RE: [PATCH v11 00/26] Speculative page faults

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

 



Hi Laurent,

I am sorry for replying you so late. 
The previous LKP test for this case are running on the same Intel skylake 4s platform, but it need maintain recently. 
So I changed to another test box to run the page_fault3 test case, it is Intel skylake 2s platform (nr_cpu: 104, memory: 64G).

I applied your patch to the SPF kernel (commit : a7a8993bfe3ccb54ad468b9f1799649e4ad1ff12), then triggered below 2 cases test.
a)  Turn on the SPF handler by below command, then run page_fault3-thp-always test.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/speculative_page_fault

b) Turn off the SPF handler by below command, then run page_fault3-thp-always test.
 echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/speculative_page_fault

Every test run 3 times, and then get test result and capture perf data. 
Here is average result for will-it-scale.per_thread_ops:                                                         
                                                                                          SPF_turn_off       SPF_turn_on
page_fault3-THP-Alwasys.will-it-scale.per_thread_ops    31963                  26285

Best regards,
Haiyan Song

These would mean that the system spends lees time running handle_mm_fault()
when SPF is in the picture in this 2 cases which is good. This should lead to
better results with the SPF series, and I can't find any values higher on the
head side.

I took a close look to all the perf result you sent, but I can't identify any
major difference. But the compiler optimization is getting rid of the
handle_pte_fault() symbol on the base kernel which add complexity to check the
differences.

To get rid of that, I'm proposing that you applied the attached patch to the
spf kernel. This patch is allowing to turn on/off the SPF handler through
/proc/sys/vm/speculative_page_fault.

This should ease the testing by limiting the reboot and avoid kernel's symbols
mismatch. Obviously there is still a small overhead due to the check but it
should not be viewable.

With this patch applied you can simply run
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/speculative_page_fault
to run a test with the speculative page fault handler activated. Or run
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/speculative_page_fault
to run a test without it.

I'm really sorry to asking that again, but could please run the test
page_fault3_base_THP-Always with and without SPF and capture the perf output.

I think we should focus on that test which showed the biggest regression.

Thanks,
Laurent.

>>>>>>>> Subject: [PATCH v11 00/26] Speculative page faults
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> This is a port on kernel 4.17 of the work done by Peter Zijlstra to handle
>>>>>>>> page fault without holding the mm semaphore [1].
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> The idea is to try to handle user space page faults without holding the
>>>>>>>> mmap_sem. This should allow better concurrency for massively threaded
>>>>>>>> process since the page fault handler will not wait for other threads memory
>>>>>>>> layout change to be done, assuming that this change is done in another part
>>>>>>>> of the process's memory space. This type page fault is named speculative
>>>>>>>> page fault. If the speculative page fault fails because of a concurrency is
>>>>>>>> detected or because underlying PMD or PTE tables are not yet allocating, it
>>>>>>>> is failing its processing and a classic page fault is then tried.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> The speculative page fault (SPF) has to look for the VMA matching the fault
>>>>>>>> address without holding the mmap_sem, this is done by introducing a rwlock
>>>>>>>> which protects the access to the mm_rb tree. Previously this was done using
>>>>>>>> SRCU but it was introducing a lot of scheduling to process the VMA's
>>>>>>>> freeing operation which was hitting the performance by 20% as reported by
>>>>>>>> Kemi Wang [2]. Using a rwlock to protect access to the mm_rb tree is
>>>>>>>> limiting the locking contention to these operations which are expected to
>>>>>>>> be in a O(log n) order. In addition to ensure that the VMA is not freed in
>>>>>>>> our back a reference count is added and 2 services (get_vma() and
>>>>>>>> put_vma()) are introduced to handle the reference count. Once a VMA is
>>>>>>>> fetched from the RB tree using get_vma(), it must be later freed using
>>>>>>>> put_vma(). I can't see anymore the overhead I got while will-it-scale
>>>>>>>> benchmark anymore.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> The VMA's attributes checked during the speculative page fault processing
>>>>>>>> have to be protected against parallel changes. This is done by using a per
>>>>>>>> VMA sequence lock. This sequence lock allows the speculative page fault
>>>>>>>> handler to fast check for parallel changes in progress and to abort the
>>>>>>>> speculative page fault in that case.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> Once the VMA has been found, the speculative page fault handler would check
>>>>>>>> for the VMA's attributes to verify that the page fault has to be handled
>>>>>>>> correctly or not. Thus, the VMA is protected through a sequence lock which
>>>>>>>> allows fast detection of concurrent VMA changes. If such a change is
>>>>>>>> detected, the speculative page fault is aborted and a *classic* page fault
>>>>>>>> is tried.  VMA sequence lockings are added when VMA attributes which are
>>>>>>>> checked during the page fault are modified.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> When the PTE is fetched, the VMA is checked to see if it has been changed,
>>>>>>>> so once the page table is locked, the VMA is valid, so any other changes
>>>>>>>> leading to touching this PTE will need to lock the page table, so no
>>>>>>>> parallel change is possible at this time.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> The locking of the PTE is done with interrupts disabled, this allows
>>>>>>>> checking for the PMD to ensure that there is not an ongoing collapsing
>>>>>>>> operation. Since khugepaged is firstly set the PMD to pmd_none and then is
>>>>>>>> waiting for the other CPU to have caught the IPI interrupt, if the pmd is
>>>>>>>> valid at the time the PTE is locked, we have the guarantee that the
>>>>>>>> collapsing operation will have to wait on the PTE lock to move forward.
>>>>>>>> This allows the SPF handler to map the PTE safely. If the PMD value is
>>>>>>>> different from the one recorded at the beginning of the SPF operation, the
>>>>>>>> classic page fault handler will be called to handle the operation while
>>>>>>>> holding the mmap_sem. As the PTE lock is done with the interrupts disabled,
>>>>>>>> the lock is done using spin_trylock() to avoid dead lock when handling a
>>>>>>>> page fault while a TLB invalidate is requested by another CPU holding the
>>>>>>>> PTE.
>>>>>>>>
