Hi
This is a rework of my v2 series taking into account Paul
Turner's comments. All the series is the same except for
the patch that collets nr_switches that is now completely reworked.
It is out of schedule(), relegated to a scheduler hook. Only difference
from Paul's suggestion is that I added a new one, instead of messing with
put_prev_task + pick_next_task pairs. In the patchset that adds it,
I'll try to argue for my solution.
Hope this is acceptable, and please let me know of any other concerns.
v2:
* completely reworked nr_switches gathering
* separated per-se sleep_start to be more clear about it
Glauber Costa (6):
measure exec_clock for rt sched entities
account guest time per-cgroup as well.
expose fine-grained per-cpu data for cpuacct stats
add a new scheduler hook for context switch
Also record sleep start for a task group
expose per-taskgroup schedstats in cgroup

[PATCH v3 4/6] add a new scheduler hook for context switch [message #46602 is a reply to message #46601] |

To be able to count the number of switches per-cgroup, and merging
Paul's hint that it would be better to do it in fair.c and rt.c,
I am introducing a new write-side walk through a new scheduler hook,
called at every context switch away from a task (prev).
Read-side is greatly simplified, and as I'll show, the performance impact
does not seem huge. First, aside from the function call, this walk is
O(depth), which is not likely to be huge (if it is, the performance
impact is indeed bad - but one can argue this is a good punishment)
Also, this walk is likely to be cache-hot, since it is at most the very
same loop done by put_prev_task, except it loops depth - 1 instead of depth
times. This is specially important not to hurt tasks in the root cgroup,
that will pay just a branch.
I am introducing a new hook, because the existing ones didn't seem
appropriate. The main possibilities would be put_prev_task and
pick_next_task.
With pick_next_task, there are two main problems:
1) first, the loop is only cache hot in pick_next_task if tasks actually
belong to the same class and group as prev. Depending on the workload,
this is possibly unlikely.
2) This is vulnerable to wrongdoings in accountings when exiting to idle.
Consider two groups A and B with a following pattern: A exits to idle,
but after that, B is scheduled. B, on the other hand, always get back
to itself when it yields to idle. This means that the to-idle transition
in A is never noted.
So because of that, I do believe that prev is the right point of that.
However, put_prev_task is called many times from multiple places,
and the logic to differentiate a context switch from another kind of
put would make a mess out of it.
On a 4-way x86_64, hackbench -pipe 1 process 4000 shows the following results:
- units are seconds to complete the whole benchmark
- percentual stdev for easier assesment
Task sitting in the root cgroup:
Without patchset: 4.857700 (0.69 %)
With patchset: 4.863700 (0.63 %)
Difference : 0.12 %
Task sitting in a 3-level depth cgroup:
Without patchset: 5.120867 (1.60 %)
With patchset: 5.113800 (0.41 %)
Difference : 0.13 %
Task sitting in a 30-level depth cgroup (totally crazy scenario):
Without patchset: 8.829385 (2.63 %)
With patchset: 9.975467 (2.80 %)
Difference : 12 %
For any sane use case, the user is unlikely to be nesting for much more than
3-levels. For that, and for the important case for most people, the difference
is inside the standard deviation and can be said to be negligible.
Although the patch does add a penalty, it only does that for
deeply nested scenarios (but those are already paying a 100 % penalty
against no-nesting even without the patchset!)
I hope this approach is acceptable.

[PATCH v3 6/6] expose per-taskgroup schedstats in cgroup [message #46603 is a reply to message #46601] |
Wed, 30 May 2012 09:48 ![Go to previous message Go to previous message](/theme/ovz3/images/up.png) ![Go to next message Go to next message](/theme/ovz3/images/down.png) |

This patch aims at exposing stat information per-cgroup, such as:
* idle time,
* iowait time,
* steal time,
* # context switches
and friends. The ultimate goal is to be able to present a per-container view of
/proc/stat inside a container. With this patch, everything that is needed to do
that is in place, except for number of tasks.
For most of the data, I achieve that by hooking into the schedstats framework,
so although the overhead of that is prone to discussion, I am not adding anything,
but reusing what's already there instead. The exception being that the data is
now computed and stored in non-task se's as well, instead of entity_is_task() branches.
However, I expect this to be minimum comparing to the alternative of adding new
hierarchy walks. Those are kept intact.
The format of the new file added is the same as the one recently
introduced for cpuacct:
cpu0.idle X
cpu0.steal Y
...
cpu1.idle X1
cpu1.steal Y1
...

[PATCH v3 3/6] expose fine-grained per-cpu data for cpuacct stats [message #46604 is a reply to message #46601] |

The cpuacct cgroup already exposes user and system numbers in a per-cgroup
fashion. But they are a summation along the whole group, not a per-cpu figure.
Also, they are coarse-grained version of the stats usually shown at places
like /proc/stat.
I want to have enough cgroup data to emulate the /proc/stat interface. To
achieve that, I am creating a new file "stat_percpu" that displays the
fine-grained per-cpu data. The original data is left alone.
The format of this file resembles the one found in the usual cgroup's stat
files. But of course, the fields will be repeated, one per cpu, and prefixed
with the cpu number.
Therefore, we'll have something like:
cpu0.user X
cpu0.system Y
...
cpu1.user X1
cpu1.system Y1
...

For simetry with the cfq tasks, measure exec_clock for the rt
sched entities (rt_se).
This can be used in a number of fashions. For instance, to
compute total cpu usage in a cgroup that is generated by
rt tasks.

When we're dealing with a task group, instead of a task, also record
the start of its sleep time. Since the test agains TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
does not really make sense and lack an obvious analogous, we always
record it as sleep_start, never block_start.

Symmetry methinks.. anyway, where is the symmetry?, fair.c:update_curr()

See, this just makes me sad.. you now have a double
for_each_sched_rt_entity() loop.

It does implicitly, because fair.c:update_curr() is called from
within enqueue_task(), that is called for_each_sched_entity in
enqueue_task_fair().

The way I read the rt.c code, it it is called from enqueue_task_rt only
once.

What's with hotplug ?
If you mean we should accumulate that on hotplug, I don't see why. We
certainly don't do that for the tick-based counters. Or do you mean I am
missing a get_online_cpus() lock ?
humm, I don't see it being taken on other loops like that

Who's to say all cpus are online at this point? If you don't want to
make the files come and go with hotplug, one should use
for_each_possible_cpu().

I don't oppose that.
But I don't really parse what you mean by "make the files go away". We
have just one file, with multiple entries. The entries are in key:value
form, so I don't see a huge problem in having some entries disappearing.
As a matter of fact, this is exactly what happens in /proc/stat when you
offline a cpu: the correspondent line will stop showing up.

Does this even need to be hierarchical? While it's natural for it to
be in the CFS case, it feels forced here.
You could instead make this rt_rq->local_exec_clock charging only to
the parenting rt_rq and post-aggregate when you want to report. The
only thing you'd need to be careful of is also accounting children
somewhere on the parent on destruction (reaped_exec_clock?).
Harking back to symmetry, local_exec_clock is also a potentially
useful stat on the CFS side of things since it allows you to usefully
disambiguate versus your children (common case where this is useful is
calculating usage of threads in the root cgroup); so it wouldn't need
to be unique to rt_rq.

/me cries a little.. I was hoping to fix put_prev_task.. see:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/16/487
(I've actually got a 4 patch split out of that if anybody cares)
Its just one of those things stuck behind the -ENOTIME tree :/
The plan is to 'merge' put_prev_task and pick_next_task into one and
avoid a lot of the up-down walking.
You just added a constraint for always having to walk the entire thing
up -- cgroups is too damn expensive already, we should be trimming this
nonsense not bloating it.

I'm hoping the fold of put_prev in pick_next as per that patch I
referenced could help some, but the cross class switch makes that messy
still :/
Reducing the indirect calls is good, adding them is bad.. which makes me
the worst offender I'm afraid.

I don't know if there's much that can be trivially done about it but I
suspect these are a bit of a memory allocation time-bomb on a many-CPU
machine. The cgroup:seq_file mating (via read_map) treats everything
as /one/ record. This means that seq_printf is going to end up
eventually allocating a buffer that can fit _everything_ (as well as
every power-of-2 on the way there). Adding insult to injury is that
that the backing buffer is kmalloc() not vmalloc().
200+ bytes per-cpu above really is not unreasonable (46 bytes just for
the text, plus a byte per base 10 digit we end up reporting), but that
then leaves us looking at order-12/13 allocations just to print this
thing when there are O(many) cpus.

You can't sanely account sleep on a group entity.
Suppose you have 2 sleepers on 1 cpu: you account 1s/s of idle
Suppose you have 2 sleepers now on 2 cpus: you account 2s/s of idle
Furthermore, in the latter case when one wakes up you still continue
to accrue sleep time whereas in the former you don't.
Just don't report/collect this.

And how's /proc/stat different ?
It will suffer from the very same problems, since it also have this very
same information (actually more, since I am skipping some), per-cpu.
Now, if you guys are okay with a file per-cpu, I can do it as well.
It pollutes the filesystem, but at least protects against the fact that
this is kmalloc-backed.

sleep_start is not for iowait. This is for idle. And I know no other way
to collect idle time per cgroup, other than the time during which it was
out of the runqueue.
Now what you say about the sleepers don't make that much sense for idle
because this information is per-cpu as well.
When the se is being dequeued, it means none of its children is running
on that runqueue. That's idle.

So,
a) the information in /proc/stat is actually much denser since it's
"cpu VAL VAL VAL VAL" as opposed to "cpuX.FIELD VAL"
b) If it became a problem the /proc/stat case is actually fairly
trivially fixable by defining each cpu as a record and "everything
else" as a magic im-out-of-cpus value.

As I prefaced, I'm not sure there's much that can be trivially done
about it. This is really a fundamental limitation of how read_map()
works.
What we really need is a proper seq_file exposed through cftypes.

Tejun, would you be okay with an interface that exports somehow the raw
seq_file in cgroups ?
This way we could call s_show for each cpu and get away with the memory
usage problem, I presume
