      oom: badness heuristic rewrite · a63d83f4
      David Rientjes 提交于
      This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is
      used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions.  The goal is to
      make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better
      understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most
      memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace.
      
      Instead of basing the heuristic on mm->total_vm for each task, the task's
      rss and swap space is used instead.  This is a better indication of the
      amount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen
      and subsequently exits.  This helps specifically in cases where KDE or
      GNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory
      hogging task.
      
      The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is
      currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of "allowable"
      memory.  "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide resources for
      unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems
      attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit.  The
      proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill),
      roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task
      consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap
      space.
      
      The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and
      not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may
      operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the
      machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of
      nodes or mems, respectively.
      
      Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory()
      provides in LSMs.  In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of
      memory, it is generally better to save root's task.
      
      Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also
      necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it.  It's not possible
      to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the
      ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability.  Instead, a new tunable,
      /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000.  It may
      be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never
      considered for oom kill while others may always be considered.  The value
      is added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for
      example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to
      other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset,
      or sharing the same memory controller.
      
      /proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the
      units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa.  Changing one of
      these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an
      equivalent meaning.  Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as
      a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as
      /proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity.  This is required
      so the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to
      be deprecated for future removal.

      vmscan: kill prev_priority completely · 25edde03
      KOSAKI Motohiro 提交于
      Since 2.6.28 zone->prev_priority is unused. Then it can be removed
      safely. It reduce stack usage slightly.
      
      Now I have to say that I'm sorry. 2 years ago, I thought prev_priority
      can be integrate again, it's useful. but four (or more) times trying
      haven't got good performance number. Thus I give up such approach.
      
      The rest of this changelog is notes on prev_priority and why it existed in
      the first place and why it might be not necessary any more. This information
      is based heavily on discussions between Andrew Morton, Rik van Riel and
      Kosaki Motohiro who is heavily quotes from.
      
      Historically prev_priority was important because it determined when the VM
      would start unmapping PTE pages. i.e. there are no balances of note within
      the VM, Anon vs File and Mapped vs Unmapped. Without prev_priority, there
      is a potential risk of unnecessarily increasing minor faults as a large
      amount of read activity of use-once pages could push mapped pages to the
      end of the LRU and get unmapped.
      
      There is no proof this is still a problem but currently it is not considered
      to be. Active files are not deactivated if the active file list is smaller
      than the inactive list reducing the liklihood that file-mapped pages are
      being pushed off the LRU and referenced executable pages are kept on the
      active list to avoid them getting pushed out by read activity.
      
      Even if it is a problem, prev_priority prev_priority wouldn't works
      nowadays. First of all, current vmscan still a lot of UP centric code. it
      expose some weakness on some dozens CPUs machine. I think we need more and
      more improvement.
      
      The problem is, current vmscan mix up per-system-pressure, per-zone-pressure
      and per-task-pressure a bit. example, prev_priority try to boost priority to
      other concurrent priority. but if the another task have mempolicy restriction,
      it is unnecessary, but also makes wrong big latency and exceeding reclaim.
      per-task based priority + prev_priority adjustment make the emulation of
      per-system pressure. but it have two issue 1) too rough and brutal emulation
      2) we need per-zone pressure, not per-system.
      
      Another example, currently DEF_PRIORITY is 12. it mean the lru rotate about
      2 cycle (1/4096 + 1/2048 + 1/1024 + .. + 1) before invoking OOM-Killer.
      but if 10,0000 thrreads enter DEF_PRIORITY reclaim at the same time, the
      system have higher memory pressure than priority==0 (1/4096*10,000 > 2).
      prev_priority can't solve such multithreads workload issue. In other word,
      prev_priority concept assume the sysmtem don't have lots threads."

      memcg: fix css_is_ancestor() RCU locking · 747388d7
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      Some callers (in memcontrol.c) calls css_is_ancestor() without
      rcu_read_lock.  Because css_is_ancestor() has to access RCU protected
      data, it should be under rcu_read_lock().
      
      This makes css_is_ancestor() itself does safe access to RCU protected
      area.  (At least, "root" can have refcnt==0 if it's not an ancestor of
      "child".  So, we need rcu_read_lock().)

      memcg: fix css_id() RCU locking for real · 7f0f1546
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      Commit ad4ba375 ("memcg: css_id() must be
      called under rcu_read_lock()") modifies memcontol.c for fixing RCU check
      message.  But Andrew Morton pointed out that the fix doesn't seems sane
      and it was just for hidining lockdep messages.
      
      This is a patch for do proper things.  Checking again, all places,
      accessing without rcu_read_lock, that commit fixies was intentional....
      all callers of css_id() has reference count on it.  So, it's not necessary
      to be under rcu_read_lock().
      
      Considering again, we can use rcu_dereference_check for css_id().  We know
      css->id is valid if css->refcnt > 0.  (css->id never changes and freed
      after css->refcnt going to be 0.)
      
      This patch makes use of rcu_dereference_check() in css_id/depth and remove
      unnecessary rcu-read-lock added by the commit.

      memcg: fix oom kill behavior · 867578cb
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      In current page-fault code,
      
      	handle_mm_fault()
      		-> ...
      		-> mem_cgroup_charge()
      		-> map page or handle error.
      	-> check return code.
      
      If page fault's return code is VM_FAULT_OOM, page_fault_out_of_memory() is
      called.  But if it's caused by memcg, OOM should have been already
      invoked.
      
      Then, I added a patch: a636b327.  That
      patch records last_oom_jiffies for memcg's sub-hierarchy and prevents
      page_fault_out_of_memory from being invoked in near future.
      
      But Nishimura-san reported that check by jiffies is not enough when the
      system is terribly heavy.
      
      This patch changes memcg's oom logic as.
       * If memcg causes OOM-kill, continue to retry.
       * remove jiffies check which is used now.
       * add memcg-oom-lock which works like perzone oom lock.
       * If current is killed(as a process), bypass charge.
      
      Something more sophisticated can be added but this pactch does
      fundamental things.
      TODO:
       - add oom notifier
       - add permemcg disable-oom-kill flag and freezer at oom.
       - more chances for wake up oom waiter (when changing memory limit etc..)

      memcg : share event counter rather than duplicate · d2265e6f
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      Memcg has 2 eventcountes which counts "the same" event.  Just usages are
      different from each other.  This patch tries to reduce event counter.
      
      Now logic uses "only increment, no reset" counter and masks for each
      checks.  Softlimit chesk was done per 1000 evetns.  So, the similar check
      can be done by !(new_counter & 0x3ff).  Threshold check was done per 100
      events.  So, the similar check can be done by (!new_counter & 0x7f)
      
      ALL event checks are done right after EVENT percpu counter is updated.

      memcg: update threshold and softlimit at commit · 430e4863
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      Presently, move_task does "batched" precharge.  Because res_counter or
      css's refcnt are not-scalable jobs for memcg, try_charge_()..  tend to be
      done in batched manner if allowed.
      
      Now, softlimit and threshold check their event counter in try_charge, but
      the charge is not a per-page event.  And event counter is not updated at
      charge().  Moreover, precharge doesn't pass "page" to try_charge() and
      softlimit tree will be never updated until uncharge() causes an event."
      
      So the best place to check the event counter is commit_charge().  This is
      per-page event by its nature.  This patch move checks to there.

      memcg: use generic percpu instead of private implementation · c62b1a3b
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      When per-cpu counter for memcg was implemneted, dynamic percpu allocator
      was not very good.  But now, we have good one and useful macros.  This
      patch replaces memcg's private percpu counter implementation with generic
      dynamic percpu allocator.
      
      The benefits are
      	- We can remove private implementation.
      	- The counters will be NUMA-aware. (Current one is not...)
      	- This patch makes sizeof struct mem_cgroup smaller. Then,
      	  struct mem_cgroup may be fit in page size on small config.
              - About basic performance aspects, see below.

       This performance improvement is not big and will be invisible in real world
       applications. But this result shows this patch has some good effect even

       2. do page fault repeatedly on each process.
       3. after 60secs, kill all childredn and exit.
      
      (3 is necessary for getting stable data, this is improvement from previous one.)

      memcg: implement memory thresholds · 2e72b634
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      It allows to register multiple memory and memsw thresholds and gets
      notifications when it crosses.
      
      To register a threshold application need:
      - create an eventfd;
      - open memory.usage_in_bytes or memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes;
      - write string like "<event_fd> <memory.usage_in_bytes> <threshold>" to
        cgroup.event_control.
      
      Application will be notified through eventfd when memory usage crosses
      threshold in any direction.
      
      It's applicable for root and non-root cgroup.
      
      It uses stats to track memory usage, simmilar to soft limits. It checks
      if we need to send event to userspace on every 100 page in/out. I guess
      it's good compromise between performance and accuracy of thresholds.

      memcg: rework usage of stats by soft limit · 378ce724
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      Instead of incrementing counter on each page in/out and comparing it with
      constant, we set counter to constant, decrement counter on each page
      in/out and compare it with zero.  We want to make comparing as fast as
      possible.  On many RISC systems (probably not only RISC) comparing with
      zero is more effective than comparing with a constant, since not every
      constant can be immediate operand for compare instruction.
      
      Also, I've renamed MEM_CGROUP_STAT_EVENTS to MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SOFTLIMIT,
      since really it's not a generic counter.

      memcg: improve performance in moving swap charge · 483c30b5
      Daisuke Nishimura 提交于
      Try to reduce overheads in moving swap charge by:
      
      - Adds a new function(__mem_cgroup_put), which takes "count" as a arg and
        decrement mem->refcnt by "count".
      - Removed res_counter_uncharge, css_put, and mem_cgroup_put from the path
        of moving swap account, and consolidate all of them into mem_cgroup_clear_mc.
        We cannot do that about mc.to->refcnt.
      
      These changes reduces the overhead from 1.35sec to 0.9sec to move charges
      of 1G anonymous memory(including 500MB swap) in my test environment.

      memcg: move charges of anonymous swap · 02491447
      Daisuke Nishimura 提交于
      This patch is another core part of this move-charge-at-task-migration
      feature.  It enables moving charges of anonymous swaps.
      
      To move the charge of swap, we need to exchange swap_cgroup's record.
      
      In current implementation, swap_cgroup's record is protected by:
      
        - page lock: if the entry is on swap cache.
        - swap_lock: if the entry is not on swap cache.
      
      This works well in usual swap-in/out activity.
      
      But this behavior make the feature of moving swap charge check many
      conditions to exchange swap_cgroup's record safely.
      
      So I changed modification of swap_cgroup's recored(swap_cgroup_record())
      to use xchg, and define a new function to cmpxchg swap_cgroup's record.
      
      This patch also enables moving charge of non pte_present but not uncharged
      swap caches, which can be exist on swap-out path, by getting the target
      pages via find_get_page() as do_mincore() does.

      Daisuke Nishimura 提交于
      Try to reduce overheads in moving charge by:
      
      - Instead of calling res_counter_uncharge() against the old cgroup in
        __mem_cgroup_move_account() everytime, call res_counter_uncharge() at the end
        of task migration once.
      - removed css_get(&to->css) from __mem_cgroup_move_account() because callers
        should have already called css_get(). And removed css_put(&to->css) too,
        which was called by callers of move_account on success of move_account.
      - Instead of calling __mem_cgroup_try_charge(), i.e. res_counter_charge(),
        repeatedly, call res_counter_charge(PAGE_SIZE * count) in can_attach() if
        possible.
      - Instead of calling css_get()/css_put() repeatedly, make use of coalesce
        __css_get()/__css_put() if possible.

        count of pre-charges and other information.
      - At can_attach(), get anon_rss of the target mm, call __mem_cgroup_try_charge()
        repeatedly and count up mc.precharge.
      - At attach(), parse the page table, find a target page to be move, and call
        mem_cgroup_move_account() about the page.
      - Cancel all precharges if mc.precharge > 0 on failure or at the end of
        task move.

      memcg: add interface to move charge at task migration · 7dc74be0
      Daisuke Nishimura 提交于
      In current memcg, charges associated with a task aren't moved to the new
      cgroup at task migration.  Some users feel this behavior to be strange.
      These patches are for this feature, that is, for charging to the new
      cgroup and, of course, uncharging from the old cgroup at task migration.
      
      This patch adds "memory.move_charge_at_immigrate" file, which is a flag
      file to determine whether charges should be moved to the new cgroup at
      task migration or not and what type of charges should be moved.  This
      patch also adds read and write handlers of the file.
      
      This patch also adds no-op handlers for this feature.  These handlers will
      be implemented in later patches.  And you cannot write any values other
      than 0 to move_charge_at_immigrate yet.

      memcg: ensure list is empty at rmdir · fce66477
      Daisuke Nishimura 提交于
      Current mem_cgroup_force_empty() only ensures mem->res.usage == 0 on
      success.  But this doesn't guarantee memcg's LRU is really empty, because
      there are some cases in which !PageCgrupUsed pages exist on memcg's LRU.
      
      For example:
      - Pages can be uncharged by its owner process while they are on LRU.
      - race between mem_cgroup_add_lru_list() and __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common().
      
      So there can be a case in which the usage is zero but some of the LRUs are not empty.
      
      OTOH, mem_cgroup_del_lru_list(), which can be called asynchronously with
      rmdir, accesses the mem_cgroup, so this access can cause a problem if it
      races with rmdir because the mem_cgroup might have been freed by rmdir.
      
      Actually, I saw a bug which seems to be caused by this race.

      The problem here is pages on LRU may contain pointer to stale memcg.  To
      make res->usage to be 0, all pages on memcg must be uncharged or moved to
      another(parent) memcg.  Moved page_cgroup have already removed from
      original LRU, but uncharged page_cgroup contains pointer to memcg withou
      PCG_USED bit.  (This asynchronous LRU work is for improving performance.)
      If PCG_USED bit is not set, page_cgroup will never be added to memcg's
      LRU.  So, about pages not on LRU, they never access stale pointer.  Then,
      what we have to take care of is page_cgroup _on_ LRU list.  This patch
      fixes this problem by making mem_cgroup_force_empty() visit all LRUs
      before exiting its loop and guarantee there are no pages on its LRU.
