H A Dtopology.hdiff a55c7454a8c887b226a01d7eed088ccb5374d81e Thu Aug 08 14:53:01 CDT 2019 Matt Fleming <matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> sched/topology: Improve load balancing on AMD EPYC systems

SD_BALANCE_{FORK,EXEC} and SD_WAKE_AFFINE are stripped in sd_init()
for any sched domains with a NUMA distance greater than 2 hops
(RECLAIM_DISTANCE). The idea being that it's expensive to balance
across domains that far apart.

However, as is rather unfortunately explained in:

commit 32e45ff43eaf ("mm: increase RECLAIM_DISTANCE to 30")

the value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE is based on node distance tables from
2011-era hardware.

Current AMD EPYC machines have the following NUMA node distances:

node distances:
node 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
0: 10 16 16 16 32 32 32 32
1: 16 10 16 16 32 32 32 32
2: 16 16 10 16 32 32 32 32
3: 16 16 16 10 32 32 32 32
4: 32 32 32 32 10 16 16 16
5: 32 32 32 32 16 10 16 16
6: 32 32 32 32 16 16 10 16
7: 32 32 32 32 16 16 16 10

where 2 hops is 32.

The result is that the scheduler fails to load balance properly across
NUMA nodes on different sockets -- 2 hops apart.

For example, pinning 16 busy threads to NUMA nodes 0 (CPUs 0-7) and 4
(CPUs 32-39) like so,

$ numactl -C 0-7,32-39 ./spinner 16

causes all threads to fork and remain on node 0 until the active
balancer kicks in after a few seconds and forcibly moves some threads
to node 4.

Override node_reclaim_distance for AMD Zen.
