sched/fair: Adjust the allowed NUMA imbalance when SD_NUMA spans multiple LLCs
Commit 7d2b5dd0 ("sched/numa: Allow a floating imbalance between NUMA nodes") allowed an imbalance between NUMA nodes such that communicating tasks would not be pulled apart by the load balancer. This works fine when there is a 1:1 relationship between LLC and node but can be suboptimal for multiple LLCs if independent tasks prematurely use CPUs sharing cache. Zen* has multiple LLCs per node with local memory channels and due to the allowed imbalance, it's far harder to tune some workloads to run optimally than it is on hardware that has 1 LLC per node. This patch allows an imbalance to exist up to the point where LLCs should be balanced between nodes. On a Zen3 machine running STREAM parallelised with OMP to have on instance per LLC the results and without binding, the results are 5.17.0-rc0 5.17.0-rc0 vanilla sched-numaimb-v6 MB/sec copy-16 162596.94 ( 0.00%) 580559.74 ( 257.05%) MB/sec scale-16 136901.28 ( 0.00%) 374450.52 ( 173.52%) MB/sec add-16 157300.70 ( 0.00%) 564113.76 ( 258.62%) MB/sec triad-16 151446.88 ( 0.00%) 564304.24 ( 272.61%) STREAM can use directives to force the spread if the OpenMP is new enough but that doesn't help if an application uses threads and it's not known in advance how many threads will be created. Coremark is a CPU and cache intensive benchmark parallelised with threads. When running with 1 thread per core, the vanilla kernel allows threads to contend on cache.
