Nest and core IMC (In-Memory Collection counters) assigns a particular cpu as the designated target for counter data collection. During system boot, the first online cpu in a chip gets assigned as the designated cpu for that chip(for nest-imc) and the first online cpu in a core gets assigned as the designated cpu for that core(for core-imc). If the designated cpu goes offline, the next online cpu from the same chip(for nest-imc)/core(for core-imc) is assigned as the next target, and the event context is migrated to the target cpu. Currently, cpumask_any_but() function is used to find the target cpu. Though this function is expected to return a `random` cpu, this always returns the next online cpu. If all cpus in a chip/core is offlined in a sequential manner, starting from the first cpu, the event migration has to happen for all the cpus which goes offline. Since the migration process involves a grace period, the total time taken to offline all the cpus will be significantly high. Example: In a system which has 2 sockets, with NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-87 NUMA node8 CPU(s): 88-175 Time taken to offline cpu 88-175: real 2m56.099s user 0m0.191s sys 0m0.000s Use cpumask_last() to choose the target cpu, when the designated cpu goes online, so the migration will happen only when the last_cpu in the mask goes offline. This way the time taken to offline all cpus in a chip/core can be reduced. With the patch: Time taken to offline cpu 88-175: real 0m12.207s user 0m0.171s sys 0m0.000s Offlining all cpus in reverse order is also taken care because, cpumask_any_but() is used to find the designated cpu if the last cpu in the mask goes offline. Since cpumask_any_but() always return the first cpu in the mask, that becomes the designated cpu and migration will happen only when the first_cpu in the mask goes offline. Example: With the patch, Time taken to offline cpu from 175-88: real 0m9.330s user 0m0.110s sys 0m0.000s Signed-off-by: Anju T Sudhakar <anju@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> |
