Further, how do you changes interact with other callers of qemu_prealloc_mem(), like virtio-mem?

Once we have parsed all the command line args, we set prealloc_init = true (wait_mem_prealloc_init()) which causes all subsequent calls to qemu_prealloc_mem() to perform initialization synchronously. So, I *think* this covers the virtio-mem use case. Am I missing something? Thanks/regards, -Mark

So, I > *think* this covers the virtio-mem use case. Am I missing something? Good, so this should likely not affect virtio-mem (which also ends up preallocating memory when loading from a vmstate). To make this all a bit clearer, what about the following to make this: * Optimize for MADV_POPULATE_WRITE. If we really need support for !MADV_POPULATE_WRITE, this is better added on top later. * Pass in via a parameter that the caller requests async handling. "bool async" should be good enough. Then, pass that only from the memory backend call, while QEMU is still initializing (we can find a way to make that work). * Provide a function that waits for any remaining async os-mem-prealloc activity. That is essentially "wait_mem_prealloc_init", but without the special internal flag handling. Further, I do wonder if we want to make that behavior configurable. For example, one might want to initialize backends sequentially using 16 threads max, instead of consuming multiple times 16 threads concurrently. Could either be a machine option or a memory backend option (async-prealloc=on). Once hotplugging such backends, we would disable it for now, but could allow it in the future.

Seems to me that no matter what parallelisation we use (within mem regions, or across mem regions, or a mix of both), we should never use more threads than there are host CPUs. Can we have a pool of threads sized per available host CPUs that QEMU can access. Then for each memory backend fire off a set of init jobs that get distributed to "appropriate" threads in the pool. By appropriate I mean threads with the same NUMA affinity as the memory backend. This would give parallelisation both within a single large memory region, as well as across memory regions. eg 4 host CPUs, 3 memory regions (1GB for 1st numa node, 1GB for 2nd numa node, and 1 GB with no numa affinity). If we spread the init work then we end up with 1st thread gets 500MB to init from 1st memory region, and 250MB to init from 3rd memory region 2st thread gets 500MB to init from 1st memory region, and 250MB to init from 3rd memory region 3st thread gets 500MB to init from 2nd memory region, and 250MB to init from 3rd memory region 4th thread gets 500MB to init from 2nd memory region, and 250MB to init from 3rd memory region > Could > either be a machine option or a memory backend option (async-prealloc=on). > Once hotplugging such backends, we would disable it for now, but could allow > it in the future. IMHO "do the right thing" without user config is preferrable to adding yet more cli options here. With regards, Daniel

As such, unless you feel strongly about it, I'm inclined to leave additional enhancements (thread pool) as a future project. Since multiple NUMA node configs are the primary motivation for parallel init, I do wonder if it should *only* be used in conjunction with prealloc context. Perhaps we should have parallel init only enabled for memory regions with prealloc context?

It's uncommon to have many memory backends target the same NUMA node such that you would want to use pooling. Usually, you'd expect in most vNUMA setups to have, say, 1 memory backend per vNUMA node that is mapped to some NUMA nodes in the parent. Using prealloc contexts you can make sure that preallocating each individual one gets the right CPU affinity. Setting the prealloc threads you can limit the number of threads used per memory backend. > > Since multiple NUMA node configs are the primary motivation for parallel > init, I do wonder if it should *only* be used in conjunction > with prealloc context.

Refactor the memory prealloc threads support: - Make memset context a global qlist - Move the memset thread join/cleanup code to a separate routine This is functionally equivalent and facilitates multiple memset contexts (used in a subsequent patch).
