Pull sched_ext support from Tejun Heo:
 "This implements a new scheduler class called ‘ext_sched_class’, or
  sched_ext, which allows scheduling policies to be implemented as BPF
  programs.

  The goals of this are:

   - Ease of experimentation and exploration: Enabling rapid iteration
     of new scheduling policies.

   - Customization: Building application-specific schedulers which
     implement policies that are not applicable to general-purpose
     schedulers.

   - Rapid scheduler deployments: Non-disruptive swap outs of scheduling
     policies in production environments"

for the latest series:

mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers

2024-09-02T03:25:53+00:00

Patch series "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers", v7.


This patch (of 2):

Other mechanisms for querying the peak memory usage of either a process or
v1 memory cgroup allow for resetting the high watermark.  Restore parity
with those mechanisms, but with a less racy API.

For example:
 - Any write to memory.max_usage_in_bytes in a cgroup v1 mount resets
   the high watermark.
 - writing "5" to the clear_refs pseudo-file in a processes's proc
   directory resets the peak RSS.

This change is an evolution of a previous patch, which mostly copied the
cgroup v1 behavior, however, there were concerns about races/ownership
issues with a global reset, so instead this change makes the reset
filedescriptor-local.

Writing any non-empty string to the memory.peak and memory.swap.peak
pseudo-files reset the high watermark to the current usage for subsequent
reads through that same FD.

Notably, following Johannes's suggestion, this implementation moves the
O(FDs that have written) behavior onto the FD write(2) path.  Instead, on
the page-allocation path, we simply add one additional watermark to
conditionally bump per-hierarchy level in the page-counter.

Additionally, this takes Longman's suggestion of nesting the
page-charging-path checks for the two watermarks to reduce the number of
common-case comparisons.

This behavior is particularly useful for work scheduling systems that need
to track memory usage of worker processes/cgroups per-work-item.  Since
memory can't be squeezed like CPU can (the OOM-killer has opinions), these
systems need to track the peak memory usage to compute system/container
fullness when binpacking workitems.

Most notably, Vimeo's use-case involves a system that's doing global
binpacking across many Kubernetes pods/containers, and while we can use
PSI for some local decisions about overload, we strive to avoid packing
workloads too tightly in the first place.  To facilitate this, we track
the peak memory usage.  However, since we run with long-lived workers (to
amortize startup costs) we need a way to track the high watermark while a
work-item is executing.  Polling runs the risk of missing short spikes
that last for timescales below the polling interval, and peak memory
tracking at the cgroup level is otherwise perfect for this use-case.

As this data is used to ensure that binpacked work ends up with sufficient
headroom, this use-case mostly avoids the inaccuracies surrounding
reclaimable memory.

sched: Factor out cgroup weight conversion functions

2024-06-18T20:09:16+00:00

Factor out sched_weight_from/to_cgroup() which convert between scheduler
shares and cgroup weight. No functional change. The factored out functions
will be used by a new BPF extensible sched_class so that the weights can be
exposed to the BPF programs in a way which is consistent cgroup weights and
easier to interpret.

The weight conversions will be used regardless of cgroup usage. It's just
borrowing the cgroup weight range as it's more intuitive.
CGROUP_WEIGHT_MIN/DFL/MAX constants are moved outside CONFIG_CGROUPS so that
the conversion helpers can always be defined.

v2: The helpers are now defined regardless of COFNIG_CGROUPS.

cgroup/rstat: add cgroup_rstat_lock helpers and tracepoints

2024-04-16T22:10:42+00:00

This commit enhances the ability to troubleshoot the global
cgroup_rstat_lock by introducing wrapper helper functions for the lock
along with associated tracepoints.

Although global, the cgroup_rstat_lock helper APIs and tracepoints take
arguments such as cgroup pointer and cpu_in_loop variable. This
adjustment is made because flushing occurs per cgroup despite the lock
being global. Hence, when troubleshooting, it's important to identify the
relevant cgroup. The cpu_in_loop variable is necessary because the global
lock may be released within the main flushing loop that traverses CPUs.
In the tracepoints, the cpu_in_loop value is set to -1 when acquiring the
main lock; otherwise, it denotes the CPU number processed last.

The new feature in this patchset is detecting when lock is contended. The
tracepoints are implemented with production in mind. For minimum overhead
attach to cgroup:cgroup_rstat_lock_contended, which only gets activated
when trylock detects lock is contended. A quick production check for
issues could be done via this perf commands:

 perf record -g -e cgroup:cgroup_rstat_lock_contended

Next natural question would be asking how long time do lock contenders
wait for obtaining the lock. This can be answered by measuring the time
between cgroup:cgroup_rstat_lock_contended and cgroup:cgroup_rstat_locked
when args->contended is set.  Like this bpftrace script:

 bpftrace -e '
   tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_lock_contended {@start[tid]=nsecs}
   tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_locked {
     if (args->contended) {
       @wait_ns=hist(nsecs-@start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]);}}
   interval:s:1 {time("%H:%M:%S "); print(@wait_ns); }'

Extending with time spend holding the lock will be more expensive as this
also looks at all the non-contended cases.
Like this bpftrace script:

 bpftrace -e '
   tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_lock_contended {@start[tid]=nsecs}
   tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_locked { @locked[tid]=nsecs;
     if (args->contended) {
       @wait_ns=hist(nsecs-@start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]);}}
   tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_unlock {
       @locked_ns=hist(nsecs-@locked[tid]); delete(@locked[tid]);}
   interval:s:1 {time("%H:%M:%S ");  print(@wait_ns);print(@locked_ns); }'

cgroup: Add a new helper for cgroup1 hierarchy

2023-11-09T23:25:47+00:00

A new helper is added for cgroup1 hierarchy:

- task_get_cgroup1
  Acquires the associated cgroup of a task within a specific cgroup1
  hierarchy. The cgroup1 hierarchy is identified by its hierarchy ID.

This helper function is added to facilitate the tracing of tasks within
a particular container or cgroup dir in BPF programs. It's important to
note that this helper is designed specifically for cgroup1 only.

tj: Use irsqsave/restore as suggested by Hou Tao .

cgroup: Prepare for using css_task_iter_*() in BPF

2023-10-20T00:02:46+00:00

This patch makes some preparations for using css_task_iter_*() in BPF
Program.

1. Flags CSS_TASK_ITER_* are #define-s and it's not easy for bpf prog to
use them. Convert them to enum so bpf prog can take them from vmlinux.h.

2. In the next patch we will add css_task_iter_*() in common kfuncs which
is not safe. Since css_task_iter_*() does spin_unlock_irq() which might
screw up irq flags depending on the context where bpf prog is running.
So we should use irqsave/irqrestore here and the switching is harmless.
