Hm. Piddling with pgbench, which doesn't seem to collapse into a

that impressive, but it does appreciate the extra effort a bit, and a
bit more when clients receive it as well.
If you test, and have time to piddle, you could try letting wake_wide()
return 1 + sched_feat(WAKE_WIDE_IDLE) instead of adding only if wakee is
the dispatcher.

I had a typo in my script, so those desktop box numbers were all doing
the same number of clients. It doesn't invalidate anything, but the
individual deltas are just run to run variance.. not to mention that
single cache box is not all that interesting for this anyway. That
happens when interconnect becomes a player.
I have time for twiddling, we're carrying ye olde WAKE_IDLE until we get
this solved upstream and then I'll rip out the old and put in the new,
I'm happy to screw around until we're all happy. I'll throw this in a
kernel this morning and run stuff today. Barring any issues with the
testing infrastructure I should have results today. Thanks,
I'll be interested in your results. Taking pgbench to a little NUMA
box, I'm seeing _nada_ outside of variance with master (crap). I have a
way to win significantly for _older_ kernels, and that win over master
_may_ provide some useful insight, but I don't trust postgres/pgbench as
far as I can toss the planet, so don't have a warm fuzzy about trying to
use it to approximate your real world load.
BTW, what's your topology look like (numactl --hardware).
So the NO_WAKE_WIDE_IDLE results are very good, almost the same as the
baseline with a slight regression at lower RPS and a slight improvement
at high RPS. I'm running with WAKE_WIDE_IDLE set now, that should be
done soonish and then I'll do the 1 + sched_feat(WAKE_WIDE_IDLE) thing
next and those results should come in the morning. Here is the numa
