[PATCH 1/5] mm: memcg softlimit reclaim rework

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

 



This patch reverts all the existing softlimit reclaim implementations and
instead integrates the softlimit reclaim into existing global reclaim logic.

The new softlimit reclaim includes the following changes:

1. add function should_reclaim_mem_cgroup()

Add the filter function should_reclaim_mem_cgroup() under the common function
shrink_zone(). The later one is being called both from per-memcg reclaim as
well as global reclaim.

Today the softlimit takes effect only under global memory pressure. The memcgs
get free run above their softlimit until there is a global memory contention.
This patch doesn't change the semantics.

Under the global reclaim, we try to skip reclaiming from a memcg under its
softlimit. To prevent reclaim from trying too hard on hitting memcgs
(above softlimit) w/ only hard-to-reclaim pages, the reclaim priority is used
to skip the softlimit check. This is a trade-off of system performance and
resource isolation.

2. "hierarchical" softlimit reclaim

This is consistant to how softlimit was previously implemented, where the
pressure is put for the whole hiearchy as long as the "root" of the hierarchy
over its softlimit.

This part is not in my previous posts, and is quite different from my
understanding of softlimit reclaim. After quite a lot of discussions with
Johannes and Michal, i decided to go with it for now. And this is designed
to work with both trusted setups and untrusted setups.

What's the trusted and untrusted setups ?

case 1 : Administrator is the only one setting up the limits and also he
expects gurantees of memory under each cgroup's softlimit:

Considering the following:

root (soft: unlimited, use_hierarchy = 1)
  -- A (soft: unlimited, usage 22G)
      -- A1 (soft: 10G, usage 17G)
      -- A2 (soft: 6G, usage 5G)
  -- B (soft: 16G, usage 10G)

So we have A1 above its softlimit and none of its ancestor does, then
global reclaim will only pick A1 to reclaim first.

case 2: Untrusted enviroment where cgroups changes its softlimit or
adminstrator could make mistakes. In that case, we still want to attack the
mis-configured child if its parent is above softlimit.

Considering the following:

root (soft: unlimited, use_hierarchy = 1)
  -- A (soft: 16G, usage 22G)
      -- A1 (soft: 10G, usage 17G)
      -- A2 (soft: 1000G, usage 5G)
  -- B (soft: 16G, usage 10G)

Here A2 would set its softlimit way higher than its parent, but the current
logic makes sure to still attack it when A exceeds its softlimit.
