17 years agocpuset: remove sched domain hooks from cpusets
Paul Jackson [Tue, 16 Oct 2007 08:27:43 +0000 (01:27 -0700)]
cpuset: remove sched domain hooks from cpusets

Remove the cpuset hooks that defined sched domains depending on the setting
of the 'cpu_exclusive' flag.

The cpu_exclusive flag can only be set on a child if it is set on the
parent.

This made that flag painfully unsuitable for use as a flag defining a
partitioning of a system.

It was entirely unobvious to a cpuset user what partitioning of sched
domains they would be causing when they set that one cpu_exclusive bit on
one cpuset, because it depended on what CPUs were in the remainder of that
cpusets siblings and child cpusets, after subtracting out other
cpu_exclusive cpusets.

Furthermore, there was no way on production systems to query the
result.

Using the cpu_exclusive flag for this was simply wrong from the get go.

Fortunately, it was sufficiently borked that so far as I know, almost no
successful use has been made of this.  One real time group did use it to
affectively isolate CPUs from any load balancing efforts.  They are willing
to adapt to alternative mechanisms for this, such as someway to manipulate
the list of isolated CPUs on a running system.  They can do without this
present cpu_exclusive based mechanism while we develop an alternative.

There is a real risk, to the best of my understanding, of users
accidentally setting up a partitioned scheduler domains, inhibiting desired
load balancing across all their CPUs, due to the nonobvious (from the
cpuset perspective) side affects of the cpu_exclusive flag.

Furthermore, since there was no way on a running system to see what one was
doing with sched domains, this change will be invisible to any using code.
Unless they have real insight to the scheduler load balancing choices, they
will be unable to detect that this change has been made in the kernel's
behaviour.

Initial discussion on lkml of this patch has generated much comment.  My
(probably controversial) take on that discussion is that it has reached a
rough concensus that the current cpuset cpu_exclusive mechanism for
defining sched domains is borked.  There is no concensus on the
replacement.  But since we can remove this mechanism, and since its
continued presence risks causing unwanted partitioning of the schedulers
load balancing, we should remove it while we can, as we proceed to work the
replacement scheduler domain mechanisms.

patch adds a manager and interface for matching up client requests for DCA

CPUs and chipsets can require different sets of tag bits, and the methods
for determining the correct bits may be simple hardcoding or may be a
hardware specific magic incantation.  This interface is a way for DCA

The calculation of CONFIG_STUB_CODE and CONFIG_STUB_DATA didn't take into

cold.

I'd rather not duplicate the four known host vmsplit cases for each of these
symbols.  I'd also like to calculate them based on the highest userspace
address.

The Kconfig language seems not to allow calculation of hex constants, so I
moved this to as-layout.h.  CONFIG_STUB_CODE, CONFIG_STUB_DATA, and
CONFIG_STUB_START are now gone.  In their place are STUB_CODE, STUB_DATA, and
STUB_START in as-layout.h.

i386 and x86_64 seem to differ as to whether an unadorned constant is an int
or a long, so I cast them to unsigned long so they can be printed
consistently.  However, they are also used in stub.S, where C types don't work
so well.  So, there are ASM_ versions of these constants for use in stub.S.  I
also ifdef-ed the non-asm-friendly portion of as-layout.h.

With this in place, most of the rest of this patch is changing CONFIG_STUB_*
to STUB_*, except in stub.S, where they are changed to ASM_STUB_*.

defconfig has the old symbols deleted.

I also print these addresses out in case there is any problem mapping them on
the host.

uml: throw out CONFIG_MODE_TT

This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while.

This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files.

The removal is done as follows:
remove all code, config options, and files which depend on
CONFIG_MODE_TT
get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to
call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their
skas portions
replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents

There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including
mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context.  These
are all replaced with their skas-specific contents.

As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all
files that were changed.  There are three such patches, one for each phase,
covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones.

I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when
it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches.

The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused
inexplicable crashes under tt mode.  Since that is no longer a problem, this
can now go in.

This patch:

Start getting rid of tt mode support.

This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files
which depend on it.

CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included
unconditionally.

The few changed lines are in re-written Kconfig help, lines which needed
something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't
strictly deletions.

state.  In skas mode, where processes run in a restoring floating-point state
on kernel entry and exit is pointless.

This eliminates most of arch/um/os-Linux/sys-{i386,x86_64}/registers.c.  Most
of what remained is now arch-indpendent, and can be moved up to
arch/um/os-Linux/registers.c.  Both arches need the jmp_buf accessor
get_thread_reg, and i386 needs {save,restore}_fp_regs because it cheats during
sigreturn by getting the fp state using ptrace rather than copying it out of
the process sigcontext.

After this, it turns out that arch/um/include/skas/mode-skas.h is almost
completely unneeded.  The declarations in it are variables which either don't
exist or which don't have global scope.  The one exception is
kill_off_processes_skas.  If that's removed, this header can be deleted.

uml: fix console writing bugs

The previous console cleanup patch switched generic_read and generic_write
from calling os_{read,write}_file to calling read and write directly.  Because
the calling convention is different, they now need to get any error from errno
rather than the return value.  I did this for generic_read, but forgot about
generic_write.

While chasing some output corruption, I noticed that line_write was
unnecessarily calling flush_buffer, and deleted it.  I don't understand why,
but the corruption disappeared.  This is unneeded because there already is a
perfectly good mechanism for finding out when the host output device has some
room to write data - there is an interrupt that comes in when writes can
happen again.  line_write calling flush_buffer seemed to just be an attempt to
opportunistically get some data out to the host.

I also made write_chan short-circuit calling into the host-level code for
zero-length writes.  Calling libc write with a length of zero conflated write
not being able to write anything with asking it not to write anything.  Better
to just cut it off as soon as possible.

hugetlb: fix hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes

Anton found a problem with the hugetlb pool allocation when some nodes have
no memory (http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118133042025995&w=2).  Lee worked
on versions that tried to fix it, but none were accepted.  Christoph has
created a set of patches which allow for GFP_THISNODE allocations to fail
if the node has no memory.

Currently, alloc_fresh_huge_page() returns NULL when it is not able to
allocate a huge page on the current node, as specified by its custom
interleave variable.  The callers of this function, though, assume that a
failure in alloc_fresh_huge_page() indicates no hugepages can be allocated
on the system period.  This might not be the case, for instance, if we have
an uneven NUMA system, and we happen to try to allocate a hugepage on a
node with less memory and fail, while there is still plenty of free memory
on the other nodes.

To correct this, make alloc_fresh_huge_page() search through all online
nodes before deciding no hugepages can be allocated.  Add a helper function
for actually allocating the hugepage.  Use a new global nid iterator to
control which nid to allocate on.

Note: we expect particular semantics for __GFP_THISNODE, which are now
enforced even for memoryless nodes.  That is, there is should be no
fallback to other nodes.  Therefore, we rely on the nid passed into
alloc_pages_node() to be the nid the page comes from.  If this is
incorrect, accounting will break.

Tested on x86 !NUMA, x86 NUMA, x86_64 NUMA and ppc64 NUMA (with 2

hugetlb: Move update_and_free_page

Dynamic huge page pool resizing.

In most real-world scenarios, configuring the size of the hugetlb pool
correctly is a difficult task.  If too few pages are allocated to the pool,
applications using MAP_SHARED may fail to mmap() a hugepage region and
applications using MAP_PRIVATE may receive SIGBUS.  Isolating too much memory
in the hugetlb pool means it is not available for other uses, especially those
programs not using huge pages.

The obvious answer is to let the hugetlb pool grow and shrink in response to
the runtime demand for huge pages.  The work Mel Gorman has been doing to
establish a memory zone for movable memory allocations makes dynamically
resizing the hugetlb pool reliable within the limits of that zone.  This patch
series implements dynamic pool resizing for private and shared mappings while
being careful to maintain existing semantics.  Please reply with your comments
and feedback; even just to say whether it would be a useful feature to you.
Thanks.

How it works
============

Upon depletion of the hugetlb pool, rather than reporting an error immediately,
first try and allocate the needed huge pages directly from the buddy allocator.
Care must be taken to avoid unbounded growth of the hugetlb pool, so the
hugetlb filesystem quota is used to limit overall pool size.

The real work begins when we decide there is a shortage of huge pages.  What
happens next depends on whether the pages are for a private or shared mapping.
Private mappings are straightforward.  At fault time, if alloc_huge_page()
fails, we allocate a page from the buddy allocator and increment the source
node's surplus_huge_pages counter.  When free_huge_page() is called for a page
on a node with a surplus, the page is freed directly to the buddy allocator
instead of the hugetlb pool.

Because shared mappings require all of the pages to be reserved up front, some
additional work must be done at mmap() to support them.  We determine the
reservation shortage and allocate the required number of pages all at once.
These pages are then added to the hugetlb pool and marked reserved.  Where that
is not possible the mmap() will fail.  As with private mappings, the
appropriate surplus counters are updated.  Since reserved huge pages won't
necessarily be used by the process, we can't be sure that free_huge_page() will
always be called to return surplus pages to the buddy allocator.  To prevent
the huge page pool from bloating, we must free unused surplus pages when their
reservation has ended.

Controlling it
==============

With the entire patch series applied, pool resizing is off by default so unless
specific action is taken, the semantics are unchanged.

To take advantage of the flexibility afforded by this patch series one must
tolerate a change in semantics.  To control hugetlb pool growth, the following
techniques can be employed:

 * A sysctl tunable to enable/disable the feature entirely
 * The size= mount option for hugetlbfs filesystems to limit pool size

Performance
===========

When contiguous memory is readily available, it is expected that the cost of
dynamicly resizing the pool will be small.  This series has been performance
tested with 'stream' to measure this cost.

Stream (http://www.cs.virginia.edu/stream/) was linked with libhugetlbfs to
enable remapping of the text and data/bss segments into huge pages.
