Hi,
this patches solves the problem with slow shrink_slab() occuring
on the machines having many shrinkers and memory cgroups (i.e.,
with many containers). The problem is complexity of shrink_slab()
is O(n^2) and it grows too fast with the growth of containers
numbers.
Let we have 200 containers, and every container has 10 mounts
and 10 cgroups. All container tasks are isolated, and they don't
touch foreign containers mounts.
In case of global reclaim, a task has to iterate all over the memcgs
and to call all the memcg-aware shrinkers for all of them. This means,
the task has to visit 200 * 10 = 2000 shrinkers for every memcg,
and since there are 2000 memcgs, the total calls of do_shrink_slab()
are 2000 * 2000 = 4000000.
4 million calls are not a number operations, which can takes 1 cpu cycle.
E.g., super_cache_count() accesses at least two lists, and makes arifmetical
calculations. Even, if there are no charged objects, we do these calculations,
and replaces cpu caches by read memory. I observed nodes spending almost 100%
time in kernel, in case of intensive writing and global reclaim. The writer
consumes pages fast, but it's need to shrink_slab() before the reclaimer
reached shrink pages function (and frees SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages). Even if
there is no writing, the iterations just waste the time, and slows reclaim down.
Let's see the small test below:
$echo 1 > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.use_hierarchy
$mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct
$echo 4000M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes
$for i in `seq 0 4000`;
do mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/$i;
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/$i/cgroup.procs;
mkdir -p s/$i; mount -t tmpfs $i s/$i; touch s/$i/file;
done
Then, let's see drop caches time (5 sequential calls):
$time echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
0.00user 13.78system 0:13.78elapsed 99%CPU
0.00user 5.59system 0:05.60elapsed 99%CPU
0.00user 5.48system 0:05.48elapsed 99%CPU
0.00user 8.35system 0:08.35elapsed 99%CPU
0.00user 8.34system 0:08.35elapsed 99%CPU
Last four calls don't actually shrink something. So, the iterations
over slab shrinkers take 5.48 seconds. Not so good for scalability.
The patchset solves the problem by making shrink_slab() of O(n)
complexity. There are following functional actions:
1)Assign id to every registered memcg-aware shrinker.
2)Maintain per-memcgroup bitmap of memcg-aware shrinkers,
and set a shrinker-related bit after the first element
is added to lru list (also, when removed child memcg
elements are reparanted).
3)Split memcg-aware shrinkers and !memcg-aware shrinkers,
and call a shrinker if its bit is set in memcg's shrinker
bitmap.
(Also, there is a functionality to clear the bit, after
last element is shrinked).
This gives signify performance increase. The result after patchset is applied:
$time echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
0.00user 1.10system 0:01.10elapsed 99%CPU
0.00user 0.00system 0:00.01elapsed 64%CPU
0.00user 0.01system 0:00.01elapsed 82%CPU
0.00user 0.00system 0:00.01elapsed 64%CPU
0.00user 0.01system 0:00.01elapsed 82%CPU
The results show the performance increases at least in 548 times.
So, the patchset makes shrink_slab() of less complexity and improves
the performance in such types of load I pointed. This will give a profit
in case of !global reclaim case, since there also will be less
do_shrink_slab() calls.
This patchset is made against linux-next.git tree.
v7: Refactorings and readability improvements.
v6: Added missed rcu_dereference() to memcg_set_shrinker_bit().
Use different functions for allocation and expanding map.
Use new memcg_shrinker_map_size variable in memcontrol.c.
Refactorings.
v5: Make the optimizing logic under CONFIG_MEMCG_SHRINKER instead of MEMCG && !SLOB
v4: Do not use memcg mem_cgroup_idr for iteration over mem cgroups
v3: Many changes requested in commentaries to v2:
1)rebase on prealloc_shrinker() code base
2)root_mem_cgroup is made out of memcg maps
3)rwsem replaced with shrinkers_nr_max_mutex
4)changes around assignment of shrinker id to list lru
5)everything renamed
v2: Many changes requested in commentaries to v1:
1)the code mostly moved to mm/memcontrol.c;
2)using IDR instead of array of shrinkers;
3)added a possibility to assign list_lru shrinker id
at the time of shrinker registering;
4)reorginized locking and renamed functions and variables.

Imagine a big node with many cpus, memory cgroups and containers.
Let we have 200 containers, every container has 10 mounts,
and 10 cgroups. All container tasks don't touch foreign
containers mounts. If there is intensive pages write,
and global reclaim happens, a writing task has to iterate
over all memcgs to shrink slab, before it's able to go
to shrink_page_list().
Iteration over all the memcg slabs is very expensive:
the task has to visit 200 * 10 = 2000 shrinkers
for every memcg, and since there are 2000 memcgs,
the total calls are 2000 * 2000 = 4000000.
So, the shrinker makes 4 million do_shrink_slab() calls
just to try to isolate SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages in one
of the actively writing memcg via shrink_page_list().
I've observed a node spending almost 100% in kernel,
making useless iteration over already shrinked slab.
This patch adds bitmap of memcg-aware shrinkers to memcg.
The size of the bitmap depends on bitmap_nr_ids, and during
memcg life it's maintained to be enough to fit bitmap_nr_ids
shrinkers. Every bit in the map is related to corresponding
shrinker id.
Next patches will maintain set bit only for really charged
memcg. This will allow shrink_slab() to increase its
performance in significant way. See the last patch for
the numbers.

Do two list_lru_init_memcg() calls after prealloc_super().
destroy_unused_super() in fail path is OK with this.

Using the preparations made in previous patches, in case of memcg
shrink, we may avoid shrinkers, which are not set in memcg's shrinkers
bitmap. To do that, we separate iterations over memcg-aware and
!memcg-aware shrinkers, and memcg-aware shrinkers are chosen
via for_each_set_bit() from the bitmap. In case of big nodes,
having many isolated environments, this gives significant
performance growth. See next patches for the details.
Note, that the patch does not respect to empty memcg shrinkers,
since we never clear the bitmap bits after we set it once.
Their shrinkers will be called again, with no shrinked objects
as result. This functionality is provided by next patches.

The patch makes shrink_slab() be called for root_mem_cgroup
in the same way as it's called for the rest of cgroups.
This simplifies the logic and improves the readability.

We need to differ the situations, when shrinker has
very small amount of objects (see vfs_pressure_ratio()
called from super_cache_count()), and when it has no
objects at all. Currently, in the both of these cases,
shrinker::count_objects() returns 0.
The patch introduces new SHRINK_EMPTY return value,
which will be used for "no objects at all" case.
It's is a refactoring mostly, as SHRINK_EMPTY is replaced
by 0 by all callers of do_shrink_slab() in this patch,
and all the magic will happen in further.

To avoid further unneed calls of do_shrink_slab()
for shrinkers, which already do not have any charged
objects in a memcg, their bits have to be cleared.
This patch introduces a lockless mechanism to do that
without races without parallel list lru add. After
do_shrink_slab() returns SHRINK_EMPTY the first time,
we clear the bit and call it once again. Then we restore
the bit, if the new return value is different.
Note, that single smp_mb__after_atomic() in shrink_slab_memcg()
covers two situations:
1)list_lru_add() shrink_slab_memcg
list_add_tail() for_each_set_bit() <--- read bit
do_shrink_slab() <--- missed list update (no barrier)
<MB> <MB>
set_bit() do_shrink_slab() <--- seen list update
This situation, when the first do_shrink_slab() sees set bit,
but it doesn't see list update (i.e., race with the first element
queueing), is rare. So we don't add <MB> before the first call
of do_shrink_slab() instead of this to do not slow down generic
case. Also, it's need the second call as seen in below in (2).
2)list_lru_add() shrink_slab_memcg()
list_add_tail() ...
set_bit() ...
... for_each_set_bit()
do_shrink_slab() do_shrink_slab()
clear_bit() ...
... ...
list_lru_add() ...
list_add_tail() clear_bit()
<MB> <MB>
set_bit() do_shrink_slab()
The barriers guarantees, the second do_shrink_slab()
in the right side task sees list update if really
cleared the bit. This case is drawn in the code comment.
[Results/performance of the patchset]
After the whole patchset applied the below test shows signify
increase of performance:
$echo 1 > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.use_hierarchy
$mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct
$echo 4000M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes
$for i in `seq 0 4000`; do mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/$i;
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/$i/cgroup.procs;
mkdir -p s/$i; mount -t tmpfs $i s/$i;
touch s/$i/file; done
Then, 5 sequential calls of drop caches:
$time echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
1)Before:
0.00user 13.78system 0:13.78elapsed 99%CPU

The results show the performance increases at least in 548 times.

This will be used to set correct bit in memcg shrinkers

the first related to memcg element in list_lru.

The patch introduces shrinker::id number, which is used to enumerate
memcg-aware shrinkers. The number start from 0, and the code tries
to maintain it as small as possible.
This will be used as to represent a memcg-aware shrinkers in memcg
shrinkers map.
Since all memcg-aware shrinkers are based on list_lru, which is per-memcg
in case of !CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM only, the new functionality will be under
this config option.

Hi, Andrew!
This patchset is reviewed by Vladimir Davydov. I see, there is
minor change in current linux-next.git, which makes the second
patch to apply not completely clean.
Could you tell what should I do with this? Is this OK or should
I rebase it on top of linux.next or do something else?
Thanks,
Kirill

A resend against 4.18-rc1 would be ideal, thanks.

Hi Kirill,
I tested this patch series on mmotm tree's
v4.17-rc6-mmotm-2018-05-25-14-52 tag. I did experiment similar to the
one I did for your lockless lru_list patch but on an actual machine.
I created 255 memcgs, 255 ext4 mounts and made each memcg create a
file containing few KiBs on corresponding mount. Then in a separate
memcg of 200 MiB limit ran a fork-bomb.
I ran the "perf record -ag -- sleep 60" and below are the results:
Without the patch series:
Samples: 4M of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 3279403076005
+ 36.40% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] shrink_slab
+ 18.97% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] list_lru_count_one
+ 6.75% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] super_cache_count
+ 0.49% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] down_read_trylock
+ 0.44% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mem_cgroup_iter
+ 0.27% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] up_read
+ 0.21% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] osq_lock
+ 0.13% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] shmem_unused_huge_count
+ 0.08% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] shrink_node_memcg
+ 0.08% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] shrink_node
With the patch series:
Samples: 4M of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 2756866824946
+ 47.49% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] down_read_trylock
+ 30.72% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] up_read
+ 9.51% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mem_cgroup_iter
+ 1.69% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] shrink_node_memcg
+ 1.35% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mem_cgroup_protected
+ 1.05% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] queued_spin_lock_slowpath
+ 0.85% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
+ 0.78% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] lruvec_lru_size
+ 0.57% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] shrink_node
+ 0.54% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] queue_work_on
+ 0.46% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] shrink_slab_memcg
Next I did a simple hack by removing shrinker_rwsem lock/unlock from
shrink_slab_memcg (which is functionally not correct but I made sure
there aren't any parallel mounts). I got the following result:
Samples: 5M of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 3473394237366
+ 40.13% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mem_cgroup_protected
+ 17.66% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] shrink_node_memcg
+ 14.78% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mem_cgroup_iter
+ 7.07% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] lruvec_lru_size
+ 3.19% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] shrink_slab_memcg
+ 2.82% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] queued_spin_lock_slowpath
+ 1.96% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] try_charge
+ 1.81% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] shrink_node
+ 0.91% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_counter_try_charge
+ 0.65% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] css_next_descendant_pre
+ 0.62% fb.sh [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cgroup_file_notify
From the result it seems like, in the workload where one job is
thrashing and affecting the whole system, this patch series moves the
load from shrinker list traversal to the shrinker_rwsem lock as there
isn't much to traverse. Since shrink_slab_memcg only takes read lock
on shrinker_rwsem, this seems like cache misses/thrashing for rwsem.
Maybe next direction is to go lockless.
thanks,
Shakeel
Hi, Shakeel,

The interesting results. In the first case we had iterations over long list
of shrinkers placed somewhere in memory. Since there are many allocated
structures (not only shrinkers) on mount(), the most likely case I think
is the most shrinkers do not share the same cache line. These actions
are so bad, that we don't see the trashing from down_read_trylock(),
since it's a small subset of introduced trashing.
After patches are applied, trashing from down_read_trylock() is the only
trashing and it's visible.
There were: down_read_trylock()/mem_cgroup_iter() = 0.49/0.44 ~ 1.1
It became: 47.49/9.51 ~ 5.0.
This looks like shrinker_rwsem is a good candidate to be placed in separate
__cacheline_aligned place (to prevent its impact on neighbours,
e.g. almost read-only shrinker_idr and shrinker_nr_max). This shouldn't
change perf trace (I assume), but this should be good for real workload.

Yeah, this sounds reasonable for me. Maybe we may simply use percpu rwsem
for this (if it also has something like rwsem_is_contended()).
