[ Upstream commit 0efc297a3c4974dbd609ee36fc6345720b6ca735 ]
cgroup_rstat_flush_locked() grabs the irq safe cgroup_rstat_lock while iterating all possible cpus. It only drops the lock if there is scheduler or spin lock contention. If neither, then interrupts can be disabled for a long time. On large machines this can disable interrupts for a long enough time to drop network packets. On 400+ CPU machines I've seen interrupt disabled for over 40 msec.
Prevent rstat from disabling interrupts while processing all possible cpus. Instead drop and reacquire cgroup_rstat_lock for each cpu. This approach was previously discussed in https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ZBz%2FV5a7%2F6PZeM7S@slm.duckdns.org/, though this was in the context of an non-irq rstat spin lock.
Benchmark this change with: 1) a single stat_reader process with 400 threads, each reading a test memcg's memory.stat repeatedly for 10 seconds. 2) 400 memory hog processes running in the test memcg and repeatedly charging memory until oom killed. Then they repeat charging and oom killing.
v6.14-rc6 with CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER with stat_reader and hogs, finds interrupts are disabled by rstat for 45341 usec: # => started at: _raw_spin_lock_irq # => ended at: cgroup_rstat_flush # # # _------=> CPU# # / _-----=> irqs-off/BH-disabled # | / _----=> need-resched # || / _---=> hardirq/softirq # ||| / _--=> preempt-depth # |||| / _-=> migrate-disable # ||||| / delay # cmd pid |||||| time | caller # \ / |||||| \ | / stat_rea-96532 52d.... 0us*: _raw_spin_lock_irq stat_rea-96532 52d.... 45342us : cgroup_rstat_flush stat_rea-96532 52d.... 45342us : tracer_hardirqs_on <-cgroup_rstat_flush stat_rea-96532 52d.... 45343us : <stack trace> => memcg1_stat_format => memory_stat_format => memory_stat_show => seq_read_iter => vfs_read => ksys_read => do_syscall_64 => entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
With this patch the CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER doesn't find rstat to be the longest holder. The longest irqs-off holder has irqs disabled for 4142 usec, a huge reduction from previous 45341 usec rstat finding.
Running stat_reader memory.stat reader for 10 seconds: - without memory hogs: 9.84M accesses => 12.7M accesses - with memory hogs: 9.46M accesses => 11.1M accesses The throughput of memory.stat access improves.
The mode of memory.stat access latency after grouping by of 2 buckets: - without memory hogs: 64 usec => 16 usec - with memory hogs: 64 usec => 8 usec The memory.stat latency improves.
