From abac8a6ec90894bf97f3d395bc2329c03c6b9f75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2021 10:07:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 302/323] mm: Disable NUMA_BALANCING_DEFAULT_ENABLED and TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE on PREEMPT_RT Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.10/older/patches-5.10.215-rt107.tar.xz TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE: There are potential non-deterministic delays to an RT thread if a critical memory region is not THP-aligned and a non-RT buffer is located in the same hugepage-aligned region. It's also possible for an unrelated thread to migrate pages belonging to an RT task incurring unexpected page faults due to memory defragmentation even if khugepaged is disabled. Regular HUGEPAGEs are not affected by this can be used. NUMA_BALANCING: There is a non-deterministic delay to mark PTEs PROT_NONE to gather NUMA fault samples, increased page faults of regions even if mlocked and non-deterministic delays when migrating pages.
