In commit:3fed382b46("sched/numa: Implement NUMA node level wake_affine()") Rik changed wake_affine to consider NUMA information when balancing between LLC domains. There are a number of problems here which this patch tries to address: - LLC < NODE; in this case we'd use the wrong information to balance - !NUMA_BALANCING: in this case, the new code doesn't do any balancing at all - re-computes the NUMA data for every wakeup, this can mean iterating up to 64 CPUs for every wakeup. - default affine wakeups inside a cache We address these by saving the load/capacity values for each sched_domain during regular load-balance and using these values in wake_affine_llc(). The obvious down-side to using cached values is that they can be too old and poorly reflect reality. But this way we can use LLC wide information and thus not rely on assuming LLC matches NODE. We also don't rely on NUMA_BALANCING nor do we have to aggegate two nodes (or even cache domains) worth of CPUs for each wakeup.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
