Subject: [PATCH 0/9] sched/psi: some optimization and extension

Hi all,

This patch series are some optimization and extension for PSI.

patch 1/9 fix periodic aggregation shut off problem introduced by earlier
commit 4117cebf1a9f ("psi: Optimize task switch inside shared cgroups").

patch 2/9 optimize task switch inside shared cgroups when in_memstall status
of prev task and next task are different.

patch 3-4 optimize and simplify PSI status tracking by don't change task
psi_flags when migrate CPU/cgroup.

patch 7-8 introduce new kernel cmdline parameter "psi_inner_cgroup=" to
configure whether or not to track PSI stall information for inner cgroups.

patch 9/9 introduce new PSI resource PSI_IRQ to track IRQ/SOFTIRQ pressure
stall information when CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.

Performance test on Intel Xeon Platinum with 3 levels of cgroup, in which
run mmtests config-scheduler-perfpipe:

Subject: [PATCH 1/9] sched/psi: fix periodic aggregation shut off

We don't want to wake periodic aggregation work back up if the
task change is the aggregation worker itself going to sleep, or
we'll ping-pong forever.

Previously, we would use psi_task_change() in psi_dequeue() when
task going to sleep, so this check was put in psi_task_change().

But commit 4117cebf1a9f ("psi: Optimize task switch inside shared cgroups")
defer task sleep handling to psi_task_switch(), won't go through
psi_task_change() anymore.

So this patch move this check to psi_task_switch(). Note for defer sleep
case, we should wake periodic avgs work for common ancestors groups,
since those groups have next task sched_in.

Fixes: 4117cebf1a9f ("psi: Optimize task switch inside shared cgroups")

Subject: [PATCH 3/9] sched/psi: move private helpers to sched/stats.h

This patch move psi_task_change/psi_task_switch declarations out of
PSI public header, since they are only needed for implementing the
PSI stats tracking in sched/stats.h

psi_task_switch is obvious, psi_task_change can't be public helper
since it doesn't check psi_disabled static key. And there is no
any user now, so put it in sched/stats.h too.

Subject: [PATCH 4/9] sched/psi: don't change task psi_flags when migrate CPU/group

The current code use psi_task_change() at every scheduling point,
in which change task psi_flags then change all its psi_groups.

So we have to heavily rely on the task scheduling states to calculate
what to set and what to clear at every scheduling point, which make
the PSI stats tracking code much complex and error prone.

In fact, the task psi_flags only change at wakeup and sleep (except
ONCPU state at switch), it doesn't change at all when migrate CPU/group.

If we keep its psi_flags unchanged when migrate CPU/group, we can
just use task->psi_flags to clear(migrate out) or set(migrate in),
which will make PSI stats tracking much simplier and more efficient.

Note: ENQUEUE_WAKEUP only means wakeup task from sleep state, don't
include wakeup new task, so add psi_enqueue() in wake_up_new_task().

Performance test on Intel Xeon Platinum with 3 levels of cgroup:

1. before the patch:

Subject: [PATCH 8/9] sched/psi: add kernel cmdline parameter psi_inner_cgroup

PSI accounts stalls for each cgroup separately and aggregates it
at each level of the hierarchy. This may case non-negligible overhead
for some workloads when under deep level of the hierarchy.

commit 3958e2d0c34e ("cgroup: make per-cgroup pressure stall tracking configurable")
make PSI to skip per-cgroup stall accounting, only account system-wide
to avoid this each level overhead.

For our use case, we also want leaf cgroup PSI accounted for userspace
adjustment on that cgroup, apart from only system-wide management.

So this patch add kernel cmdline parameter "psi_inner_cgroup" to control
whether or not to account for inner cgroups, which is default to true
for compatibility.

Subject: [PATCH 9/9] sched/psi: add PSI_IRQ to track IRQ/SOFTIRQ pressure

Now PSI already tracked workload pressure stall information for
CPU, memory and IO. Apart from these, IRQ/SOFTIRQ could have
obvious impact on some workload productivity, such as web service
workload.

When CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING, we can get IRQ/SOFTIRQ delta time
from update_rq_clock_task(), in which we can record that delta
to CPU curr task's cgroups as PSI_IRQ_FULL status.

Note we don't use PSI_IRQ_SOME since IRQ/SOFTIRQ always happen in
the current task on the CPU, make nothing productive could run
even if it were runnable, so we only use PSI_IRQ_FULL.

For performance impact consideration, this is enabled by default when
CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING, but can be disabled by kernel cmdline
parameter "psi_irq=".

Subject: [PATCH 5/9] sched/psi: don't create cgroup PSI files when psi_disabled

commit 3958e2d0c34e ("cgroup: make per-cgroup pressure stall tracking configurable")
make PSI can be configured to skip per-cgroup stall accounting. And
doesn't expose PSI files in cgroup hierarchy.

This patch do the same thing when psi_disabled.

Subject: [PATCH 7/9] sched/psi: cache parent psi_group to speed up groups iterate

We use iterate_groups() to iterate each level psi_group to update
PSI stats, which is a very hot path.

In current code, iterate_groups() have to use multiple branches and
cgroup_parent() to get parent psi_group for each level, which is not
very efficient.

This patch cache parent psi_group, only need to get psi_group of task
itself first, then just use group->parent to iterate.

And this patch is preparation for the following patch, in which we can
configure PSI to only account for leaf cgroups and system-wide.

Performance test on Intel Xeon Platinum with 3 levels of cgroup:

1. before the patch:

$ perf bench sched all
# Running sched/messaging benchmark...
# 20 sender and receiver processes per group
# 10 groups == 400 processes run

Total time: 0.032 [sec]

# Running sched/pipe benchmark...
# Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

Total time: 8.077 [sec]

8.077648 usecs/op
123798 ops/sec

2. after the patch:

$ perf bench sched all
# Running sched/messaging benchmark...
# 20 sender and receiver processes per group
# 10 groups == 400 processes run

Total time: 0.032 [sec]

# Running sched/pipe benchmark...
# Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

Total time: 7.758 [sec]

Subject: [PATCH 2/9] sched/psi: optimize task switch inside shared cgroups again

commit 4117cebf1a9f ("psi: Optimize task switch inside shared cgroups")
defer prev task sleep handling to psi_task_switch(), so we don't need
to clear and set TSK_ONCPU state for common cgroups.

A
|
B
/ \
C D
/ \
prev next

After that commit psi_task_switch() do:
1. psi_group_change(next, .set=TSK_ONCPU) for D
2. psi_group_change(prev, .clear=TSK_ONCPU | TSK_RUNNING) for C
3. psi_group_change(prev, .clear=TSK_RUNNING) for B, A

But there is a limitation "prev->psi_flags == next->psi_flags" that
if not satisfied, will make this cgroups optimization unusable for both
sleep switch or running switch cases. For example:

prev->in_memstall != next->in_memstall when sleep switch:
1. psi_group_change(next, .set=TSK_ONCPU) for D, B, A
2. psi_group_change(prev, .clear=TSK_ONCPU | TSK_RUNNING) for C, B, A

prev->in_memstall != next->in_memstall when running switch:
1. psi_group_change(next, .set=TSK_ONCPU) for D, B, A
2. psi_group_change(prev, .clear=TSK_ONCPU) for C, B, A

The reason why this limitation exist is that we consider a group is
PSI_MEM_FULL if the CPU is actively reclaiming and nothing productive
could run even if it were runnable. So when CPU curr changed from prev
to next and their in_memstall status is different, we have to change
PSI_MEM_FULL status for their common cgroups.

This patch remove this limitation by making psi_group_change() change
PSI_MEM_FULL status depend on CPU curr->in_memstall status.

We won't use cgroup psi_group when !psi_cgroups_enabled, so don't
bother to alloc percpu memory and init for it.

Also don't need to migrate task PSI stats between cgroups in
cgroup_move_task().

The {soft,}irq affection should be equal to all the runnable tasks
on that cpu, not only rq->curr. Further I think irqstall is per-cpu
rather than per-cgroup.

Although IRQ/SOFTIRQ is per-cpu, it's the rq->curr who own the CPU at the time
and pay for it, meanwhile other groups would be thought as PSI_CPU_FULL.

So I think it's reasonable to account this IRQ/SOFTIRQ delta to rq->curr's groups
as PSI_IRQ_FULL pressure stall. And per-cpu IRQ stall can also get from psi_system.

Thanks.

I don't think rq->curr pays for it if you mean consuming quota here.
And it doesn't seem appropriate to let other groups treat it as cpu
stall because the rq->curr is also the victim rather than the one
causes stall (so it's different from rq->curr causing memstall and
observed as cpustall by others).

Yes, it makes rq->curr's groups look more productive than it actually is,
which are clearly different from other groups.

IMHO, we don't care who causes stall, instead we care about what affects
workload productivity.

Wait, there is another psi_group_change() below this, which handles
the clearing of TSK_RUNNING for common ancestors. We don't want to
wake those either, so it needs s/true/wake_clock/ as well.

I hear the overhead argument. But skipping accounting in intermediate
levels is a bit odd and unprecedented in the cgroup interface. Once we
do this, it's conceivable people would like to do the same thing for
other stats and accounting, like for instance memory.stat.

Tejun, what are your thoughts on this?

If there isn't a concrete usecase already, let's not add another

Unfortunately, this grows the psi state touched by the scheduler into
a second cacheline. :( Please reclaim space first.

I think we can remove the NR_CPU task count, which frees up one
u32. Something like the below diff should work (untested!)

And you should be able to remove PSI_IRQ_SOME, since it's not used
anyway. Then we'd be good to go.

Right, it's a bit odd... We don't use PSI stats in intermediate levels
in our use case, but don't know what other use scenarios are. If they are
useful for other people, this patch can be dropped.

Given that PSI requires on-the-spot recursive accumulation unlike other
stats, it can add quite a bit of overhead, so I'm sympathetic to the
argument because PSI can't be made cheaper by kernel being better (or at
least we don't know how to yet).

That said, "leaf-only" feels really hacky to me. My memory is hazy but
there's nothing preventing any cgroup from being skipped over when updating
PSI states, right? The state count propagation is recursive but it's each
task's state being propagated upwards not the child cgroup's, so we can skip
over any cgroup arbitrarily. ie. we can at least turn off PSI reporting on
any given cgroup without worrying about affecting others. Am I correct?

Assuming the above isn't wrong, if we can figure out how we can re-enable
it, which is more difficult as the counters need to be resynchronized with
the current state, that'd be ideal. Then, we can just allow each cgroup to
enable / disable PSI reporting dynamically as they see fit.

Thanks.

Hi, I tested ok, would you mind if I put this patch in this series?


Subject: [PATCH] sched/psi: remove NR_ONCPU task accounting

We put all fields updated by the scheduler in the first cacheline of
struct psi_group_cpu for performance.

Since we want add another PSI_IRQ_FULL to track IRQ/SOFTIRQ pressure,
we need to reclaim space first. This patch remove NR_ONCPU task accounting
in struct psi_group_cpu, use TSK_ONCPU in state_mask to track instead.

This method is more fine-grained but more difficult like you said above.

So, I'm not necessarily against implementing something easier but we at
least wanna get the interface right, so that if we decide to do the full
thing later we can easily expand on the existing interface. ie. let's please
not be too hacky. I don't think it'd be that difficult to implement
per-cgroup disable-only operation that we can later expand to allow
re-enabling, right?

Thanks.

It should be relatively straight-forward to disable and re-enable
state aggregation, time tracking, averaging on a per-cgroup level, if
we can live with losing history from while it was disabled. I.e. the
avgs will restart from 0, total= will have gaps - should be okay, IMO.

Where it gets trickier is also stopping the tracking of task counts in
a cgroup. For re-enabling afterwards, we'd have to freeze scheduler
and cgroup state and find all tasks of interest across all CPUs for
the given cgroup to recreate the counts. I'm not quite sure whether
that's feasible, and if so, whether it's worth the savings.

It might be good to benchmark the two disabling steps independently.
Maybe stopping aggregation while keeping task counts is good enough,
and we can commit to a disable/re-enable interface from the start.

Or maybe it's all in the cachelines and iteration, and stopping the
aggregation while still writing task counts isn't saving much. In that
case we'd have to look closer at reconstructing task counts, to see if
later re-enabling is actually a practical option or whether a one-off
kill switch is more realistic.

Chengming, can you experiment with disabling: record_times(), the
test_state() loop and state_mask construction, and the averaging
worker - while keeping the groupc->tasks updates?

If this turns out to be necessary, I wonder whether we can just be
opportunistic. ie. don't bother with walking all the tasks but only remember
whether a task is accounted at a given level or not (this can be a bitmap
which is allocated at cgroup attach type and in most caess will be pretty
small). Then, maybe we can just start accounting them as they cycle through
state transitions - we ignore the ones leaving states that they weren't
accounted for and start remembering the new states they enter.

Thanks.

Agree, the interface is important, per-cgroup disable-only operation maybe easier
to implement. I will look into this more.

Thanks!

Hello,

I did this experiment today with disabling record_times(), test_state()
loop and averaging worker, while only keeping groupc->tasks[] updates,
the results look promising.

mmtests/config-scheduler-perfpipe on Intel Xeon Platinum with 3 levels of cgroup:

perfpipe

psi=off psi=on only groupc->tasks[]
Min Time 7.99 ( 0.00%) 8.86 ( -10.95%) 8.31 ( -4.08%)

Max-99 Time 8.39 ( 0.00%) 9.26 ( -10.30%) 8.57 ( -2.09%)
Max Time 8.56 ( 0.00%) 9.26 ( -8.23%) 8.72 ( -1.90%)
Amean Time 8.19 ( 0.00%) 9.03 * -10.26%* 8.45 * -3.27%*


Tejun suggested using a bitmap in task to remember whether the task is accounted
at a given level or not, which I think also is a very good idea, but I haven't
clearly figure out how to do it.

The above performance test result looks good to me, so I think we can implement this
per-cgroup "cgroup.psi" interface to disable/re-enable PSI stats from the start,
and we can change to a better implementation if needed later?

Thanks!

Yes, that sounds good to me.
