[PATCH 0/3 v2] per-task-delay-accounting: add memory reclaim delay

[Keika Kobayashi]

Hi.

This is v2 of accounting memory reclaim patch series.
Thanks to Kosaki-san, Kamezawa-san, Andrew for comments and advice!
These patches were fixed about the following.

Against: next-20080605

1) Change Log

 o Add accounting memory reclaim delay from memcgroup.
   For accounting both global and cgroup memory reclaim,
   accounting point was moved from try_to_free_pages() to do_try_to_free_pages.

 o Drop the patch regarding /proc export for memory reclaim delay.
   Because it seems that two separate ways to report are not necessary,
   this patch series supports only NETLINK and doesn't add a field to /proc/<pid>/stat.


2) Confirm the fix regarding memcgroup.

  o Previous patch can't catch memory reclaim delay from memcgroup.

    $ echo 10M > /cgroups/0/memory.limit_in_bytes

    $ ls -s test.dat
    500496 test.dat

    $ time tar cvf test.tar test.dat

    RECLAIM         count    delay total
                        0              0

  o Current patch can catch memory reclaim delay from memcgroup.

[PATCH 1/3 v2] per-task-delay-accounting: add memory reclaim delay

[Keika Kobayashi]

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

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    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.
So, taskstats can show how much memory reclaim influences TAT.

Two suggested changes

1. Please add all fields at the end (otherwise we risk breaking compatibility)
2. please also update Documentation/accounting/taskstats-struct.txt

And update TASKSTATS_VERSION, right?

Thanks for your suggestion.
Update version is here.

In taskstats-struct.txt, there was not a discription for "Time accounting for SMT machines".
This patch was made after the following patch had been applied.

Thanks for your comment.

But I confirmed this patch did not remain
"email bare discssion" on git log.

[PATCH 3/3 v2] per-task-delay-accounting: update document and getdelays.c for memory reclaim

[Keika Kobayashi]

Update document and make getdelays.c show delay accounting for memory reclaim.

For making a distinction between "swapping in pages" and "memory reclaim"
in getdelays.c, MEM is changed to SWAP.

looks good to me.

but I don't know s/MEM/SWAP/ renaming is good or bad.
You should hear delayacct developer opinion. IMHO.

Looks interesting, this data is for the whole system or memcgroup? If it is for
memcgroup, we should be using cgroupstats.

This patch itself is for per-task-stat. And it seems cgroup_stat doesn't handle
delay accounting now. It just counts # of processes in some status.

Thanks for your comment.
This accounting, which is named "RECLAIM", is global and memcgroup reclaim delay
and this data is value per task.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what the whole system means.
Could you tell me your point?

By whole system, I meant global reclaim.
