Mel Gorman 074c238177 mm: numa: slow PTE scan rate if migration failures occur ... Dave Chinner reported the following on https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226 Across the board the 4.0-rc1 numbers are much slower, and the degradation is far worse when using the large memory footprint configs. Perf points straight at the cause - this is from 4.0-rc1 on the "-o bhash=101073" config: - 56.07% 56.07% [kernel] [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys - default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys - 99.99% physflat_send_IPI_mask - 99.37% native_send_call_func_ipi smp_call_function_many - native_flush_tlb_others - 99.85% flush_tlb_page ptep_clear_flush try_to_unmap_one rmap_walk try_to_unmap migrate_pages migrate_misplaced_page - handle_mm_fault - 99.73% __do_page_fault trace_do_page_fault do_async_page_fault + async_page_fault 0.63% native_send_call_func_single_ipi generic_exec_single smp_call_function_single This is showing excessive migration activity even though excessive migrations are meant to get throttled. Normally, the scan rate is tuned on a per-task basis depending on the locality of faults. However, if migrations fail for any reason then the PTE scanner may scan faster if the faults continue to be remote. This means there is higher system CPU overhead and fault trapping at exactly the time we know that migrations cannot happen. This patch tracks when migration failures occur and slows the PTE scanner.
