Subject: [Qemu-devel] Announce: Auto/Lazy-migration Patches RFC on linux-numa list
Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2010 11:15:06 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101112161506.4425.11535.sendpatchset@localhost6.localdomain6> (raw)

At last weeks' LPC, there was some interest in my patches for Auto/Lazy
Migration to improve locality and possibly performance of unpinned guest
VMs on a NUMA platform.  As a result of these conversations I have reposted
the patches [4 series, ~40 patches] as RFCs to the linux-numa list.  Links
to threads given below.

I have rebased the patches atop 3Nov10 mmotm series [2.6.36 + 3nov mmotm].
The patched kernel builds, boots and survives some fairly heavy testing on
an 8 node istanbul x86_64.  Under heavy load, I do encounter a race in the
somewhat optional migration cache.  Currently this generates a warning and
carries on, but the one migration cache entry and related page is then
wedged.  This would need to be resolved.


The series/threads in the order applied:

[PATCH/RFC 0/14] Shared Policy Overview

[PATCH/RFC 0/8] numa - Migrate-on-Fault

RESEND: [PATCH/RFC 1/5] numa - migration cache - core implementation
http://markmail.org/message/xgvvrnn2nk4nsn2e

	resend to add back the patch description missing from 1st attempt.
