[PATCH RFC 1/3] cgroup: list all subsystem states in debugfs files

[PATCH RFC 1/3] cgroup: list all subsystem states in debugfs files

[Konstantin Khlebnikov]

After removing cgroup subsystem state could leak or live in background
forever because it is pinned by some reference. For example memory cgroup
could be pinned by pages in cache or tmpfs.

This patch adds common debugfs interface for listing basic state for each
controller. Controller could define callback for dumping own attributes.

In file /sys/kernel/debug/cgroup/<controller> each line shows state in
format: <common_attr>=<value>... [-- <controller_attr>=<value>... ]

Common attributes:

css - css pointer
cgroup - cgroup pointer
id - css id
ino - cgroup inode
flags - css flags
refcnt - css atomic refcount, for online shows huge bias
path - cgroup path

This patch adds memcg attributes:

mem_id - 16-bit memory cgroup id
memory - charged pages
swap - charged swap

[PATCH RFC 2/3] proc/kpagecgroup: report also inode numbers of offline cgroups

[Konstantin Khlebnikov]

By default this interface reports inode number of closest online ancestor
if cgroups is offline (removed). Information about real owner is required
for detecting which pages keep removed cgroup.

This patch adds per-file mode which is changed by writing 64-bit flags
into opened /proc/kpagecgroup. For now only first bit is used.

We pin the ino till the cgroup is actually released now but that's an
implementation detail which may change in the future, so I'm not sure
this is a good idea.  Can you instead use the 64bit filehandle exposed
by kernfs?  That's currently also based on ino (+gen) but it's
something guarnateed to stay unique per cgroup and you can easily get
to the cgroup using the fh too.

Thanks.

Generally I like the idea of having more introspection into offlined
cgroups, but I wonder if having only memory= and swap= could be a
little too terse to track down what exactly is pinning the groups.

Roman has more experience debugging these pileups, but it seems to me
that unless we add a breakdown off memory, and maybe make slabinfo
available for these groups, that in practice this might not provide
that much more insight than per-cgroup stat counters of dead children.

Totally agree with the idea and was about to suggest something similar.

I agree here.

It's hard to say in advance what numbers are useful, so let's export
these numbers, but also make the format more extendable, so we can
easily add new information later. Maybe, something like:

cgroup {
  path = ...
  ino = ...
  main css {
    refcnt = ...
    key = value
    ...
  }
  memcg css {
    refcnt = ...
    ...
  }
  some other controller css {
  }
  ...
}

Also, because we do batch charges, printing numbers without draining stocks
is not that useful. All stats are also per-cpu cached, what adds some
inaccuracy.

Thanks!

I don't think that we could cover all cases with single interface.

This debugfs just gives simple entry point for debugging:
- paths for guessing user
- pointers for looking with gdb via kcore
- inode numbers for page-types - see second and third patch

For slab: this could show one of remaining slab. Anyway each of them pins css.

Seems too verbose. And one-line key=value format is more grep/awk friendly.

Anyway such extended debugging could be implemented as gdb plugin.
While simple list of pointers gives enough information for dumping structures
with gdb alone without extra plugins.
