. Doing so, would be fair to
all tasks migrating across nodes.

numa_migrate_preferred is called periodically or when task preferred
node changes. Preferred node evaluations happen once per scan sequence.
If the scan completion happens just after the periodic numa migration,
then we try to migrate to the preferred node and the preferred node might
change, needing another node migration.
Avoid this by checking for scan sequence completion only when checking
for periodic migration.

OK, the above matches the description, but I'm puzzled by the remainder:

That seems to entirely loose the active_node thing, or are you saying
best_cpu already includes that? (Changelog could use a little help there
I suppose)

Okay so are we suggesting something like the below?
if (unlikely(!sd)) {
/* Set the new preferred node */
sched_setnuma(p, task_node(p));
return -EINVAL;
}
The reason for using sched_setnuma was to make sure we account numa
tasks correctly.

I think checking for active_nodes before calling sched_setnuma was a
mistake.
Before this change, we may be retaining numa_preferred_nid to be the
source node while we select another node with better numa affinity to
run on. So we are creating a situation where we force a thread to run on
a node which is not going to be its preferred_node. So in the course of
regular load balancing, this task might then be moved to set
preferred_node which is actually not the preferred_node.

I know it looks bad, but I have been unable to figure out why this patch
affects performance. I repeated the experiment multiple times to recheck
if it was not a one off problem. While there is a variance in different
runs, we do see a change in numbers before and after this patch atleast
on my machine.

I had mentioned
"Modify to set the preferred node based of best_cpu."
I will update that to describe the situation.

Sometimes workloads are so large they get spread
around to multiple NUMA nodes.
In that case, you do NOT want all the tasks of
that workload (numa group) to try squeezing onto
the same load, only to have the load balancer
randomly move tasks off of that node again later.
How do you keep that from happening?

Just bike shedding, but it may be easier to read
if the "we found our destination" check were written
more explicitly:
if (!cur) {
if (move && imp > env->best_imp)
gote assign;
else
goto unlock;
}
Also, the "move" variable seems to indicate that
the NUMA code may move the task, but not a decision
that moving the task is better than a swap.
Would it make sense to call it "maymove"?
I like how this patch simplifies the code a little.

I guess we stopped using that when we figured out there
was no need to iterate over the tasks in a numa group.

Infact we are exactly doing this now in all cases. We are not changing
anything in the ng->active_node > 1 case. (which is the workload spread
across multiple nodes).
Earlier we would not set the numa_preferred_nid if there is only one
active node. However its not certain that the src node is the active
node. Infact its most likely not going to be src node because we
wouldn't have reached here if the task was running on the source node.
Keeping the numa_preferred_nid as the source node increases the chances
of the regular load balancer randomly moving tasks from the node. Now
we are making sure task_node(p) and numa_preferred_nid. Hence we would
reduce the risk of moving to a random node.
Hope this is clear.

Does it help any "real workloads", even simple things
like SpecJBB2005?
If this patch only causes regressions, and does not help
any workloads, I would argue that it is not in fact needed.

Indeed, it looks like update_task_scan_period does
not look at any numa_group numbers (any more?).

While this is better in principle, in practice
task/group_weight is a LOT more expensive to
calculate than just comparing the faults.
This may be too expensive to do in the load
balancing code.
This patch regressed performance in your synthetic
test. How does it do for "real workload" style
benchmarks?

Note that both are in fact wrong. That wants to be something like:
pgdat->numabalancing_migrate_next_window += interval;
Otherwise you stretch every interval by 'jiffies - numabalancing_migrate_next_window'.
Also, that all wants READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE, irrespective of the
spinlock/xchg.
I suppose the problem here is that PPC has a very nasty test-and-set
spinlock with fwd progress issues while xchg maps to a fairly simple
ll/sc that (hopefully) has some hardware fairness.
And pgdata being a rather course data structure (per node?) there could
be a lot of CPUs stomping on this here thing.
So simpler not really, but better for PPC.

Why not do this check in task_numa_find_cpu?
That way you won't have to pass this in as a
pointer, and you also will not have to recalculate
NODE_DATA(cpu_to_node(env->dst_cpu)) for every CPU.

I can see a use for the first test, but why limit the
search for the best score once you are past the
threshold?
I don't understand the use for that second test.
What workload benefits from it?

How does this impact performance of benchmarks
closer to real world workloads?

I thought about this. Lets say we evaluated that destination node can
allow movement. While we iterate through the list of cpus trying to find
the best cpu node, we find a idle cpu towards the end of the list.
However if another task as already raced with us to move a task to this
node, then we should bail out. Keeping the check in task_numa_compare
will allow us to do this.

Lets say few threads are racing with each other to find a cpu on the
node. The first thread has already found a task/cpu 'A' to swap and
finds another task/cpu 'B' thats slightly better than the current
best_cpu which is 'A'. Currently we allow the second task/cpu 'B' to be
set as best_cpu. However the second or subsequent threads cannot find
the first task/cpu A because its suppose to be in active migration. By
the time it reaches task/cpu B even that may look to be in active
migration. It may never know that task/cpu A was cleared. In this way,
the second and subsequent threads may not get a task/cpu in the
preferred node to swap just because the first task kept hopping task/cpu
as its choice of migration.
While we can't complete avoid this, the second check will try to make
sure we don't hop on/hop off just for small incremental numa
improvement.

unsigned long interval = READ_ONCE(pgdat->numabalancing_migrate_next_window);
if (time_after(jiffies, interval)) {
interval += msecs_to_jiffies(migrate_interval_millisecs));

Something like this?

Note that in practise it probably doesn't matter, but it just upsets my

Almost, you forgot about the case where 'jiffies -
numabalancing_migrate_next_window > interval'.
That wants to be something like:
unsigned long timo = READ_ONCE(stupid_long_name);
if (time_after(jiffies, timo) && xchg(&other_long_name, 0)) {
do {
timo += msec_to_jiffies(..);
} while (unlikely(time_after(jiffies, timo);
WRITE_ONCE(stupid_long_name, timo);
}

FWIW, I had noticed a similar problem when selecting an idle CPU for
SIS. When prototying something to look at nearby CPUs for cross-node
migrations during wake_affine I found that the patch allowed multiple
tasks to select the same CPU when a waker was waking many wakees and
ultimately dropped the patch.
Either way for this patch;

While it may cause some performance regressions, it may be due to either
a) some workloads benefit from overloading a node if the tasks idle
frequently or b) the regression may be due to delayed convergence. I'm
not 100% convinced this needs to be done from a correctness point of
view based on just this microbenchmark

By and large you need to be very careful resetting the scan rate without
a lot of justification and I don't think this is enough. With scan rate
resets, there is a significant risk that system CPU overhead is
increased to do the page table updates and handle the resulting minor
faults. There are cases where tasks can get pulled cross-node very
frequently and we do not want NUMA balancing scanning agressively when
that happens.

Your check is called once for every invocation
of task_numa_compare. It does not matter whether
it is inside or outside, except on the outside
the variable manipulation will be easier to read.

However, all those racing tasks start searching
the CPUs on a node from the same start position.
That means they may all get stuck on the same
task/cpu A, and not select the better task/cpu B.
What am I missing?

Okay I mistook your comment; Basically you want the check to be moved
within the for-loop in task_numa_find_cpu.
I will do the needful.

All tasks will not be stuck at task/cpu A.
"[PATCH 10/19] sched/numa: Stop multiple tasks from moving to the
cpu..." the first task to set cpu A as swap target will ensure
subsequent tasks wont be allowed to set cpu A as target for swap till it
finds a better task/cpu. Because of this there a very very small chance
of a second task unable to find a task to swap.

I agree with your thoughts here. I will try to see if there are other
workloads that benefit from this change. My rational for this change
being, because a workload consolidated and slowed down its scanning
shouldn't adversely affect it from coming back to its preferred node.

Would it not be better for task_numa_compare to skip
from consideration CPUs that somebody else is already
trying to migrate a task to, but still search for the
best location, instead of settling for a worse location
to migrate to?

Yes its better to skip cpus if they are already in migration.
And we are already doing it with the above patch. However as I said
earlier
- Task T1 sets Cpu 1 as best_cpu,
- Task T2 finds cpu1 and skips Cpu1
- Task T1 finds cpu2 slightly better than cpu1.
- Task T1 resets cpu1 as best_cpu, sets best_cpu as cpu2.
- Task T2 finds cpu2 and skips cpu2
- Task T1 finds cpu3 as best_cpu slightly better than cpu2.
- Task T1 resets cpu2 as best_cpu, sets best_cpu as cpu3.
- Task T2 finds cpu3 and skips cpu3
So after this T1 was able to find a cpu but T2 couldn't find a cpu even
though there were 3 cpus that were available for 2 task to swap.
Again, this is too corner case, that I am okay to drop.

Not only is that above race highly unlikely, it is also
still possible with your patch applied, if the scores
between cpu1, cpu2, and cpu3 differ by more than
SMALLIMP/2.
Not only is this patch some weird magic that makes the
code harder to maintain (since its purpose does not match
what the code actually does), but it also does not
reliably do what you intend it to do.
We may be better off not adding this bit of complexity.
