[driver-core PATCH v3 0/5] Add NUMA aware async_schedule calls

[Alexander Duyck]

This patch set provides functionality that will help to improve the
locality of the async_schedule calls used to provide deferred
initialization.

This patch set originally started out with me focused on just the one call
to async_schedule_domain in the nvdimm tree that was being used to
defer the device_add call however after doing some digging I realized the
scope of this was much broader than I had originally planned. As such I
went through and reworked the underlying infrastructure down to replacing
the queue_work call itself with a function of my own and opted to try and
provide a NUMA aware solution that would work for a broader audience.

Ideally this solution should be agnostic enough that it can be used for any
given device type. So ideally we shouldn't need to implement one-off
solutions for each bus as has already kind of happened in the PCI tree with
pci_call_probe.

RFC->v1:
    Dropped nvdimm patch to submit later.
		It relies on code in libnvdimm development tree.
    Simplified queue_work_near to just convert node into a CPU.
    Split up drivers core and PM core patches.
v1->v2:
    Renamed queue_work_near to queue_work_node
    Added WARN_ON_ONCE if we use queue_work_node with per-cpu workqueue
v2->v3:
    Added Acked-by for queue_work_node patch
    Continued rename from _near to _node for consistency with queue_work_node
        Renamed async_schedule_near_domain to async_schedule_node_domain
        Renamed async_schedule_near to async_schedule_node
    Added kerneldoc for new async_schedule_XXX functions
    Added nvdimm boot time improvement data to description of patch 4

[driver-core PATCH v3 1/5] workqueue: Provide queue_work_node to queue work near a given NUMA node

[Alexander Duyck]

This patch provides a new function queue_work_node which is meant to
schedule work on a "random" CPU of the requested NUMA node. The main
motivation for this is to help assist asynchronous init to better improve
boot times for devices that are local to a specific node.

For now we just default to the first CPU that is in the intersection of the
cpumask of the node and the online cpumask. The only exception is if the
CPU is local to the node we will just use the current CPU. This should work
for our purposes as we are currently only using this for unbound work so
the CPU will be translated to a node anyway instead of being directly used.

As we are only using the first CPU to represent the NUMA node for now I am
limiting the scope of the function so that it can only be used with unbound
workqueues.

[driver-core PATCH v3 2/5] async: Add support for queueing on specific NUMA node

[Alexander Duyck]

This patch introduces four new variants of the async_schedule_ functions
that allow scheduling on a specific NUMA node.

The first two functions are async_schedule_near and
async_schedule_near_domain which end up mapping to async_schedule and
async_schedule_domain but provide NUMA node specific functionality. They
replace the original functions which were moved to inline function
definitions that call the new functions while passing NUMA_NO_NODE.

The second two functions are async_schedule_dev and
async_schedule_dev_domain which provide NUMA specific functionality when
passing a device as the data member and that device has a NUMA node other
than NUMA_NO_NODE.

The main motivation behind this is to address the need to be able to
schedule device specific init work on specific NUMA nodes in order to
improve performance of memory initialization.

[driver-core PATCH v3 3/5] driver core: Probe devices asynchronously instead of the driver

[Alexander Duyck]

This change makes it so that we probe devices asynchronously instead of the
driver. This results in us seeing the same behavior if the device is
registered before the driver or after. This way we can avoid serializing
the initialization should the driver not be loaded until after the devices
have already been added.

The motivation behind this is that if we have a set of devices that
take a significant amount of time to load we can greatly reduce the time to
load by processing them in parallel instead of one at a time. In addition,
each device can exist on a different node so placing a single thread on one
CPU to initialize all of the devices for a given driver can result in poor
performance on a system with multiple nodes.

One issue I can see with this patch is that I am using the
dev_set/get_drvdata functions to store the driver in the device while I am
waiting on the asynchronous init to complete. For now I am protecting it by
using the lack of a dev->driver and the device lock.

[driver-core PATCH v3 4/5] driver core: Attach devices on CPU local to device node

[Alexander Duyck]

This change makes it so that we call the asynchronous probe routines on a
CPU local to the device node. By doing this we should be able to improve
our initialization time significantly as we can avoid having to access the
device from a remote node which may introduce higher latency.

For example, in the case of initializing memory for NVDIMM this can have a
singifcant impact as initialing 3TB on remote node can take up to 39
seconds while initialing it on a local node only takes 23 seconds. It is
situations like this where we will see the biggest improvement.

[driver-core PATCH v3 5/5] PM core: Use new async_schedule_dev command

[Alexander Duyck]

This change makes it so that we use the device specific version of the
async_schedule commands to defer various tasks related to power management.
By doing this we should see a slight improvement in performance as any
device that is sensitive to latency/locality in the setup will now be
initializing on the node closest to the device.

The above duplicates some code from __driver_attach().

You could avoid that by adding one more function to call directly from
__driver_attach() in the "sync" case and from here, along the lines of
what the PM code does.
