Series NUMA balancing: optimize memory placement for memory tiering system | expand

Commit Message

Huang, Ying March 1, 2022, 8:53 a.m. UTC
If the NUMA balancing isn't used to optimize the page placement among
sockets but only among memory types, the hot pages in the fast memory
node couldn't be migrated (promoted) to anywhere.  So it's unnecessary
to scan the pages in the fast memory node via changing their PTE/PMD
mapping to be PROT_NONE.  So that the page faults could be avoided
too.

In the test, if only the memory tiering NUMA balancing mode is enabled, the
number of the NUMA balancing hint faults for the DRAM node is reduced to
almost 0 with the patch.  While the benchmark score doesn't change
visibly.
