[PATCH V3 4/4] sched/numa: Use hash_32 to mix up PIDs accessing VMA

From: Raghavendra K T
Date: Mon Feb 27 2023 - 23:52:39 EST


before: last 6 bits of PID is used as index to store
information about tasks accessing VMA's.

after: hash_32 is used to take of cases where tasks are
created over a period of time, and thus improve collision
probability.

Result:
The patch series overall improving autonuma cost by a huge
margin.
Kernbench anbd dbench showed around 5% improvement and
system time in mmtest autonuma showed 80% improvement
