[PATCH 0/5] memcg/kmem: switch to white list policy

[Vladimir Davydov]

Hi,

Currently, all kmem allocations (namely every kmem_cache_alloc, kmalloc,
alloc_kmem_pages call) are accounted to memory cgroup automatically.
Callers have to explicitly opt out if they don't want/need accounting
for some reason. Such a design decision leads to several problems:

 - kmalloc users are highly sensitive to failures, many of them
   implicitly rely on the fact that kmalloc never fails, while memcg
   makes failures quite plausible.

 - A lot of objects are shared among different containers by design.
   Accounting such objects to one of containers is just unfair.
   Moreover, it might lead to pinning a dead memcg along with its kmem
   caches, which aren't tiny, which might result in noticeable increase
   in memory consumption for no apparent reason in the long run.

 - There are tons of short-lived objects. Accounting them to memcg will
   only result in slight noise and won't change the overall picture, but
   we still have to pay accounting overhead.

For more info, see

 - https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/5/365
 - https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/6/122

Therefore this patch switches to the white list policy. Now kmalloc
users have to explicitly opt in by passing __GFP_ACCOUNT flag.

Currently, the list of accounted objects is quite limited and only
includes those allocations that (1) are known to be easily triggered
from userspace and (2) can fail gracefully (for the full list see patch
no. 5) and it still misses many object types. However, accounting only
those objects should be a satisfactory approximation of the behavior we
used to have for most sane workloads.

Thanks,

used to have for most sane workloads.

[PATCH 1/5] Revert "kernfs: do not account ino_ida allocations to memcg"

[Vladimir Davydov]

This reverts commit 499611ed451508a42d1d7d1faff10177827755d5.

Black-list kmem accounting policy (aka __GFP_NOACCOUNT) turned out to be
fragile and difficult to maintain, because there seem to be many more
allocations that should not be accounted than those that should be.
Besides, false accounting an allocation might result in much worse
consequences than not accounting at all, namely increased memory
consumption due to pinned dead kmem caches.

So it was decided to switch to the white-list policy. This patch reverts
bits introducing the black-list policy. The white-list policy will be
introduced later in the series.

[PATCH 3/5] memcg: only account kmem allocations marked as __GFP_ACCOUNT

[Vladimir Davydov]

Black-list kmem accounting policy (aka __GFP_NOACCOUNT) turned out to be
fragile and difficult to maintain, because there seem to be many more
allocations that should not be accounted than those that should be.
Besides, false accounting an allocation might result in much worse
consequences than not accounting at all, namely increased memory
consumption due to pinned dead kmem caches.

So this patch switches kmem accounting to the white-policy: now only

[PATCH 3/5] memcg: only account kmem allocations marked as __GFP_ACCOUNT

[Vladimir Davydov]

Black-list kmem accounting policy (aka __GFP_NOACCOUNT) turned out to be
fragile and difficult to maintain, because there seem to be many more
allocations that should not be accounted than those that should be.
Besides, false accounting an allocation might result in much worse
consequences than not accounting at all, namely increased memory
consumption due to pinned dead kmem caches.

So this patch switches kmem accounting to the white-policy: now only
those kmem allocations that are marked as __GFP_ACCOUNT are accounted to
memcg. Currently, no kmem allocations are marked like this. The
following patches will mark several kmem allocations that are known to
be easily triggered from userspace and therefore should be accounted to
memcg.

[PATCH 4/5] vmalloc: allow to account vmalloc to memcg

[Vladimir Davydov]

This patch makes vmalloc family functions allocate vmalloc area pages
with alloc_kmem_pages so that if __GFP_ACCOUNT is set they will be
accounted to memcg. This is needed, at least, to account alloc_fdmem
allocations.

[PATCH 5/5] Account certain kmem allocations to memcg

[Vladimir Davydov]

This patch marks those kmem allocations that are known to be easily
triggered from userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
memcg. For the list, see below:

 - threadinfo
 - task_struct
 - task_delay_info
 - pid
 - cred
 - mm_struct
 - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
 - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
 - signal_struct
 - sighand_struct
 - fs_struct
 - files_struct
 - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
 - dentry and external_name
 - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
   most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method. Looks like using
   __GFP_ACCOUNT in alloc_inode is going to become a new rule, like
   passing SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT on inode cache creation.

The list is by far not complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).

[PATCH 5/5] Account certain kmem allocations to memcg

[Vladimir Davydov]

This patch marks those kmem allocations that are known to be easily
triggered from userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
memcg. For the list, see below:

 - threadinfo
 - task_struct
 - task_delay_info
 - pid
 - cred
 - mm_struct
 - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
 - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
 - signal_struct
 - sighand_struct
 - fs_struct
 - files_struct
 - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
 - dentry and external_name
 - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
   most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method. Looks like using
   __GFP_ACCOUNT in alloc_inode is going to become a new rule, like
   passing SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT on inode cache creation.

The list is by far not complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).

I am wondering whether using a helper function to allocate an inode
cache would help in that regards. It would limit __GFP_ACCOUNT
penetration into fs code.

pipe buffers are trivial to abuse (e.g. via fd passing) so we want to
cap those as well. The following should do the trick AFAICS.

I'm afraid that wouldn't free fs code from the need to use
__GFP_ACCOUNT, because there are other things that we might want to
account AFAICS, e.g. ext4_crypt_info_cachep or ext4_es_cachep.

You might also mention allocations caused by select/poll, page tables,
radix_tree_node, etc. They all might be abused, but the primary purpose
of this patch set is not catching abusers, but providing reasonable
level of isolation for most normal workloads. Let's add everything above
that in separate patches.

> cap those as well. The following should do the trick AFAICS.

Actually, no - you only account pipe metadata while anon pipe buffer
pages, which usually constitute most of memory consumed by a pipe, still
go unaccounted. I'm planning to make pipe accountable later.

GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ACCOUNT are used really often, that's why I
introduced GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT.

Yes, I think we should have gone that path since the very beginning.
Glauber even started with opt-in IIRC (caches were supposed to register
to be accounted). I do not remember what's led to the opt-out switch -
but I guess it has something to do with the user API how to select which
caches to track and also the original version from Google by Suleiman
Souhlal did the opt-out from the very beginning. Also kmem extension was
assumed to be used for "special" workloads.

I am _all_ for this semantic I am just not sure what to do with the
legacy kmem controller. Can we change its semantic? If we cannot do that
we would have to distinguish legacy and unified hierarchies during
runtime and add the flag automagically for the first one (that would
however require to keep __GFP_NOACCOUNT as well) which is all as clear
as mud. But maybe the workloads which are using kmem legacy API can cope
with that.

Anyway if we go this way then I think the kmem accounting would be safe
to be enabled by default with the cgroup2.

The patch ordering would break the bisectability. I would simply squash
both places into the patch which replaces the flag.

I think we can make that change for the existing kmem accounting too,
simply because the whitelist should be covering all memory consumers
that actually matter for isolation in practice. Yes, there is a risk
for accidents, but we are not actually intending to change semantics.

I think we can. If somebody reports a "bug" caused by this change, i.e.
basically notices that something that used to be accounted is not any
longer, it will be trivial to fix by adding __GFP_ACCOUNT where
appropriate. If it is not, e.g. if accounting of objects of a particular
type leads to intense false-sharing, we would end up disabling
accounting for it anyway.

I think we can. If somebody reports a "bug" caused by this change, i.e.
basically notices that something that used to be accounted is not any
longer, it will be trivial to fix by adding __GFP_ACCOUNT where
appropriate. If it is not, e.g. if accounting of objects of a particular
type leads to intense false-sharing, we would end up disabling
accounting for it anyway.

I agree too, if anything is meaningfully broken by the flip, it just
indicates that the whitelist needs to be expanded; however, I wonder
whether this would be done better at slab level rather than per
allocation site.

A class of objects which can consume noticeable amount of memory which
can be attributed to userland is likely to be on its own slab already
or separating it out to its own slab is likely to be a good idea.
Marking those slabs as kmemcg accounted seems better suited to the
semantics - it's always about classes of objects - and less
error-prone than marking individual allocation sites.

This also reduces the number of slabs to worry about and more
importantly makes it clear which slabs need to be replicated for
kmemcg accounting from the beginning and the slab part of
implementation can be far simpler / more static.

Thanks.

I'd like to, but this is not as simple as it seems at first glance. The
problem is that slab caches of the same size are actively merged with
each other. If we just added SLAB_ACCOUNT flag, which would be passed to
kmem_cache_create to enable accounting, we'd divide all caches into two
groups that couldn't be merged with each other even if kmem accounting
was not used at all. This would be a show stopper.

Of course, we could rework slab merging so that kmem_cache_create
returned a new dummy cache even if it was actually merged. Such a cache
would point to the real cache, which would be used for allocations. This
wouldn't limit slab merging, but this would add one more dereference to
alloc path, which is even worse.

That's why I decided to go with marking individual allocations.

Thanks,
Vladimir

Hmmm, this could be me not really understanding but why can't we let
all slabs to be merged regardless of SLAB_ACCOUNT flag for root memcg
and point to per-memcg slabs (may be merged among them but most likely
won't matter) for !root.  We're indirecting once anyway, no?

Because we won't be able to distinguish kmem_cache_alloc calls that
should be accounted from those that shouldn't. The problem is if two
caches

	A = kmem_cache_create(...)

and

	B = kmem_cache_create(...)

happen to be merged, A and B will point to the same kmem_cache struct.
As a result, there is no way to distinguish

	kmem_cache_alloc(A)

which we want to account from

	kmem_cache_alloc(B)

which we don't.

If kmem accounting is not used, we aren't indirecting. That's why I
don't think we can use dummy kmem_cache struct for merged caches, where
we could store __GFP_ACCOUNT flag.

Hmm.... can't we simply merge among !SLAB_ACCOUNT and SLAB_ACCOUNT
kmem_caches within themselves?  I don't think we'd be losing anything
by restricting merge at that level.  For anything to be tagged
SLAB_ACCOUNT, it has to have a potential to grow enormous after all.

OK, I'll prepare v2 which will introduce SLAB_ACCOUNT and add it to

Sorry, forgot to comment on this. I didn't mean it would break
compilation. It would just reintroduce the bug fixed by "kernfs: do not
account ino_ida allocations to memcg". My understanding is that the bug
is quite unlikely and it will results in a pinned memcg which is much
less serious than a crash or other misbehavior.

I will leave whether this is serious enough to you but as the revert is
basically dropping the flag which can be trivially done in the patch
which renames it and changes its semantic I do not think splitting has
any large advantage.

Sorry, forgot to comment on this. I didn't mean it would break
compilation. It would just reintroduce the bug fixed by "kernfs: do not
account ino_ida allocations to memcg". My understanding is that the bug
is quite unlikely and it will results in a pinned memcg which is much
less serious than a crash or other misbehavior.
