* memcg: avoid css_get()KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2010-08-111-43/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now, memory cgroup increments css(cgroup subsys state)'s reference count per a charged page. And the reference count is kept until the page is uncharged. But this has 2 bad effect. 1. Because css_get/put calls atomic_inc()/dec, heavy call of them on large smp will not scale well. 2. Because css's refcnt cannot be in a state as "ready-to-release", cgroup's notify_on_release handler can't work with memcg. 3. css's refcnt is atomic_t, it means smaller than 32bit. Maybe too small. This has been a problem since the 1st merge of memcg. This is a trial to remove css's refcnt per a page. Even if we remove refcnt, pre_destroy() does enough synchronization as - check res->usage == 0. - check no pages on LRU. This patch removes css's refcnt per page. Even after this patch, at the 1st look, it seems css_get() is still called in try_charge(). But the logic is. - If a memcg of mm->owner is cached one, consume_stock() will work. At success, return immediately. - If consume_stock returns false, css_get() is called and go to slow path which may be blocked. At the end of slow path, css_put() is called and restart from the start if necessary. So, in the fast path, we don't call css_get() and can avoid access to shared counter. This patch can make the most possible case fast. Here is a result of multi-threaded page fault benchmark.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes sure we first initialize everything and set the BDI_registered flag, and only after this we add the bdi to 'bdi_list'. Current code adds the bdi to the list too early, and as a result I the WARN(!test_bit(BDI_registered, &bdi->state) in bdi forker is triggered. Also, it is in general good practice to make things visible only when they are fully initialized. Also, this patch does few micro clean-ups: 1. Removes the 'exit' label which does not do anything, just returns. This allows to get rid of few braces and 'ret' variable and make the code smaller. 2. If 'kthread_run()' fails, remove the error code it returns, not hard-coded '-ENOMEM'. Theoretically, some day 'kthread_run()' can return something else. Also, in case of failure it is not necessary to set 'bdi->wb.task' to NULL. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

| * writeback: optimize periodic bdi thread wakeupsArtem Bityutskiy2010-08-071-16/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Whe the first inode for a bdi is marked dirty, we wake up the bdi thread which should take care of the periodic background write-out. However, the write-out will actually start only 'dirty_writeback_interval' centisecs later, so we can delay the wake-up. This change was requested by Nick Piggin who pointed out that if we delay the wake-up, we weed out 2 unnecessary contex switches, which matters because '__mark_inode_dirty()' is a hot-path function. This patch introduces a new function - 'bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed()', which sets up a timer to wake-up the bdi thread and returns. So the wake-up is delayed. We also delete the timer in bdi threads just before writing-back. And synchronously delete it when unregistering bdi. At the unregister point the bdi does not have any users, so no one can arm it again. Since now we take 'bdi->wb_lock' in the timer, which can execute in softirq context, we have to use 'spin_lock_bh()' for 'bdi->wb_lock'. This patch makes this change as well. This patch also moves the 'bdi_wb_init()' function down in the file to avoid forward-declaration of 'bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed()'.

There are two types of activities bdi threads do: 1. process bdi works from the 'bdi->work_list' 2. periodic write-back So there are 2 sources of wake-up events for bdi threads: 1. 'bdi_queue_work()' - submits bdi works 2. '__mark_inode_dirty()' - adds dirty I/O to bdi's The former already has bdi wake-up code. The latter does not, and this patch adds it. '__mark_inode_dirty()' is hot-path function, but this patch adds another 'spin_lock(&bdi->wb_lock)' there. However, it is taken only in rare cases when the bdi has no dirty inodes. So adding this spinlock should be fine and should not affect performance. This patch makes sure bdi threads and the forker thread do not wake-up if there is nothing to do. The forker thread will nevertheless wake up at least every 5 min. to check whether it has to kill a bdi thread. This can also be optimized, but is not worth it. This patch also tidies up the warning about unregistered bid, and turns it from an ugly crocodile to a simple 'WARN()' statement.

| * writeback: move bdi threads exiting logic to the forker threadArtem Bityutskiy2010-08-071-11/+58

However, this causes nasty races: we can easily oops in the 'bdi_queue_work()' if the bdi thread decides to exit while we are waking it up. And even if we do not oops, but the bdi tread exits immediately after we wake it up, we'd lose the wake-up event and have an unnecessary delay (up to 5 secs) in the bdi work processing. This patch makes the forker thread to be the central place which not only creates bdi threads, but also kills them if they were inactive long enough. This better design-wise. Another reason why this change was done is to prepare for the further changes which will prevent the bdi threads from waking up every 5 sec and wasting power. Indeed, when the task does not wake up periodically anymore, it won't be able to exit either. This patch also moves the the 'wake_up_bit()' call from the bdi thread to the forker thread as well. So now the forker thread sets the BDI_pending bit, then forks the task or kills it, then clears the bit and wakes up the waiting process. The only process which may wain on the bit is 'bdi_wb_shutdown()'. This function was changed as well - now it first removes the bdi from the 'bdi_list', then waits on the 'BDI_pending' bit. Once it wakes up, it is guaranteed that the forker thread won't race with it, because the bdi is not visible. Note, the forker thread sets the 'BDI_pending' bit under the 'bdi->wb_lock' which is essential for proper serialization. And additionally, when we change 'bdi->wb.task', we now take the 'bdi->work_lock', to make sure that we do not lose wake-ups which we otherwise would when raced with, say, 'bdi_queue_work()'.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch re-structures the bdi forker a little: 1. Add 'bdi_cap_flush_forker(bdi)' condition check to the bdi loop. The reason for this is that the forker thread can start _before_ the 'BDI_registered' flag is set (see 'bdi_register()'), so the WARN() statement will fire for the default bdi. I observed this warning at boot-up. 2. Introduce an enum 'action' and use "switch" statement in the outer loop. This is a preparation to the further patch which will teach the forker thread killing bdi threads, so we'll have another case in the "switch" statement. This change was suggested by Christoph Hellwig. This patch is just a small step towards the coming change where the forker thread will kill the bdi threads.

But this is wrong for at least 2 reasons. Reason #1: if we temporary remove a bdi from the list, we may miss works which would otherwise be given to us. Reason #2: this is racy; indeed, 'bdi_wb_shutdown()' expects that bdis are always in the 'bdi_list' (see 'bdi_remove_from_list()'), and when it races with the forker thread, it can shut down the bdi thread at the same time as the forker creates it. This patch makes sure the forker thread never removes bdis from 'bdi_list' (which was suggested by Christoph Hellwig). In order to make sure that we do not race with 'bdi_wb_shutdown()', we have to hold the 'bdi_lock' while walking the 'bdi_list' and setting the 'BDI_pending' flag. NOTE! The error path is interesting. Currently, when we fail to create a bdi thread, we move the bdi to the tail of 'bdi_list'. But if we never remove the bdi from the list, we cannot move it to the tail either, because then we can mess up the RCU readers which walk the list. And also, we'll have the race described above in "Reason #2". But I not think that adding to the tail is any important so I just do not do that.

Indeed, currently the forker thread ('bdi_forker_thread()') is working like this: 1. In a loop, fetch all bdi's which have works but have no writeback thread and move them to the 'pending_list'. 2. If the list is empty, sleep for 5 sec. 3. Otherwise, take one bdi from the list, fork the writeback thread for this bdi, and repeat the loop. IOW, it first moves everything to the 'pending_list', then process only one element, and so on. This patch simplifies the algorithm, which is now as follows. 1. Find the first bdi which has a work and remove it from the global list of bdi's (bdi_list). 2. If there was not such bdi, sleep 5 sec. 3. Fork the writeback thread for this bdi and repeat the loop. IOW, now we find the first bdi to process, process it, and so on. This is simpler and involves less lists. The bonus now is that we can get rid of a couple of functions, as well as remove complications which involve 'rcu_call()' and 'bdi->rcu_head'. This patch also makes sure we use 'list_add_tail_rcu()', instead of plain 'list_add_tail()', but this piece of code is going to be removed in the next patch anyway.

E.g., this can happen if 'bdi_queue_work()' is called when 'bdi_forker_thread()' is executing code after 'wb_do_writeback(me, 0)', but before 'set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)'. This situation is unlikely, and the result is not very severe - we'll just delay the execution of the work, but this is still not very nice. This patch fixes the issue by checking whether the default bdi has works before the forker thread goes sleep.

| * writeback: do not lose wake-ups in the forker thread - 1Artem Bityutskiy2010-08-071-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the forker thread can lose wake-ups which may lead to unnecessary delays in processing bdi works. E.g., consider the following scenario. 1. 'bdi_forker_thread()' walks the 'bdi_list', finds out there is nothing to do, and is about to finish the loop. 2. A bdi thread decides to exit because it was inactive for long time. 3. 'bdi_queue_work()' adds a work to the bdi which just exited, so it wakes up the forker thread. 4. but 'bdi_forker_thread()' executes 'set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)' and goes sleep. We lose a wake-up. Losing the wake-up is not fatal, but this means that the bdi work processing will be delayed by up to 5 sec. This race is theoretical, I never hit it, but it is worth fixing. The fix is to execute 'set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)' _before_ walking 'bdi_list', not after.

| * writeback: fix possible race when creating bdi threadsArtem Bityutskiy2010-08-071-17/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a very unlikely race condition on the bdi forker thread error path: when bdi thread creation fails, 'bdi->wb.task' may contain the error code for a short period of time. If at the same time someone submits a work to this bdi, we can end up with an oops 'bdi_queue_work()' while executing 'wake_up_process(wb->task)'. This patch fixes the issue by introducing a temporary variable 'task' and storing the possible error code there, so that 'wb->task' would never take erroneous values. Note, this race is very unlikely and I never hit it, so it is theoretical, but nevertheless worth fixing. This patch also merges 2 comments which were previously separate.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The write-back code mixes words "thread" and "task" for the same things. This is not a big deal, but still an inconsistency. hch: a convention I tend to use and I've seen in various places is to always use _task for the storage of the task_struct pointer, and thread everywhere else. This especially helps with having foo_thread for the actual thread and foo_task for a global variable keeping the task_struct pointer This patch renames: * 'bdi_add_default_flusher_task()' -> 'bdi_add_default_flusher_thread()' * 'bdi_forker_task()' -> 'bdi_forker_thread()' because bdi threads are 'bdi_writeback_thread()', so these names are more consistent. This patch also amends commentaries and makes them refer the forker and bdi threads as "thread", not "task". Also, while on it, make 'bdi_add_default_flusher_thread()' declaration use 'static void' instead of 'void static' and make checkpatch.pl happy.

(All user processes are frozenm so swapin is not a concern). This way, no updates will happen to swap_map[] between hibernate_snapshot() and save_image(). Swap is thawed when swsusp_free() is called.

Then, while scanning free entry in swap_map[], a swap entry may be able to be reclaimed and reused. It was caused by commit c9e444103b5e7a5 ("mm: reuse unused swap entry if necessary"). But this caused deta corruption at resume. The scenario is - Assume a clean-swap cache, but mapped. - at hibernation_snapshot[], clean-swap-cache is saved as clean-swap-cache and swap_map[] is marked as SWAP_HAS_CACHE. - then, save_image() is called. And reuse SWAP_HAS_CACHE entry to save image, and break the contents. After resume: - the memory reclaim runs and finds clean-not-referenced-swap-cache and discards it because it's marked as clean. But here, the contents on disk and swap-cache is inconsistent. Hance memory is corrupted. This patch avoids the bug by not reclaiming swap-entry during hibernation. This is a quick fix for backporting. Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Rafael J.

This happens when the two conditions are both meet: - under memory pressure - writing heavily to a slow device OOM also happens in Andreas' system. The OOM trace shows that 3 processes are stuck in wait_on_page_writeback() in the direct reclaim path. One in do_fork() and the other two in unix_stream_sendmsg(). They are blocked on this condition: (sc->order && priority < DEF_PRIORITY - 2) which was introduced in commit 78dc583d (vmscan: low order lumpy reclaim also should use PAGEOUT_IO_SYNC) one year ago. That condition may be too permissive. In Andreas' case, 512MB/1024 = 512KB. If the direct reclaim for the order-1 fork() allocation runs into a range of 512KB hard-to-reclaim LRU pages, it will be stalled. It's a severe problem in three ways. Firstly, it can easily happen in daily desktop usage. vmscan priority can easily go below (DEF_PRIORITY - 2) on _local_ memory pressure. Even if the system has 50% globally reclaimable pages, it still has good opportunity to have 0.1% sized hard-to-reclaim ranges. For example, a simple dd can easily create a big range (up to 20%) of dirty pages in the LRU lists. And order-1 to order-3 allocations are more than common with SLUB. Try "grep -v '1 :' /proc/slabinfo" to get the list of high order slab caches. For example, the order-1 radix_tree_node slab cache may stall applications at swap-in time; the order-3 inode cache on most filesystems may stall applications when trying to read some file; the order-2 proc_inode_cache may stall applications when trying to open a /proc file. Secondly, once triggered, it will stall unrelated processes (not doing IO at all) in the system. This "one slow USB device stalls the whole system" avalanching effect is very bad. Thirdly, once stalled, the stall time could be intolerable long for the users. When there are 20MB queued writeback pages and USB 1.1 is writing them in 1MB/s, wait_on_page_writeback() will stuck for up to 20 seconds. Not to mention it may be called multiple times. So raise the bar to only enable PAGEOUT_IO_SYNC when priority goes below DEF_PRIORITY/3, or 6.25% LRU size. As the default dirty throttle ratio is 20%, it will hardly be triggered by pure dirty pages. We'd better treat PAGEOUT_IO_SYNC as some last resort workaround -- its stall time is so uncomfortably long (easily goes beyond 1s). The bar is only raised for (order < PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER) allocations, which are easy to satisfy in 1TB memory boxes. So, although 6.25% of memory could be an awful lot of pages to scan on a system with 1TB of memory, it won't really have to busy scan that much. Andreas tested an older version of this patch and reported that it mostly fixed his problem. Mel Gorman helped improve it and KOSAKI Motohiro will fix it further in the next patch.
