[PATCH v3] sched/topology: fix the issue groups don't span domain->span for NUMA diameter > 2
As long as NUMA diameter > 2, building sched_domain by sibling's child domain will definitely create a sched_domain with sched_group which will span out of the sched_domain: +------+ +------+ +-------+ +------+ | node | 12 |node | 20 | node | 12 |node | | 0 +---------+1 +--------+ 2 +-------+3 | +------+ +------+ +-------+ +------+ domain0 node0 node1 node2 node3 domain1 node0+1 node0+1 node2+3 node2+3 + domain2 node0+1+2 | group: node0+1 | group:node2+3 <-------------------+ when node2 is added into the domain2 of node0, kernel is using the child domain of node2's domain2, which is domain1(node2+3). Node 3 is outside the span of the domain including node0+1+2. This will make load_balance() run based on screwed avg_load and group_type in the sched_group spanning out of the sched_domain, and it also makes select_task_rq_fair() pick an idle CPU outside the sched_domain. Real servers which suffer from this problem include Kunpeng920 and 8-node Sun Fire X4600-M2, at least. Here we move to use the *child* domain of the *child* domain of node2's domain2 as the new added sched_group. At the same, we re-use the lower level sgc directly. +------+ +------+ +-------+ +------+ | node | 12 |node | 20 | node | 12 |node | | 0 +---------+1 +--------+ 2 +-------+3 | +------+ +------+

when node2 is added into the domain2 of node0, kernel is using the child domain of node2's domain2, which is domain1(node2+3). Node 3 is outside the span of the domain including node0+1+2.
This will make load_balance() run based on screwed avg_load and group_type in the sched_group spanning out of the sched_domain, and it also makes select_task_rq_fair() pick an idle CPU outside the sched_domain.
Real servers which suffer from this problem include Kunpeng920 and 8-node Sun Fire X4600-M2, at least.
Here we move to use the *child* domain of the *child* domain of node2's domain2 as the new added sched_group. At the same, we re-use the lower level sgc directly.
Have you evaluated the impact on the imbalance and next_update fields ?

Have you evaluated the impact on the imbalance and next_update fields ?
sgc->next_update is safe since it's only touched by CPUs that have the group span as local group (which is never the case for CPUs where we do this "grandchildren" trick). I'm a bit less clear about sgc->imbalance. I think it can be set by remote CPUs, but it should only be cleared when running load_balance() by CPUs that have that group span as local group, as per: int *group_imbalance = &sd_parent->groups->sgc->imbalance;

It would be good to explain this in the commit message

int *group_imbalance = &sd_parent->groups->sgc->imbalance;
We are also safe because sd_parent remains the same as the beg of load_balance and LB only tries other CPUs from the local group

I did a rudimentary benchmark on the same 8-node Sun Fire X4600-M2, on top of todays 5.11.0-rc7-00002-ge0756cfc7d7c.
The test: building clean kernel with make -j64 after make clean and drop_caches.
While running clean kernel / 3 tries):
real 2m38.574s user 46m18.387s sys 6m8.724s
real 2m37.647s user 46m34.171s sys 6m11.993s
real 2m37.832s user 46m34.910s sys 6m12.013s
While running patched kernel:
real 2m40.072s user 46m22.610s sys 6m6.658s
for real time, seems to be 1.5s-2s slower out of 160s (noise?) User and system time are slightly less, on the other hand, so seems good to me.
I ran the same test on the machine with the below topology: numactl --hardware available: 4 nodes (0-3) node 0 cpus: 0-31 node 0 size: 64144 MB node 0 free: 62356 MB node 1 cpus: 32-63 node 1 size: 64509 MB node 1 free: 62996 MB node 2 cpus: 64-95 node 2 size: 64509 MB node 2 free: 63020 MB node 3 cpus: 96-127 node 3 size: 63991 MB node 3 free: 62647 MB node distances: node 0 1 2 3 0: 10 12 20 22 1: 12 10 22 24 2: 20 22 10 12 3: 22 24 12 10 Basically the influence to kernel build is noise by the commands I ran a couple of rounds: make clean echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches make Image -j100 w/ patch: w/o patch: real 1m17.644s real 1m19.510s user 32m12.074s user 32m14.133s sys 4m35.827s sys 4m38.198s real 1m15.855s real 1m17.303s user 32m7.700s user 32m14.128s sys 4m35.868s sys 4m40.094s real 1m18.918s real 1m19.583s user 32m13.352s user 32m13.205s sys 4m40.161s sys 4m40.696s real 1m20.329s real 1m17.819s user 32m7.255s user 32m11.753s sys 4m36.706s sys 4m41.371s real 1m17.773s real 1m16.763s user 32m19.912s user 32m15.607s sys 4m36.989s sys 4m41.297s real 1m14.943s real 1m18.551s user 32m14.549s user 32m18.521s sys 4m38.670s sys 4m41.392s real 1m16.439s real 1m18.154s user 32m12.864s user 32m14.540s sys 4m39.424s sys 4m40.364s our team guys who used the 3-hops-fix patch to run unixbench reported some data of unixbench score as below(3 rounds): w/o patch: w/ patch: 1228.6 1254.9 1231.4 1265.7 1226.1 1266.1 One interesting thing is that if we change the kernel to disallow the below BALANCING flags for the last hop, sd->flags &= ~(SD_BALANCE_EXEC | SD_BALANCE_FORK | SD_WAKE_AFFINE); We are seeing further increase of unixbench. So sounds like those balancing shouldn't go that far. But it is a different topic.
