Subject: [PATCH 3/3] docs/admin-guide/cgroup-v2: add cpuset.mems.migration
Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2021 14:59:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210426065946.40491-4-wuyun.abel@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210426065946.40491-1-wuyun.abel@bytedance.com>

Add docs for new interface cpuset.mems.migration, most of which
are stolen from cpuset(7) manpages.

 	Changing the partition state of an invalid partition root to
 	"member" is always allowed even if child cpusets are present.
 
+  cpuset.mems.migration
+	A read-write single value file which exists on non-root
+	cpuset-enabled cgroups.
+
+	Only the following migration modes are defined.
+
+	  ========	==========================================
+	  "none"	migration disabled [default]
+	  "sync"	move pages to cpuset nodes synchronously
+	  "lazy"	move pages to cpuset nodes on second touch
+	  ========	==========================================
+
+	By default, "none" mode is enabled. In this mode, once a page
+	is allocated (given a physical page of main memory) then that
+	page stays on whatever node it was allocated, so long as it
+	remains allocated, even if the cpusets memory placement policy
+	'cpuset.mems' subsequently changes.
+
+	If "sync" mode is enabled in a cpuset, when the 'cpuset.mems'
+	setting is changed, any memory page in use by any process in
+	the cpuset that is on a memory node that is no longer allowed
+	will be migrated to a memory node that is allowed synchronously.
+	The relative placement of a migrated page within the cpuset is
+	preserved during these migration operations if possible.
+
+	The "lazy" mode is almost the same as "sync" mode, except that
+	it doesn't move the pages right away. Instead it sets these
+	pages to protnone, and numa faults triggered by second touching
+	these pages will handle the movement.
+
+	Furthermore, if a process is moved into a cpuset with migration
+	enabled ("sync" or "lazy" enabled), any memory pages it uses
+	that on memory nodes allowed in its previous cpuset, but which
+	are not allowed in its new cpuset, will be migrated to a memory
+	node allowed in the new cpuset.
