I'm not engaging on the utility/relevance of the patch-set, but I tried them on an arm64 system with the 'numa=fake=2' parameter and could not see 2 nodes being created under: /sys/devices/system/node/ Indeed it seems that even though numa_emulation() is moved to a generic mm/numa.c file, the function is only called from: arch/x86/mm/numa.c:numa_init() (or maybe I'm misinterpreting the intent of the patches). Also I had the following errors when building (still for arm64): mm/numa.c:862:8: error: implicit declaration of function 'early_cpu_to_node' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration] nid = early_cpu_to_node(cpu); ^ mm/numa.c:862:8: note: did you mean 'early_map_cpu_to_node'? ./include/asm-generic/numa.h:37:13: note: 'early_map_cpu_to_node' declared here void __init early_map_cpu_to_node(unsigned int cpu, int nid); ^ mm/numa.c:874:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'debug_cpumask_set_cpu' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration] debug_cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, nid, enable); ^ mm/numa.c:874:3: note: did you mean '__cpumask_set_cpu'? ./include/linux/cpumask.h:474:29: note: '__cpumask_set_cpu' declared here static __always_inline void __cpumask_set_cpu(unsigned int cpu, struct cpumask *dstp) ^ 2 errors generated.

I should mention this in previous brief introduction: acpi=on numa=fake=2. The default patch of arm64 numa initialize is numa_init() -> dummy_numa_init() if turn off acpi (this path has not been taken into account yet in this patch, next will to do). What's more, if you test these patchset in qemu-kvm, you should add below parameters in the script. object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=32G \ numa node,memdev=mem0,cpus=0-7,nodeid=0 \ (Above parameters just make sure SRAT table has NUMA configure, avoiding path of numa_init() -> dummy_numa_init()) > see 2 nodes being created under: > /sys/devices/system/node/ > Indeed it seems that even though numa_emulation() is moved to a generic > mm/numa.c file, the function is only called from: > arch/x86/mm/numa.c:numa_init() > (or maybe I'm misinterpreting the intent of the patches). Here drivers/base/arch_numa.c:numa_init() has called numa_emulation() (I guess it works if you add acpi=on :-)). > > Also I had the following errors when building (still for arm64): > mm/numa.c:862:8: error: implicit declaration of function > 'early_cpu_to_node' is invalid in C99 > [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration] > nid = early_cpu_to_node(cpu); It seems CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS enabled in your environment? You can disable CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS and test it again. I have not test it with CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS enabled. It's very helpful, I will fix it next time.

I don't see numa_emulation() being called from drivers/base/arch_numa.c:numa_init() I have: $ git grep numa_emulation arch/x86/mm/numa.c: numa_emulation(&numa_meminfo, numa_distance_cnt); arch/x86/mm/numa_internal.h:extern void __init numa_emulation(struct numa_meminfo *numa_meminfo, include/asm-generic/numa.h:void __init numa_emulation(struct numa_meminfo *numa_meminfo, mm/numa.c:/* Most of this file comes from x86/numa_emulation.c */ mm/numa.c: * numa_emulation - Emulate NUMA nodes mm/numa.c:void __init numa_emulation(struct numa_meminfo *numa_meminfo, int numa_dist_cnt) so from this, an arm64-based platform should not be able to call numa_emulation(). Is it possible to add a call to dump_stack() in numa_emulation() to see the call stack ?

A brief introduction ==================== The NUMA emulation can fake more node base on a single node system, e.g. one node system: [root@localhost ~]# numactl -H available: 1 nodes (0) node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 node 0 size: 31788 MB node 0 free: 31446 MB node distances: node 0 0: 10 add numa=fake=2 (fake 2 node on each origin node): [root@localhost ~]# numactl -H available: 2 nodes (0-1) node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 node 0 size: 15806 MB node 0 free: 15451 MB node 1 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 node 1 size: 16029 MB node 1 free: 15989 MB node distances: node 0 1 0: 10 10 1: 10 10 As above shown, a new node has been faked. As cpus, the realization of x86 NUMA emulation is kept. Maybe each node should has 4 cores is better (not sure, next to do if so). Why do this =========== It seems has following reasons: (1) In x86 host, apply NUMA emulation can fake more nodes environment to test or verify some performance stuff, but arm64 only has one method that modify ACPI table to do this. It's troublesome more or less. (2) Reduce competition for some locks. Here an example we found: will-it-scale/tlb_flush1_processes -t 96 -s 10, it shows obvious hotspot on lruvec->lock when test in single environment. What's more, The performance improved greatly if test in two more nodes system. The data shows below (more is better): --------------------------------------------------------------------- threads/process | 1 | 12 | 24 | 48 | 96 --------------------------------------------------------------------- one node | 14 1122 | 110 5372 | 111 2615 | 79 7084 | 72 4516 --------------------------------------------------------------------- numa=fake=2 | 14 1168 | 144 4848 | 215 9070 | 157 0412 | 142 3968 --------------------------------------------------------------------- | For concurrency 12, no lruvec->lock hotspot. For 24, hotspot | one node has 24% hotspot on lruvec->lock, but | two nodes env hasn't. --------------------------------------------------------------------- As for risks (e.g. numa balance...), they need to be discussed here. Lastly, this just is a draft, I can improve next if it's acceptable. Thanks!
