[PATCH v2 5/6] mm/list_lru: split the lock to per-cgroup scope

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

 



From: Kairui Song <kasong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, every list_lru has a per-node lock that protects adding,
deletion, isolation, and reparenting of all list_lru_one instances
belonging to this list_lru on this node. This lock contention is
heavy when multiple cgroups modify the same list_lru.

This lock can be split into per-cgroup scope to reduce contention.

To achieve this, we need a stable list_lru_one for every cgroup.
This commit adds a lock to each list_lru_one and introduced a
helper function lock_list_lru_of_memcg, making it possible to pin
the list_lru of a memcg. Then reworked the reparenting process.

Reparenting will switch the list_lru_one instances one by one.
By locking each instance and marking it dead using the nr_items
counter, reparenting ensures that all items in the corresponding
cgroup (on-list or not, because items have a stable cgroup, see below)
will see the list_lru_one switch synchronously.

Objcg reparent is also moved after list_lru reparent so items will have
a stable mem cgroup until all list_lru_one instances are drained.

The only caller that doesn't work the *_obj interfaces are direct
calls to list_lru_{add,del}. But it's only used by zswap and
that's also based on objcg, so it's fine.

This also changes the bahaviour of the isolation function when
LRU_RETRY or LRU_REMOVED_RETRY is returned, because now releasing the
lock could unblock reparenting and free the list_lru_one, isolation
function will have to return withoug re-lock the lru.

prepare() {
    mkdir /tmp/test-fs
    modprobe brd rd_nr=1 rd_size=33554432
    mkfs.xfs -f /dev/ram0
    mount -t xfs /dev/ram0 /tmp/test-fs
    for i in $(seq 1 512); do
        mkdir "/tmp/test-fs/$i"
        for j in $(seq 1 10240); do
            echo TEST-CONTENT > "/tmp/test-fs/$i/$j"
        done &
    done; wait
}

do_test() {
    read_worker() {
        sleep 1
        tar -cv "$1" &>/dev/null
    }
    read_in_all() {
        cd "/tmp/test-fs" && ls
        for i in $(seq 1 512); do
            (exec sh -c 'echo "$PPID"') > "/sys/fs/cgroup/benchmark/$i/cgroup.procs"
            read_worker "$i" &
        done; wait
    }
    for i in $(seq 1 512); do
        mkdir -p "/sys/fs/cgroup/benchmark/$i"
    done
    echo +memory > /sys/fs/cgroup/benchmark/cgroup.subtree_control
    echo 512M > /sys/fs/cgroup/benchmark/memory.max
    echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
    time read_in_all
}

Above script simulates compression of small files in multiple cgroups
with memory pressure. Run prepare() then do_test for 6 times:

Before:
real      0m7.762s user      0m11.340s sys       3m11.224s
