Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] Improve scheduler scalability for fast path
Date: Sat,  8 Jun 2019 18:49:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190609014954.1033-1-subhra.mazumdar@oracle.com> (raw)

Current select_idle_sibling first tries to find a fully idle core using
select_idle_core which can potentially search all cores and if it fails it
finds any idle cpu using select_idle_cpu. select_idle_cpu can potentially
search all cpus in the llc domain. This doesn't scale for large llc domains
and will only get worse with more cores in future.

This patch solves the scalability problem by:
 - Setting an upper and lower limit of idle cpu search in select_idle_cpu
   to keep search time low and constant
 - Adding a new sched feature SIS_CORE to disable select_idle_core

Additionally it also introduces a new per-cpu variable next_cpu to track
the limit of search so that every time search starts from where it ended.
This rotating search window over cpus in LLC domain ensures that idle
cpus are eventually found in case of high load.

Following are the performance numbers with various benchmarks with SIS_CORE
true (idle core search enabled).

Changes from v2->v3:
-Use shift operator instead of multiplication to compute limit
-Use per-CPU variable to precompute the number of sibling SMTs for x86

subhra mazumdar (7):
  sched: limit cpu search in select_idle_cpu
  sched: introduce per-cpu var next_cpu to track search limit
  sched: rotate the cpu search window for better spread
  sched: add sched feature to disable idle core search
  sched: SIS_CORE to disable idle core search
  x86/smpboot: introduce per-cpu variable for HT siblings
  sched: use per-cpu variable cpumask_weight_sibling
