[PATCH v2 0/5] mm, oom: Introduce per numa node oom for CONSTRAINT_{MEMORY_POLICY,CPUSET}

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



TLDR
----
If a mempolicy or cpuset is in effect, out_of_memory() will select victim
on specific node to kill. So that kernel can avoid accidental killing on
NUMA system.

Problem
-------
Before this patch series, oom will only kill the process with the highest 
memory usage by selecting process with the highest oom_badness on the
entire system.

This works fine on UMA system, but may have some accidental killing on NUMA
system.

As shown below, if process c.out is bind to Node1 and keep allocating pages
from Node1, a.out will be killed first. But killing a.out did't free any
mem on Node1, so c.out will be killed then.

A lot of AMD machines have 8 numa nodes. In these systems, there is a
greater chance of triggering this problem.

OOM before patches:
```
Per-node process memory usage (in MBs)
PID             Node 0        Node 1    Total
----------- ---------- ------------- --------
3095 a.out     3073.34          0.11  3073.45(Killed first. Max mem usage)
3199 b.out      501.35       1500.00  2001.35
3805 c.out        1.52 (grow)2248.00  2249.52(Killed then. Node1 is full)
----------- ---------- ------------- --------
Total          3576.21       3748.11  7324.31
```

Solution
--------
We store per node rss in mm_rss_stat for each process.

If a page allocation with mempolicy or cpuset in effect triger oom. We will
calculate oom_badness with rss counter for the corresponding node. Then
select the process with the highest oom_badness on the corresponding node
to kill.

OOM after patches:
```
Per-node process memory usage (in MBs)
PID             Node 0        Node 1     Total
----------- ---------- ------------- ----------
3095 a.out     3073.34          0.11    3073.45
3199 b.out      501.35       1500.00    2001.35
3805 c.out        1.52 (grow)2248.00    2249.52(killed)
----------- ---------- ------------- ----------
Total          3576.21       3748.11    7324.31
```

Overhead
--------
CPU:

According to the result of Unixbench. There is less than one percent
performance loss in most cases.

On 40c512g machine.

MEM:

per task_struct:
sizeof(int) * num_possible_nodes() + sizeof(int*)
typically 4 * 2 + 8 bytes

per mm_struct:
sizeof(atomic_long_t) * num_possible_nodes() + sizeof(atomic_long_t*)
typically 8 * 2 + 8 bytes

zap_pte_range:
sizeof(int) * num_possible_nodes() + sizeof(int*)
typically 4 * 2 + 8 bytes 

Changelog
----------
v2:
  - enable per numa node oom for `CONSTRAINT_CPUSET`.
  - add benchmark result in cover letter.

Gang Li (5):
  mm: add a new parameter `node` to `get/add/inc/dec_mm_counter`
  mm: add numa_count field for rss_stat
  mm: add numa fields for tracepoint rss_stat
  mm: enable per numa node rss_stat count
  mm, oom: enable per numa node oom for
    CONSTRAINT_{MEMORY_POLICY,CPUSET}
