From 286549dcaf4f128cb04f0ad56dfb677d7d19b500 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:51:03 -0800 Subject: sched: add tracepoints related to NUMA task migration This patch adds three tracepoints o trace_sched_move_numa when a task is moved to a node o trace_sched_swap_numa when a task is swapped with another task o trace_sched_stick_numa when a numa-related migration fails The tracepoints allow the NUMA scheduler activity to be monitored and the following high-level metrics can be calculated o NUMA migrated stuck nr trace_sched_stick_numa o NUMA migrated idle nr trace_sched_move_numa o NUMA migrated swapped nr trace_sched_swap_numa o NUMA local swapped trace_sched_swap_numa src_nid == dst_nid (should never happen) o NUMA remote swapped trace_sched_swap_numa src_nid != dst_nid (should == NUMA migrated swapped) o NUMA group swapped trace_sched_swap_numa src_ngid == dst_ngid Maybe a small number of these are acceptable but a high number would be a major surprise. It would be even worse if bounces are frequent. o NUMA avg task migs. Average number of migrations for tasks o NUMA stddev task mig Self-explanatory o NUMA max task migs. Maximum number of migrations for a single task In general the intent of the tracepoints is to help diagnose problems where automatic NUMA balancing appears to be doing an excessive amount of useless work.
