sfc: NUMA support
Subsystems (3)
cover sfc: NUMA support
This patch series adds support for
- allocating rx pages local to the interrupt
- setting affinity hint to influence IRQs to be allocated on the same NUMA node as the one where the card resides.
Alexandra Kossovsky (1):
sfc: use __GFP_NOWARN when allocating RX pages from atomic context.
Bert Kenward (2):
sfc: Use cpu_to_mem() to support memoryless nodes
sfc: set and clear interrupt affinity hints
Daniel Pieczko (1):
sfc: allocate rx pages on the same node as the interrupt

PATCH 1/4 sfc: use __GFP_NOWARN when allocating RX pages from atomic context.
From: Alexandra Kossovsky <[email protected]>
If we fail to allocate a page when in atomic context this is handled by scheduling a fill in non-atomic context. As such, a warning is not needed.

PATCH 2/4 sfc: allocate rx pages on the same node as the interrupt
In reply to Shradha ShahFrom: Daniel Pieczko <[email protected]>
When the interrupt servicing a channel is on a NUMA node that is not local to the device, performance is improved by allocating rx pages on the node local to the interrupt (remote to the device)
The performance-optimal case, where interrupts and applications are pinned to CPUs on the same node as the device, is not altered by this change.
This change gave a 1% improvement in transaction rate using Nginx with all interrupts and Nginx threads on the node remote to the device. It also gave a small reduction in round-trip latency, again with the interrupt and application on a different node to the device.
Allocating rx pages based on the channel->irq_node value is only valid for the initial driver-load interrupt affinities; if an interrupt is moved later, the wrong node may be used for the allocation.

Sorry, I do not understand this patch, and why the following one is not squashed on this one.
irq_node is always NUMA_NO_NODE (in this patch)
So you claim a 1% improvement, switching from alloc_pages(...) to alloc_pages_node(NUMA_NO_NODE, ...) ???

You're correct that this doesn't make sense as it is. There is something missing in this patch (channel->irq_node should be set) and also changing the order of some patches could make this clearer. The series will need to be resent.

PATCH 3/4 sfc: Use cpu_to_mem() to support memoryless nodes
In reply to Shradha ShahFrom: Bert Kenward <[email protected]>
With CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES cpu_to_node() may return nodes without memory, which is not a good choice when later using that to allocate memory. cpu_to_mem() instead provides the most appropriate NUMA node to allocate from.

PATCH 4/4 sfc: set and clear interrupt affinity hints
In reply to Shradha ShahFrom: Bert Kenward <[email protected]>
Use cpumask_local_spread to provide interrupt affinity hints for each queue. This will spread interrupts across NUMA local CPUs first, extending to remote nodes if needed.
