sched: cpumask: improve on cpumask_local_spread() locality
cpumask_local_spread() currently checks local node for presence of i'th
CPU, and then if it finds nothing makes a flat search among all non-local
CPUs. We can do it better by checking CPUs per NUMA hops.
This has significant performance implications on NUMA machines, for example
when using NUMA-aware allocated memory together with NUMA-aware IRQ
affinity hints.
Performance tests from patch 8 of this series for mellanox network
driver show:
TCP multi-stream, using 16 iperf3 instances pinned to 16 cores (with aRFS on).
Active cores: 64,65,72,73,80,81,88,89,96,97,104,105,112,113,120,121
+-------------------------+-----------+------------------+------------------+
| | BW (Gbps) | TX side CPU util | RX side CPU util |
+-------------------------+-----------+------------------+------------------+
| Baseline | 52.3 | 6.4 % | 17.9 % |
+-------------------------+-----------+------------------+------------------+
| Applied on TX side only | 52.6 | 5.2 % | 18.5 % |
+-------------------------+-----------+------------------+------------------+
| Applied on RX side only | 94.9 | 11.9 % | 27.2 % |
+-------------------------+-----------+------------------+------------------+
| Applied on both sides | 95.1 | 8.4 % | 27.3 % |
+-------------------------+-----------+------------------+------------------+
Bottleneck in RX side is released, reached linerate (~1.8x speedup).
~30% less cpu util on TX.
