2025-03-31fuse: add default_request_timeout and max_request_timeout sysctlsJoanne Koong1-0/+25
Introduce two new sysctls, "default_request_timeout" and "max_request_timeout". These control how long (in seconds) a server can take to reply to a request. If the server does not reply by the timeout, then the connection will be aborted. The upper bound on these sysctl values is 65535. "default_request_timeout" sets the default timeout if no timeout is specified by the fuse server on mount. 0 (default) indicates no default timeout should be enforced. If the server did specify a timeout, then default_request_timeout will be ignored. "max_request_timeout" sets the max amount of time the server may take to reply to a request. 0 (default) indicates no maximum timeout. If max_request_timeout is set and the fuse server attempts to set a timeout greater than max_request_timeout, the system will use max_request_timeout as the timeout. Similarly, if default_request_timeout is greater than max_request_timeout, the system will use max_request_timeout as the timeout. If the server does not request a timeout and default_request_timeout is set to 0 but max_request_timeout is set, then the timeout will be max_request_timeout. Please note that these timeouts are not 100% precise. The request may take roughly an extra FUSE_TIMEOUT_TIMER_FREQ seconds beyond the set max timeout due to how it's internally implemented. $ sysctl -a | grep fuse.default_request_timeout fs.fuse.default_request_timeout = 0 $ echo 65536 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/fuse/default_request_timeout tee: /proc/sys/fs/fuse/default_request_timeout: Invalid argument $ echo 65535 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/fuse/default_request_timeout 65535 $ sysctl -a | grep fuse.default_request_timeout fs.fuse.default_request_timeout = 65535 $ echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/fuse/default_request_timeout 0 $ sysctl -a | grep fuse.default_request_timeout fs.fuse.default_request_timeout = 0 [Luis Henriques: Limit the timeout to the range [FUSE_TIMEOUT_TIMER_FREQ, fuse_max_req_timeout]] Signed-off-by: Joanne Koong <joannelkoong@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Bernd Schubert <bschubert@ddn.com> Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com> Reviewed-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Luis Henriques <luis@igalia.com> Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
2025-03-17mm: page_alloc: defrag_modeJohannes Weiner1-0/+9
The page allocator groups requests by migratetype to stave off fragmentation. However, in practice this is routinely defeated by the fact that it gives up *before* invoking reclaim and compaction - which may well produce suitable pages. As a result, fragmentation of physical memory is a common ongoing process in many load scenarios. Fragmentation deteriorates compaction's ability to produce huge pages. Depending on the lifetime of the fragmenting allocations, those effects can be long-lasting or even permanent, requiring drastic measures like forcible idle states or even reboots as the only reliable ways to recover the address space for THP production. In a kernel build test with supplemental THP pressure, the THP allocation rate steadily declines over 15 runs: thp_fault_alloc 61988 56474 57258 50187 52388 55409 52925 47648 43669 40621 36077 41721 36685 34641 33215 This is a hurdle in adopting THP in any environment where hosts are shared between multiple overlapping workloads (cloud environments), and rarely experience true idle periods. To make THP a reliable and predictable optimization, there needs to be a stronger guarantee to avoid such fragmentation. Introduce defrag_mode. When enabled, reclaim/compaction is invoked to its full extent *before* falling back. Specifically, ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT is enforced on the allocator fastpath and the reclaiming slowpath. For now, fallbacks are permitted to avert OOMs. There is a plan to add defrag_mode=2 to prefer OOMs over fragmentation, but this requires additional prep work in compaction and the reserve management to make it ready for all possible allocation contexts. The following test results are from a kernel build with periodic bursts of THP allocations, over 15 runs: vanilla defrag_mode=1 @claimer[unmovable]: 189 103 @claimer[movable]: 92 103 @claimer[reclaimable]: 207 61 @pollute[unmovable from movable]: 25 0 @pollute[unmovable from reclaimable]: 28 0 @pollute[movable from unmovable]: 38835 0 @pollute[movable from reclaimable]: 147136 0 @pollute[reclaimable from unmovable]: 178 0 @pollute[reclaimable from movable]: 33 0 @steal[unmovable from movable]: 11 0 @steal[unmovable from reclaimable]: 5 0 @steal[reclaimable from unmovable]: 107 0 @steal[reclaimable from movable]: 90 0 @steal[movable from reclaimable]: 354 0 @steal[movable from unmovable]: 130 0 Both types of polluting fallbacks are eliminated in this workload. Interestingly, whole block conversions are reduced as well. This is because once a block is claimed for a type, its empty space remains available for future allocations, instead of being padded with fallbacks; this allows the native type to group up instead of spreading out to new blocks. The assumption in the allocator has been that pollution from movable allocations is less harmful than from other types, since they can be reclaimed or migrated out should the space be needed. However, since fallbacks occur *before* reclaim/compaction is invoked, movable pollution will still cause non-movable allocations to spread out and claim more blocks. Without fragmentation, THP rates hold steady with defrag_mode=1: thp_fault_alloc 32478 20725 45045 32130 14018 21711 40791 29134 34458 45381 28305 17265 22584 28454 30850 While the downward trend is eliminated, the keen reader will of course notice that the baseline rate is much smaller than the vanilla kernel's to begin with. This is due to deficiencies in how reclaim and compaction are currently driven: ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT increases the extent to which smaller allocations are competing with THPs for pageblocks, while making no effort themselves to reclaim or compact beyond their own request size. This effect already exists with the current usage of ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT, but is amplified by defrag_mode insisting on whole block stealing much more strongly. Subsequent patches will address defrag_mode reclaim strategy to raise the THP success baseline above the vanilla kernel.

2024-10-25fuse: enable dynamic configuration of fuse max pages limit (FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES)Joanne Koong1-0/+10
Introduce the capability to dynamically configure the max pages limit (FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES) through a sysctl. This allows system administrators to dynamically set the maximum number of pages that can be used for servicing requests in fuse. Previously, this is gated by FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES which is statically set to 256 pages. One result of this is that the buffer size for a write request is limited to 1 MiB on a 4k-page system. The default value for this sysctl is the original limit (256 pages). $ sysctl -a | grep max_pages_limit fs.fuse.max_pages_limit = 256 $ sysctl -n fs.fuse.max_pages_limit 256 $ echo 1024 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit 1024 $ sysctl -n fs.fuse.max_pages_limit 1024 $ echo 65536 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit tee: /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit: Invalid argument $ echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit tee: /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit: Invalid argument $ echo 65535 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit 65535 $ sysctl -n fs.fuse.max_pages_limit 65535 Signed-off-by: Joanne Koong <joannelkoong@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com> Reviewed-by: Sweet Tea Dorminy <sweettea-kernel@dorminy.me> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
2024-10-22vfs: Add a sysctl for automated deletion of dentryYafang Shao1-0/+5
Commit 681ce8623567 ("vfs: Delete the associated dentry when deleting a file") introduced an unconditional deletion of the associated dentry when a file is removed. However, this led to performance regressions in specific benchmarks, such as ilebench.sum_operations/s [0], prompting a revert in commit 4a4be1ad3a6e ("Revert "vfs: Delete the associated dentry when deleting a file""). This patch seeks to reintroduce the concept conditionally, where the associated dentry is deleted only when the user explicitly opts for it during file removal. A new sysctl fs.automated_deletion_of_dentry is added for this purpose. Its default value is set to 0. There are practical use cases for this proactive dentry reclamation. Besides the Elasticsearch use case mentioned in commit 681ce8623567, additional examples have surfaced in our production environment. For instance, in video rendering services that continuously generate temporary files, upload them to persistent storage servers, and then delete them, a large number of negative dentries—serving no useful purpose—accumulate. Users in such cases would benefit from proactively reclaiming these negative dentries.

This will add eBPF JIT support to the 32-bit ARCv2 processors. The implementation is qualified by running the BPF tests on a Synopsys HSDK board with "ARC HS38 v2.1c at 500 MHz" as the 4-core CPU. The test_bpf.ko reports 2-10 fold improvements in execution time of its tests. For instance: test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:0 704 1766 2104 PASS test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:1 120 224 260 PASS test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:0 238 PASS test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:1 23 PASS test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:0 2034681 PASS test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:1 1020022 PASS Deployment and structure ------------------------ The related codes are added to "arch/arc/net": - bpf_jit.h -- The interface that a back-end translator must provide - bpf_jit_core.c -- Knows how to handle the input eBPF byte stream - bpf_jit_arcv2.c -- The back-end code that knows the translation logic The bpf_int_jit_compile() at the end of bpf_jit_core.c is the entrance to the whole process.

2024-04-25lib: add allocation tagging support for memory allocation profilingSuren Baghdasaryan1-0/+16
Introduce CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING which provides definitions to easily instrument memory allocators. It registers an "alloc_tags" codetag type with /proc/allocinfo interface to output allocation tag information when the feature is enabled. CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is provided for debugging the memory allocation profiling instrumentation. Memory allocation profiling can be enabled or disabled at runtime using /proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling sysctl when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n. CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT enables memory allocation profiling by default.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "Main user visible change: - User events can now have "multi formats" The current user events have a single format. If another event is created with a different format, it will fail to be created. That is, once an event name is used, it cannot be used again with a different format. This can cause issues if a library is using an event and updates its format. An application using the older format will prevent an application using the new library from registering its event. A task could also DOS another application if it knows the event names, and it creates events with different formats. The multi-format event is in a different name space from the single format. Both the event name and its format are the unique identifier. This will allow two different applications to use the same user event name but with different payloads. - Added support to have ftrace_dump_on_oops dump out instances and not just the main top level tracing buffer. Other changes: - Add eventfs_root_inode Only the root inode has a dentry that is static (never goes away) and stores it upon creation. There's no reason that the thousands of other eventfs inodes should have a pointer that never gets set in its descriptor. Create a eventfs_root_inode desciptor that has a eventfs_inode descriptor and a dentry pointer, and only the root inode will use this. - Added WARN_ON()s in eventfs There's some conditionals remaining in eventfs that should never be hit, but instead of removing them, add WARN_ON() around them to make sure that they are never hit. - Have saved_cmdlines allocation also include the map_cmdline_to_pid array The saved_cmdlines structure allocates a large amount of data to hold its mappings. Within it, it has three arrays. Two are already apart of it: map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[]. More memory can be saved by also including the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array as well. - Restructure __string() and __assign_str() macros used in TRACE_EVENT() Dynamic strings in TRACE_EVENT() are declared with: __string(name, source) And assigned with: __assign_str(name, source) In the tracepoint callback of the event, the __string() is used to get the size needed to allocate on the ring buffer and __assign_str() is used to copy the string into the ring buffer. There's a helper structure that is created in the TRACE_EVENT() macro logic that will hold the string length and its position in the ring buffer which is created by __string(). There are several trace events that have a function to create the string to save. This function is executed twice. Once for __string() and again for __assign_str(). There's no reason for this. The helper structure could also save the string it used in __string() and simply copy that into __assign_str() (it also already has its length). By using the structure to store the source string for the assignment, it means that the second argument to __assign_str() is no longer needed. It will be removed in the next merge window, but for now add a warning if the source string given to __string() is different than the source string given to __assign_str(), as the source to __assign_str() isn't even used and will be going away. - Added checks to make sure that the source of __string() is also the source of __assign_str() so that it can be safely removed in the next merge window. Included fixes that the above check found. - Other minor clean ups and fixes" * tag 'trace-v6.9-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (34 commits) tracing: Add __string_src() helper to help compilers not to get confused tracing: Use strcmp() in __assign_str() WARN_ON() check tracepoints: Use WARN() and not WARN_ON() for warnings tracing: Use div64_u64() instead of do_div() tracing: Support to dump instance traces by ftrace_dump_on_oops tracing: Remove second parameter to __assign_rel_str() tracing: Add warning if string in __assign_str() does not match __string() tracing: Add __string_len() example tracing: Remove __assign_str_len() ftrace: Fix most kernel-doc warnings tracing: Decrement the snapshot if the snapshot trigger fails to register tracing: Fix snapshot counter going between two tracers that use it tracing: Use EVENT_NULL_STR macro instead of open coding "(null)" tracing: Use ? : shortcut in trace macros tracing: Do not calculate strlen() twice for __string() fields tracing: Rework __assign_str() and __string() to not duplicate getting the string cxl/trace: Properly initialize cxl_poison region name net: hns3: tracing: fix hclgevf trace event strings drm/i915: Add missing ; to __assign_str() macros in tracepoint code NFSD: Fix nfsd_clid_class use of __string_len() macro ...
2024-03-18tracing: Support to dump instance traces by ftrace_dump_on_oopsHuang Yiwei1-6/+24
Currently ftrace only dumps the global trace buffer on an OOPs. For debugging a production usecase, instance trace will be helpful to check specific problems since global trace buffer may be used for other purposes. This patch extend the ftrace_dump_on_oops parameter to dump a specific or multiple trace instances: - ftrace_dump_on_oops=0: as before -- don't dump - ftrace_dump_on_oops[=1]: as before -- dump the global trace buffer on all CPUs - ftrace_dump_on_oops=2 or =orig_cpu: as before -- dump the global trace buffer on CPU that triggered the oops - ftrace_dump_on_oops=<instance_name>: new behavior -- dump the tracing instance matching <instance_name> - ftrace_dump_on_oops[=2/orig_cpu],<instance1_name>[=2/orig_cpu], <instrance2_name>[=2/orig_cpu]: new behavior -- dump the global trace buffer and multiple instance buffer on all CPUs, or only dump on CPU that triggered the oops if =2 or =orig_cpu is given Also, the sysctl node can handle the input accordingly.

2024-02-22panic: add option to dump blocked tasks in panic_printFeng Tang1-0/+1
For debugging kernel panics and other bugs, there is already an option of panic_print to dump all tasks' call stacks. On today's large servers running many containers, there could be thousands of tasks or more, and this will print out huge amount of call stacks, taking a lot of time (for serial console which is main target user case of panic_print). And in many cases, only those several tasks being blocked are key for the panic, so add an option to only dump blocked tasks' call stacks.

After 25b21cb2f6d6 ("[PATCH] IPC namespace core") and 4e9823111bdc ("[PATCH] IPC namespace - shm") the shared memory page count stopped being global and started counting per ipc namespace. The documentation and shmget(2) still says that shmall is a global option. shmget(2): SHMALL System-wide limit on the total amount of shared memory, measured in units of the system page size. On Linux, this limit can be read and modified via /proc/sys/kernel/shmall. I think the changes made in 2006 should be documented.
