Libo Chen 1f6c6ac03d sched/numa: skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems
Patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA
node via cpuset.mems", v5.


This patch (of 2):

When the memory of the current task is pinned to one NUMA node by cgroup,
there is no point in continuing the rest of VMA scanning and hinting page
faults as they will just be overhead.  With this change, there will be no
more unnecessary PTE updates or page faults in this scenario.

We have seen up to a 6x improvement on a typical java workload running on
VMs with memory and CPU pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset in a two-socket
AARCH64 system.  With the same pinning, on a 18-cores-per-socket Intel
platform, we have seen 20% improvment in a microbench that creates a
30-vCPU selftest KVM guest with 4GB memory, where each vCPU reads 4KB
pages in a fixed number of loops.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
