The consequence is that the migration scanners move forward uselessly while still contending on locks for longer while leaving suitable migration sources behind. This patch will acquire the lock but track when contention occurs. When it does, the current pageblock will finish as compaction may succeed for that block and then abort. This will have a variable impact on latency as in some cases useless scanning is avoided (reduces latency) but a lock will be contended (increase latency) or a single contended pageblock is scanned that would otherwise have been skipped (increase latency). 4.20.0 4.20.0 norescan-v2r15 finishcontend-v2r15 Amean fault-both-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 * 0.00%* Amean fault-both-3 2872.13 ( 0.00%) 2973.08 ( -3.51%) Amean fault-both-5 4330.56 ( 0.00%) 3870.19 ( 10.63%) Amean fault-both-7 6496.63 ( 0.00%) 6580.50 ( -1.29%) Amean fault-both-12 10280.59 ( 0.00%) 9527.40 ( 7.33%) Amean fault-both-18 11079.19 ( 0.00%) 13395.86 * -20.91%* Amean fault-both-24 17207.80 ( 0.00%) 14936.94 * 13.20%* Amean fault-both-30 17736.13 ( 0.00%) 16748.46 ( 5.57%) Amean fault-both-32 18509.41 ( 0.00%) 18521.30 ( -0.06%) 4.20.0 4.20.0 norescan-v2r15 finishcontend-v2r15 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Percentage huge-3 96.87 ( 0.00%) 97.57 ( 0.72%) Percentage huge-5 94.63 ( 0.00%) 96.88 ( 2.39%) Percentage huge-7 93.83 ( 0.00%) 95.47 ( 1.74%) Percentage huge-12 92.65 ( 0.00%) 98.64 ( 6.47%) Percentage huge-18 93.66 ( 0.00%) 98.33 ( 4.98%) Percentage huge-24 93.15 ( 0.00%) 98.88 ( 6.15%) Percentage huge-30 93.16 ( 0.00%) 97.09 ( 4.21%) Percentage huge-32 92.58 ( 0.00%) 96.20 ( 3.92%) As expected, a variable impact on latency while allocation success rates are slightly higher. System CPU usage is reduced by about 10% but scan rate impact is mixed Compaction migrate scanned 31772603 19980216 Compaction free scanned 63267928 120381828 Migration scan rates are reduced 37% which is expected as a pageblock is used by the async scanner instead of skipped but the free scanning is increased. This can be partially accounted for by the increased success rate but also by the fact that the scanners do not meet for longer when pageblocks are actually used. Overall this is justified and completing a pageblock scan is very important for later patches.
