* delay-accounting: reimplement -c for getdelays.c to report information on a ↵Mel Gorman2010-10-271-2/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | target command Task delay-accounting was identified as one means of determining how long a process spends in congestion_wait() without adding new statistics. For example, if the workload should not be doing IO, delay-accounting could reveal how long it was spending in unexpected IO or delays. Unfortunately, on closer examination it was clear that getdelays does not act as documented. Commit a3baf649 ("per-task-delay-accounting: documentation") added Documentation/accounting/getdelays.c with a -c switch that was documented to fork/exec a child and report statistics on it but for reasons that are unclear to me, commit 9e06d3f9 deleted support for this switch but did not update the documentation. It might be an oversight or it might be because the control flow of the program meant that accounting information would be printed once early in the lifetime of the program making it of limited use. This patch reimplements -c for getdelays.c to act as documented. Unlike the original version, it waits until the command completes before printing any information on it. An example of it being used looks like $ ./getdelays -d -c find /home/mel -name mel print delayacct stats ON /home/mel /home/mel/.notes-wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/mel /home/mel/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/mel /home/mel/git-configs/dot.kde/share/apps/konqueror/home/mel PID 5923 CPU count real total virtual total delay total 42779 5051232096 5164722692 564207988 IO count delay total 41727 97804147758 SWAP count delay total 0 0 RECLAIM count delay total 0 0 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Acked-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Export the number of anonymous pages in a mapping via smaps. Even the private pages in a mapping backed by a file, would be marked as anonymous, when they are modified. Export this information to user-space via smaps. Exporting this count will help gdb to make a better decision on which areas need to be dumped in its coredump; and should be useful to others studying the memory usage of a process.

* cgroup: add clone_children control fileDaniel Lezcano2010-10-271-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ns_cgroup is a control group interacting with the namespaces. When a new namespace is created, a corresponding cgroup is automatically created too. The cgroup name is the pid of the process who did 'unshare' or the child of 'clone'. This cgroup is tied with the namespace because it prevents a process to escape the control group and use the post_clone callback, so the child cgroup inherits the values of the parent cgroup. Unfortunately, the more we use this cgroup and the more we are facing problems with it: (1) when a process unshares, the cgroup name may conflict with a previous cgroup with the same pid, so unshare or clone return -EEXIST (2) the cgroup creation is out of control because there may have an application creating several namespaces where the system will automatically create several cgroups in his back and let them on the cgroupfs (eg. a vrf based on the network namespace). (3) the mix of (1) and (2) force an administrator to regularly check and clean these cgroups. This patchset removes the ns_cgroup by adding a new flag to the cgroup and the cgroupfs mount option. It enables the copy of the parent cgroup when a child cgroup is created. We can then safely remove the ns_cgroup as this flag brings a compatibility. We have now to manually create and add the task to a cgroup, which is consistent with the cgroup framework. This patch: Sent as an answer to a previous thread around the ns_cgroup. https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018627.html It adds a control file 'clone_children' for a cgroup. This control file is a boolean specifying if the child cgroup should be a clone of the parent cgroup or not. The default value is 'false'. This flag makes the child cgroup to call the post_clone callback of all the subsystem, if it is available. At present, the cpuset is the only one which had implemented the post_clone callback. The option can be set at mount time by specifying the 'clone_children' mount option. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Serge E.

There are multiple roots to the problems which means dealing with any of the root problems in isolation is tricky to justify on their own and they would still need integration testing. This patch series puts together two different patch sets which in combination should tackle some of the root causes of latency problems being reported. Patch 1 adds a tracepoint for shrink_inactive_list. For this series, the most important results is being able to calculate the scanning/reclaim ratio as a measure of the amount of work being done by page reclaim. Patch 2 accounts for time spent in congestion_wait. Patches 3-6 were originally developed by Kosaki Motohiro but reworked for this series. It has been noted that lumpy reclaim is far too aggressive and trashes the system somewhat. As SLUB uses high-order allocations, a large cost incurred by lumpy reclaim will be noticeable. It was also reported during transparent hugepage support testing that lumpy reclaim was trashing the system and these patches should mitigate that problem without disabling lumpy reclaim. Patch 7 adds wait_iff_congested() and replaces some callers of congestion_wait(). wait_iff_congested() only sleeps if there is a BDI that is currently congested. Patch 8 notes that any BDI being congested is not necessarily a problem because there could be multiple BDIs of varying speeds and numberous zones. It attempts to track when a zone being reclaimed contains many pages backed by a congested BDI and if so, reclaimers wait on the congestion queue. I ran a number of tests with monitoring on X86, X86-64 and PPC64. Each machine had 3G of RAM and the CPUs were X86: Intel P4 2-core X86-64: AMD Phenom 4-core PPC64: PPC970MP Each used a single disk and the onboard IO controller. Dirty ratio was left at 20. I'm just going to report for X86-64 and PPC64 in a vague attempt to keep this report short.

It's a rough measure of reclaim activity. Note that allocstall counts are higher because we are entering direct reclaim more often as a result of not sleeping in congestion. In itself, it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's easier to get a view of what happened from the vmscan tracepoint report.

In other words, while we are sleeping less, reclaim is not doing more work and as direct reclaim and kswapd is awake for less time, it would appear to be doing less work.

The ratio of scanning/reclaimed remains roughly similar. The downside is that kswapd and direct reclaim was awake longer and for a larger percentage of the overall workload. It's possible there were big differences in the amount of time spent reclaiming slab pages between the different kernels which is plausible considering that the micro tests runs after fsmark and sysbench.

The Scanned/written ratios also look much improved. With a better scanned/written ration, there is an expectation that IO would be more efficient and indeed, the time spent in direct reclaim is much reduced by the full series and kswapd spends a little less time awake. Overall, indications here are that allocations were happening much faster and this can be seen with a graph of the latency figures as the allocations were taking place http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/postings/vmscanreduce-20101509/highalloc-interlatency-hydra-mean.ps FTrace Reclaim Statistics: congestion_wait Direct number congest waited 1333 204 169 4 Direct time congest waited 78896ms 8288ms 7260ms 200ms Direct full congest waited 756 92 69 2 Direct number conditional waited 0 0 26 186 Direct time conditional waited 0ms 0ms 0ms 2504ms Direct full conditional waited 0 0 0 25 KSwapd number congest waited 4 395 227 282 KSwapd time congest waited 384ms 25136ms 10508ms 18380ms KSwapd full congest waited 3 232 98 176 KSwapd number conditional waited 0 0 0 0 KSwapd time conditional waited 0ms 0ms 0ms 0ms KSwapd full conditional waited 0 0 0 0 KSwapd full conditional waited 318 0 312 9 Overall, the time spent speeping is reduced. kswapd is still hitting congestion_wait() but that is because there are callers remaining where it wasn't clear in advance if they should be changed to wait_iff_congested() or not.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch creates a new idmapper system that uses the request-key function to place a call into userspace to map user and group ids to names. The old idmapper was single threaded, which prevented more than one request from running at a single time. This means that a user would have to wait for an upcall to finish before accessing a cached result. The upcall result is stored on a keyring of type id_resolver.

It's constructed as two seperate drivers for either chipset generated from the same source file, with (very) minimal ifdeffery. The drivers check the SB DSP version to decide if they are being loaded for the right chip. AZT1605 returns 2.1 by default and AZT2316 3.1. This isn't full-proof as the DSP version can actually be set through software but it's close enough -- as far as I've been able to see, the DSP version can not be stored in the EEPROM and the cards will therefore startup with the defaults. This distinction could (with the same success rate) also be used to decide which chip we're looking at at runtime meaning a single, merged driver is also an option but I feel it's actually nicer this way. A merged driver would have to postpone translating the passed in resource values to the card configuration until it knew which one it was looking at and would need to postpone erring out on mpu_irq=10 for azt1605 and mpu_irq=3 for azt2316. The drivers have been tested on various cards. For snd-azt1605: FCC-ID I38-MMSN811: Aztech Sound Galaxy Nova 16 Extra FCC-ID I38-MMSN822: Aztech Sound Galaxy Pro 16 II and for snd-azt2316: FCC-ID I38-MMSN824: Aztech Sound Galaxy Pro 16 AB FCC-ID I38-MMSN826: Trust Sound Expert DeLuxe Wave 32 (05201) FCC-ID I38-MMSN830: Trust Sound Expert DeLuxe 16+ (05202) FCC-ID I38-MMSN837: Packard Bell ISA Soundcard 030069 FCC-ID I38-MMSN846: Trust Sound Expert DeLuxe 16-3D (06300) FCC-ID I38-MMSN847: Trust Sound Expert DeLuxe Wave 32-3D (06301) FCC-ID I38-MMSN852: Aztech Sound Galaxy Waverider Pro 32-3D 826 and 846 were also marketed directly by Aztech and then known as: FCC-ID I38-MMSN826: Aztech Sound Galaxy Waverider 32+ FCC-ID I38-MMSN846: Aztech Sound Galaxy Nova 16 Extra II-3D Together, these cover the AZT1605 and AT2316A, AZT2316R and AZT2316-S chipsets. All cards work fully -- full-duplex PCM, MIDI and FM. Full duplex is a little flaky on some. I38-MSN811 tends to not work in full-duplex but sometimes does with the highest success rate being achieved when you first start the capture and then a playback instead of the other way around (it's a CS4231-KL codec). The cards with an AD1845XP codec (my I38-MMSN826 and one of my I38-MMSN830s) are also somewhat duplex-challenged. Sometimes full-duplex works, sometimes not and this varies from try to try. This seems likely to be a timing problem somewhere inside wss-lib. I38-MMSN826 has an additional "ICS2115 WaveFront" wavetable synth onboard that isn't supported yet. The wavetable synths on I38-MMSN847 and I38-MMSN852 are wired directly to the standard MPU-401 UART and the AUX1 input on the codec and work without problem. CD-ROM audio on the cards is routed to the codec "Line" input, Line-In to its Aux input, and FM/Wavetable to its AUX1 input. I did not rename the controls due to the capture source enumeration: I see that capture-source overrides are hardcoded in wss-lib and this is just too ugly to live. Versus the old snd-sgalaxy driver these drivers add support for the models without a configuration EEPROM (which are common), full-duplex, MPU-401 UART and OPL3. In the future they might grow support for that ICS2115 WaveFront synth on 826 and an hwdep interface to write to the EEPROM on the models that have one.

The RTL feature allows non-fatal System Management Interrupts (SMIs) to be disabled on supported IBM platforms and is intended to be coupled with a user-space daemon to monitor the hardware in a way that can be prioritized and scheduled to better suit the requirements for the system. The Device is presented as a special "_RTL_" table to the OS in the Extended BIOS Data Area. There is a simple protocol for entering and exiting the mode at runtime. This driver creates a simple sysfs interface to allow a simple entry and exit from RTL mode in the UFI/BIOS. Since the driver is specific to IBM SystemX hardware (x86- based servers) it only builds on x86 builds. To reduce the risk of loading on the wrong hardware, the module uses DMI information and checks a list of servers that are known to work.

The driver firedtv in drivers/media/dvb/firewire/ contains backends to both ieee1394 and firewire-core. Its ieee1394 backend code can be removed in an independent commit; firedtv as-is builds and works fine without ieee1394. The driver pcilynx (an incomplete controller driver) is deleted without replacement since PCILynx cards are extremely rare. Owners of these cards use them with the stand-alone bus sniffer driver nosy instead. The drivers nosy and init_ohci1394_dma which do not interact with either of the two IEEE 1394 stacks are not affected by the ieee1394 subsystem removal. There are still some issues with the newer firewire subsystem compared to the older one: - The rare and quirky controllers ALi M52xx, Apple UniNorth v1, NVIDIA NForce2 are even less well supported by firewire-ohci than by ohci1394. I am looking into the M52xx issue. - The experimental firewire-net is reportedly less stable than its experimental cousin eth1394. - Audio playback of a certain group of audio devices (ones based on DICE chipset with EAP; supported by prerelease FFADO code) does not work yet. This issue is still under investigation. - There were some ieee1394 based out-of-the-mainline drivers. Of them, only lisight, an audio driver for iSight webcams, seems still useful. Work is underway to reimplement it on top of firewire-core. All these remainig issues are minor; they should not stand in the way of overall better user experience of IEEE 1394 on Linux, together with a reduction in support efforts and maintenance burden.
