Subject: [PATCH 0/2] CKRM CPU resource controller

This patchset adds a CPU resource controller for CKRM. The CPU
resource controller manages CPU resources by scaling timeslice
allocated for each task without changing the algorithm of the O(1)
scheduler. A document that describes how the resource controller
works is attached at the end of this mail.

Performance tests showed us that the overhead introduced by this
patchset was negligible small. Here are the summary of performance tests:

How the CPU resource controller works

There are 3 components in the CPU resource controller:

(1) load estimation
(2) hungry detection
(3) timeslice scaling
(3') task requeueing

We need to estimate the class load in order to check whether the
guarantee is satisfied or not. Class load also gets lower than the
guarantee when all the tasks in the class tends to sleep. We need to
check whether the class needs to schedule more or not by hungry
detection. If a class needs to schedule more, timeslices of tasks
are scaled by timeslice scaling. When timeslice scaling can't satisfy
the guarantee, task requeueing supplements timeslice scaling.


1. Load estimation

We calculate the class load as the accumulation of task loads in the
class. We need to calculate the task load first, then calculate the
class load from the task loads.

Task load estimation

Task load is estimated as the ratio of:
* the timeslice value allocated to the task (Ts)
to:
* the time that is taken for the task to run out the allocated timeslice
(Tr).
If a task can use all the CPU time, Ts / Tr becomes 1 for example.

The detailed procedure of the calculation is as follows:
(1) Record the timeslice (Ts) and the time when the timeslice is
allocated to the task (by calling cpu_rc_record_allocation()).
* The timeslice value is recorded to task->last_slice ( = Ts).
* The time is recorded to task->ts_alloced.
(2) Calculate the task load when the timeslice is expired
(by calling cpu_rc_account()).
Tr is calculated as:
Tr = jiffies - task->ts_alloced
Then task load (Ts / Tr) becomes:
Ts / Tr = task->last_slice / (jiffies - task->ts_alloced)

The load value is scaled by CPU_RC_LOAD_SCALE.
If the load value equals to CPU_RC_LOAD_SCALE, it indicates 100%
CPU usage.

task->ts_alloced task scheduled now
v v v
|---------------===========================|

|<------------------------>|
Ts ( = task->last_slice)

|<---------------------------------------->|
Tr ( = now - task->ts_alloced)

|<------------->|
the time that the task isn't scheduled


Note that task load calculation is also needed for strict
accuracy when a task forks or exits, because timeslice is
changed on fork and exit. But we don't do that in order to
simplify the code and in order not to introduce overhead on fork
and exit. Probably we can get enough accurate number without
calculating the task load on fork/exit.

Class load estimation:

Class load is the accumulation of load values of tasks in the class in
the duration of CPU_RC_SPREAD_PERIOD.
Per-CPU class load is recalculated each time the task load is calculated
in the cpu_rc_account() function.
Then on CPU_RC_RECALC_INTERVAL intervals, the class load value per-CPU
value is calculated as the average of the per-CPU class load.

Task load is accumulated to the per-CPU class load as if the class uses
Ts/Tr of the CPU time from task->ts_alloced to now (the time the timeslice
expired).

So the time that the task has used the CPU from (now - CPU_RC_SPREAD_PERIOD)
to now (Ttsk) should be:

if task->ts_alloced < now - CPU_RC_SPREAD_PERIOD:
Ts/Tr * CPU_RC_SPREAD_PERIOD
(We assume that the task has used the CPU at the constant rate of Ts/Tr.)

now-CPU_RC_SPREAD_PERIOD now
v v
|---------------------------------------|
|==================================================| load: Ts/Tr
^
task->ts_alloced

else:
Ts

now-CPU_RC_SPREAD_PERIOD now
v v
|---------------------------------------|
|============================| load: Ts/Tr
^
task->ts_alloced

Also, we assume that the class uses the CPU at the rate of the class load
from (now - CPU_RC_SPREAD_PERIOD) to the last time the per-CPU class load
was calculated (stored in struct cpu_rc::stat[cpu].timestamp). If
cpu_rc::stat[cpu].timestamp < now - CPU_RC_SPREAD_PERIOD, we assume that
the class doesn't use the CPU from (now - CPU_RC_SPREAD_PERIOD) to
task->ts_alloced.

So the time that the class use the CPU from (now - CPU_RC_SPREAD_PERIOD)
to now (Tcls) should be:
if cpu_rc::stat[cpu].timestamp < now - CPU_RC_SPREAD_PERIOD:
0
else:
cpu_rc::stat[cpu].load * (cpu_rc::stat[cpu].timestamp - (now - CPU_RC_SPREAD_PERIOD))

The new per-CPU class load that will be assigned to cpu_rc::stat[cpu].load
is calculated as:
(Ttsk + Tcls) / CPU_RC_SPREAD_PERIOD

2. Hungry detection

When the class load is less than the guarantee, there are 2 cases:
(a) the guarantee is enough and tasks in the class have time for sleep
(b) tasks in other classes overuse the CPU

We should not scale the timeslice in case (a) even if the class load
is lower than the guarantee. In order to distinguish case (b) from
case (a), we measure the time (Tsch) from when a task is activated
(stored in task->last_activated) till when the task is actually
scheduled. If the class load is lower than the guarantee but tasks
in the class are quickly scheduled, it can be classified to case (a).
If Tsch / timeslice of a task is lower than the guarantee, the class
that has the task is marked as "maybe hungry." If the class load of
the class that is marked as "maybe hungry" is lower than the
guarantee, it is treated as hungry and the timeslices of tasks in
other classes will be scaled down.


3. Timeslice scaling

If there are hungry classes, we need to adjust timeslices to satisfy
the guarantee. To scale timeslices, we introduce a scaling factor
used for scaling timeslices. The scaling factor is associated with
the class (stored in the cpu_rc structure) and adaptively adjusted
according to the class load and the guarantee.

If some classes are hungry, the scaling factor of the class that is
not hungry is calculated as follows (note: F is the scaling factor):
F_new = F * guarantee / class_load

And the scaling factor of the hungry class is calculated as:
F_new = F + 1

When all the classes are not hungry, the scaling factor is calculated
as follows in order to recover the timeslices:
F_new = F + CPU_RC_TSFACTOR_INC (CPU_RC_TSFACTOR_INC is defined as 5)

Note that the maximum value of F is limited to CPU_RC_TSFACTOR_MAX.
The timeslice assigned to each task is:
timeslice_scaled = timeslice_orig * F / CPU_RC_TSFACTOR_MAX

where timeslice_orig is the value that is calculated by the conventional
O(1) scheduler.

3'. Task requeueing

There is cases that timeslice scaling is not enough for satisfying
the guarantee because there is highest and lowest value defined for
the timeslice. The lowest value is 1, so a class that has low
guarantee but has huge number of tasks may beat another class that
has high guarantee but has small number of tasks. Task requeueing
works in such cases.

If the hungry state continues more than CPU_RC_STARVE_THRESHOLD
(defined as 2) on the scale factor recalculation, the class is
considered as starving. Tasks in the starving classes are requeued
to the active queue again when the timeslices are expired.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] add a CPU resource controller

This patch adds CPU resource controller. It enables us to control
CPU time percentage of tasks grouped by the cpu_rc structure.
It controls time_slice of tasks based on the feedback of difference
between the target value and the current usage in order to control
the percentage of the CPU usage to the target value.

This patch is against linux-2.6.15. The patched source requires
the next patch and the CKRM patchset for compilation.

CKRM patchset can be obtained from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ckrm/ckrm-f0.4-2615-single.patch.gz?download

The CKRM patches requires configfs-patched source code:
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/dist/files/patches/2.6.15-rc5/2005-12-14/01_configfs.patch

Please note that you need to apply the patches in the following order:
1. 01_configfs.patch
2. ckrm-f0.4-2615-single.patch
3. this patch (1/2)
4. the next patch (2/2)

+Introduction
+------------
+
+CPU resource controller enables user/sysadmin to control CPU time
+percentage of tasks in a class. It controls time_slice of tasks based on
+the feedback of difference between the target value and the current usage
+in order to control the percentage of the CPU usage to the target value.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+1. Configure "CPU Resource Controller" under CKRM. Currently, this cannot be
+ configured as a module.
+
+2. Reboot the system with the new kernel.
+
+3. Verify that the CPU resource controller is present by reading
+ the file /config/ckrm/shares (should show a line with res=cpu).
+
+Assigning shares
+----------------
+
+Follows the general approach of setting shares for a class in CKRM.
+
+# echo "res=cpu,guarantee=val" > shares
+
+sets the guarantee of a class.
+
+The CPU resource controller calculates an effective guarantee in percent
+for each class. The followings is an example of class/guarantee settings
+and each effective guarantee.
+
+ /
+ effective_guarantee
+ = 100% - 15% - 30% - 10% - 25%
+ = 20%
+ +---------------+---------------+
+ /A guarantee=50% /B guarantee=30%
+ effective_guarantee effective_guarantee
+ = 50% - 10% - 25% = 30% - 0%
+ = 15% = 30%
++---------------+---------------+
+/C guarantee=20% /D guarantee=50%
+ effective_guarantee effective_guarantee
+ = 20% of 50% - 0% = 10% = 50% of 50% - 0 %
+ = 10% = 25%
+
+If the guarantee in the class /A is changed 50% to 40% in the above
+example, the effective_guarantee of the class /A, /C and /D are automatically
+changed to 12%, 8% and 20% respectively.
+
+Although the total_guarantee can be changed, the effective_guarantee is
+always calculated in percent.
+
+Note that the CPU resource controller doesn't support the limit, so assigning
+the limit for "res=cpu" is meaningless.
+
+Monitoring
+----------
+
+stats file shows the effective guarantee and the current cpu usage of a class
+in percentage.
+
+# cat stats
+cpu:effective_guarantee=50, load=40
+
+That means the effective guarantee of the class is 50% and the current load
+average of the class is 40%.
+
+Since the tasks in the class do not always try to consume CPU, the load could be
+less or greater than the effective_guarantee. Both cases are normal.

I noticed some anomalies in guarantees that were provided to different classes.
Basically I had created two classes CA (10% guarantee) and CB (90% guarantee)
and run few tasks on a 4-cpu system as below:

Case 1:

CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
============================

TA1 TA2 TA3 TA4
TB1 TB2 TB3 TB4

Case 2:

CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
============================

TA1 TA2 TA3 TA4
TB4

TA* tasks belong to CA and TB* belong to CB. All are CPU hungry tasks. Also
each task is bound to the respective CPU indicated.

In both above cases, I found that CPU time was *equally* shared between the two
classes (whereas I expected them to be shared in 1:9 ratio).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Debugging it a bit indicated that the division of cr->guarantee by
cr->rcd->numcpus in cpu_rc_collect_hunger doesn't seem to be required (since
LHS is not on global scale and also the class's tasks may not be running
on other CPUs as in case 2). Removing the division rectified CPU sharing
anomaly I had found.

Let me know what you think of this fix!

This should be done at CPU_ONLINE time (since the new CPU won't
be in the cpu_online_map yet)?

Your fix seems correct.
I'll apply your patch, thanks for the fix!

Ah, you are right. LHS is on per-cpu scale.
I'll apply your patch.

Great! I also feel that "guarantee" can be explained better (in your first
documentation patch), especially in the context of multi-cpu systems. Initially
I was confused what guarantee means in SMP.
