In certain scenarios, such as memory being preallocated across multiple numa nodes, this approach is not optimal due to the unnecessary serialization. This series addresses this issue by initializing the backend memory objects in parallel.

Once we have parsed all the command line args, we set prealloc_init = true (wait_mem_prealloc_init()) which causes all subsequent calls to qemu_prealloc_mem() to perform initialization synchronously.

To make this all a bit clearer, what about the following to make this: * Optimize for MADV_POPULATE_WRITE. If we really need support for !MADV_POPULATE_WRITE, this is better added on top later. * Pass in via a parameter that the caller requests async handling. "bool async" should be good enough. Then, pass that only from the memory backend call, while QEMU is still initializing (we can find a way to make that work). * Provide a function that waits for any remaining async os-mem-prealloc activity.

Seems to me that no matter what parallelisation we use (within mem regions, or across mem regions, or a mix of both), we should never use more threads than there are host CPUs. Can we have a pool of threads sized per available host CPUs that QEMU can access. Then for each memory backend fire off a set of init jobs that get distributed to "appropriate" threads in the pool. By appropriate I mean threads with the same NUMA affinity as the memory backend. This would give parallelisation both within a single large memory region, as well as across memory regions. eg 4 host CPUs, 3 memory regions (1GB for 1st numa node, 1GB for 2nd numa node, and 1 GB with no numa affinity). If we spread the init work then we end up with 1st thread gets 500MB to init from 1st memory region, and 250MB to init from 3rd memory region 2st thread gets 500MB to init from 1st memory region, and 250MB to init from 3rd memory region 3st thread gets 500MB to init from 2nd memory region, and 250MB to init from 3rd memory region 4th thread gets 500MB to init from 2nd memory region, and 250MB to init from 3rd memory region > Could > either be a machine option or a memory backend option (async-prealloc=on). > Once hotplugging such backends, we would disable it for now, but could allow > it in the future. IMHO "do the right thing" without user config is preferrable to adding yet more cli options here.

As such, unless you feel strongly about it, I'm inclined to leave additional enhancements (thread pool) as a future project. Since multiple NUMA node configs are the primary motivation for parallel init, I do wonder if it should *only* be used in conjunction with prealloc context. Perhaps we should have parallel init only enabled for memory regions with prealloc context?

It's uncommon to have many memory backends target the same NUMA node such that you would want to use pooling. Usually, you'd expect in most vNUMA setups to have, say, 1 memory backend per vNUMA node that is mapped to some NUMA nodes in the parent. Using prealloc contexts you can make sure that preallocating each individual one gets the right CPU affinity. Setting the prealloc threads you can limit the number of threads used per memory backend. > > Since multiple NUMA node configs are the primary motivation for parallel > init, I do wonder if it should *only* be used in conjunction > with prealloc context.

* [PATCH v1 2/2] oslib-posix: initialize backend memory objects in parallel 2024-01-08 15:10 [PATCH v1 0/2] Initialize backend memory objects in parallel Mark Kanda 2024-01-08 15:10 ` [PATCH v1 1/2] oslib-posix: refactor memory prealloc threads Mark Kanda @ 2024-01-08 15:10 ` Mark Kanda 1 sibling, 0 replies; 11+ messages in thread From: Mark Kanda @ 2024-01-08 15:10 UTC (permalink / raw) To: qemu-devel; +Cc: david, pbonzini, mark.kanda QEMU initializes preallocated backend memory as the objects are parsed from the command line. This is not optimal in some cases (e.g. memory spanning multiple numa nodes) because the memory objects are initialized in series. Allow the initialization to occur in parallel. The performance increase is significant and scales with the number of objects. On a 2 socket Skylake VM with 128GB and 2 init threads per socket (256GB total), the memory init time decreases from ~27 seconds to ~14 seconds.
