In Documentation/numastat.txt, it confused me. For example, there are nodes [0,1] in system. barrios:~$ cat /proc/zoneinfo | egrep 'numa|zone' Node 0, zone DMA numa_hit 33226 numa_miss 1739 numa_foreign 27978 .. .. Node 1, zone DMA numa_hit 307 numa_miss 46900 numa_foreign 0 1) In node 0, NUMA_MISS means it wanted to allocate page in node 1 but ended up with page in node 0 2) In node 0, NUMA_FOREIGN means it wanted to allocate page in node 0 but ended up with page from Node 1. But now, numastat explains it oppositely about (MISS, FOREIGN). Let's fix up with viewpoint of zone.

All units are pages. Hugepages have separate counters.

numa_hit A process wanted to allocate memory from this node,
|
|
and succeeded.
|
|
numa_miss A process wanted to allocate memory from another node,
|
|
but ended up with memory from this node.
|
|
numa_foreign A process wanted to allocate on this node,
|
|
but ended up with memory from another one.
|
|
local_node A process ran on this node and got memory from it.

For easier reading you can use the numastat utility from the numactl package
|
|
(ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/ak/numa/numactl*). Note that it only works
|
|
well right now on machines with a small number of CPUs.
