Rate limiting of page migrations due to automatic NUMA balancing was
introduced to mitigate the worst-case scenario of migrating at high
frequency due to false sharing or slowly ping-ponging between nodes.
Since then, a lot of effort was spent on correctly identifying these
pages and avoiding unnecessary migrations and the safety net may no longer
be required.
Jirka Hladky reported a regression in 4.17 due to a scheduler patch that
avoids spreading STREAM tasks wide prematurely. However, once the task
was properly placed, it delayed migrating the memory due to rate limiting.
Increasing the limit fixed the problem for him.
Currently, the limit is hard-coded and does not account for the real
capabilities of the hardware. Even if an estimate was attempted, it would
not properly account for the number of memory controllers and it could
not account for the amount of bandwidth used for normal accesses. Rather
than fudging, this patch simply eliminates the rate limiting.
However, Jirka reports that a STREAM configuration using multiple
processes achieved similar performance to 4.16. In local tests, this patch
improved performance of STREAM relative to the baseline but it is somewhat
machine-dependent. Most workloads show little or not performance difference
implying that there is not a heavily reliance on the throttling mechanism
and it is safe to remove.
