15 years agomemcg: improve resource counter scalability
Balbir Singh [Wed, 23 Sep 2009 22:56:42 +0000 (15:56 -0700)]
memcg: improve resource counter scalability

Reduce the resource counter overhead (mostly spinlock) associated with the
root cgroup.  This is a part of the several patches to reduce mem cgroup
overhead.  I had posted other approaches earlier (including using percpu
counters).  Those patches will be a natural addition and will be added
iteratively on top of these.

The patch stops resource counter accounting for the root cgroup.  The data
for display is derived from the statisitcs we maintain via
mem_cgroup_charge_statistics (which is more scalable).  What happens today
is that, we do double accounting, once using res_counter_charge() and once
using memory_cgroup_charge_statistics().  For the root, since we don't
implement limits any more, we don't need to track every charge via
res_counter_charge() and check for limit being exceeded and reclaim.

The main mem->res usage_in_bytes can be derived by summing the cache and
rss usage data from memory statistics (MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE).  However, for memsw->res usage_in_bytes, we need
additional data about swapped out memory.  This patch adds a
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAPOUT and uses that along with MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE to derive the memsw data.  This data is computed
recursively when hierarchy is enabled.

The tests results I see on a 24 way show that

1. The lock contention disappears from /proc/lock_stats
2. The results of the test are comparable to running with
   cgroup_disable=memory.

Currently, new mode of the attach function can only tell the subsystem
about the old cgroup of the threadgroup leader.  No subsystem currently
needs that information for each thread that's being moved, but if one were
to be added (for example, one that counts tasks within a group) this bit
would need to be reworked a bit to tell the subsystem the right

cgroups: revert "cgroups: fix pid namespace bug"

The following series adds a "cgroup.procs" file to each cgroup that
reports unique tgids rather than pids, and allows all threads in a
threadgroup to be atomically moved to a new cgroup.

The subsystem "attach" interface is modified to support attaching whole
threadgroups at a time, which could introduce potential problems if any
subsystem were to need to access the old cgroup of every thread being
moved.  The attach interface may need to be revised if this becomes the
case.

Also added is functionality for read/write locking all CLONE_THREAD
fork()ing within a threadgroup, by means of an rwsem that lives in the
sighand_struct, for per-threadgroup-ness and also for sharing a cacheline
with the sighand's atomic count.  This scheme should introduce no extra
overhead in the fork path when there's no contention.

The final patch reveals potential for a race when forking before a
subsystem's attach function is called - one potential solution in case any
subsystem has this problem is to hang on to the group's fork mutex through
the attach() calls, though no subsystem yet demonstrates need for an
extended critical section.

cgroups: allow cgroup hierarchies to be created with no bound subsystems

This patch removes the restriction that a cgroup hierarchy must have at
least one bound subsystem.  The mount option "none" is treated as an
explicit request for no bound subsystems.

A hierarchy with no subsystems can be useful for plain task tracking, and
is also a step towards the support for multiply-bindable subsystems.

As part of this change, the hierarchy id is no longer calculated from the
bitmask of subsystems in the hierarchy (since this is not guaranteed to be
unique) but is allocated via an ida.  Reference counts on cgroups from
css_set objects are now taken explicitly one per hierarchy, rather than
one per subsystem.

Example usage:

mount -t cgroup -o none,name=foo cgroup /mnt/cgroup

MAP_PRIVATE on the vfs internal mount") altered can_do_hugetlb_shm() to
check if a file is being created for shared memory or mmap().  If this
returns false, we then unconditionally call user_shm_lock() triggering a
warning.  This block should never be entered for MAP_HUGETLB.  This
patch partially reverts the problem and fixes the check.

15 years agoksm: change default values to better fit into mainline kernel
Izik Eidus [Wed, 23 Sep 2009 22:56:04 +0000 (15:56 -0700)]
ksm: change default values to better fit into mainline kernel

Now that ksm is in mainline it is better to change the default values to
better fit to most of the users.

This patch change the ksm default values to be:

ksm_thread_pages_to_scan = 100 (instead of 200)
ksm_thread_sleep_millisecs = 20 (like before)
ksm_run = KSM_RUN_STOP (instead of KSM_RUN_MERGE - meaning ksm is
                        disabled by default)
ksm_max_kernel_pages = nr_free_buffer_pages / 4 (instead of 2046)

The important aspect of this patch is: it disables ksm by default, and sets
the number of the kernel_pages that can be allocated to be a reasonable
number.

It happens because the new INPUT_WINBOND_CIR driver relies on new-leds
infrastructure - but does not select it in drivers/input/misc/Kconfig.
But it selects LEDS_CLASS, which confuses a number of other drivers into
thinking that all the leds infrastructure is in place.

Fix this by selecting NEW_LEDS as well, like similar drivers do.

Eventually, this whole leds infrastructure complexity should be
cleaned up, it's been going on for years.

Revert "kmod: fix race in usermodehelper code"

This reverts commit c02e3f361c7 ("kmod: fix race in usermodehelper code")

The patch is wrong.  UMH_WAIT_EXEC is called with VFORK what ensures
that the child finishes prior returing back to the parent.  No race.

In fact, the patch makes it even worse because it does the thing it
claims not do:

 - It calls ->complete() on UMH_WAIT_EXEC

 - the complete() callback may de-allocated subinfo as seen in the
   following call chain:

    [<c009f904>] (__link_path_walk+0x20/0xeb4) from [<c00a094c>] (path_walk+0x48/0x94)
    [<c00a094c>] (path_walk+0x48/0x94) from [<c00a0a34>] (do_path_lookup+0x24/0x4c)
    [<c00a0a34>] (do_path_lookup+0x24/0x4c) from [<c00a158c>] (do_filp_open+0xa4/0x83c)
    [<c00a158c>] (do_filp_open+0xa4/0x83c) from [<c009ba90>] (open_exec+0x24/0xe0)
    [<c009ba90>] (open_exec+0x24/0xe0) from [<c009bfa8>] (do_execve+0x7c/0x2e4)
    [<c009bfa8>] (do_execve+0x7c/0x2e4) from [<c0026a80>] (kernel_execve+0x34/0x80)
    [<c0026a80>] (kernel_execve+0x34/0x80) from [<c004b514>] (____call_usermodehelper+0x130/0x148)
    [<c004b514>] (____call_usermodehelper+0x130/0x148) from [<c0024858>] (kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8)

   and the path pointer was NULL.  Good that ARM's kernel_execve()
   doesn't check the pointer for NULL or else I wouldn't notice it.

The only race there might be is with UMH_NO_WAIT but it is too late for
me to investigate it now.  UMH_WAIT_PROC could probably also use VFORK
and we could save one exec.  So the only race I see is with UMH_NO_WAIT
and recent scheduler changes where the child does not always run first
might have trigger here something but as I said, it is late....

 c/ as above when xs_tcp_state_change detects TCP_SYN_SENT, so that
    it is never 0 while a connection has been attempted, else
    the doubling will produce 0 and there will be no backoff.
 d/ to double is value (up to a limit) when delaying a connection,
    thus providing exponential backoff and
 e/ to XS_TCP_INIT_REEST_TO in xs_setup_tcp as simple initialisation.

So you can see it is highly dependant on xs_tcp_state_change being
called as expected.  However experimental evidence shows that
xs_tcp_state_change does not see all state changes.
("rpcdebug -m rpc trans" can help show what actually happens).

Results show:
 TCP_ESTABLISHED is reported when a connection is made.  TCP_SYN_SENT
 is never reported, so rule 'c' above is never effective.

 When the server closes the connection, TCP_CLOSE_WAIT and
 TCP_LAST_ACK *might* be reported, and TCP_CLOSE is always
 reported.  This rule 'b' above will sometimes be effective, but
 not reliably.

 When the client closes the connection, it used to result in
 TCP_FIN_WAIT1, TCP_FIN_WAIT2, TCP_CLOSE.  However since commit
 f75e674 (SUNRPC: Fix the problem of EADDRNOTAVAIL syslog floods on
 reconnect) we don't see *any* events on client-close.  I think this
 is because xs_restore_old_callbacks is called to disconnect
 xs_tcp_state_change before the socket is closed.
 In any case, rule 'a' no longer applies.

So all that is left are rule d, which successfully doubles the
timeout which is never rest, and rule e which initialises the timeout.

Even if the rules worked as expected, there would be a problem because
a successful connection does not reset the timeout, so a sequence
of events where the server closes the connection (e.g. during failover
testing) will cause longer and longer timeouts with no good reason.

This patch:

 - sets reestablish_timeout to 0 in xs_close thus effecting rule 'a'
 - sets it to 0 in xs_tcp_data_ready to ensure that a successful
   connection resets the timeout
 - sets it to at least XS_TCP_INIT_REEST_TO after it is doubled,
   thus effecting rule c

I have not reimplemented rule b and the new version of rule c
seems sufficient.

I suspect other code in xs_tcp_data_ready needs to be revised as well.
For example I don't think connect_cookie is being incremented as often
as it should be.
