Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in memory.stat reporting
Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2017 11:33:36 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171103153336.24044-3-hannes@cmpxchg.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171103153336.24044-1-hannes@cmpxchg.org>
We've seen memory.stat reads in top-level cgroups take up to fourteen
seconds during a userspace bug that created tens of thousands of ghost
cgroups pinned by lingering page cache.
Even with a more reasonable number of cgroups, aggregating memory.stat
is unnecessarily heavy. The complexity is this:
nr_cgroups * nr_stat_items * nr_possible_cpus
where the stat items are ~70 at this point. With 128 cgroups and 128
CPUs - decent, not enormous setups - reading the top-level memory.stat
has to aggregate over a million per-cpu counters. This doesn't scale.
Instead of spreading the source of truth across all CPUs, use the
per-cpu counters merely to batch updates to shared atomic counters.
This is the same as the per-cpu stocks we use for charging memory to
the shared atomic page_counters, and also the way the global vmstat
counters are implemented.
Vmstat has elaborate spilling thresholds that depend on the number of
CPUs, amount of memory, and memory pressure - carefully balancing the
cost of counter updates with the amount of per-cpu error. That's
because the vmstat counters are system-wide, but also used for
decisions inside the kernel (e.g. NR_FREE_PAGES in the
allocator). Neither is true for the memory controller.
Use the same static batch size we already use for page_counter updates
during charging. The per-cpu error in the stats will be 128k, which is
an acceptable ratio of cores to memory accounting granularity.
