Make zonelist creation policy selectable from sysctl v4.
Automatic configuration itself is provided by the next patch.
[Description]
Assume 2 node NUMA, only node(0) has ZONE_DMA.
(ia64's ZONE_DMA is below 4GB...x86_64's ZONE_DMA32)
In this case, current default (node0's) zonelist order is
Node(0)'s NORMAL -> Node(0)'s DMA -> Node(1)"s NORMAL.
This means Node(0)'s DMA will be used before Node(1)'s NORMAL.
This patch changes *default* zone order to
Node(0)'s NORMAL -> Node(1)'s NORMAL -> Node(0)'s DMA.
But, if Node(0)'s memory is too small (near or below 4G), Node(0)'s process has
to allocate its memory from Node(1) even if there are free memory in Node(0).
Some applications/uses will dislike this.
This patch adds a knob to change zonelist ordering.
[What this patch adds]
command:
%echo N > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order
Will rebuild zonelist in following order(old style, NODE order).
Node(0)'s NORMAL -> Node(0)'s DMA -> Node(0)'s NORMAL.
means put more priority on locality.
command:
%echo Z > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order
Will rebuild zonelist in following order(new style, ZONE order)
Node(0)'s NORMAL -> Node(1)'s NORMAL -> Node(0)'s DMA.
means put more priority on zone_type.
And you can specify this option as boot param.
Because autoconfig function does nothing. Default is "Node" order.
Tested on ia64 2-Node NUMA. works well.

+numa_zonelist_order
+
+This sysctl is only for NUMA.
+
+numa_zonelist_order selects the order of the memory allocation zonelists.
+The default order [a.k.a. "node order"] orders the zonelists by node, the
+by zone within each node. The default is automatic configuration.
+Specify "[Dd]fault" or "0" to request automatic configuration.
+
+ For example, assume 2 Node NUMA. The "Node order" kernel memory allocation
+order on Node(0) will be:
+
+ Node(0)NORMAL -> Node(0)DMA -> Node(1)NORMAL -> Node(1)DMA(if any)
+
+Thus, allocations that request Node(0) NORMAL may overflow onto Node(0)DMA
+first. This provides maximum locality, but risks exhausting all of DMA
+memory while NORMAL memory exists elsewhere on the system. This can result
+in OOM-KILL in ZONE_DMA. Secify "[Zz]one" or "1" to request zone order.
+
+If numa_zonelist_order is set to "node" order, the kernel memory allocation
+order on Node(0) becomes:
+
+ Node(0)NORMAL -> Node(1)NORMAL -> Node(0)DMA -> Node(1)DMA(if any)
+
+In this mode, DMA memory will be used in place of NORMAL memory, only when
+all NORMAL zones are exhausted. Specify "[Nn]ode" or "2" for node order.
+
+The default value is 0.
