[PATCH] cpuset memory spread basic implementation
This patch provides the implementation and cpuset interface for an alternative
memory allocation policy that can be applied to certain kinds of memory
allocations, such as the page cache (file system buffers) and some slab caches
(such as inode caches).
The policy is called "memory spreading." If enabled, it spreads out these
kinds of memory allocations over all the nodes allowed to a task, instead of
preferring to place them on the node where the task is executing.
All other kinds of allocations, including anonymous pages for a tasks stack
and data regions, are not affected by this policy choice, and continue to be
allocated preferring the node local to execution, as modified by the NUMA
mempolicy.
There are two boolean flag files per cpuset that control where the kernel
allocates pages for the file system buffers and related in kernel data
structures. They are called 'memory_spread_page' and 'memory_spread_slab'.
If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_page' is set, then the
kernel will spread the file system buffers (page cache) evenly over all the
nodes that the faulting task is allowed to use, instead of preferring to put
those pages on the node where the task is running.
If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_slab' is set, then the
kernel will spread some file system related slab caches, such as for inodes
and dentries evenly over all the nodes that the faulting task is allowed to
use, instead of preferring to put those pages on the node where the task is
running.
The implementation is simple. Setting the cpuset flags 'memory_spread_page'
or 'memory_spread_cache' turns on the per-process flags PF_SPREAD_PAGE or
PF_SPREAD_SLAB, respectively, for each task that is in the cpuset or
subsequently joins that cpuset. In subsequent patches, the page allocation
calls for the affected page cache and slab caches are modified to perform an
inline check for these flags, and if set, a call to a new routine
cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns the node to prefer for the allocation.
The cpuset_mem_spread_node() routine is also simple. It uses the value of a
per-task rotor cpuset_mem_spread_rotor to select the next node in the current
tasks mems_allowed to prefer for the allocation.
This policy can provide substantial improvements for jobs that need to place
thread local data on the corresponding node, but that need to access large
file system data sets that need to be spread across the several nodes in the
jobs cpuset in order to fit. Without this patch, especially for jobs that
might have one thread reading in the data set, the memory allocation across
the nodes in the jobs cpuset can become very uneven.
A couple of Copyright year ranges are updated as well. And a couple of email
addresses that can be found in the MAINTAINERS file are removed.

sched, cpuset: rework sched domains and CPU hotplug handling (v4)
This is an updated version of my previous cpuset patch on top of
the latest mainline git.
The patch fixes CPU hotplug handling issues in the current cpusets code.
Namely circular locking in rebuild_sched_domains() and unsafe access to
the cpu_online_map in the cpuset cpu hotplug handler.
This version includes changes suggested by Paul Jackson (naming, comments,
style, etc). I also got rid of the separate workqueue thread because it is
now safe to call get_online_cpus() from workqueue callbacks.
Here are some more details:
rebuild_sched_domains() is the only way to rebuild sched domains
correctly based on the current cpuset settings. What this means
is that we need to be able to call it from different contexts,
like cpu hotplug for example.
Also latest scheduler code in -tip now calls rebuild_sched_domains()
directly from functions like arch_reinit_sched_domains().
In order to support that properly we need to rework cpuset locking
rules to avoid circular dependencies, which is what this patch does.
New lock nesting rules are explained in the comments.
We can now safely call rebuild_sched_domains() from virtually any
context. The only requirement is that it needs to be called under
get_online_cpus(). This allows cpu hotplug handlers and the scheduler
to call rebuild_sched_domains() directly.
The rest of the cpuset code now offloads sched domains rebuilds to
a workqueue (async_rebuild_sched_domains()).
This version of the patch addresses comments from the previous review.
I fixed all miss-formated comments and trailing spaces.
I also factored out the code that builds domain masks and split up CPU and
memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe
access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make
things cleaner.
The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating &
removing domains and bringing cpus off/online at the same time) on the
quad-core2 based machine.
It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled.
This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working
as expected.

[PATCH] cpusets: automatic numa mempolicy rebinding
This patch automatically updates a tasks NUMA mempolicy when its cpuset
memory placement changes. It does so within the context of the task,
without any need to support low level external mempolicy manipulation.
If a system is not using cpusets, or if running on a system with just the
root (all-encompassing) cpuset, then this remap is a no-op. Only when a
task is moved between cpusets, or a cpusets memory placement is changed
does the following apply. Otherwise, the main routine below,
rebind_policy() is not even called.
When mixing cpusets, scheduler affinity, and NUMA mempolicies, the
essential role of cpusets is to place jobs (several related tasks) on a set
of CPUs and Memory Nodes, the essential role of sched_setaffinity is to
manage a jobs processor placement within its allowed cpuset, and the
essential role of NUMA mempolicy (mbind, set_mempolicy) is to manage a jobs
memory placement within its allowed cpuset.
However, CPU affinity and NUMA memory placement are managed within the
kernel using absolute system wide numbering, not cpuset relative numbering.
This is ok until a job is migrated to a different cpuset, or what's the
same, a jobs cpuset is moved to different CPUs and Memory Nodes.
Then the CPU affinity and NUMA memory placement of the tasks in the job
need to be updated, to preserve their cpuset-relative position. This can
be done for CPU affinity using sched_setaffinity() from user code, as one
task can modify anothers CPU affinity. This cannot be done from an
external task for NUMA memory placement, as that can only be modified in
the context of the task using it.
However, it easy enough to remap a tasks NUMA mempolicy automatically when
a task is migrated, using the existing cpuset mechanism to trigger a
refresh of a tasks memory placement after its cpuset has changed. All that
is needed is the old and new nodemask, and notice to the task that it needs
to rebind its mempolicy. The tasks mems_allowed has the old mask, the
tasks cpuset has the new mask, and the existing
cpuset_update_current_mems_allowed() mechanism provides the notice. The
bitmap/cpumask/nodemask remap operators provide the cpuset relative
calculations.
This patch leaves open a couple of issues:
1) Updating vma and shmfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs memory policies:
These mempolicies may reference nodes outside of those allowed to
the current task by its cpuset. Tasks are migrated as part of jobs,
which reside on what might be several cpusets in a subtree. When such
a job is migrated, all NUMA memory policy references to nodes within
that cpuset subtree should be translated, and references to any nodes
outside that subtree should be left untouched. A future patch will
provide the cpuset mechanism needed to mark such subtrees. With that
patch, we will be able to correctly migrate these other memory policies
across a job migration.
2) Updating cpuset, affinity and memory policies in user space:
This is harder. Any placement state stored in user space using
system-wide numbering will be invalidated across a migration. More
work will be required to provide user code with a migration-safe means
to manage its cpuset relative placement, while preserving the current
API's that pass system wide numbers, not cpuset relative numbers across
the kernel-user boundary.

[PATCH] cpuset: use rcu directly optimization
Optimize the cpuset impact on page allocation, the most performance critical
cpuset hook in the kernel.
On each page allocation, the cpuset hook needs to check for a possible change
in the current tasks cpuset. It can now handle the common case, of no change,
without taking any spinlock or semaphore, thanks to RCU.
Convert a spinlock on the current task to an rcu_read_lock(), saving
approximately a memory barrier and an atomic op, depending on architecture.
This is done by adding rcu_assign_pointer() and synchronize_rcu() calls to the
write side of the task->cpuset pointer, in cpuset.c:attach_task(), to delay
freeing up a detached cpuset until after any critical sections referencing
that pointer.
Thanks to Andi Kleen, Nick Piggin and Eric Dumazet for ideas.

[PATCH] cpuset: memory pressure meter
Provide a simple per-cpuset metric of memory pressure, tracking the -rate-
that the tasks in a cpuset call try_to_free_pages(), the synchronous
(direct) memory reclaim code.
This enables batch managers monitoring jobs running in dedicated cpusets to
efficiently detect what level of memory pressure that job is causing.
This is useful both on tightly managed systems running a wide mix of
submitted jobs, which may choose to terminate or reprioritize jobs that are
trying to use more memory than allowed on the nodes assigned them, and with
tightly coupled, long running, massively parallel scientific computing jobs
that will dramatically fail to meet required performance goals if they
start to use more memory than allowed to them.
This patch just provides a very economical way for the batch manager to
monitor a cpuset for signs of memory pressure. It's up to the batch
manager or other user code to decide what to do about it and take action.
==> Unless this feature is enabled by writing "1" to the special file
/dev/cpuset/memory_pressure_enabled, the hook in the rebalance
code of __alloc_pages() for this metric reduces to simply noticing
that the cpuset_memory_pressure_enabled flag is zero. So only
systems that enable this feature will compute the metric.
Why a per-cpuset, running average:
Because this meter is per-cpuset, rather than per-task or mm, the
system load imposed by a batch scheduler monitoring this metric is
sharply reduced on large systems, because a scan of the tasklist can be
avoided on each set of queries.
Because this meter is a running average, instead of an accumulating
counter, a batch scheduler can detect memory pressure with a single
read, instead of having to read and accumulate results for a period of
time.
Because this meter is per-cpuset rather than per-task or mm, the
batch scheduler can obtain the key information, memory pressure in a
cpuset, with a single read, rather than having to query and accumulate
results over all the (dynamically changing) set of tasks in the cpuset.
A per-cpuset simple digital filter (requires a spinlock and 3 words of data
per-cpuset) is kept, and updated by any task attached to that cpuset, if it
enters the synchronous (direct) page reclaim code.
A per-cpuset file provides an integer number representing the recent
(half-life of 10 seconds) rate of direct page reclaims caused by the tasks
in the cpuset, in units of reclaims attempted per second, times 1000.

[PATCH] cpusets: swap migration interface
Add a boolean "memory_migrate" to each cpuset, represented by a file
containing "0" or "1" in each directory below /dev/cpuset.
It defaults to false (file contains "0"). It can be set true by writing
"1" to the file.
If true, then anytime that a task is attached to the cpuset so marked, the
pages of that task will be moved to that cpuset, preserving, to the extent
practical, the cpuset-relative placement of the pages.
Also anytime that a cpuset so marked has its memory placement changed (by
writing to its "mems" file), the tasks in that cpuset will have their pages
moved to the cpusets new nodes, preserving, to the extent practical, the
cpuset-relative placement of the moved pages.

[PATCH] cpuset memory spread basic implementation
This patch provides the implementation and cpuset interface for an alternative
memory allocation policy that can be applied to certain kinds of memory
allocations, such as the page cache (file system buffers) and some slab caches
(such as inode caches).
The policy is called "memory spreading." If enabled, it spreads out these
kinds of memory allocations over all the nodes allowed to a task, instead of
preferring to place them on the node where the task is executing.
All other kinds of allocations, including anonymous pages for a tasks stack
and data regions, are not affected by this policy choice, and continue to be
allocated preferring the node local to execution, as modified by the NUMA
mempolicy.
There are two boolean flag files per cpuset that control where the kernel
allocates pages for the file system buffers and related in kernel data
structures. They are called 'memory_spread_page' and 'memory_spread_slab'.
If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_page' is set, then the
kernel will spread the file system buffers (page cache) evenly over all the
nodes that the faulting task is allowed to use, instead of preferring to put
those pages on the node where the task is running.
If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_slab' is set, then the
kernel will spread some file system related slab caches, such as for inodes
and dentries evenly over all the nodes that the faulting task is allowed to
use, instead of preferring to put those pages on the node where the task is
running.
The implementation is simple. Setting the cpuset flags 'memory_spread_page'
or 'memory_spread_cache' turns on the per-process flags PF_SPREAD_PAGE or
PF_SPREAD_SLAB, respectively, for each task that is in the cpuset or
subsequently joins that cpuset. In subsequent patches, the page allocation
calls for the affected page cache and slab caches are modified to perform an
inline check for these flags, and if set, a call to a new routine
cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns the node to prefer for the allocation.
The cpuset_mem_spread_node() routine is also simple. It uses the value of a
per-task rotor cpuset_mem_spread_rotor to select the next node in the current
tasks mems_allowed to prefer for the allocation.
This policy can provide substantial improvements for jobs that need to place
thread local data on the corresponding node, but that need to access large
file system data sets that need to be spread across the several nodes in the
jobs cpuset in order to fit. Without this patch, especially for jobs that
might have one thread reading in the data set, the memory allocation across
the nodes in the jobs cpuset can become very uneven.
A couple of Copyright year ranges are updated as well. And a couple of email
addresses that can be found in the MAINTAINERS file are removed.

[PATCH] cpusets: dual semaphore locking overhaul
Overhaul cpuset locking. Replace single semaphore with two semaphores.
The suggestion to use two locks was made by Roman Zippel.
Both locks are global. Code that wants to modify cpusets must first
acquire the exclusive manage_sem, which allows them read-only access to
cpusets, and holds off other would-be modifiers. Before making actual
changes, the second semaphore, callback_sem must be acquired as well. Code
that needs only to query cpusets must acquire callback_sem, which is also a
global exclusive lock.
The earlier problems with double tripping are avoided, because it is
allowed for holders of manage_sem to nest the second callback_sem lock, and
only callback_sem is needed by code called from within __alloc_pages(),
where the double tripping had been possible.
This is not quite the same as a normal read/write semaphore, because
obtaining read-only access with intent to change must hold off other such
attempts, while allowing read-only access w/o such intention. Changing
cpusets involves several related checks and changes, which must be done
while allowing read-only queries (to avoid the double trip), but while
ensuring nothing changes (holding off other would be modifiers.)
This overhaul of cpuset locking also makes careful use of task_lock() to
guard access to the task->cpuset pointer, closing a couple of race
conditions noticed while reading this code (thanks, Roman). I've never
seen these races fail in any use or test.
See further the comments in the code.

[PATCH] cpusets: dual semaphore locking overhaul
Overhaul cpuset locking. Replace single semaphore with two semaphores.
The suggestion to use two locks was made by Roman Zippel.
Both locks are global. Code that wants to modify cpusets must first
acquire the exclusive manage_sem, which allows them read-only access to
cpusets, and holds off other would-be modifiers. Before making actual
changes, the second semaphore, callback_sem must be acquired as well. Code
that needs only to query cpusets must acquire callback_sem, which is also a
global exclusive lock.
The earlier problems with double tripping are avoided, because it is
allowed for holders of manage_sem to nest the second callback_sem lock, and
only callback_sem is needed by code called from within __alloc_pages(),
where the double tripping had been possible.
This is not quite the same as a normal read/write semaphore, because
obtaining read-only access with intent to change must hold off other such
attempts, while allowing read-only access w/o such intention. Changing
cpusets involves several related checks and changes, which must be done
while allowing read-only queries (to avoid the double trip), but while
ensuring nothing changes (holding off other would be modifiers.)
This overhaul of cpuset locking also makes careful use of task_lock() to
guard access to the task->cpuset pointer, closing a couple of race
conditions noticed while reading this code (thanks, Roman). I've never
seen these races fail in any use or test.
See further the comments in the code.

[PATCH] cpuset semaphore depth check deadlock fix
The cpusets-formalize-intermediate-gfp_kernel-containment patch
has a deadlock problem.
This patch was part of a set of four patches to make more
extensive use of the cpuset 'mem_exclusive' attribute to
manage kernel GFP_KERNEL memory allocations and to constrain
the out-of-memory (oom) killer.
A task that is changing cpusets in particular ways on a system
when it is very short of free memory could double trip over
the global cpuset_sem semaphore (get the lock and then deadlock
trying to get it again).
The second attempt to get cpuset_sem would be in the routine
cpuset_zone_allowed(). This was discovered by code inspection.
I can not reproduce the problem except with an artifically
hacked kernel and a specialized stress test.
In real life you cannot hit this unless you are manipulating
cpusets, and are very unlikely to hit it unless you are rapidly
modifying cpusets on a memory tight system. Even then it would
be a rare occurence.
If you did hit it, the task double tripping over cpuset_sem
would deadlock in the kernel, and any other task also trying
to manipulate cpusets would deadlock there too, on cpuset_sem.
Your batch manager would be wedged solid (if it was cpuset
savvy), but classic Unix shells and utilities would work well
enough to reboot the system.
The unusual condition that led to this bug is that unlike most
semaphores, cpuset_sem _can_ be acquired while in the page
allocation code, when __alloc_pages() calls cpuset_zone_allowed.
So it easy to mistakenly perform the following sequence:
1) task makes system call to alter a cpuset
2) take cpuset_sem
3) try to allocate memory
4) memory allocator, via cpuset_zone_allowed, trys to take cpuset_sem
5) deadlock
The reason that this is not a serious bug for most users
is that almost all calls to allocate memory don't require
taking cpuset_sem. Only some code paths off the beaten
track require taking cpuset_sem -- which is good. Taking
a global semaphore on the main code path for allocating
memory would not scale well.
This patch fixes this deadlock by wrapping the up() and down()
calls on cpuset_sem in kernel/cpuset.c with code that tracks
the nesting depth of the current task on that semaphore, and
only does the real down() if the task doesn't hold the lock
already, and only does the real up() if the nesting depth
(number of unmatched downs) is exactly one.
The previous required use of refresh_mems(), anytime that
the cpuset_sem semaphore was acquired and the code executed
while holding that semaphore might try to allocate memory, is
no longer required. Two refresh_mems() calls were removed
thanks to this. This is a good change, as failing to get
all the necessary refresh_mems() calls placed was a primary
source of bugs in this cpuset code. The only remaining call
to refresh_mems() is made while doing a memory allocation,
if certain task memory placement data needs to be updated
from its cpuset, due to the cpuset having been changed behind
the tasks back.

sched, cpuset: rework sched domains and CPU hotplug handling (v4)
This is an updated version of my previous cpuset patch on top of
the latest mainline git.
The patch fixes CPU hotplug handling issues in the current cpusets code.
Namely circular locking in rebuild_sched_domains() and unsafe access to
the cpu_online_map in the cpuset cpu hotplug handler.
This version includes changes suggested by Paul Jackson (naming, comments,
style, etc). I also got rid of the separate workqueue thread because it is
now safe to call get_online_cpus() from workqueue callbacks.
Here are some more details:
rebuild_sched_domains() is the only way to rebuild sched domains
correctly based on the current cpuset settings. What this means
is that we need to be able to call it from different contexts,
like cpu hotplug for example.
Also latest scheduler code in -tip now calls rebuild_sched_domains()
directly from functions like arch_reinit_sched_domains().
In order to support that properly we need to rework cpuset locking
rules to avoid circular dependencies, which is what this patch does.
New lock nesting rules are explained in the comments.
We can now safely call rebuild_sched_domains() from virtually any
context. The only requirement is that it needs to be called under
get_online_cpus(). This allows cpu hotplug handlers and the scheduler
to call rebuild_sched_domains() directly.
The rest of the cpuset code now offloads sched domains rebuilds to
a workqueue (async_rebuild_sched_domains()).
This version of the patch addresses comments from the previous review.
I fixed all miss-formated comments and trailing spaces.
I also factored out the code that builds domain masks and split up CPU and
memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe
access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make
things cleaner.
The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating &
removing domains and bringing cpus off/online at the same time) on the
quad-core2 based machine.
It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled.
This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working
as expected.

[PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.
This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.
The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.
(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.
However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.
[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

[PATCH] cpusets: dual semaphore locking overhaul
Overhaul cpuset locking. Replace single semaphore with two semaphores.
The suggestion to use two locks was made by Roman Zippel.
Both locks are global. Code that wants to modify cpusets must first
acquire the exclusive manage_sem, which allows them read-only access to
cpusets, and holds off other would-be modifiers. Before making actual
changes, the second semaphore, callback_sem must be acquired as well. Code
that needs only to query cpusets must acquire callback_sem, which is also a
global exclusive lock.
The earlier problems with double tripping are avoided, because it is
allowed for holders of manage_sem to nest the second callback_sem lock, and
only callback_sem is needed by code called from within __alloc_pages(),
where the double tripping had been possible.
This is not quite the same as a normal read/write semaphore, because
obtaining read-only access with intent to change must hold off other such
attempts, while allowing read-only access w/o such intention. Changing
cpusets involves several related checks and changes, which must be done
while allowing read-only queries (to avoid the double trip), but while
ensuring nothing changes (holding off other would be modifiers.)
This overhaul of cpuset locking also makes careful use of task_lock() to
guard access to the task->cpuset pointer, closing a couple of race
conditions noticed while reading this code (thanks, Roman). I've never
seen these races fail in any use or test.
See further the comments in the code.

[PATCH] cpuset: use rcu directly optimization
Optimize the cpuset impact on page allocation, the most performance critical
cpuset hook in the kernel.
On each page allocation, the cpuset hook needs to check for a possible change
in the current tasks cpuset. It can now handle the common case, of no change,
without taking any spinlock or semaphore, thanks to RCU.
Convert a spinlock on the current task to an rcu_read_lock(), saving
approximately a memory barrier and an atomic op, depending on architecture.
This is done by adding rcu_assign_pointer() and synchronize_rcu() calls to the
write side of the task->cpuset pointer, in cpuset.c:attach_task(), to delay
freeing up a detached cpuset until after any critical sections referencing
that pointer.
Thanks to Andi Kleen, Nick Piggin and Eric Dumazet for ideas.

[PATCH] cpusets: dual semaphore locking overhaul
Overhaul cpuset locking. Replace single semaphore with two semaphores.
The suggestion to use two locks was made by Roman Zippel.
Both locks are global. Code that wants to modify cpusets must first
acquire the exclusive manage_sem, which allows them read-only access to
cpusets, and holds off other would-be modifiers. Before making actual
changes, the second semaphore, callback_sem must be acquired as well. Code
that needs only to query cpusets must acquire callback_sem, which is also a
global exclusive lock.
The earlier problems with double tripping are avoided, because it is
allowed for holders of manage_sem to nest the second callback_sem lock, and
only callback_sem is needed by code called from within __alloc_pages(),
where the double tripping had been possible.
This is not quite the same as a normal read/write semaphore, because
obtaining read-only access with intent to change must hold off other such
attempts, while allowing read-only access w/o such intention. Changing
cpusets involves several related checks and changes, which must be done
while allowing read-only queries (to avoid the double trip), but while
ensuring nothing changes (holding off other would be modifiers.)
This overhaul of cpuset locking also makes careful use of task_lock() to
guard access to the task->cpuset pointer, closing a couple of race
conditions noticed while reading this code (thanks, Roman). I've never
seen these races fail in any use or test.

[PATCH] cpuset memory spread basic implementation
This patch provides the implementation and cpuset interface for an alternative
memory allocation policy that can be applied to certain kinds of memory
allocations, such as the page cache (file system buffers) and some slab caches
(such as inode caches).
The policy is called "memory spreading." If enabled, it spreads out these
kinds of memory allocations over all the nodes allowed to a task, instead of
preferring to place them on the node where the task is executing.
All other kinds of allocations, including anonymous pages for a tasks stack
and data regions, are not affected by this policy choice, and continue to be
allocated preferring the node local to execution, as modified by the NUMA
mempolicy.
There are two boolean flag files per cpuset that control where the kernel
allocates pages for the file system buffers and related in kernel data
structures. They are called 'memory_spread_page' and 'memory_spread_slab'.
If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_page' is set, then the
kernel will spread the file system buffers (page cache) evenly over all the
nodes that the faulting task is allowed to use, instead of preferring to put
those pages on the node where the task is running.
If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_slab' is set, then the
kernel will spread some file system related slab caches, such as for inodes
and dentries evenly over all the nodes that the faulting task is allowed to
use, instead of preferring to put those pages on the node where the task is
running.
The implementation is simple. Setting the cpuset flags 'memory_spread_page'
or 'memory_spread_cache' turns on the per-process flags PF_SPREAD_PAGE or
PF_SPREAD_SLAB, respectively, for each task that is in the cpuset or
subsequently joins that cpuset. In subsequent patches, the page allocation
calls for the affected page cache and slab caches are modified to perform an
inline check for these flags, and if set, a call to a new routine
cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns the node to prefer for the allocation.
The cpuset_mem_spread_node() routine is also simple. It uses the value of a
per-task rotor cpuset_mem_spread_rotor to select the next node in the current
tasks mems_allowed to prefer for the allocation.
This policy can provide substantial improvements for jobs that need to place
thread local data on the corresponding node, but that need to access large
file system data sets that need to be spread across the several nodes in the
jobs cpuset in order to fit. Without this patch, especially for jobs that
might have one thread reading in the data set, the memory allocation across
the nodes in the jobs cpuset can become very uneven.
A couple of Copyright year ranges are updated as well. And a couple of email
addresses that can be found in the MAINTAINERS file are removed.

[PATCH] cpuset: numa_policy_rebind cleanup
Cleanup, reorganize and make more robust the mempolicy.c code to rebind
mempolicies relative to the containing cpuset after a tasks memory placement
changes.
The real motivator for this cleanup patch is to lay more groundwork for the
upcoming patch to correctly rebind NUMA mempolicies that are attached to vma's
after the containing cpuset memory placement changes.
NUMA mempolicies are constrained by the cpuset their task is a member of.
When either (1) a task is moved to a different cpuset, or (2) the 'mems'
mems_allowed of a cpuset is changed, then the NUMA mempolicies have embedded
node numbers (for MPOL_BIND, MPOL_INTERLEAVE and MPOL_PREFERRED) that need to
be recalculated, relative to their new cpuset placement.
The old code used an unreliable method of determining what was the old
mems_allowed constraining the mempolicy. It just looked at the tasks
mems_allowed value. This sort of worked with the present code, that just
rebinds the -task- mempolicy, and leaves any -vma- mempolicies broken,
referring to the old nodes. But in an upcoming patch, the vma mempolicies
will be rebound as well. Then the order in which the various task and vma
mempolicies are updated will no longer be deterministic, and one can no longer
count on the task->mems_allowed holding the old value for as long as needed.
It's not even clear if the current code was guaranteed to work reliably for
task mempolicies.
So I added a mems_allowed field to each mempolicy, stating exactly what
mems_allowed the policy is relative to, and updated synchronously and reliably
anytime that the mempolicy is rebound.
Also removed a useless wrapper routine, numa_policy_rebind(), and had its
caller, cpuset_update_task_memory_state(), call directly to the rewritten
policy_rebind() routine, and made that rebind routine extern instead of
static, and added a "mpol_" prefix to its name, making it
mpol_rebind_policy().

sched, cpuset: rework sched domains and CPU hotplug handling (v4)
This is an updated version of my previous cpuset patch on top of
the latest mainline git.
The patch fixes CPU hotplug handling issues in the current cpusets code.
Namely circular locking in rebuild_sched_domains() and unsafe access to
the cpu_online_map in the cpuset cpu hotplug handler.

style, etc). I also got rid of the separate workqueue thread because it is
now safe to call get_online_cpus() from workqueue callbacks.
Here are some more details:
rebuild_sched_domains() is the only way to rebuild sched domains
correctly based on the current cpuset settings. What this means
is that we need to be able to call it from different contexts,
like cpu hotplug for example.
Also latest scheduler code in -tip now calls rebuild_sched_domains()
directly from functions like arch_reinit_sched_domains().
In order to support that properly we need to rework cpuset locking
rules to avoid circular dependencies, which is what this patch does.
New lock nesting rules are explained in the comments.
We can now safely call rebuild_sched_domains() from virtually any
context. The only requirement is that it needs to be called under
get_online_cpus(). This allows cpu hotplug handlers and the scheduler
to call rebuild_sched_domains() directly.
The rest of the cpuset code now offloads sched domains rebuilds to
a workqueue (async_rebuild_sched_domains()).
This version of the patch addresses comments from the previous review.
I fixed all miss-formated comments and trailing spaces.
I also factored out the code that builds domain masks and split up CPU and
memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe
access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make
things cleaner.
The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating &
removing domains and bringing cpus off/online at the same time) on the
quad-core2 based machine.
It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled.
This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working
as expected.

sched, cpuset: rework sched domains and CPU hotplug handling (v4)
This is an updated version of my previous cpuset patch on top of
the latest mainline git.
The patch fixes CPU hotplug handling issues in the current cpusets code.
Namely circular locking in rebuild_sched_domains() and unsafe access to
the cpu_online_map in the cpuset cpu hotplug handler.
This version includes changes suggested by Paul Jackson (naming, comments,
style, etc). I also got rid of the separate workqueue thread because it is
now safe to call get_online_cpus() from workqueue callbacks.
Here are some more details:
rebuild_sched_domains() is the only way to rebuild sched domains
correctly based on the current cpuset settings. What this means
is that we need to be able to call it from different contexts,
like cpu hotplug for example.
Also latest scheduler code in -tip now calls rebuild_sched_domains()
directly from functions like arch_reinit_sched_domains().
In order to support that properly we need to rework cpuset locking
rules to avoid circular dependencies, which is what this patch does.
New lock nesting rules are explained in the comments.
We can now safely call rebuild_sched_domains() from virtually any
context. The only requirement is that it needs to be called under
get_online_cpus(). This allows cpu hotplug handlers and the scheduler
to call rebuild_sched_domains() directly.
The rest of the cpuset code now offloads sched domains rebuilds to
a workqueue (async_rebuild_sched_domains()).
This version of the patch addresses comments from the previous review.
I fixed all miss-formated comments and trailing spaces.
I also factored out the code that builds domain masks and split up CPU and
memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe
access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make
things cleaner.
The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating &
removing domains and bringing cpus off/online at the same time) on the
quad-core2 based machine.
It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled.
This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working
as expected.

[PATCH] cpusets: dual semaphore locking overhaul
Overhaul cpuset locking. Replace single semaphore with two semaphores.
The suggestion to use two locks was made by Roman Zippel.
Both locks are global. Code that wants to modify cpusets must first
acquire the exclusive manage_sem, which allows them read-only access to
cpusets, and holds off other would-be modifiers. Before making actual
changes, the second semaphore, callback_sem must be acquired as well. Code
that needs only to query cpusets must acquire callback_sem, which is also a
global exclusive lock.
The earlier problems with double tripping are avoided, because it is
allowed for holders of manage_sem to nest the second callback_sem lock, and
only callback_sem is needed by code called from within __alloc_pages(),
where the double tripping had been possible.
This is not quite the same as a normal read/write semaphore, because
obtaining read-only access with intent to change must hold off other such
attempts, while allowing read-only access w/o such intention. Changing
cpusets involves several related checks and changes, which must be done
while allowing read-only queries (to avoid the double trip), but while
ensuring nothing changes (holding off other would be modifiers.)
This overhaul of cpuset locking also makes careful use of task_lock() to
guard access to the task->cpuset pointer, closing a couple of race
conditions noticed while reading this code (thanks, Roman). I've never
seen these races fail in any use or test.
See further the comments in the code.

[PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to cpu_online_map
Change the list of cpus allowed to tasks in the top (root) cpuset to
dynamically track what cpus are online, using a CPU hotplug notifier. Make
this top cpus file read-only.
On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.
If that system does support CPU hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use
of CPUs that are added after system boot, because the CPUs are not allowed
in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels
that didn't have cpusets enabled.
In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'cpus' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of cpu_online_map. Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged CPUs allowed
by their cpuset.
Thanks to Anton Blanchard and Nathan Lynch for reporting this problem,
driving the fix, and earlier versions of this patch.

hotplug cpu: move tasks in empty cpusets to parent various other fixes
Various minor formatting and comment tweaks to Cliff Wickman's
[PATCH_3_of_3]_cpusets__update_cpumask_revision.patch
I had had "iff", meaning "if and only if" in a comment. However, except for
ancient mathematicians, the abbreviation "iff" was a tad too cryptic. Cliff
changed it to "if", presumably figuring that the "iff" was a typo. However,
it was the "only if" half of the conjunction that was most interesting.
Reword to emphasis the "only if" aspect.
The locking comment for remove_tasks_in_empty_cpuset() was wrong; it said
callback_mutex had to be held on entry. The opposite is true.
Several mentions of attach_task() in comments needed to be
changed to cgroup_attach_task().
A comment about notify_on_release was no longer relevant,
as the line of code it had commented, namely:
set_bit(CS_RELEASED_RESOURCE, &parent->flags);
is no longer present in that place in the cpuset.c code.
Similarly a comment about notify_on_release before the
scan_for_empty_cpusets() routine was no longer relevant.
Removed extra parentheses and unnecessary return statement.
Renamed attach_task() to cpuset_attach() in various comments.
Removed comment about not needing memory migration, as it seems the migration
is done anyway, via the cpuset_attach() callback from cgroup_attach_task().

sched, cpuset: rework sched domains and CPU hotplug handling (v4)
This is an updated version of my previous cpuset patch on top of
the latest mainline git.
The patch fixes CPU hotplug handling issues in the current cpusets code.
Namely circular locking in rebuild_sched_domains() and unsafe access to
the cpu_online_map in the cpuset cpu hotplug handler.
This version includes changes suggested by Paul Jackson (naming, comments,
style, etc). I also got rid of the separate workqueue thread because it is
now safe to call get_online_cpus() from workqueue callbacks.
Here are some more details:
rebuild_sched_domains() is the only way to rebuild sched domains
correctly based on the current cpuset settings. What this means
is that we need to be able to call it from different contexts,
like cpu hotplug for example.
Also latest scheduler code in -tip now calls rebuild_sched_domains()
directly from functions like arch_reinit_sched_domains().
In order to support that properly we need to rework cpuset locking
rules to avoid circular dependencies, which is what this patch does.
New lock nesting rules are explained in the comments.
We can now safely call rebuild_sched_domains() from virtually any
context. The only requirement is that it needs to be called under
get_online_cpus(). This allows cpu hotplug handlers and the scheduler
to call rebuild_sched_domains() directly.
The rest of the cpuset code now offloads sched domains rebuilds to
a workqueue (async_rebuild_sched_domains()).
This version of the patch addresses comments from the previous review.
I fixed all miss-formated comments and trailing spaces.
I also factored out the code that builds domain masks and split up CPU and
memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe
access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make
things cleaner.
The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating &
removing domains and bringing cpus off/online at the same time) on the
quad-core2 based machine.
It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled.
This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working
as expected.

[PATCH] cpuset: rebind vma mempolicies fix
Fix more of longstanding bug in cpuset/mempolicy interaction.
NUMA mempolicies (mm/mempolicy.c) are constrained by the current tasks cpuset
to just the Memory Nodes allowed by that cpuset. The kernel maintains
internal state for each mempolicy, tracking what nodes are used for the
MPOL_INTERLEAVE, MPOL_BIND or MPOL_PREFERRED policies.
When a tasks cpuset memory placement changes, whether because the cpuset
changed, or because the task was attached to a different cpuset, then the
tasks mempolicies have to be rebound to the new cpuset placement, so as to
preserve the cpuset-relative numbering of the nodes in that policy.
An earlier fix handled such mempolicy rebinding for mempolicies attached to a
task.
This fix rebinds mempolicies attached to vma's (address ranges in a tasks
address space.) Due to the need to hold the task->mm->mmap_sem semaphore while
updating vma's, the rebinding of vma mempolicies has to be done when the
cpuset memory placement is changed, at which time mmap_sem can be safely
acquired. The tasks mempolicy is rebound later, when the task next attempts
to allocate memory and notices that its task->cpuset_mems_generation is
out-of-date with its cpusets mems_generation.
Because walking the tasklist to find all tasks attached to a changing cpuset
requires holding tasklist_lock, a spinlock, one cannot update the vma's of the
affected tasks while doing the tasklist scan. In general, one cannot acquire
a semaphore (which can sleep) while already holding a spinlock (such as
tasklist_lock). So a list of mm references has to be built up during the
tasklist scan, then the tasklist lock dropped, then for each mm, its mmap_sem
acquired, and the vma's in that mm rebound.
Once the tasklist lock is dropped, affected tasks may fork new tasks, before
their mm's are rebound. A kernel global 'cpuset_being_rebound' is set to
point to the cpuset being rebound (there can only be one; cpuset modifications
are done under a global 'manage_sem' semaphore), and the mpol_copy code that
is used to copy a tasks mempolicies during fork catches such forking tasks,
and ensures their children are also rebound.
When a task is moved to a different cpuset, it is easier, as there is only one
task involved. It's mm->vma's are scanned, using the same
mpol_rebind_policy() as used above.
It may happen that both the mpol_copy hook and the update done via the
tasklist scan update the same mm twice. This is ok, as the mempolicies of
each vma in an mm keep track of what mems_allowed they are relative to, and
safely no-op a second request to rebind to the same nodes.

[PATCH] cpuset: rebind vma mempolicies fix
Fix more of longstanding bug in cpuset/mempolicy interaction.
NUMA mempolicies (mm/mempolicy.c) are constrained by the current tasks cpuset
to just the Memory Nodes allowed by that cpuset. The kernel maintains
internal state for each mempolicy, tracking what nodes are used for the
MPOL_INTERLEAVE, MPOL_BIND or MPOL_PREFERRED policies.
When a tasks cpuset memory placement changes, whether because the cpuset
changed, or because the task was attached to a different cpuset, then the
tasks mempolicies have to be rebound to the new cpuset placement, so as to
preserve the cpuset-relative numbering of the nodes in that policy.
An earlier fix handled such mempolicy rebinding for mempolicies attached to a
task.
This fix rebinds mempolicies attached to vma's (address ranges in a tasks
address space.) Due to the need to hold the task->mm->mmap_sem semaphore while
updating vma's, the rebinding of vma mempolicies has to be done when the
cpuset memory placement is changed, at which time mmap_sem can be safely
acquired. The tasks mempolicy is rebound later, when the task next attempts
to allocate memory and notices that its task->cpuset_mems_generation is
out-of-date with its cpusets mems_generation.
Because walking the tasklist to find all tasks attached to a changing cpuset
requires holding tasklist_lock, a spinlock, one cannot update the vma's of the
affected tasks while doing the tasklist scan. In general, one cannot acquire
a semaphore (which can sleep) while already holding a spinlock (such as
tasklist_lock). So a list of mm references has to be built up during the
tasklist scan, then the tasklist lock dropped, then for each mm, its mmap_sem
acquired, and the vma's in that mm rebound.
Once the tasklist lock is dropped, affected tasks may fork new tasks, before
their mm's are rebound. A kernel global 'cpuset_being_rebound' is set to
point to the cpuset being rebound (there can only be one; cpuset modifications
are done under a global 'manage_sem' semaphore), and the mpol_copy code that
is used to copy a tasks mempolicies during fork catches such forking tasks,
and ensures their children are also rebound.
When a task is moved to a different cpuset, it is easier, as there is only one
task involved. It's mm->vma's are scanned, using the same
mpol_rebind_policy() as used above.
It may happen that both the mpol_copy hook and the update done via the
tasklist scan update the same mm twice. This is ok, as the mempolicies of
each vma in an mm keep track of what mems_allowed they are relative to, and
safely no-op a second request to rebind to the same nodes.

updating vma's, the rebinding of vma mempolicies has to be done when the
cpuset memory placement is changed, at which time mmap_sem can be safely
acquired. The tasks mempolicy is rebound later, when the task next attempts
to allocate memory and notices that its task->cpuset_mems_generation is
out-of-date with its cpusets mems_generation.
Because walking the tasklist to find all tasks attached to a changing cpuset
requires holding tasklist_lock, a spinlock, one cannot update the vma's of the
affected tasks while doing the tasklist scan. In general, one cannot acquire
a semaphore (which can sleep) while already holding a spinlock (such as
tasklist_lock). So a list of mm references has to be built up during the
tasklist scan, then the tasklist lock dropped, then for each mm, its mmap_sem
acquired, and the vma's in that mm rebound.
Once the tasklist lock is dropped, affected tasks may fork new tasks, before
their mm's are rebound. A kernel global 'cpuset_being_rebound' is set to
point to the cpuset being rebound (there can only be one; cpuset modifications
are done under a global 'manage_sem' semaphore), and the mpol_copy code that
is used to copy a tasks mempolicies during fork catches such forking tasks,
and ensures their children are also rebound.
When a task is moved to a different cpuset, it is easier, as there is only one
task involved. It's mm->vma's are scanned, using the same
mpol_rebind_policy() as used above.
It may happen that both the mpol_copy hook and the update done via the
tasklist scan update the same mm twice. This is ok, as the mempolicies of
each vma in an mm keep track of what mems_allowed they are relative to, and
safely no-op a second request to rebind to the same nodes.

[PATCH] cpuset: rebind vma mempolicies fix
Fix more of longstanding bug in cpuset/mempolicy interaction.
NUMA mempolicies (mm/mempolicy.c) are constrained by the current tasks cpuset

sched, cpuset: rework sched domains and CPU hotplug handling (v4)
This is an updated version of my previous cpuset patch on top of
the latest mainline git.
The patch fixes CPU hotplug handling issues in the current cpusets code.
Namely circular locking in rebuild_sched_domains() and unsafe access to
the cpu_online_map in the cpuset cpu hotplug handler.
This version includes changes suggested by Paul Jackson (naming, comments,
style, etc). I also got rid of the separate workqueue thread because it is
now safe to call get_online_cpus() from workqueue callbacks.
Here are some more details:
rebuild_sched_domains() is the only way to rebuild sched domains
correctly based on the current cpuset settings. What this means
is that we need to be able to call it from different contexts,
like cpu hotplug for example.
Also latest scheduler code in -tip now calls rebuild_sched_domains()
directly from functions like arch_reinit_sched_domains().
In order to support that properly we need to rework cpuset locking
rules to avoid circular dependencies, which is what this patch does.
New lock nesting rules are explained in the comments.
We can now safely call rebuild_sched_domains() from virtually any
context. The only requirement is that it needs to be called under
get_online_cpus(). This allows cpu hotplug handlers and the scheduler
to call rebuild_sched_domains() directly.
The rest of the cpuset code now offloads sched domains rebuilds to
a workqueue (async_rebuild_sched_domains()).
This version of the patch addresses comments from the previous review.
I fixed all miss-formated comments and trailing spaces.
I also factored out the code that builds domain masks and split up CPU and
memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe
access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make
things cleaner.
The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating &
removing domains and bringing cpus off/online at the same time) on the
quad-core2 based machine.
It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled.
This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working
as expected.

The suggestion to use two locks was made by Roman Zippel.
Both locks are global. Code that wants to modify cpusets must first
acquire the exclusive manage_sem, which allows them read-only access to
cpusets, and holds off other would-be modifiers. Before making actual
changes, the second semaphore, callback_sem must be acquired as well. Code
that needs only to query cpusets must acquire callback_sem, which is also a
global exclusive lock.
The earlier problems with double tripping are avoided, because it is
allowed for holders of manage_sem to nest the second callback_sem lock, and
only callback_sem is needed by code called from within __alloc_pages(),
where the double tripping had been possible.
This is not quite the same as a normal read/write semaphore, because
obtaining read-only access with intent to change must hold off other such
attempts, while allowing read-only access w/o such intention. Changing
cpusets involves several related checks and changes, which must be done
while allowing read-only queries (to avoid the double trip), but while
ensuring nothing changes (holding off other would be modifiers.)
This overhaul of cpuset locking also makes careful use of task_lock() to
guard access to the task->cpuset pointer, closing a couple of race
conditions noticed while reading this code (thanks, Roman). I've never
seen these races fail in any use or test.
See further the comments in the code.

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.

sched, cpuset: rework sched domains and CPU hotplug handling (v4)
This is an updated version of my previous cpuset patch on top of
the latest mainline git.
The patch fixes CPU hotplug handling issues in the current cpusets code.
Namely circular locking in rebuild_sched_domains() and unsafe access to
the cpu_online_map in the cpuset cpu hotplug handler.
This version includes changes suggested by Paul Jackson (naming, comments,
style, etc). I also got rid of the separate workqueue thread because it is
now safe to call get_online_cpus() from workqueue callbacks.
Here are some more details:
rebuild_sched_domains() is the only way to rebuild sched domains
correctly based on the current cpuset settings. What this means
is that we need to be able to call it from different contexts,
like cpu hotplug for example.
Also latest scheduler code in -tip now calls rebuild_sched_domains()
directly from functions like arch_reinit_sched_domains().
In order to support that properly we need to rework cpuset locking
rules to avoid circular dependencies, which is what this patch does.
New lock nesting rules are explained in the comments.
We can now safely call rebuild_sched_domains() from virtually any
context. The only requirement is that it needs to be called under
get_online_cpus(). This allows cpu hotplug handlers and the scheduler
to call rebuild_sched_domains() directly.
The rest of the cpuset code now offloads sched domains rebuilds to
a workqueue (async_rebuild_sched_domains()).
This version of the patch addresses comments from the previous review.
I fixed all miss-formated comments and trailing spaces.
I also factored out the code that builds domain masks and split up CPU and
memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe
access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make
things cleaner.
The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating &
removing domains and bringing cpus off/online at the same time) on the
quad-core2 based machine.
It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled.
This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working
as expected.

[PATCH] cpuset: memory pressure meter
Provide a simple per-cpuset metric of memory pressure, tracking the -rate-
that the tasks in a cpuset call try_to_free_pages(), the synchronous
(direct) memory reclaim code.
This enables batch managers monitoring jobs running in dedicated cpusets to
efficiently detect what level of memory pressure that job is causing.
This is useful both on tightly managed systems running a wide mix of
submitted jobs, which may choose to terminate or reprioritize jobs that are
trying to use more memory than allowed on the nodes assigned them, and with
tightly coupled, long running, massively parallel scientific computing jobs
that will dramatically fail to meet required performance goals if they
start to use more memory than allowed to them.
This patch just provides a very economical way for the batch manager to
monitor a cpuset for signs of memory pressure. It's up to the batch
manager or other user code to decide what to do about it and take action.
==> Unless this feature is enabled by writing "1" to the special file
/dev/cpuset/memory_pressure_enabled, the hook in the rebalance
code of __alloc_pages() for this metric reduces to simply noticing
that the cpuset_memory_pressure_enabled flag is zero. So only
systems that enable this feature will compute the metric.
Why a per-cpuset, running average:
Because this meter is per-cpuset, rather than per-task or mm, the
system load imposed by a batch scheduler monitoring this metric is
sharply reduced on large systems, because a scan of the tasklist can be
avoided on each set of queries.
Because this meter is a running average, instead of an accumulating
counter, a batch scheduler can detect memory pressure with a single
read, instead of having to read and accumulate results for a period of
time.
Because this meter is per-cpuset rather than per-task or mm, the
batch scheduler can obtain the key information, memory pressure in a
cpuset, with a single read, rather than having to query and accumulate
results over all the (dynamically changing) set of tasks in the cpuset.
A per-cpuset simple digital filter (requires a spinlock and 3 words of data
per-cpuset) is kept, and updated by any task attached to that cpuset, if it
enters the synchronous (direct) page reclaim code.
A per-cpuset file provides an integer number representing the recent
(half-life of 10 seconds) rate of direct page reclaims caused by the tasks
in the cpuset, in units of reclaims attempted per second, times 1000.

*
|
|
|
|
* These routines manage a digitally filtered, constant time based,
|
|
|
|
* event frequency meter. There are four routines:
|
|
|
|
* fmeter_init() - initialize a frequency meter.
|
|
|
|
* fmeter_markevent() - called each time the event happens.
|
|
|
|
* fmeter_getrate() - returns the recent rate of such events.
|
|
|
|
* fmeter_update() - internal routine used to update fmeter.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* A common data structure is passed to each of these routines,
|
|
|
|
* which is used to keep track of the state required to manage the
|
|
|
|
* frequency meter and its digital filter.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* The filter works on the number of events marked per unit time.
|
|
|
|
* The filter is single-pole low-pass recursive (IIR). The time unit
|
|
|
|
* is 1 second. Arithmetic is done using 32-bit integers scaled to
|
|
|
|
* simulate 3 decimal digits of precision (multiplied by 1000).
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* With an FM_COEF of 933, and a time base of 1 second, the filter
|
|
|
|
* has a half-life of 10 seconds, meaning that if the events quit
|
|
|
|
* happening, then the rate returned from the fmeter_getrate()
|
|
|
|
* will be cut in half each 10 seconds, until it converges to zero.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* It is not worth doing a real infinitely recursive filter. If more
|
|
|
|
* than FM_MAXTICKS ticks have elapsed since the last filter event,
|
|
|
|
* just compute FM_MAXTICKS ticks worth, by which point the level
|
|
|
|
* will be stable.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Limit the count of unprocessed events to FM_MAXCNT, so as to avoid
|
|
|
|
* arithmetic overflow in the fmeter_update() routine.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Given the simple 32 bit integer arithmetic used, this meter works
|
|
|
|
* best for reporting rates between one per millisecond (msec) and
|
|
|
|
* one per 32 (approx) seconds. At constant rates faster than one
|
|
|
|
* per msec it maxes out at values just under 1,000,000. At constant
|
|
|
|
* rates between one per msec, and one per second it will stabilize
|
|
|
|
* to a value N*1000, where N is the rate of events per second.
|
|
|
|
* At constant rates between one per second and one per 32 seconds,
|
|
|
|
* it will be choppy, moving up on the seconds that have an event,
|
|
|
|
* and then decaying until the next event. At rates slower than
|
|
|
|
* about one in 32 seconds, it decays all the way back to zero between
|
|
|
|
* each event.

[PATCH] cpusets: swap migration interface
Add a boolean "memory_migrate" to each cpuset, represented by a file
containing "0" or "1" in each directory below /dev/cpuset.
It defaults to false (file contains "0"). It can be set true by writing
"1" to the file.
If true, then anytime that a task is attached to the cpuset so marked, the

[PATCH] cpuset: rebind vma mempolicies fix
Fix more of longstanding bug in cpuset/mempolicy interaction.
NUMA mempolicies (mm/mempolicy.c) are constrained by the current tasks cpuset
to just the Memory Nodes allowed by that cpuset. The kernel maintains
internal state for each mempolicy, tracking what nodes are used for the
MPOL_INTERLEAVE, MPOL_BIND or MPOL_PREFERRED policies.
When a tasks cpuset memory placement changes, whether because the cpuset
changed, or because the task was attached to a different cpuset, then the
tasks mempolicies have to be rebound to the new cpuset placement, so as to
preserve the cpuset-relative numbering of the nodes in that policy.
An earlier fix handled such mempolicy rebinding for mempolicies attached to a
task.
This fix rebinds mempolicies attached to vma's (address ranges in a tasks
address space.) Due to the need to hold the task->mm->mmap_sem semaphore while
updating vma's, the rebinding of vma mempolicies has to be done when the
cpuset memory placement is changed, at which time mmap_sem can be safely
acquired. The tasks mempolicy is rebound later, when the task next attempts
to allocate memory and notices that its task->cpuset_mems_generation is
out-of-date with its cpusets mems_generation.
Because walking the tasklist to find all tasks attached to a changing cpuset
requires holding tasklist_lock, a spinlock, one cannot update the vma's of the
affected tasks while doing the tasklist scan. In general, one cannot acquire
a semaphore (which can sleep) while already holding a spinlock (such as
tasklist_lock). So a list of mm references has to be built up during the
tasklist scan, then the tasklist lock dropped, then for each mm, its mmap_sem
acquired, and the vma's in that mm rebound.
Once the tasklist lock is dropped, affected tasks may fork new tasks, before
their mm's are rebound. A kernel global 'cpuset_being_rebound' is set to
point to the cpuset being rebound (there can only be one; cpuset modifications
are done under a global 'manage_sem' semaphore), and the mpol_copy code that
is used to copy a tasks mempolicies during fork catches such forking tasks,
and ensures their children are also rebound.
When a task is moved to a different cpuset, it is easier, as there is only one
task involved. It's mm->vma's are scanned, using the same
mpol_rebind_policy() as used above.
It may happen that both the mpol_copy hook and the update done via the
tasklist scan update the same mm twice. This is ok, as the mempolicies of
each vma in an mm keep track of what mems_allowed they are relative to, and
safely no-op a second request to rebind to the same nodes.

[PATCH] cpuset: memory pressure meter
Provide a simple per-cpuset metric of memory pressure, tracking the -rate-
that the tasks in a cpuset call try_to_free_pages(), the synchronous
(direct) memory reclaim code.
This enables batch managers monitoring jobs running in dedicated cpusets to
efficiently detect what level of memory pressure that job is causing.
This is useful both on tightly managed systems running a wide mix of
submitted jobs, which may choose to terminate or reprioritize jobs that are
trying to use more memory than allowed on the nodes assigned them, and with
tightly coupled, long running, massively parallel scientific computing jobs
that will dramatically fail to meet required performance goals if they
start to use more memory than allowed to them.
This patch just provides a very economical way for the batch manager to
monitor a cpuset for signs of memory pressure. It's up to the batch
manager or other user code to decide what to do about it and take action.
==> Unless this feature is enabled by writing "1" to the special file
/dev/cpuset/memory_pressure_enabled, the hook in the rebalance
code of __alloc_pages() for this metric reduces to simply noticing
that the cpuset_memory_pressure_enabled flag is zero. So only
systems that enable this feature will compute the metric.
Why a per-cpuset, running average:
Because this meter is per-cpuset, rather than per-task or mm, the
system load imposed by a batch scheduler monitoring this metric is
sharply reduced on large systems, because a scan of the tasklist can be
avoided on each set of queries.
Because this meter is a running average, instead of an accumulating
counter, a batch scheduler can detect memory pressure with a single
read, instead of having to read and accumulate results for a period of
time.
Because this meter is per-cpuset rather than per-task or mm, the
batch scheduler can obtain the key information, memory pressure in a
cpuset, with a single read, rather than having to query and accumulate
results over all the (dynamically changing) set of tasks in the cpuset.
A per-cpuset simple digital filter (requires a spinlock and 3 words of data
per-cpuset) is kept, and updated by any task attached to that cpuset, if it
enters the synchronous (direct) page reclaim code.
A per-cpuset file provides an integer number representing the recent
(half-life of 10 seconds) rate of direct page reclaims caused by the tasks
in the cpuset, in units of reclaims attempted per second, times 1000.

[PATCH] cpuset memory spread basic implementation
This patch provides the implementation and cpuset interface for an alternative
memory allocation policy that can be applied to certain kinds of memory
allocations, such as the page cache (file system buffers) and some slab caches
(such as inode caches).
The policy is called "memory spreading." If enabled, it spreads out these
kinds of memory allocations over all the nodes allowed to a task, instead of
preferring to place them on the node where the task is executing.
All other kinds of allocations, including anonymous pages for a tasks stack
and data regions, are not affected by this policy choice, and continue to be
allocated preferring the node local to execution, as modified by the NUMA
mempolicy.
There are two boolean flag files per cpuset that control where the kernel
allocates pages for the file system buffers and related in kernel data
structures. They are called 'memory_spread_page' and 'memory_spread_slab'.
If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_page' is set, then the
kernel will spread the file system buffers (page cache) evenly over all the
nodes that the faulting task is allowed to use, instead of preferring to put
those pages on the node where the task is running.
If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_slab' is set, then the
kernel will spread some file system related slab caches, such as for inodes
and dentries evenly over all the nodes that the faulting task is allowed to
use, instead of preferring to put those pages on the node where the task is
running.
The implementation is simple. Setting the cpuset flags 'memory_spread_page'
or 'memory_spread_cache' turns on the per-process flags PF_SPREAD_PAGE or
PF_SPREAD_SLAB, respectively, for each task that is in the cpuset or
subsequently joins that cpuset. In subsequent patches, the page allocation
calls for the affected page cache and slab caches are modified to perform an
inline check for these flags, and if set, a call to a new routine
cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns the node to prefer for the allocation.
The cpuset_mem_spread_node() routine is also simple. It uses the value of a
per-task rotor cpuset_mem_spread_rotor to select the next node in the current
tasks mems_allowed to prefer for the allocation.
This policy can provide substantial improvements for jobs that need to place
thread local data on the corresponding node, but that need to access large
file system data sets that need to be spread across the several nodes in the
jobs cpuset in order to fit. Without this patch, especially for jobs that
might have one thread reading in the data set, the memory allocation across
the nodes in the jobs cpuset can become very uneven.
A couple of Copyright year ranges are updated as well. And a couple of email
addresses that can be found in the MAINTAINERS file are removed.

The policy is called "memory spreading." If enabled, it spreads out these

All other kinds of allocations, including anonymous pages for a tasks stack

There are two boolean flag files per cpuset that control where the kernel

The cpuset_mem_spread_node() routine is also simple. It uses the value of a

[PATCH] cpuset memory spread basic implementation
This patch provides the implementation and cpuset interface for an alternative
memory allocation policy that can be applied to certain kinds of memory
allocations, such as the page cache (file system buffers) and some slab caches
(such as inode caches).
The policy is called "memory spreading." If enabled, it spreads out these
kinds of memory allocations over all the nodes allowed to a task, instead of
preferring to place them on the node where the task is executing.
All other kinds of allocations, including anonymous pages for a tasks stack
and data regions, are not affected by this policy choice, and continue to be
allocated preferring the node local to execution, as modified by the NUMA
mempolicy.
There are two boolean flag files per cpuset that control where the kernel
allocates pages for the file system buffers and related in kernel data
structures. They are called 'memory_spread_page' and 'memory_spread_slab'.
If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_page' is set, then the
kernel will spread the file system buffers (page cache) evenly over all the
nodes that the faulting task is allowed to use, instead of preferring to put
those pages on the node where the task is running.
If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_slab' is set, then the
kernel will spread some file system related slab caches, such as for inodes
and dentries evenly over all the nodes that the faulting task is allowed to
use, instead of preferring to put those pages on the node where the task is
running.
The implementation is simple. Setting the cpuset flags 'memory_spread_page'
or 'memory_spread_cache' turns on the per-process flags PF_SPREAD_PAGE or
PF_SPREAD_SLAB, respectively, for each task that is in the cpuset or
subsequently joins that cpuset. In subsequent patches, the page allocation
calls for the affected page cache and slab caches are modified to perform an
inline check for these flags, and if set, a call to a new routine
cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns the node to prefer for the allocation.
The cpuset_mem_spread_node() routine is also simple. It uses the value of a
per-task rotor cpuset_mem_spread_rotor to select the next node in the current
tasks mems_allowed to prefer for the allocation.
This policy can provide substantial improvements for jobs that need to place
thread local data on the corresponding node, but that need to access large
file system data sets that need to be spread across the several nodes in the
jobs cpuset in order to fit. Without this patch, especially for jobs that
might have one thread reading in the data set, the memory allocation across
the nodes in the jobs cpuset can become very uneven.
A couple of Copyright year ranges are updated as well. And a couple of email
addresses that can be found in the MAINTAINERS file are removed.

sched, cpuset: rework sched domains and CPU hotplug handling (v4)
This is an updated version of my previous cpuset patch on top of
the latest mainline git.
The patch fixes CPU hotplug handling issues in the current cpusets code.
Namely circular locking in rebuild_sched_domains() and unsafe access to
the cpu_online_map in the cpuset cpu hotplug handler.
This version includes changes suggested by Paul Jackson (naming, comments,
style, etc). I also got rid of the separate workqueue thread because it is
now safe to call get_online_cpus() from workqueue callbacks.
Here are some more details:
rebuild_sched_domains() is the only way to rebuild sched domains
correctly based on the current cpuset settings. What this means
is that we need to be able to call it from different contexts,
like cpu hotplug for example.
Also latest scheduler code in -tip now calls rebuild_sched_domains()
directly from functions like arch_reinit_sched_domains().
In order to support that properly we need to rework cpuset locking
rules to avoid circular dependencies, which is what this patch does.
New lock nesting rules are explained in the comments.
We can now safely call rebuild_sched_domains() from virtually any
context. The only requirement is that it needs to be called under
get_online_cpus(). This allows cpu hotplug handlers and the scheduler
to call rebuild_sched_domains() directly.
The rest of the cpuset code now offloads sched domains rebuilds to
a workqueue (async_rebuild_sched_domains()).
This version of the patch addresses comments from the previous review.
I fixed all miss-formated comments and trailing spaces.
I also factored out the code that builds domain masks and split up CPU and
memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe
access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make
things cleaner.
The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating &
removing domains and bringing cpus off/online at the same time) on the
quad-core2 based machine.
It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled.
This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working
as expected.

[PATCH] cpusets: swap migration interface
Add a boolean "memory_migrate" to each cpuset, represented by a file
containing "0" or "1" in each directory below /dev/cpuset.
It defaults to false (file contains "0"). It can be set true by writing
"1" to the file.
If true, then anytime that a task is attached to the cpuset so marked, the
pages of that task will be moved to that cpuset, preserving, to the extent
practical, the cpuset-relative placement of the pages.
Also anytime that a cpuset so marked has its memory placement changed (by
writing to its "mems" file), the tasks in that cpuset will have their pages
moved to the cpusets new nodes, preserving, to the extent practical, the
cpuset-relative placement of the moved pages.

[PATCH] cpuset: memory pressure meter
Provide a simple per-cpuset metric of memory pressure, tracking the -rate-
that the tasks in a cpuset call try_to_free_pages(), the synchronous
(direct) memory reclaim code.
This enables batch managers monitoring jobs running in dedicated cpusets to
efficiently detect what level of memory pressure that job is causing.
This is useful both on tightly managed systems running a wide mix of
submitted jobs, which may choose to terminate or reprioritize jobs that are
trying to use more memory than allowed on the nodes assigned them, and with
tightly coupled, long running, massively parallel scientific computing jobs
that will dramatically fail to meet required performance goals if they
start to use more memory than allowed to them.
This patch just provides a very economical way for the batch manager to
monitor a cpuset for signs of memory pressure. It's up to the batch
manager or other user code to decide what to do about it and take action.
==> Unless this feature is enabled by writing "1" to the special file
/dev/cpuset/memory_pressure_enabled, the hook in the rebalance
code of __alloc_pages() for this metric reduces to simply noticing
that the cpuset_memory_pressure_enabled flag is zero. So only
systems that enable this feature will compute the metric.
Why a per-cpuset, running average:
Because this meter is per-cpuset, rather than per-task or mm, the
system load imposed by a batch scheduler monitoring this metric is
sharply reduced on large systems, because a scan of the tasklist can be
avoided on each set of queries.
Because this meter is a running average, instead of an accumulating
counter, a batch scheduler can detect memory pressure with a single
read, instead of having to read and accumulate results for a period of
time.
Because this meter is per-cpuset rather than per-task or mm, the
batch scheduler can obtain the key information, memory pressure in a
cpuset, with a single read, rather than having to query and accumulate
results over all the (dynamically changing) set of tasks in the cpuset.
A per-cpuset simple digital filter (requires a spinlock and 3 words of data
per-cpuset) is kept, and updated by any task attached to that cpuset, if it
enters the synchronous (direct) page reclaim code.
A per-cpuset file provides an integer number representing the recent
(half-life of 10 seconds) rate of direct page reclaims caused by the tasks
in the cpuset, in units of reclaims attempted per second, times 1000.

[PATCH] cpuset memory spread basic implementation
This patch provides the implementation and cpuset interface for an alternative
memory allocation policy that can be applied to certain kinds of memory
allocations, such as the page cache (file system buffers) and some slab caches
(such as inode caches).
The policy is called "memory spreading." If enabled, it spreads out these
kinds of memory allocations over all the nodes allowed to a task, instead of
preferring to place them on the node where the task is executing.
All other kinds of allocations, including anonymous pages for a tasks stack
and data regions, are not affected by this policy choice, and continue to be
allocated preferring the node local to execution, as modified by the NUMA
mempolicy.
There are two boolean flag files per cpuset that control where the kernel
allocates pages for the file system buffers and related in kernel data
structures. They are called 'memory_spread_page' and 'memory_spread_slab'.
If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_page' is set, then the
kernel will spread the file system buffers (page cache) evenly over all the
nodes that the faulting task is allowed to use, instead of preferring to put
those pages on the node where the task is running.
If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_slab' is set, then the
kernel will spread some file system related slab caches, such as for inodes
and dentries evenly over all the nodes that the faulting task is allowed to
use, instead of preferring to put those pages on the node where the task is
running.
The implementation is simple. Setting the cpuset flags 'memory_spread_page'
or 'memory_spread_cache' turns on the per-process flags PF_SPREAD_PAGE or
PF_SPREAD_SLAB, respectively, for each task that is in the cpuset or
subsequently joins that cpuset. In subsequent patches, the page allocation
calls for the affected page cache and slab caches are modified to perform an
inline check for these flags, and if set, a call to a new routine
cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns the node to prefer for the allocation.
The cpuset_mem_spread_node() routine is also simple. It uses the value of a
per-task rotor cpuset_mem_spread_rotor to select the next node in the current
tasks mems_allowed to prefer for the allocation.
This policy can provide substantial improvements for jobs that need to place
thread local data on the corresponding node, but that need to access large
file system data sets that need to be spread across the several nodes in the
jobs cpuset in order to fit. Without this patch, especially for jobs that
might have one thread reading in the data set, the memory allocation across
the nodes in the jobs cpuset can become very uneven.
A couple of Copyright year ranges are updated as well. And a couple of email
addresses that can be found in the MAINTAINERS file are removed.

[PATCH] cpuset: memory pressure meter
Provide a simple per-cpuset metric of memory pressure, tracking the -rate-
that the tasks in a cpuset call try_to_free_pages(), the synchronous
(direct) memory reclaim code.
This enables batch managers monitoring jobs running in dedicated cpusets to
efficiently detect what level of memory pressure that job is causing.
This is useful both on tightly managed systems running a wide mix of
submitted jobs, which may choose to terminate or reprioritize jobs that are
trying to use more memory than allowed on the nodes assigned them, and with
tightly coupled, long running, massively parallel scientific computing jobs
that will dramatically fail to meet required performance goals if they
start to use more memory than allowed to them.
This patch just provides a very economical way for the batch manager to
monitor a cpuset for signs of memory pressure. It's up to the batch
manager or other user code to decide what to do about it and take action.
==> Unless this feature is enabled by writing "1" to the special file
/dev/cpuset/memory_pressure_enabled, the hook in the rebalance
code of __alloc_pages() for this metric reduces to simply noticing
that the cpuset_memory_pressure_enabled flag is zero. So only
systems that enable this feature will compute the metric.
Why a per-cpuset, running average:
Because this meter is per-cpuset, rather than per-task or mm, the
system load imposed by a batch scheduler monitoring this metric is
sharply reduced on large systems, because a scan of the tasklist can be
avoided on each set of queries.
Because this meter is a running average, instead of an accumulating
counter, a batch scheduler can detect memory pressure with a single
read, instead of having to read and accumulate results for a period of
time.
Because this meter is per-cpuset rather than per-task or mm, the
batch scheduler can obtain the key information, memory pressure in a
cpuset, with a single read, rather than having to query and accumulate
results over all the (dynamically changing) set of tasks in the cpuset.
A per-cpuset simple digital filter (requires a spinlock and 3 words of data
per-cpuset) is kept, and updated by any task attached to that cpuset, if it
enters the synchronous (direct) page reclaim code.
A per-cpuset file provides an integer number representing the recent
(half-life of 10 seconds) rate of direct page reclaims caused by the tasks
in the cpuset, in units of reclaims attempted per second, times 1000.

sched, cpuset: rework sched domains and CPU hotplug handling (v4)
This is an updated version of my previous cpuset patch on top of
the latest mainline git.
The patch fixes CPU hotplug handling issues in the current cpusets code.
Namely circular locking in rebuild_sched_domains() and unsafe access to
the cpu_online_map in the cpuset cpu hotplug handler.
This version includes changes suggested by Paul Jackson (naming, comments,
style, etc). I also got rid of the separate workqueue thread because it is
now safe to call get_online_cpus() from workqueue callbacks.
Here are some more details:
rebuild_sched_domains() is the only way to rebuild sched domains
correctly based on the current cpuset settings. What this means
is that we need to be able to call it from different contexts,
like cpu hotplug for example.
Also latest scheduler code in -tip now calls rebuild_sched_domains()
directly from functions like arch_reinit_sched_domains().
In order to support that properly we need to rework cpuset locking
rules to avoid circular dependencies, which is what this patch does.
New lock nesting rules are explained in the comments.
We can now safely call rebuild_sched_domains() from virtually any
context. The only requirement is that it needs to be called under
get_online_cpus(). This allows cpu hotplug handlers and the scheduler
to call rebuild_sched_domains() directly.
The rest of the cpuset code now offloads sched domains rebuilds to
a workqueue (async_rebuild_sched_domains()).
This version of the patch addresses comments from the previous review.
I fixed all miss-formated comments and trailing spaces.
I also factored out the code that builds domain masks and split up CPU and
memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe
access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make
things cleaner.
The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating &
removing domains and bringing cpus off/online at the same time) on the
quad-core2 based machine.
It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled.
This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working
as expected.

[PATCH] cpuset: memory pressure meter
Provide a simple per-cpuset metric of memory pressure, tracking the -rate-
that the tasks in a cpuset call try_to_free_pages(), the synchronous
(direct) memory reclaim code.
This enables batch managers monitoring jobs running in dedicated cpusets to
efficiently detect what level of memory pressure that job is causing.
This is useful both on tightly managed systems running a wide mix of
submitted jobs, which may choose to terminate or reprioritize jobs that are
trying to use more memory than allowed on the nodes assigned them, and with
tightly coupled, long running, massively parallel scientific computing jobs
that will dramatically fail to meet required performance goals if they
start to use more memory than allowed to them.
This patch just provides a very economical way for the batch manager to
monitor a cpuset for signs of memory pressure. It's up to the batch
manager or other user code to decide what to do about it and take action.
==> Unless this feature is enabled by writing "1" to the special file
/dev/cpuset/memory_pressure_enabled, the hook in the rebalance
code of __alloc_pages() for this metric reduces to simply noticing
that the cpuset_memory_pressure_enabled flag is zero. So only
systems that enable this feature will compute the metric.
Why a per-cpuset, running average:
Because this meter is per-cpuset, rather than per-task or mm, the
system load imposed by a batch scheduler monitoring this metric is
sharply reduced on large systems, because a scan of the tasklist can be
avoided on each set of queries.
Because this meter is a running average, instead of an accumulating
counter, a batch scheduler can detect memory pressure with a single
read, instead of having to read and accumulate results for a period of
time.
Because this meter is per-cpuset rather than per-task or mm, the
batch scheduler can obtain the key information, memory pressure in a
cpuset, with a single read, rather than having to query and accumulate
results over all the (dynamically changing) set of tasks in the cpuset.
A per-cpuset simple digital filter (requires a spinlock and 3 words of data
per-cpuset) is kept, and updated by any task attached to that cpuset, if it
enters the synchronous (direct) page reclaim code.
A per-cpuset file provides an integer number representing the recent
(half-life of 10 seconds) rate of direct page reclaims caused by the tasks
in the cpuset, in units of reclaims attempted per second, times 1000.

hotplug cpu: move tasks in empty cpusets to parent various other fixes

I had had "iff", meaning "if and only if" in a comment. However, except for
ancient mathematicians, the abbreviation "iff" was a tad too cryptic. Cliff
changed it to "if", presumably figuring that the "iff" was a typo. However,
it was the "only if" half of the conjunction that was most interesting.
Reword to emphasis the "only if" aspect.
The locking comment for remove_tasks_in_empty_cpuset() was wrong; it said
callback_mutex had to be held on entry. The opposite is true.
Several mentions of attach_task() in comments needed to be
changed to cgroup_attach_task().
A comment about notify_on_release was no longer relevant,
as the line of code it had commented, namely:
set_bit(CS_RELEASED_RESOURCE, &parent->flags);
is no longer present in that place in the cpuset.c code.
Similarly a comment about notify_on_release before the

Removed extra parentheses and unnecessary return statement.
Renamed attach_task() to cpuset_attach() in various comments.
Removed comment about not needing memory migration, as it seems the migration
is done anyway, via the cpuset_attach() callback from cgroup_attach_task().

hotplug cpu: move tasks in empty cpusets to parent various other fixes
Various minor formatting and comment tweaks to Cliff Wickman's
[PATCH_3_of_3]_cpusets__update_cpumask_revision.patch
I had had "iff", meaning "if and only if" in a comment. However, except for
ancient mathematicians, the abbreviation "iff" was a tad too cryptic. Cliff
changed it to "if", presumably figuring that the "iff" was a typo. However,
it was the "only if" half of the conjunction that was most interesting.
Reword to emphasis the "only if" aspect.
The locking comment for remove_tasks_in_empty_cpuset() was wrong; it said
callback_mutex had to be held on entry. The opposite is true.
Several mentions of attach_task() in comments needed to be
changed to cgroup_attach_task().
A comment about notify_on_release was no longer relevant,
as the line of code it had commented, namely:
set_bit(CS_RELEASED_RESOURCE, &parent->flags);
is no longer present in that place in the cpuset.c code.
Similarly a comment about notify_on_release before the
scan_for_empty_cpusets() routine was no longer relevant.
Removed extra parentheses and unnecessary return statement.
Renamed attach_task() to cpuset_attach() in various comments.
Removed comment about not needing memory migration, as it seems the migration
is done anyway, via the cpuset_attach() callback from cgroup_attach_task().

[PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to cpu_online_map
Change the list of cpus allowed to tasks in the top (root) cpuset to
dynamically track what cpus are online, using a CPU hotplug notifier. Make
this top cpus file read-only.
On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.
If that system does support CPU hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use
of CPUs that are added after system boot, because the CPUs are not allowed
in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels
that didn't have cpusets enabled.
In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'cpus' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of cpu_online_map. Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged CPUs allowed
by their cpuset.
Thanks to Anton Blanchard and Nathan Lynch for reporting this problem,
driving the fix, and earlier versions of this patch.

[PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to node_online_map
Change the list of memory nodes allowed to tasks in the top (root) nodeset
to dynamically track what cpus are online, using a call to a cpuset hook
from the memory hotplug code. Make this top cpus file read-only.
On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.
If that system does support memory hotplug, then these tasks cannot make
use of memory nodes that are added after system boot, because the memory
nodes are not allowed in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression
over earlier kernels that didn't have cpusets enabled.
One key motivation for this change is to remain consistent with the
behaviour for the top_cpuset's 'cpus', which is also read-only, and which
automatically tracks the cpu_online_map.
This change also has the minor benefit that it fixes a long standing,
little noticed, minor bug in cpusets. The cpuset performance tweak to
short circuit the cpuset_zone_allowed() check on systems with just a single
cpuset (see 'number_of_cpusets', in linux/cpuset.h) meant that simply
changing the 'mems' of the top_cpuset had no affect, even though the change
(the write system call) appeared to succeed. With the following change,
that write to the 'mems' file fails -EACCES, and the 'mems' file stubbornly
refuses to be changed via user space writes. Thus no one should be mislead
into thinking they've changed the top_cpusets's 'mems' when in affect they
haven't.
In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'mems' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of node_online_map. Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged memory nodes
allowed by their cpuset.

sched, cpuset: rework sched domains and CPU hotplug handling (v4)
This is an updated version of my previous cpuset patch on top of
the latest mainline git.
The patch fixes CPU hotplug handling issues in the current cpusets code.
Namely circular locking in rebuild_sched_domains() and unsafe access to
the cpu_online_map in the cpuset cpu hotplug handler.
This version includes changes suggested by Paul Jackson (naming, comments,
style, etc). I also got rid of the separate workqueue thread because it is
now safe to call get_online_cpus() from workqueue callbacks.
Here are some more details:
rebuild_sched_domains() is the only way to rebuild sched domains
correctly based on the current cpuset settings. What this means
is that we need to be able to call it from different contexts,
like cpu hotplug for example.
Also latest scheduler code in -tip now calls rebuild_sched_domains()
directly from functions like arch_reinit_sched_domains().
In order to support that properly we need to rework cpuset locking
rules to avoid circular dependencies, which is what this patch does.
New lock nesting rules are explained in the comments.
We can now safely call rebuild_sched_domains() from virtually any
context. The only requirement is that it needs to be called under
get_online_cpus(). This allows cpu hotplug handlers and the scheduler
to call rebuild_sched_domains() directly.
The rest of the cpuset code now offloads sched domains rebuilds to
a workqueue (async_rebuild_sched_domains()).
This version of the patch addresses comments from the previous review.
I fixed all miss-formated comments and trailing spaces.
I also factored out the code that builds domain masks and split up CPU and
memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe
access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make
things cleaner.
The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating &
removing domains and bringing cpus off/online at the same time) on the
quad-core2 based machine.
It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled.
This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working
as expected.

sched, cpuset: rework sched domains and CPU hotplug handling (v4)
This is an updated version of my previous cpuset patch on top of
the latest mainline git.
The patch fixes CPU hotplug handling issues in the current cpusets code.
Namely circular locking in rebuild_sched_domains() and unsafe access to
the cpu_online_map in the cpuset cpu hotplug handler.
This version includes changes suggested by Paul Jackson (naming, comments,
style, etc). I also got rid of the separate workqueue thread because it is
now safe to call get_online_cpus() from workqueue callbacks.
Here are some more details:
rebuild_sched_domains() is the only way to rebuild sched domains
correctly based on the current cpuset settings. What this means
is that we need to be able to call it from different contexts,
like cpu hotplug for example.
Also latest scheduler code in -tip now calls rebuild_sched_domains()
directly from functions like arch_reinit_sched_domains().
In order to support that properly we need to rework cpuset locking
rules to avoid circular dependencies, which is what this patch does.
New lock nesting rules are explained in the comments.
We can now safely call rebuild_sched_domains() from virtually any
context. The only requirement is that it needs to be called under
get_online_cpus(). This allows cpu hotplug handlers and the scheduler
to call rebuild_sched_domains() directly.
The rest of the cpuset code now offloads sched domains rebuilds to
a workqueue (async_rebuild_sched_domains()).
This version of the patch addresses comments from the previous review.
I fixed all miss-formated comments and trailing spaces.
I also factored out the code that builds domain masks and split up CPU and
memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe
access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make
things cleaner.
The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating &
removing domains and bringing cpus off/online at the same time) on the
quad-core2 based machine.
It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled.
This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working
as expected.

[PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to cpu_online_map
Change the list of cpus allowed to tasks in the top (root) cpuset to
dynamically track what cpus are online, using a CPU hotplug notifier. Make
this top cpus file read-only.
On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.
If that system does support CPU hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use
of CPUs that are added after system boot, because the CPUs are not allowed
in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels
that didn't have cpusets enabled.
In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'cpus' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of cpu_online_map. Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged CPUs allowed
by their cpuset.
Thanks to Anton Blanchard and Nathan Lynch for reporting this problem,
driving the fix, and earlier versions of this patch.

[PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to node_online_map
Change the list of memory nodes allowed to tasks in the top (root) nodeset
to dynamically track what cpus are online, using a call to a cpuset hook
from the memory hotplug code. Make this top cpus file read-only.
On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.
If that system does support memory hotplug, then these tasks cannot make
use of memory nodes that are added after system boot, because the memory
nodes are not allowed in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression
over earlier kernels that didn't have cpusets enabled.
One key motivation for this change is to remain consistent with the
behaviour for the top_cpuset's 'cpus', which is also read-only, and which
automatically tracks the cpu_online_map.
This change also has the minor benefit that it fixes a long standing,
little noticed, minor bug in cpusets. The cpuset performance tweak to
short circuit the cpuset_zone_allowed() check on systems with just a single
cpuset (see 'number_of_cpusets', in linux/cpuset.h) meant that simply
changing the 'mems' of the top_cpuset had no affect, even though the change
(the write system call) appeared to succeed. With the following change,
that write to the 'mems' file fails -EACCES, and the 'mems' file stubbornly
refuses to be changed via user space writes. Thus no one should be mislead
into thinking they've changed the top_cpusets's 'mems' when in affect they
haven't.
In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'mems' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of node_online_map. Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged memory nodes
allowed by their cpuset.

memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe
access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make
things cleaner.
The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating &
removing domains and bringing cpus off/online at the same time) on the
quad-core2 based machine.
It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled.
This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working
as expected.

[PATCH] cpusets: formalize intermediate GFP_KERNEL containment
This patch makes use of the previously underutilized cpuset flag
'mem_exclusive' to provide what amounts to another layer of memory placement
resolution. With this patch, there are now the following four layers of
memory placement available:
1) The whole system (interrupt and GFP_ATOMIC allocations can use this),
2) The nearest enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset (GFP_KERNEL allocations can use),
3) The current tasks cpuset (GFP_USER allocations constrained to here), and
4) Specific node placement, using mbind and set_mempolicy.
These nest - each layer is a subset (same or within) of the previous.
Layer (2) above is new, with this patch. The call used to check whether a
zone (its node, actually) is in a cpuset (in its mems_allowed, actually) is
extended to take a gfp_mask argument, and its logic is extended, in the case
that __GFP_HARDWALL is not set in the flag bits, to look up the cpuset
hierarchy for the nearest enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset, to determine if
placement is allowed. The definition of GFP_USER, which used to be identical
to GFP_KERNEL, is changed to also set the __GFP_HARDWALL bit, in the previous
cpuset_gfp_hardwall_flag patch.
GFP_ATOMIC and GFP_KERNEL allocations will stay within the current tasks
cpuset, so long as any node therein is not too tight on memory, but will
escape to the larger layer, if need be.
The intended use is to allow something like a batch manager to handle several
jobs, each job in its own cpuset, but using common kernel memory for caches
and such. Swapper and oom_kill activity is also constrained to Layer (2). A
task in or below one mem_exclusive cpuset should not cause swapping on nodes
in another non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpuset, nor provoke oom_killing of a
task in another such cpuset. Heavy use of kernel memory for i/o caching and
such by one job should not impact the memory available to jobs in other
non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpusets.
This patch enables providing hardwall, inescapable cpusets for memory
allocations of each job, while sharing kernel memory allocations between
several jobs, in an enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset.
Like Dinakar's patch earlier to enable administering sched domains using the
cpu_exclusive flag, this patch also provides a useful meaning to a cpuset flag
that had previously done nothing much useful other than restrict what cpuset
configurations were allowed.

[PATCH] cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api
Elaborate the API for calling cpuset_zone_allowed(), so that users have to
explicitly choose between the two variants:
cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall()
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall()
Until now, whether or not you got the hardwall flavor depended solely on
whether or not you or'd in the __GFP_HARDWALL gfp flag to the gfp_mask
argument.
If you didn't specify __GFP_HARDWALL, you implicitly got the softwall
version.
Unfortunately, this meant that users would end up with the softwall version
without thinking about it. Since only the softwall version might sleep,
this led to bugs with possible sleeping in interrupt context on more than
one occassion.
The hardwall version requires that the current tasks mems_allowed allows
the node of the specified zone (or that you're in interrupt or that
__GFP_THISNODE is set or that you're on a one cpuset system.)
The softwall version, depending on the gfp_mask, might allow a node if it
was allowed in the nearest enclusing cpuset marked mem_exclusive (which
requires taking the cpuset lock 'callback_mutex' to evaluate.)
This patch removes the cpuset_zone_allowed() call, and forces the caller to
explicitly choose between the hardwall and the softwall case.
If the caller wants the gfp_mask to determine this choice, they should (1)
be sure they can sleep or that __GFP_HARDWALL is set, and (2) invoke the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine.
This adds another 100 or 200 bytes to the kernel text space, due to the few
lines of nearly duplicate code at the top of both cpuset_zone_allowed_*
routines. It should save a few instructions executed for the calls that
turned into calls of cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall, thanks to not having to
set (before the call) then check (within the call) the __GFP_HARDWALL flag.
For the most critical call, from get_page_from_freelist(), the same
instructions are executed as before -- the old cpuset_zone_allowed()
routine it used to call is the same code as the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine that it calls now.
Not a perfect win, but seems worth it, to reduce this chance of hitting a
sleeping with irq off complaint again.

[PATCH] cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api
Elaborate the API for calling cpuset_zone_allowed(), so that users have to
explicitly choose between the two variants:
cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall()
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall()
Until now, whether or not you got the hardwall flavor depended solely on
whether or not you or'd in the __GFP_HARDWALL gfp flag to the gfp_mask
argument.
If you didn't specify __GFP_HARDWALL, you implicitly got the softwall
version.
Unfortunately, this meant that users would end up with the softwall version
without thinking about it. Since only the softwall version might sleep,
this led to bugs with possible sleeping in interrupt context on more than
one occassion.
The hardwall version requires that the current tasks mems_allowed allows
the node of the specified zone (or that you're in interrupt or that
__GFP_THISNODE is set or that you're on a one cpuset system.)
The softwall version, depending on the gfp_mask, might allow a node if it
was allowed in the nearest enclusing cpuset marked mem_exclusive (which
requires taking the cpuset lock 'callback_mutex' to evaluate.)
This patch removes the cpuset_zone_allowed() call, and forces the caller to
explicitly choose between the hardwall and the softwall case.
If the caller wants the gfp_mask to determine this choice, they should (1)
be sure they can sleep or that __GFP_HARDWALL is set, and (2) invoke the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine.
This adds another 100 or 200 bytes to the kernel text space, due to the few
lines of nearly duplicate code at the top of both cpuset_zone_allowed_*
routines. It should save a few instructions executed for the calls that
turned into calls of cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall, thanks to not having to
set (before the call) then check (within the call) the __GFP_HARDWALL flag.
For the most critical call, from get_page_from_freelist(), the same
instructions are executed as before -- the old cpuset_zone_allowed()
routine it used to call is the same code as the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine that it calls now.
Not a perfect win, but seems worth it, to reduce this chance of hitting a
sleeping with irq off complaint again.

[PATCH] cpusets: formalize intermediate GFP_KERNEL containment
This patch makes use of the previously underutilized cpuset flag
'mem_exclusive' to provide what amounts to another layer of memory placement
resolution. With this patch, there are now the following four layers of
memory placement available:
1) The whole system (interrupt and GFP_ATOMIC allocations can use this),
2) The nearest enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset (GFP_KERNEL allocations can use),
3) The current tasks cpuset (GFP_USER allocations constrained to here), and
4) Specific node placement, using mbind and set_mempolicy.
These nest - each layer is a subset (same or within) of the previous.
Layer (2) above is new, with this patch. The call used to check whether a
zone (its node, actually) is in a cpuset (in its mems_allowed, actually) is
extended to take a gfp_mask argument, and its logic is extended, in the case
that __GFP_HARDWALL is not set in the flag bits, to look up the cpuset
hierarchy for the nearest enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset, to determine if
placement is allowed. The definition of GFP_USER, which used to be identical
to GFP_KERNEL, is changed to also set the __GFP_HARDWALL bit, in the previous
cpuset_gfp_hardwall_flag patch.
GFP_ATOMIC and GFP_KERNEL allocations will stay within the current tasks
cpuset, so long as any node therein is not too tight on memory, but will
escape to the larger layer, if need be.
The intended use is to allow something like a batch manager to handle several
jobs, each job in its own cpuset, but using common kernel memory for caches
and such. Swapper and oom_kill activity is also constrained to Layer (2). A
task in or below one mem_exclusive cpuset should not cause swapping on nodes
in another non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpuset, nor provoke oom_killing of a
task in another such cpuset. Heavy use of kernel memory for i/o caching and
such by one job should not impact the memory available to jobs in other
non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpusets.
This patch enables providing hardwall, inescapable cpusets for memory
allocations of each job, while sharing kernel memory allocations between
several jobs, in an enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset.
Like Dinakar's patch earlier to enable administering sched domains using the
cpu_exclusive flag, this patch also provides a useful meaning to a cpuset flag
that had previously done nothing much useful other than restrict what cpuset
configurations were allowed.

[PATCH] cpusets: formalize intermediate GFP_KERNEL containment
This patch makes use of the previously underutilized cpuset flag
'mem_exclusive' to provide what amounts to another layer of memory placement
resolution. With this patch, there are now the following four layers of
memory placement available:
1) The whole system (interrupt and GFP_ATOMIC allocations can use this),
2) The nearest enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset (GFP_KERNEL allocations can use),
3) The current tasks cpuset (GFP_USER allocations constrained to here), and
4) Specific node placement, using mbind and set_mempolicy.
These nest - each layer is a subset (same or within) of the previous.
Layer (2) above is new, with this patch. The call used to check whether a
zone (its node, actually) is in a cpuset (in its mems_allowed, actually) is
extended to take a gfp_mask argument, and its logic is extended, in the case
that __GFP_HARDWALL is not set in the flag bits, to look up the cpuset
hierarchy for the nearest enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset, to determine if
placement is allowed. The definition of GFP_USER, which used to be identical
to GFP_KERNEL, is changed to also set the __GFP_HARDWALL bit, in the previous
cpuset_gfp_hardwall_flag patch.
GFP_ATOMIC and GFP_KERNEL allocations will stay within the current tasks
cpuset, so long as any node therein is not too tight on memory, but will
escape to the larger layer, if need be.
The intended use is to allow something like a batch manager to handle several
jobs, each job in its own cpuset, but using common kernel memory for caches
and such. Swapper and oom_kill activity is also constrained to Layer (2). A
task in or below one mem_exclusive cpuset should not cause swapping on nodes
in another non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpuset, nor provoke oom_killing of a
task in another such cpuset. Heavy use of kernel memory for i/o caching and
such by one job should not impact the memory available to jobs in other
non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpusets.
This patch enables providing hardwall, inescapable cpusets for memory
allocations of each job, while sharing kernel memory allocations between
several jobs, in an enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset.
Like Dinakar's patch earlier to enable administering sched domains using the
cpu_exclusive flag, this patch also provides a useful meaning to a cpuset flag
that had previously done nothing much useful other than restrict what cpuset
configurations were allowed.

[PATCH] cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api
Elaborate the API for calling cpuset_zone_allowed(), so that users have to
explicitly choose between the two variants:
cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall()
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall()
Until now, whether or not you got the hardwall flavor depended solely on
whether or not you or'd in the __GFP_HARDWALL gfp flag to the gfp_mask
argument.
If you didn't specify __GFP_HARDWALL, you implicitly got the softwall
version.
Unfortunately, this meant that users would end up with the softwall version
without thinking about it. Since only the softwall version might sleep,
this led to bugs with possible sleeping in interrupt context on more than
one occassion.
The hardwall version requires that the current tasks mems_allowed allows
the node of the specified zone (or that you're in interrupt or that
__GFP_THISNODE is set or that you're on a one cpuset system.)
The softwall version, depending on the gfp_mask, might allow a node if it
was allowed in the nearest enclusing cpuset marked mem_exclusive (which
requires taking the cpuset lock 'callback_mutex' to evaluate.)
This patch removes the cpuset_zone_allowed() call, and forces the caller to
explicitly choose between the hardwall and the softwall case.
If the caller wants the gfp_mask to determine this choice, they should (1)
be sure they can sleep or that __GFP_HARDWALL is set, and (2) invoke the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine.
This adds another 100 or 200 bytes to the kernel text space, due to the few
lines of nearly duplicate code at the top of both cpuset_zone_allowed_*
routines. It should save a few instructions executed for the calls that
turned into calls of cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall, thanks to not having to
set (before the call) then check (within the call) the __GFP_HARDWALL flag.
For the most critical call, from get_page_from_freelist(), the same
instructions are executed as before -- the old cpuset_zone_allowed()
routine it used to call is the same code as the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine that it calls now.
Not a perfect win, but seems worth it, to reduce this chance of hitting a
sleeping with irq off complaint again.

[PATCH] cpusets: formalize intermediate GFP_KERNEL containment
This patch makes use of the previously underutilized cpuset flag
'mem_exclusive' to provide what amounts to another layer of memory placement
resolution. With this patch, there are now the following four layers of
memory placement available:
1) The whole system (interrupt and GFP_ATOMIC allocations can use this),
2) The nearest enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset (GFP_KERNEL allocations can use),
3) The current tasks cpuset (GFP_USER allocations constrained to here), and
4) Specific node placement, using mbind and set_mempolicy.
These nest - each layer is a subset (same or within) of the previous.
Layer (2) above is new, with this patch. The call used to check whether a
zone (its node, actually) is in a cpuset (in its mems_allowed, actually) is
extended to take a gfp_mask argument, and its logic is extended, in the case
that __GFP_HARDWALL is not set in the flag bits, to look up the cpuset
hierarchy for the nearest enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset, to determine if
placement is allowed. The definition of GFP_USER, which used to be identical
to GFP_KERNEL, is changed to also set the __GFP_HARDWALL bit, in the previous
cpuset_gfp_hardwall_flag patch.
GFP_ATOMIC and GFP_KERNEL allocations will stay within the current tasks
cpuset, so long as any node therein is not too tight on memory, but will
escape to the larger layer, if need be.
The intended use is to allow something like a batch manager to handle several
jobs, each job in its own cpuset, but using common kernel memory for caches
and such. Swapper and oom_kill activity is also constrained to Layer (2). A
task in or below one mem_exclusive cpuset should not cause swapping on nodes
in another non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpuset, nor provoke oom_killing of a
task in another such cpuset. Heavy use of kernel memory for i/o caching and
such by one job should not impact the memory available to jobs in other
non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpusets.
This patch enables providing hardwall, inescapable cpusets for memory
allocations of each job, while sharing kernel memory allocations between
several jobs, in an enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset.
Like Dinakar's patch earlier to enable administering sched domains using the
cpu_exclusive flag, this patch also provides a useful meaning to a cpuset flag
that had previously done nothing much useful other than restrict what cpuset
configurations were allowed.

[PATCH] cpusets: dual semaphore locking overhaul
Overhaul cpuset locking. Replace single semaphore with two semaphores.
The suggestion to use two locks was made by Roman Zippel.
Both locks are global. Code that wants to modify cpusets must first
acquire the exclusive manage_sem, which allows them read-only access to
cpusets, and holds off other would-be modifiers. Before making actual
changes, the second semaphore, callback_sem must be acquired as well. Code
that needs only to query cpusets must acquire callback_sem, which is also a
global exclusive lock.
The earlier problems with double tripping are avoided, because it is
allowed for holders of manage_sem to nest the second callback_sem lock, and
only callback_sem is needed by code called from within __alloc_pages(),
where the double tripping had been possible.
This is not quite the same as a normal read/write semaphore, because
obtaining read-only access with intent to change must hold off other such
attempts, while allowing read-only access w/o such intention. Changing
cpusets involves several related checks and changes, which must be done
while allowing read-only queries (to avoid the double trip), but while
ensuring nothing changes (holding off other would be modifiers.)
This overhaul of cpuset locking also makes careful use of task_lock() to
guard access to the task->cpuset pointer, closing a couple of race
conditions noticed while reading this code (thanks, Roman). I've never
seen these races fail in any use or test.
See further the comments in the code.

[PATCH] cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api
Elaborate the API for calling cpuset_zone_allowed(), so that users have to
explicitly choose between the two variants:
cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall()
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall()
Until now, whether or not you got the hardwall flavor depended solely on
whether or not you or'd in the __GFP_HARDWALL gfp flag to the gfp_mask
argument.
If you didn't specify __GFP_HARDWALL, you implicitly got the softwall
version.
Unfortunately, this meant that users would end up with the softwall version
without thinking about it. Since only the softwall version might sleep,
this led to bugs with possible sleeping in interrupt context on more than
one occassion.
The hardwall version requires that the current tasks mems_allowed allows
the node of the specified zone (or that you're in interrupt or that
__GFP_THISNODE is set or that you're on a one cpuset system.)
The softwall version, depending on the gfp_mask, might allow a node if it
was allowed in the nearest enclusing cpuset marked mem_exclusive (which
requires taking the cpuset lock 'callback_mutex' to evaluate.)
This patch removes the cpuset_zone_allowed() call, and forces the caller to
explicitly choose between the hardwall and the softwall case.
If the caller wants the gfp_mask to determine this choice, they should (1)
be sure they can sleep or that __GFP_HARDWALL is set, and (2) invoke the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine.
This adds another 100 or 200 bytes to the kernel text space, due to the few
lines of nearly duplicate code at the top of both cpuset_zone_allowed_*
routines. It should save a few instructions executed for the calls that
turned into calls of cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall, thanks to not having to
set (before the call) then check (within the call) the __GFP_HARDWALL flag.
For the most critical call, from get_page_from_freelist(), the same
instructions are executed as before -- the old cpuset_zone_allowed()
routine it used to call is the same code as the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine that it calls now.
Not a perfect win, but seems worth it, to reduce this chance of hitting a
sleeping with irq off complaint again.

[PATCH] cpuset memory spread basic implementation
This patch provides the implementation and cpuset interface for an alternative
memory allocation policy that can be applied to certain kinds of memory
allocations, such as the page cache (file system buffers) and some slab caches
(such as inode caches).
The policy is called "memory spreading." If enabled, it spreads out these
kinds of memory allocations over all the nodes allowed to a task, instead of
preferring to place them on the node where the task is executing.
All other kinds of allocations, including anonymous pages for a tasks stack
and data regions, are not affected by this policy choice, and continue to be
allocated preferring the node local to execution, as modified by the NUMA
mempolicy.
There are two boolean flag files per cpuset that control where the kernel
allocates pages for the file system buffers and related in kernel data
structures. They are called 'memory_spread_page' and 'memory_spread_slab'.
If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_page' is set, then the
kernel will spread the file system buffers (page cache) evenly over all the
nodes that the faulting task is allowed to use, instead of preferring to put
those pages on the node where the task is running.
If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_slab' is set, then the
kernel will spread some file system related slab caches, such as for inodes
and dentries evenly over all the nodes that the faulting task is allowed to
use, instead of preferring to put those pages on the node where the task is
running.
The implementation is simple. Setting the cpuset flags 'memory_spread_page'
or 'memory_spread_cache' turns on the per-process flags PF_SPREAD_PAGE or
PF_SPREAD_SLAB, respectively, for each task that is in the cpuset or
subsequently joins that cpuset. In subsequent patches, the page allocation
calls for the affected page cache and slab caches are modified to perform an
inline check for these flags, and if set, a call to a new routine
cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns the node to prefer for the allocation.
The cpuset_mem_spread_node() routine is also simple. It uses the value of a
per-task rotor cpuset_mem_spread_rotor to select the next node in the current
tasks mems_allowed to prefer for the allocation.
This policy can provide substantial improvements for jobs that need to place
thread local data on the corresponding node, but that need to access large
file system data sets that need to be spread across the several nodes in the
jobs cpuset in order to fit. Without this patch, especially for jobs that
might have one thread reading in the data set, the memory allocation across
the nodes in the jobs cpuset can become very uneven.
A couple of Copyright year ranges are updated as well. And a couple of email
addresses that can be found in the MAINTAINERS file are removed.

[PATCH] cpuset: memory pressure meter
Provide a simple per-cpuset metric of memory pressure, tracking the -rate-
that the tasks in a cpuset call try_to_free_pages(), the synchronous
(direct) memory reclaim code.
This enables batch managers monitoring jobs running in dedicated cpusets to
efficiently detect what level of memory pressure that job is causing.
This is useful both on tightly managed systems running a wide mix of
submitted jobs, which may choose to terminate or reprioritize jobs that are
trying to use more memory than allowed on the nodes assigned them, and with
tightly coupled, long running, massively parallel scientific computing jobs
that will dramatically fail to meet required performance goals if they
start to use more memory than allowed to them.
This patch just provides a very economical way for the batch manager to
monitor a cpuset for signs of memory pressure. It's up to the batch
manager or other user code to decide what to do about it and take action.
==> Unless this feature is enabled by writing "1" to the special file
/dev/cpuset/memory_pressure_enabled, the hook in the rebalance
code of __alloc_pages() for this metric reduces to simply noticing
that the cpuset_memory_pressure_enabled flag is zero. So only
systems that enable this feature will compute the metric.
Why a per-cpuset, running average:
Because this meter is per-cpuset, rather than per-task or mm, the
system load imposed by a batch scheduler monitoring this metric is
sharply reduced on large systems, because a scan of the tasklist can be
avoided on each set of queries.
Because this meter is a running average, instead of an accumulating
counter, a batch scheduler can detect memory pressure with a single
read, instead of having to read and accumulate results for a period of
time.
Because this meter is per-cpuset rather than per-task or mm, the
batch scheduler can obtain the key information, memory pressure in a
cpuset, with a single read, rather than having to query and accumulate
results over all the (dynamically changing) set of tasks in the cpuset.
A per-cpuset simple digital filter (requires a spinlock and 3 words of data
per-cpuset) is kept, and updated by any task attached to that cpuset, if it
enters the synchronous (direct) page reclaim code.
A per-cpuset file provides an integer number representing the recent
(half-life of 10 seconds) rate of direct page reclaims caused by the tasks
in the cpuset, in units of reclaims attempted per second, times 1000.

[PATCH] cpusets: dual semaphore locking overhaul
Overhaul cpuset locking. Replace single semaphore with two semaphores.
The suggestion to use two locks was made by Roman Zippel.
Both locks are global. Code that wants to modify cpusets must first
acquire the exclusive manage_sem, which allows them read-only access to
cpusets, and holds off other would-be modifiers. Before making actual
changes, the second semaphore, callback_sem must be acquired as well. Code
that needs only to query cpusets must acquire callback_sem, which is also a
global exclusive lock.
The earlier problems with double tripping are avoided, because it is
allowed for holders of manage_sem to nest the second callback_sem lock, and
only callback_sem is needed by code called from within __alloc_pages(),
where the double tripping had been possible.
This is not quite the same as a normal read/write semaphore, because
obtaining read-only access with intent to change must hold off other such
attempts, while allowing read-only access w/o such intention. Changing
cpusets involves several related checks and changes, which must be done
while allowing read-only queries (to avoid the double trip), but while
ensuring nothing changes (holding off other would be modifiers.)
This overhaul of cpuset locking also makes careful use of task_lock() to
guard access to the task->cpuset pointer, closing a couple of race
conditions noticed while reading this code (thanks, Roman). I've never
seen these races fail in any use or test.
See further the comments in the code.

hotplug cpu: move tasks in empty cpusets to parent various other fixes
Various minor formatting and comment tweaks to Cliff Wickman's
[PATCH_3_of_3]_cpusets__update_cpumask_revision.patch
I had had "iff", meaning "if and only if" in a comment. However, except for
ancient mathematicians, the abbreviation "iff" was a tad too cryptic. Cliff
changed it to "if", presumably figuring that the "iff" was a typo. However,
it was the "only if" half of the conjunction that was most interesting.
Reword to emphasis the "only if" aspect.
The locking comment for remove_tasks_in_empty_cpuset() was wrong; it said
callback_mutex had to be held on entry. The opposite is true.
Several mentions of attach_task() in comments needed to be
changed to cgroup_attach_task().
A comment about notify_on_release was no longer relevant,
as the line of code it had commented, namely:
set_bit(CS_RELEASED_RESOURCE, &parent->flags);
is no longer present in that place in the cpuset.c code.
Similarly a comment about notify_on_release before the
scan_for_empty_cpusets() routine was no longer relevant.
Removed extra parentheses and unnecessary return statement.
Renamed attach_task() to cpuset_attach() in various comments.
Removed comment about not needing memory migration, as it seems the migration
is done anyway, via the cpuset_attach() callback from cgroup_attach_task().
