| 2020-08-12 | mm: memcg/percpu: account percpu memory to memory cgroups | Roman Gushchin | |
| Percpu memory is becoming more and more widely used by various subsystems, and the total amount of memory controlled by the percpu allocator can make a good part of the total memory. As an example, bpf maps can consume a lot of percpu memory, and they are created by a user. Also, some cgroup internals (e.g. memory controller statistics) can be quite large. On a machine with many CPUs and big number of cgroups they can consume hundreds of megabytes. So the lack of memcg accounting is creating a breach in the memory isolation. Similar to the slab memory, percpu memory should be accounted by default. To implement the perpcu accounting it's possible to take the slab memory accounting as a model to follow. Let's introduce two types of percpu chunks: root and memcg. What makes memcg chunks different is an additional space allocated to store memcg membership information. If __GFP_ACCOUNT is passed on allocation, a memcg chunk should be be used. If it's possible to charge the corresponding size to the target memory cgroup, allocation is performed, and the memcg ownership data is recorded. System-wide allocations are performed using root chunks, so there is no additional memory overhead. To implement a fast reparenting of percpu memory on memcg removal, we don't store mem_cgroup pointers directly: instead we use obj_cgroup API, introduced for slab accounting.

| 2019-03-13 | percpu: convert chunk hints to be based on pcpu_block_md | Dennis Zhou | |
| As mentioned in the last patch, a chunk's hints are no different than a block just responsible for more bits. This converts chunk level hints to use a pcpu_block_md to maintain them. This lets us reuse the same hint helper functions as a block. The left_free and right_free are unused by the chunk's pcpu_block_md.

| 2018-06-12 | treewide: Use array_size() in vmalloc() | Kees Cook | |
| The vmalloc() function has no 2-factor argument form, so multiplication factors need to be wrapped in array_size(). This patch replaces cases of: vmalloc(a * b) with: vmalloc(array_size(a, b)) as well as handling cases of: vmalloc(a * b * c) with: vmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c)) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: vmalloc(4 * 1024) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The Coccinelle script used for this was: // Fix redundant parens around sizeof(). @@ type TYPE; expression THING, E; @@ ( vmalloc( - (sizeof(TYPE)) * E + sizeof(TYPE) * E , ...) | vmalloc( - (sizeof(THING)) * E + sizeof(THING) * E , ...) ) // Drop single-byte sizes and redundant parens. @@ expression COUNT; typedef u8; typedef __u8; @@ ( vmalloc( - sizeof(u8) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(__u8) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(char) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(unsigned char) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(u8) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(__u8) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(char) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(unsigned char) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) ) // 2-factor product with sizeof(type/expression) and identifier or constant. @@ type TYPE; expression THING; identifier COUNT_ID; constant COUNT_CONST; @@ ( vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT_ID) + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT_ID + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT_CONST) + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT_CONST + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT_ID) + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT_ID + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT_CONST) + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT_CONST + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(THING)) , ...) ) // 2-factor product, only identifiers. @@ identifier SIZE, COUNT; @@ vmalloc( - SIZE * COUNT + array_size(COUNT, SIZE) , ...) // 3-factor product with 1 sizeof(type) or sizeof(expression), with // redundant parens removed. @@ expression THING; identifier STRIDE, COUNT; type TYPE; @@ ( vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT) * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT) * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT) * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT) * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) ) // 3-factor product with 2 sizeof(variable), with redundant parens removed. @@ expression THING1, THING2; identifier COUNT; type TYPE1, TYPE2; @@ ( vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(TYPE2) * COUNT + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(TYPE2)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(THING2) * (COUNT) + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(TYPE2)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING1) * sizeof(THING2) * COUNT + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(THING1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING1) * sizeof(THING2) * (COUNT) + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(THING1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(THING2) * COUNT + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(THING2) * (COUNT) + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) ) // 3-factor product, only identifiers, with redundant parens removed. @@ identifier STRIDE, SIZE, COUNT; @@ ( vmalloc( - (COUNT) * STRIDE * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - COUNT * (STRIDE) * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - COUNT * STRIDE * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - (COUNT) * (STRIDE) * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - COUNT * (STRIDE) * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - (COUNT) * STRIDE * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - (COUNT) * (STRIDE) * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - COUNT * STRIDE * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) ) // Any remaining multi-factor products, first at least 3-factor products // when they're not all constants... @@ expression E1, E2, E3; constant C1, C2, C3; @@ ( vmalloc(C1 * C2 * C3, ...) | vmalloc( - E1 * E2 * E3 + array3_size(E1, E2, E3) , ...) ) // And then all remaining 2 factors products when they're not all constants. @@ expression E1, E2; constant C1, C2; @@ ( vmalloc(C1 * C2, ...) | vmalloc( - E1 * E2 + array_size(E1, E2) , ...) ) Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> | |||

| 2017-07-26 | percpu: replace area map allocator with bitmap | Dennis Zhou (Facebook) | |
| The percpu memory allocator is experiencing scalability issues when allocating and freeing large numbers of counters as in BPF. Additionally, there is a corner case where iteration is triggered over all chunks if the contig_hint is the right size, but wrong alignment. This patch replaces the area map allocator with a basic bitmap allocator implementation. Each subsequent patch will introduce new features and replace full scanning functions with faster non-scanning options when possible. Implementation: This patchset removes the area map allocator in favor of a bitmap allocator backed by metadata blocks. The primary goal is to provide consistency in performance and memory footprint with a focus on small allocations (< 64 bytes). The bitmap removes the heavy memmove from the freeing critical path and provides a consistent memory footprint. The metadata blocks provide a bound on the amount of scanning required by maintaining a set of hints. In an effort to make freeing fast, the metadata is updated on the free path if the new free area makes a page free, a block free, or spans across blocks. This causes the chunk's contig hint to potentially be smaller than what it could allocate by up to the smaller of a page or a block. If the chunk's contig hint is contained within a block, a check occurs and the hint is kept accurate. Metadata is always kept accurate on allocation, so there will not be a situation where a chunk has a later contig hint than available. Evaluation: I have primarily done testing against a simple workload of allocation of 1 million objects (2^20) of varying size. Deallocation was done by in order, alternating, and in reverse. These numbers were collected after rebasing ontop of a80099a152. I present the worst-case numbers here: Area Map Allocator: Object Size | Alloc Time (ms) | Free Time (ms) ---------------------------------------------- 4B | 310 | 4770 16B | 557 | 1325 64B | 436 | 273 256B | 776 | 131 1024B | 3280 | 122 Bitmap Allocator: Object Size | Alloc Time (ms) | Free Time (ms) ---------------------------------------------- 4B | 490 | 70 16B | 515 | 75 64B | 610 | 80 256B | 950 | 100 1024B | 3520 | 200 This data demonstrates the inability for the area map allocator to handle less than ideal situations. In the best case of reverse deallocation, the area map allocator was able to perform within range of the bitmap allocator. In the worst case situation, freeing took nearly 5 seconds for 1 million 4-byte objects. The bitmap allocator dramatically improves the consistency of the free path. The small allocations performed nearly identical regardless of the freeing pattern. While it does add to the allocation latency, the allocation scenario here is optimal for the area map allocator. The area map allocator runs into trouble when it is allocating in chunks where the latter half is full. It is difficult to replicate this, so I present a variant where the pages are second half filled. Freeing was done sequentially. Below are the numbers for this scenario: Area Map Allocator: Object Size | Alloc Time (ms) | Free Time (ms) ---------------------------------------------- 4B | 4118 | 4892 16B | 1651 | 1163 64B | 598 | 285 256B | 771 | 158 1024B | 3034 | 160 Bitmap Allocator: Object Size | Alloc Time (ms) | Free Time (ms) ---------------------------------------------- 4B | 481 | 67 16B | 506 | 69 64B | 636 | 75 256B | 892 | 90 1024B | 3262 | 147 The data shows a parabolic curve of performance for the area map allocator. This is due to the memmove operation being the dominant cost with the lower object sizes as more objects are packed in a chunk and at higher object sizes, the traversal of the chunk slots is the dominating cost. The bitmap allocator suffers this problem as well. The above data shows the inability to scale for the allocation path with the area map allocator and that the bitmap allocator demonstrates consistent performance in general. The second problem of additional scanning can result in the area map allocator completing in 52 minutes when trying to allocate 1 million 4-byte objects with 8-byte alignment. The same workload takes approximately 16 seconds to complete for the bitmap allocator. V2: Fixed a bug in pcpu_alloc_first_chunk end_offset was setting the bitmap using bytes instead of bits. Added a comment to pcpu_cnt_pop_pages to explain bitmap_weight.

A new field, nr_empty_pop_pages, is added to the pcpu_chunk struct to keep track of the number of empty pages.

| The area map allocator manages the first chunk area by hiding all but the region it is responsible for serving in the area map. To align this with the populated page bitmap, end_offset is introduced to keep track of the delta to end page aligned.
