2023-10-04mm: shrinker: make global slab shrink locklessQi Zheng1-0/+24
The shrinker_rwsem is a global read-write lock in shrinkers subsystem, which protects most operations such as slab shrink, registration and unregistration of shrinkers, etc. This can easily cause problems in the following cases. 1) When the memory pressure is high and there are many filesystems mounted or unmounted at the same time, slab shrink will be affected (down_read_trylock() failed). Such as the real workload mentioned by Kirill Tkhai: ``` One of the real workloads from my experience is start of an overcommitted node containing many starting containers after node crash (or many resuming containers after reboot for kernel update). In these cases memory pressure is huge, and the node goes round in long reclaim. ``` 2) If a shrinker is blocked (such as the case mentioned in [1]) and a writer comes in (such as mount a fs), then this writer will be blocked and cause all subsequent shrinker-related operations to be blocked. Even if there is no competitor when shrinking slab, there may still be a problem. The down_read_trylock() may become a perf hotspot with frequent calls to shrink_slab(). Because of the poor multicore scalability of atomic operations, this can lead to a significant drop in IPC (instructions per cycle). We used to implement the lockless slab shrink with SRCU [2], but then kernel test robot reported -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec test case [3], so we reverted it [4]. This commit uses the refcount+RCU method [5] proposed by Dave Chinner to re-implement the lockless global slab shrink. The memcg slab shrink is handled in the subsequent patch. For now, all shrinker instances are converted to dynamically allocated and will be freed by call_rcu(). So we can use rcu_read_{lock,unlock}() to ensure that the shrinker instance is valid. And the shrinker instance will not be run again after unregistration. So the structure that records the pointer of shrinker instance can be safely freed without waiting for the RCU read-side critical section. In this way, while we implement the lockless slab shrink, we don't need to be blocked in unregister_shrinker(). The following are the test results: stress-ng --timeout 60 --times --verify --metrics-brief --ramfs 9 & 1) Before applying this patchset: setting to a 60 second run per stressor dispatching hogs: 9 ramfs stressor bogo ops real time usr time sys time bogo ops/s bogo ops/s (secs) (secs) (secs) (real time) (usr+sys time) ramfs 473062 60.00 8.00 279.13 7884.12 1647.59 for a 60.01s run time: 1440.34s available CPU time 7.99s user time ( 0.55%) 279.13s system time ( 19.38%) 287.12s total time ( 19.93%) load average: 7.12 2.99 1.15 successful run completed in 60.01s (1 min, 0.01 secs) 2) After applying this patchset: setting to a 60 second run per stressor dispatching hogs: 9 ramfs stressor bogo ops real time usr time sys time bogo ops/s bogo ops/s (secs) (secs) (secs) (real time) (usr+sys time) ramfs 477165 60.00 8.13 281.34 7952.55 1648.40 for a 60.01s run time: 1440.33s available CPU time 8.12s user time ( 0.56%) 281.34s system time ( 19.53%) 289.46s total time ( 20.10%) load average: 6.98 3.03 1.19 successful run completed in 60.01s (1 min, 0.01 secs) We can see that the ops/s has hardly changed.

2023-10-04mm: shrinker: add a secondary array for shrinker_info::{map, nr_deferred}Qi Zheng1-0/+17
Currently, we maintain two linear arrays per node per memcg, which are shrinker_info::map and shrinker_info::nr_deferred. And we need to resize them when the shrinker_nr_max is exceeded, that is, allocate a new array, and then copy the old array to the new array, and finally free the old array by RCU. For shrinker_info::map, we do set_bit() under the RCU lock, so we may set the value into the old map which is about to be freed. This may cause the value set to be lost. The current solution is not to copy the old map when resizing, but to set all the corresponding bits in the new map to 1. This solves the data loss problem, but bring the overhead of more pointless loops while doing memcg slab shrink. For shrinker_info::nr_deferred, we will only modify it under the read lock of shrinker_rwsem, so it will not run concurrently with the resizing. But after we make memcg slab shrink lockless, there will be the same data loss problem as shrinker_info::map, and we can't work around it like the map. For such resizable arrays, the most straightforward idea is to change it to xarray, like we did for list_lru [1]. We need to do xa_store() in the list_lru_add()-->set_shrinker_bit(), but this will cause memory allocation, and the list_lru_add() doesn't accept failure. A possible solution is to pre-allocate, but the location of pre-allocation is not well determined (such as deferred_split_shrinker case). Therefore, this commit chooses to introduce the following secondary array for shrinker_info::{map, nr_deferred}: +---------------+--------+--------+-----+ | shrinker_info | unit 0 | unit 1 | ... | (secondary array) +---------------+--------+--------+-----+ | v +---------------+-----+ | nr_deferred[] | map | (leaf array) +---------------+-----+ (shrinker_info_unit) The leaf array is never freed unless the memcg is destroyed. The secondary array will be resized every time the shrinker id exceeds shrinker_nr_max. So the shrinker_info_unit can be indexed from both the old and the new shrinker_info->unit[x]. Then even if we get the old secondary array under the RCU lock, the found map and nr_deferred are also true, so the updated nr_deferred and map will not be lost.

2023-10-04mm: shrinker: add infrastructure for dynamically allocating shrinkerQi Zheng1-5/+14
Patch series "use refcount+RCU method to implement lockless slab shrink", v6. 1. Background ============= We used to implement the lockless slab shrink with SRCU [1], but then kernel test robot reported -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec test case [2], so we reverted it [3]. This patch series aims to re-implement the lockless slab shrink using the refcount+RCU method proposed by Dave Chinner [4]. [1]. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230313112819.38938-1-zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com/ [2]. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/202305230837.db2c233f-yujie.liu@intel.com/ [3]. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230609081518.3039120-1-qi.zheng@linux.dev/ [4]. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ZIJhou1d55d4H1s0@dread.disaster.area/ 2. Implementation ================= Currently, the shrinker instances can be divided into the following three types: a) global shrinker instance statically defined in the kernel, such as workingset_shadow_shrinker. b) global shrinker instance statically defined in the kernel modules, such as mmu_shrinker in x86. c) shrinker instance embedded in other structures. For case a, the memory of shrinker instance is never freed. For case b, the memory of shrinker instance will be freed after synchronize_rcu() when the module is unloaded. For case c, the memory of shrinker instance will be freed along with the structure it is embedded in. In preparation for implementing lockless slab shrink, we need to dynamically allocate those shrinker instances in case c, then the memory can be dynamically freed alone by calling kfree_rcu(). This patchset adds the following new APIs for dynamically allocating shrinker, and add a private_data field to struct shrinker to record and get the original embedded structure. 1. shrinker_alloc() 2. shrinker_register() 3. shrinker_free() In order to simplify shrinker-related APIs and make shrinker more independent of other kernel mechanisms, this patchset uses the above APIs to convert all shrinkers (including case a and b) to dynamically allocated, and then remove all existing APIs. This will also have another advantage mentioned by Dave Chinner: ``` The other advantage of this is that it will break all the existing out of tree code and third party modules using the old API and will no longer work with a kernel using lockless slab shrinkers. They need to break (both at the source and binary levels) to stop bad things from happening due to using uncoverted shrinkers in the new setup. ``` Then we free the shrinker by calling call_rcu(), and use rcu_read_{lock,unlock}() to ensure that the shrinker instance is valid. And the shrinker::refcount mechanism ensures that the shrinker instance will not be run again after unregistration. So the structure that records the pointer of shrinker instance can be safely freed without waiting for the RCU read-side critical section. In this way, while we implement the lockless slab shrink, we don't need to be blocked in unregister_shrinker() to wait RCU read-side critical section. PATCH 1: introduce new APIs PATCH 2~38: convert all shrinnkers to use new APIs PATCH 39: remove old APIs PATCH 40~41: some cleanups and preparations PATCH 42-43: implement the lockless slab shrink PATCH 44~45: convert shrinker_rwsem to mutex 3. Testing ========== 3.1 slab shrink stress test --------------------------- We can reproduce the down_read_trylock() hotspot through the following script: ``` DIR="/root/shrinker/memcg/mnt" do_create() { mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes for i in `seq 0 $1`; do mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i; echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs; mkdir -p $DIR/$i; done } do_mount() { for i in `seq $1 $2`; do mount -t tmpfs $i $DIR/$i; done } do_touch() { for i in `seq $1 $2`; do echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs; dd if=/dev/zero of=$DIR/$i/file$i bs=1M count=1 & done } case "$1" in touch) do_touch $2 $3 ;; test) do_create 4000 do_mount 0 4000 do_touch 0 3000 ;; *) exit 1 ;; esac ``` Save the above script, then run test and touch commands. Then we can use the following perf command to view hotspots: perf top -U -F 999 1) Before applying this patchset: 33.15% [kernel] [k] down_read_trylock 25.38% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab 21.75% [kernel] [k] up_read 4.45% [kernel] [k] _find_next_bit 2.27% [kernel] [k] do_shrink_slab 1.80% [kernel] [k] intel_idle_irq 1.79% [kernel] [k] shrink_lruvec 0.67% [kernel] [k] xas_descend 0.41% [kernel] [k] mem_cgroup_iter 0.40% [kernel] [k] shrink_node 0.38% [kernel] [k] list_lru_count_one 2) After applying this patchset: 64.56% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab 12.18% [kernel] [k] do_shrink_slab 3.30% [kernel] [k] __rcu_read_unlock 2.61% [kernel] [k] shrink_lruvec 2.49% [kernel] [k] __rcu_read_lock 1.93% [kernel] [k] intel_idle_irq 0.89% [kernel] [k] shrink_node 0.81% [kernel] [k] mem_cgroup_iter 0.77% [kernel] [k] mem_cgroup_calculate_protection 0.66% [kernel] [k] list_lru_count_one We can see that the first perf hotspot becomes shrink_slab, which is what we expect. 3.2 registration and unregistration stress test ----------------------------------------------- Run the command below to test: stress-ng --timeout 60 --times --verify --metrics-brief --ramfs 9 & 1) Before applying this patchset: setting to a 60 second run per stressor dispatching hogs: 9 ramfs stressor bogo ops real time usr time sys time bogo ops/s bogo ops/s (secs) (secs) (secs) (real time) (usr+sys time) ramfs 473062 60.00 8.00 279.13 7884.12 1647.59 for a 60.01s run time: 1440.34s available CPU time 7.99s user time ( 0.55%) 279.13s system time ( 19.38%) 287.12s total time ( 19.93%) load average: 7.12 2.99 1.15 successful run completed in 60.01s (1 min, 0.01 secs) 2) After applying this patchset: setting to a 60 second run per stressor dispatching hogs: 9 ramfs stressor bogo ops real time usr time sys time bogo ops/s bogo ops/s (secs) (secs) (secs) (real time) (usr+sys time) ramfs 477165 60.00 8.13 281.34 7952.55 1648.40 for a 60.01s run time: 1440.33s available CPU time 8.12s user time ( 0.56%) 281.34s system time ( 19.53%) 289.46s total time ( 20.10%) load average: 6.98 3.03 1.19 successful run completed in 60.01s (1 min, 0.01 secs) We can see that the ops/s has hardly changed. This patch (of 45): Currently, the shrinker instances can be divided into the following three types: a) global shrinker instance statically defined in the kernel, such as workingset_shadow_shrinker. b) global shrinker instance statically defined in the kernel modules, such as mmu_shrinker in x86. c) shrinker instance embedded in other structures. For case a, the memory of shrinker instance is never freed. For case b, the memory of shrinker instance will be freed after synchronize_rcu() when the module is unloaded. For case c, the memory of shrinker instance will be freed along with the structure it is embedded in. In preparation for implementing lockless slab shrink, we need to dynamically allocate those shrinker instances in case c, then the memory can be dynamically freed alone by calling kfree_rcu(). So this commit adds the following new APIs for dynamically allocating shrinker, and add a private_data field to struct shrinker to record and get the original embedded structure. 1. shrinker_alloc() Used to allocate shrinker instance itself and related memory, it will return a pointer to the shrinker instance on success and NULL on failure. 2. shrinker_register() Used to register the shrinker instance, which is same as the current register_shrinker_prepared(). 3. shrinker_free() Used to unregister (if needed) and free the shrinker instance. In order to simplify shrinker-related APIs and make shrinker more independent of other kernel mechanisms, subsequent submissions will use the above API to convert all shrinkers (including case a and b) to dynamically allocated, and then remove all existing APIs. This will also have another advantage mentioned by Dave Chinner: ``` The other advantage of this is that it will break all the existing out of tree code and third party modules using the old API and will no longer work with a kernel using lockless slab shrinkers. They need to break (both at the source and binary levels) to stop bad things from happening due to using unconverted shrinkers in the new setup. ``` [zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com: mm: shrinker: some cleanup] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230919024607.65463-1-zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230911094444.68966-1-zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230911094444.68966-2-zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com Signed-off-by: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com> Reviewed-by: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com> Cc: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> Cc: Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org> Cc: Darrick J.

2023-10-04drm/ttm: introduce pool_shrink_rwsemQi Zheng1-1/+0
Currently, synchronize_shrinkers() is only used by TTM pool. It only requires that no shrinkers run in parallel. After we use RCU+refcount method to implement the lockless slab shrink, we can not use shrinker_rwsem or synchronize_rcu() to guarantee that all shrinker invocations have seen an update before freeing memory. So we introduce a new pool_shrink_rwsem to implement a private ttm_pool_synchronize_shrinkers(), so as to achieve the same purpose.

2023-05-17mm: shrinkers: fix race condition on debugfs cleanupJoan Bruguera Micó1-2/+11
When something registers and unregisters many shrinkers, such as: for x in $(seq 10000); do unshare -Ui true; done Sometimes the following error is printed to the kernel log: debugfs: Directory '...' with parent 'shrinker' already present! This occurs since commit badc28d4924b ("mm: shrinkers: fix deadlock in shrinker debugfs") / v6.2: Since the call to `debugfs_remove_recursive` was moved outside the `shrinker_rwsem`/`shrinker_mutex` lock, but the call to `ida_free` stayed inside, a newly registered shrinker can be re-assigned that ID and attempt to create the debugfs directory before the directory from the previous shrinker has been removed. The locking changes in commit f95bdb700bc6 ("mm: vmscan: make global slab shrink lockless") made the race condition more likely, though it existed before then. Commit badc28d4924b ("mm: shrinkers: fix deadlock in shrinker debugfs") could be reverted since the issue is addressed should no longer occur since the count and scan operations are lockless since commit 20cd1892fcc3 ("mm: shrinkers: make count and scan in shrinker debugfs lockless"). However, since this is a contended lock, prefer instead moving `ida_free` outside the lock to avoid the race.

2023-02-09mm: shrinkers: fix deadlock in shrinker debugfsQi Zheng1-2/+3
The debugfs_remove_recursive() is invoked by unregister_shrinker(), which is holding the write lock of shrinker_rwsem. It will waits for the handler of debugfs file complete. The handler also needs to hold the read lock of shrinker_rwsem to do something. So it may cause the following deadlock: CPU0 CPU1 debugfs_file_get() shrinker_debugfs_count_show()/shrinker_debugfs_scan_write() unregister_shrinker() --> down_write(&shrinker_rwsem); debugfs_remove_recursive() // wait for (A) --> wait_for_completion(); // wait for (B) --> down_read_killable(&shrinker_rwsem) debugfs_file_put() -- (A) up_write() -- (B) The down_read_killable() can be killed, so that the above deadlock can be recovered. But it still requires an extra kill action, otherwise it will block all subsequent shrinker-related operations, so it's better to fix it.

2022-07-03mm: shrinkers: provide shrinkers with namesRoman Gushchin1-2/+12
Currently shrinkers are anonymous objects. For debugging purposes they can be identified by count/scan function names, but it's not always useful: e.g. for superblock's shrinkers it's nice to have at least an idea of to which superblock the shrinker belongs. This commit adds names to shrinkers. register_shrinker() and prealloc_shrinker() functions are extended to take a format and arguments to master a name. In some cases it's not possible to determine a good name at the time when a shrinker is allocated. For such cases shrinker_debugfs_rename() is provided. The expected format is: <subsystem>-<shrinker_type>[:<instance>]-<id> For some shrinkers an instance can be encoded as (MAJOR:MINOR) pair. After this change the shrinker debugfs directory looks like: $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker/ $ ls dquota-cache-16 sb-devpts-28 sb-proc-47 sb-tmpfs-42 mm-shadow-18 sb-devtmpfs-5 sb-proc-48 sb-tmpfs-43 mm-zspool:zram0-34 sb-hugetlbfs-17 sb-pstore-31 sb-tmpfs-44 rcu-kfree-0 sb-hugetlbfs-33 sb-rootfs-2 sb-tmpfs-49 sb-aio-20 sb-iomem-12 sb-securityfs-6 sb-tracefs-13 sb-anon_inodefs-15 sb-mqueue-21 sb-selinuxfs-22 sb-xfs:vda1-36 sb-bdev-3 sb-nsfs-4 sb-sockfs-8 sb-zsmalloc-19 sb-bpf-32 sb-pipefs-14 sb-sysfs-26 thp-deferred_split-10 sb-btrfs:vda2-24 sb-proc-25 sb-tmpfs-1 thp-zero-9 sb-cgroup2-30 sb-proc-39 sb-tmpfs-27 xfs-buf:vda1-37 sb-configfs-23 sb-proc-41 sb-tmpfs-29 xfs-inodegc:vda1-38 sb-dax-11 sb-proc-45 sb-tmpfs-35 sb-debugfs-7 sb-proc-46 sb-tmpfs-40 [roman.gushchin@linux.dev: fix build warnings] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/Yr+ZTnLb9lJk6fJO@castle Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220601032227.4076670-4-roman.gushchin@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin <roman.gushchin@linux.dev> Cc: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Cc: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Cc: Hillf Danton <hdanton@sina.com> Cc: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com> Cc: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
2022-07-03mm: shrinkers: introduce debugfs interface for memory shrinkersRoman Gushchin1-1/+18
This commit introduces the /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker debugfs interface which provides an ability to observe the state of individual kernel memory shrinkers. Because the feature adds some memory overhead (which shouldn't be large unless there is a huge amount of registered shrinkers), it's guarded by a config option (enabled by default). This commit introduces the "count" interface for each shrinker registered in the system. The output is in the following format: <cgroup inode id> <nr of objects on node 0> <nr of objects on node 1>... <cgroup inode id> <nr of objects on node 0> <nr of objects on node 1>... ... To reduce the size of output on machines with many thousands cgroups, if the total number of objects on all nodes is 0, the line is omitted. If the shrinker is not memcg-aware or CONFIG_MEMCG is off, 0 is printed as cgroup inode id. If the shrinker is not numa-aware, 0's are printed for all nodes except the first one. This commit gives debugfs entries simple numeric names, which are not very convenient. The following commit in the series will provide shrinkers with more meaningful names.

2021-08-27mm/vmscan: add sync_shrinkers function v3Christian König1-0/+1
While unplugging a device the TTM shrinker implementation needs a barrier to make sure that all concurrent shrink operations are done and no other CPU is referring to a device specific pool any more. Taking and releasing the shrinker semaphore on the write side after unmapping and freeing all pages from the device pool should make sure that no shrinker is running in paralell. This allows us to avoid the contented mutex in the TTM pool implementation for every alloc/free operation. v2: rework the commit message to make clear why we need this v3: rename the function and add more doc as suggested by Daniel Signed-off-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Acked-by: Huang Rui <ray.huang@amd.com> Acked-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210820120528.81114-2-christian.koenig@amd.com

2021-05-05mm: vmscan: use a new flag to indicate shrinker is registeredYang Shi1-3/+4
Currently registered shrinker is indicated by non-NULL shrinker->nr_deferred. This approach is fine with nr_deferred at the shrinker level, but the following patches will move MEMCG_AWARE shrinkers' nr_deferred to memcg level, so their shrinker->nr_deferred would always be NULL. This would prevent the shrinkers from unregistering correctly. Remove SHRINKER_REGISTERING since we could check if shrinker is registered successfully by the new flag.

2019-09-24mm: shrinker: make shrinker not depend on memcg kmemYang Shi1-1/+6
Currently shrinker is just allocated and can work when memcg kmem is enabled. But, THP deferred split shrinker is not slab shrinker, it doesn't make too much sense to have such shrinker depend on memcg kmem. It should be able to reclaim THP even though memcg kmem is disabled. Introduce a new shrinker flag, SHRINKER_NONSLAB, for non-slab shrinker. When memcg kmem is disabled, just such shrinkers can be called in shrinking memcg slab.
