Bug Description
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
We discovered a network packets per second (PPS) performance issue in one of our upcoming EC2 instance platform on Graviton.The issue is addressed by setting a value for the numa_cma parameter. While this parameter is supported in 24.04, the parameter is not available in 22.04 or 20.04 today, which could impact customers running 22.04 or 20.04 on the new EC2 platform.
[Fix]
We are requesting the the following changes be backported to 22.04 and 20.04 for ARM:
https:/
https:/
EC2 Nitro team is only asking for the change in ARM, however we will leave to Canonical's discretion to make the same changes in x86.
Also requested to add this fix for NUMA node overrides for AWS EC2 ENA adapaters: https:/
We also request Canonical set kernel params to "numa_cma=1:32M" for all OSes that support this parameter - 24.04, 22.04 and 20.04.
Focal only needs this via the 5.15 based backport kernel, and not the 5.4 based focal kernel.
