Introduce per-mm/cpu current concurrency id (mm_cid) to fix a PostgreSQL
sysbench regression reported by Aaron Lu.
Keep track of the currently allocated mm_cid for each mm/cpu rather than
freeing them immediately on context switch. This eliminates most atomic
operations when context switching back and forth between threads
belonging to different memory spaces in multi-threaded scenarios (many
processes, each with many threads). The per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid values are
serialized by their respective runqueue locks.
Thread migration is handled by introducing a task-work executed
periodically, similarly to NUMA work, which delays reclaim of cid
values when they are unused for a period of time.
Keep track of the allocation time for each per-cpu cid, and let the task
work clear them when they are observed to be older than
SCHED_MM_CID_PERIOD_NS and unused.
This fix is going for a task-work and delayed reclaim approach rather
than adding hooks to migrate-from and migrate-to because migration
happens to be a hot path for various real-world workloads.
Because we want to ensure the mm_cid converges towards the smaller
values as migrations happen, the prior optimization that was done when
context switching between threads belonging to the same mm is removed,
because it could delay the lazy release of the destination runqueue
mm_cid after it has been replaced by a migration. Removing this prior
optimization is not an issue performance-wise because the introduced
per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid tracking also covers this more specific case.
This patch is based on v6.3-rc6 with this patch applied:
("mm: Fix memory leak on mm_init error handling")

Changes since v5:
- Introduce task-work and delay-based reclaim.
Changes since v4:
- Retry on filled mm_cid mask,
- Disable interrupts during ownership of cid in migrate-from without rq
lock,
- Implement lock-free cid-get, using spinlock only to guarantee
forward progress when contention is detected.
- Use try_cmpxchg where appropriate.
Changes since v3:
- Rebase on v6.3-rc6,
- Move switch_mm_cid() from prepare_task_switch() to context_switch()
after the switch_to() barrier,
- Adding missing barriers at the beginning of switch_mm_cid(),
- Document the lock-free migrate-from algorithm.
- Add memory barriers in sched_mm_cid_exit_signals(),
sched_mm_cid_before_execve(), and sched_mm_cid_after_execve() to
order t->mm_cid_active store, per-mm/cpu cid load wrt migrate-from
per-mm-cid cid cmpxchg, t->mm_cid_active load.

+ * There is one basic properties we want to guarantee here:
+ *
+ * (1) Clear-old should _never_ mark a per-cpu cid UNSET when it is actively
+ * used by a task. That would lead to concurrent allocation of the cid and
+ * userspace corruption.
+ *
+ * Provide this guarantee by introducing a Dekker memory ordering to guarantee
+ * that a pair of loads observe at least one of a pair of stores, which can be
+ * shown as:
+ *
+ * X = Y = 0
+ *
+ * w[X]=1 w[Y]=1
+ * MB MB
+ * r[Y]=y r[X]=x
+ *
+ * Which guarantees that x==0 && y==0 is impossible. But rather than using
+ * values 0 and 1, this algorithm cares about specific state transitions of the
+ * runqueue current task (as updated by the scheduler context switch), and the
+ * per-mm/cpu cid value.
+ *
+ * Let's introduce task (Y) which has task->mm == mm and task (N) which has
+ * task->mm != mm for the rest of the discussion. There are two scheduler state
+ * transitions on context switch we care about:
+ *
+ * (TSA) Store to rq->curr with transition from (N) to (Y)
+ *
+ * (TSB) Store to rq->curr with transition from (Y) to (N)
+ *
+ * On the clear-old side, there is one transition we care about:
+ *
+ * (TMA) cmpxchg to *pcpu_cid to set the LAZY flag
+ *
+ * There is also a transition to UNSET state which can be performed from all
+ * sides (scheduler, clear-old). It is always performed with a cmpxchg which
+ * guarantees that only a single thread will succeed:
+ *
+ * (TMB) cmpxchg to *pcpu_cid to mark UNSET
+ *
+ * Just to be clear, what we do _not_ want to happen is a transition to UNSET
+ * when a thread is actively using the cid (property (1)).
+ *
+ * Let's looks at the relevant combinations of TSA/TSB, and TMA transitions.
+ *
+ * Scenario A) (TSA)+(TMA) (from next task perspective)
+ *
+ * CPU0 CPU1
+ *
+ * Context switch CS-1 Migrate-from
+ * - store to rq->curr: (N)->(Y) (TSA) - cmpxchg to *pcpu_id to LAZY (TMA)
+ * (implied barrier after cmpxchg)
+ * - switch_mm_cid()
+ * - memory barrier (see switch_mm_cid()
+ * comment explaining how this barrier
+ * is combined with other scheduler
+ * barriers)
+ * - mm_cid_get (next)
+ * - READ_ONCE(*pcpu_cid) - rcu_dereference(src_rq->curr)
+ *
+ * This Dekker ensures that either task (Y) is observed by the
+ * rcu_dereference() or the LAZY flag is observed by READ_ONCE(), or both are
+ * observed.
+ *
+ * If task (Y) store is observed by rcu_dereference(), it means that there is
+ * still an active task on the cpu. Clear-old will therefore not transition
+ * to UNSET, which fulfills property (1).
+ *
+ * If task (Y) is not observed, but the lazy flag is observed by READ_ONCE(),
+ * it will move its state to UNSET, which clears the percpu cid perhaps
+ * uselessly (which is not an issue for correctness). Because task (Y) is not
+ * observed, CPU1 can move ahead to set the state to UNSET. Because moving
+ * state to UNSET is done with a cmpxchg expecting that the old state has the
+ * LAZY flag set, only one thread will successfully UNSET.
+ *
+ * If both states (LAZY flag and task (Y)) are observed, the thread on CPU0
+ * will observe the LAZY flag and transition to UNSET (perhaps uselessly), and
+ * CPU1 will observe task (Y) and do nothing more, which is fine.
+ *
+ * What we are effectively preventing with this Dekker is a scenario where
+ * neither LAZY flag nor store (Y) are observed, which would fail property (1)
+ * because this would UNSET a cid which is actively used.

No lock contention from cid.
For postgres_sysbench:
mm_cid_get() is in the range of 0.2% - 1.2% during a 5 minutes run.
Other cid functions are pretty minor.
For hackbench:
mm_cid_get() is in the range of 2.x% - 7.x%. Other cid functions are
pretty minor.

I was wondering, if a thread was migrated to all possible cpus in the
SCHED_MM_CID_PERIOD_NS window, its mm_cidmask will be full. For user
space, if cid can be the full set of cpus, then it will have to prepare
storage for the full set. Then what's the point of doing compaction? Or
do I understand it wrong?

Yes, that's a limit of this approach I am aware of. I'm currently trying
to combine the best parts of v5 and v6 together to add back a low
overhead migration hook that will preserve the compactness in those
migration scenarios.
