So in this patch, a method to adjust the hot threshold automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit. If the hint page fault latency of a page is less than the hot threshold, we will try to promote the page, and the page is called the candidate promotion page. If the number of the candidate promotion pages in the statistics interval is much more than the promotion rate limit, the hot threshold will be decreased to reduce the number of the candidate promotion pages. Otherwise, the hot threshold will be increased to increase the number of the candidate promotion pages. To make the above method works, in each statistics interval, the total number of the pages to check (on which the hint page faults occur) and the hot/cold distribution need to be stable. Because the page tables are scanned linearly in NUMA balancing, but the hot/cold distribution isn't uniform along the address, the statistics interval should be larger than the NUMA balancing scan period. So in the patch, the max scan period is used as statistics interval and it works well in our tests. The sysctl knob kernel.numa_balancing_hot_threshold_ms becomes the initial value and max value of the hot threshold. The patch improves the score of pmbench memory accessing benchmark with 80:20 read/write ratio and normal access address distribution by 3.9% with 32.4% fewer NUMA page migrations on a 2 socket Intel server with Optance DC Persistent Memory. Because it improves the accuracy of the hot page selection.
