Subject: [PATCH 4/4] x86, sched: Workaround broken sched domain creation for AMD Magny-Cours
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2009 09:44:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090903074428.GI7216@alberich.amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090903073818.GE7216@alberich.amd.com>
Current sched domain creation code can't handle multi-node processors.
When switching to power_savings scheduling errors show up and
system might hang later on (due to broken sched domain hierarchy):
# echo 0 >> /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings
CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
domain 0: span 0-5 level MC
groups: 0 1 2 3 4 5
domain 1: span 0-23 level NODE
groups: 0-5 6-11 18-23 12-17
...
# echo 1 >> /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings
CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
domain 0: span 0-11 level MC
groups: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
ERROR: parent span is not a superset of domain->span
domain 1: span 0-5 level CPU
ERROR: domain->groups does not contain CPU0
groups: 6-11 (__cpu_power = 12288)
ERROR: groups don't span domain->span
domain 2: span 0-23 level NODE
groups:
ERROR: domain->cpu_power not set
ERROR: groups don't span domain->span
...
Fixing all aspects of power-savings scheduling for Magny-Cours needs
some larger changes in the sched domain creation code.
As a short-term and temporary workaround avoid the problems by
extending "the worst possible hack" ;-(
and always use llc_shared_map on AMD Magny-Cours when MC domain span
is calculated.
With this I get:
# echo 1 >> /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings
CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
domain 0: span 0-5 level MC
groups: 0 1 2 3 4 5
domain 1: span 0-5 level CPU
groups: 0-5 (__cpu_power = 6144)
domain 2: span 0-23 level NODE
groups: 0-5 (__cpu_power = 6144) 6-11 (__cpu_power = 6144) 18-23 (__cpu_power = 6144) 12-17 (__cpu_power = 6144)
...
I.e. no errors during sched domain creation, no system hangs, and also
mc_power_savings scheduling works to a certain extend.
