* per-task-delay-accounting: add memory reclaim delayKeika Kobayashi2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes, application responses become bad under heavy memory load. Applications take a bit time to reclaim memory. The statistics, how long memory reclaim takes, will be useful to measure memory usage. This patch adds accounting memory reclaim to per-task-delay-accounting for accounting the time of do_try_to_free_pages(). <i.e> - When System is under low memory load, memory reclaim may not occur. $ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 8197800 1577300 6620500 0 4808 1516724 -/+ buffers/cache: 55768 8142032 Swap: 16386292 0 16386292 $ vmstat 1 procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 0 0 5069748 10612 3014060 0 0 0 0 3 26 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 5069748 10612 3014060 0 0 0 0 4 22 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 5069748 10612 3014060 0 0 0 0 3 18 0 0 100 0 Measure the time of tar command. $ ls -s test.dat 1501472 test.dat $ time tar cvf test.tar test.dat real 0m13.388s user 0m0.116s sys 0m5.304s $ ./delayget -d -p <pid> CPU count real total virtual total delay total 428 5528345500 5477116080 62749891 IO count delay total 338 8078977189 SWAP count delay total 0 0 RECLAIM count delay total 0 0 - When system is under heavy memory load memory reclaim may occur. $ vmstat 1 procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 0 7159032 49724 1812 3012 0 0 0 0 3 24 0 0 100 0 0 0 7159032 49724 1812 3012 0 0 0 0 4 24 0 0 100 0 0 0 7159032 49848 1812 3012 0 0 0 0 3 22 0 0 100 0 In this case, one process uses more 8G memory by execution of malloc() and memset(). $ time tar cvf test.tar test.dat real 1m38.563s <- increased by 85 sec user 0m0.140s sys 0m7.060s $ ./delayget -d -p <pid> CPU count real total virtual total delay total 9021 7140446250 7315277975 923201824 IO count delay total 8965 90466349669 SWAP count delay total 3 21036367 RECLAIM count delay total 740 61011951153 In the later case, the value of RECLAIM is increasing.

* tsacct: fix bacct_add_tsk()'s use of do_div()David Howells2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix bacct_add_tsk()'s use of do_div() on an s64 by making ac_etime a u64 instead and dividing that. Possibly this should be guarded lest the interval calculation turn up negative, but the possible negativity of the result of the division is cast away, and it shouldn't end up negative anyway.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Report per-thread I/O statistics in /proc/pid/task/tid/io and aggregate parent I/O statistics in /proc/pid/io. This approach follows the same model used to account per-process and per-thread CPU times. As a practial application, this allows for example to quickly find the top I/O consumer when a process spawns many child threads that perform the actual I/O work, because the aggregated I/O statistics can always be found in /proc/pid/io.

* bsdacct: rename acct_gbls to bsd_acct_structPavel Emelyanov2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After I fixed access to task->tgid in kernel/acct.c, Oleg pointed out some bad side effects with this accounting vs pid namespaces interaction. I.e. when some task in pid namespace sets this accounting up, this blocks all the others from doing the same. Restricting this to init namespace only could help, but didn't look a graceful solution. So here is the approach to make this accounting work with pid namespaces properly. The idea is simple - when a task dies it accounts itself in each namespace it is visible from and which set the accounting up. For example here are the commands run and the output of lastcomm from init and sub namespaces: init_ns# accton pacct sub_ns# accton pacct (this is a different file - sub ns is run in a chroot-ed environment) init_ns# cat /dev/null sub_ns# ls /dev/null init_ns# accton sub_ns# accton sub_ns# lastcomm -f pacct ls 0 [136,0] 0.00 secs Thu May 15 10:30 accton 0 [136,0] 0.00 secs Thu May 15 10:30 init_ns# lastcomm -f pacct accton root pts/0 0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30 << got from sub cat root pts/1 0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30 ls root pts/0 0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30 << got from sub accton root pts/1 0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30 That was the summary, the details are in patches. This patch: It will be visible in pid_namespace.h file, so fix its name to look better outside the acct.c file.

Introduce the new state, CPU_POST_DEAD, which is called after cpu_hotplug_done() but before cpu_maps_update_done(). Change workqueue_cpu_callback() to use CPU_POST_DEAD instead of CPU_DEAD. This means that create/destroy functions can't rely on get_online_cpus() any longer and should take cpu_add_remove_lock instead.

* workqueues: implement flush_work()Oleg Nesterov2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of users of flush_workqueue() can be changed to use cancel_work_sync(), but sometimes we really need to wait for the completion and cancelling is not an option. schedule_on_each_cpu() is good example. Add the new helper, flush_work(work), which waits for the completion of the specific work_struct. More precisely, it "flushes" the result of of the last queue_work() which is visible to the caller. For example, this code queue_work(wq, work); /* WINDOW */ queue_work(wq, work); flush_work(work); doesn't necessary work "as expected". What can happen in the WINDOW above is - wq starts the execution of work->func() - the caller migrates to another CPU now, after the 2nd queue_work() this work is active on the previous CPU, and at the same time it is queued on another. In this case flush_work(work) may return before the first work->func() completes. It is trivial to add another helper int flush_work_sync(struct work_struct *work) { return flush_work(work) || wait_on_work(work); } which works "more correctly", but it has to iterate over all CPUs and thus it much slower than flush_work().

This allows us to do further changes: - simplify ->core_dump() - change exit_mm() to clear ->mm first, then wait for ->core_done. this makes the coredumping process visible to oom_kill - kill mm->core_done Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* coredump: move mm->core_waiters into struct core_stateOleg Nesterov2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move mm->core_waiters into "struct core_state" allocated on stack. This shrinks mm_struct a little bit and allows further changes. This patch mostly does s/core_waiters/core_state. The only essential change is that coredump_wait() must clear mm->core_state before return. The coredump_wait()'s path is uglified and .text grows by 30 bytes, this is fixed by the next patch.

* kill PF_BORROWED_MM in favour of PF_KTHREADOleg Nesterov2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kill PF_BORROWED_MM. Change use_mm/unuse_mm to not play with ->flags, and do s/PF_BORROWED_MM/PF_KTHREAD/ for a couple of other users. No functional changes yet. But this allows us to do further fixes/cleanups. oom_kill/ptrace/etc often check "p->mm != NULL" to filter out the kthreads, this is wrong because of use_mm(). The problem with PF_BORROWED_MM is that we need task_lock() to avoid races. With this patch we can check PF_KTHREAD directly, or use a simple lockless helper: /* The result must not be dereferenced !!! */ struct mm_struct *__get_task_mm(struct task_struct *tsk) { if (tsk->flags & PF_KTHREAD) return NULL; return tsk->mm; } Note also ecard_task(). It runs with ->mm != NULL, but it's the kernel thread without PF_BORROWED_MM.

* introduce PF_KTHREAD flagOleg Nesterov2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce the new PF_KTHREAD flag to mark the kernel threads. It is set by INIT_TASK() and copied to the forked childs (we could set it in kthreadd() along with PF_NOFREEZE instead). daemonize() was changed as well. In that case testing of PF_KTHREAD is racy, but daemonize() is hopeless anyway. This flag is cleared in do_execve(), before search_binary_handler(). Probably not the best place, we can do this in exec_mmap() or in start_thread(), or clear it along with PF_FORKNOEXEC. But I think this doesn't matter in practice, and if do_execve() fails kthread should die soon.

* ptrace: simplify ptrace_stop()->sigkill_pending() pathOleg Nesterov2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. SIGKILL can't be blocked, remove this check from sigkill_pending(). 2. When ptrace_stop() sees sigkill_pending() == T, it can just return. Kill "int killed" and simplify the code. This also is more correct, the tracer shouldn't see us in TASK_TRACED if we are not going to stop. I strongly believe this code needs further changes. We should do the "was this task killed" check unconditionally, currently it depends on arch_ptrace_stop_needed(). On the other hand, sigkill_pending() isn't very clever. If the task was killed tkill(SIGKILL), the signal can be already dequeued if the caller is do_exit().

* signals: make siginfo_t si_utime + si_sstime report times in USER_HZ, not HZMichael Kerrisk2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the switch to configurable HZ in 2.6, the treatment of the si_utime and si_stime fields that are exposed to userland via the siginfo structure looks to have been botched. As things stand, these fields report times in units of HZ, so that userland gets information that varies depending on the HZ that the kernel was configured with. This patch changes the reported values to use USER_HZ units.

* signals: dequeue_signal: don't check SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT when setting ↵Oleg Nesterov2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED dequeue_signal() checks SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT before setting SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED. This was added by 788e05a67c343fa22f2ae1d3ca264e7f15c25eaf a long ago to avoid the coredump/SIGSTOP race. Since then the related code was changed, and now this subtle check is both incomplete and unneeded at the same time. It is incomplete because nowadays exec() doesn't set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, so in fact we should check signal_group_exit() to avoid a similar race. Fortunately, we doesn't need the check at all. The only function which relies on SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED is do_signal_stop(), and it ignores this flag if signal_group_exit() == T, this covers the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT case.
