Mel Gorman e496132ebe sched/fair: Adjust the allowed NUMA imbalance when SD_NUMA spans multiple LLCs 
Commit 7d2b5dd0bc ("sched/numa: Allow a floating imbalance between NUMA
nodes") allowed an imbalance between NUMA nodes such that communicating
tasks would not be pulled apart by the load balancer. This works fine when
there is a 1:1 relationship between LLC and node but can be suboptimal
for multiple LLCs if independent tasks prematurely use CPUs sharing cache.

Zen* has multiple LLCs per node with local memory channels and due to
the allowed imbalance, it's far harder to tune some workloads to run
optimally than it is on hardware that has 1 LLC per node. This patch
allows an imbalance to exist up to the point where LLCs should be balanced
between nodes.

On a Zen3 machine running STREAM parallelised with OMP to have on instance
per LLC the results and without binding, the results are

STREAM can use directives to force the spread if the OpenMP is new
enough but that doesn't help if an application uses threads and
it's not known in advance how many threads will be created.

Coremark is a CPU and cache intensive benchmark parallelised with
threads. When running with 1 thread per core, the vanilla kernel
allows threads to contend on cache. With the patch;

It can also make a big difference for semi-realistic workloads
like specjbb which can execute arbitrary numbers of threads without
advance knowledge of how they should be placed. Even in cases where
the average performance is neutral, the results are more stable.

Similarly, for embarassingly parallel problems like NPB-ep, there are
improvements due to better spreading across LLC when the machine is not
fully utilised.
