From 45b07ef31d1182d2cfde7711327e3afb268bb1ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Jackson Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2006 01:00:56 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] cpusets: swap migration interface Add a boolean "memory_migrate" to each cpuset, represented by a file containing "0" or "1" in each directory below /dev/cpuset. It defaults to false (file contains "0"). It can be set true by writing "1" to the file. If true, then anytime that a task is attached to the cpuset so marked, the pages of that task will be moved to that cpuset, preserving, to the extent practical, the cpuset-relative placement of the pages. Also anytime that a cpuset so marked has its memory placement changed (by writing to its "mems" file), the tasks in that cpuset will have their pages moved to the cpusets new nodes, preserving, to the extent practical, the cpuset-relative placement of the moved pages.

This is done to avoid impacting the scheduler code in the kernel with a check for changes in a tasks processor placement. +Normally, once a page is allocated (given a physical page +of main memory) then that page stays on whatever node it +was allocated, so long as it remains allocated, even if the +cpusets memory placement policy 'mems' subsequently changes. +If the cpuset flag file 'memory_migrate' is set true, then when +tasks are attached to that cpuset, any pages that task had +allocated to it on nodes in its previous cpuset are migrated +to the tasks new cpuset. Depending on the implementation, +this migration may either be done by swapping the page out, +so that the next time the page is referenced, it will be paged +into the tasks new cpuset, usually on the node where it was +referenced, or this migration may be done by directly copying +the pages from the tasks previous cpuset to the new cpuset, +where possible to the same node, relative to the new cpuset, +as the node that held the page, relative to the old cpuset. +Also if 'memory_migrate' is set true, then if that cpusets +'mems' file is modified, pages allocated to tasks in that +cpuset, that were on nodes in the previous setting of 'mems', +will be moved to nodes in the new setting of 'mems.' Again, +depending on the implementation, this might be done by swapping, +or by direct copying. In either case, pages that were not in +the tasks prior cpuset, or in the cpusets prior 'mems' setting, +will not be moved. + There is an exception to the above.
