There\nis no way, later in the flow, to differentiate between whether softirq is\nbeing processed or is it just that bh has been disabled. So, a hardirq when bh\nis disabled results in time being wrongly accounted as softirq.\n\nLooking at the code a bit more, the problem exists in !VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING\nas well. As account_system_time() in normal tick based accouting also uses\nsoftirq_count, which will be set even when not in softirq with bh disabled.\n\nPeter also suggested solution of using 2*SOFTIRQ_OFFSET as irq count\nfor local_bh_{disable,enable} and using just SOFTIRQ_OFFSET while softirq\nprocessing. The patch below does that and adds API in_serving_softirq() which\nreturns whether we are currently processing softirq or not.\n\nAlso changes one of the usages of softirq_count in net/sched/cls_cgroup.c\nto in_serving_softirq.\n\nLooks like many usages of in_softirq really want in_serving_softirq.

The goal is to\nmake it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better\nunderstood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most\nmemory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace.\n\nInstead of basing the heuristic on mm-\u003etotal_vm for each task, the task\u0027s\nrss and swap space is used instead. This is a better indication of the\namount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen\nand subsequently exits. This helps specifically in cases where KDE or\nGNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory\nhogging task.\n\nThe baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is\ncurrently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of \"allowable\"\nmemory. \"Allowable,\" in this sense, means the system-wide resources for\nunconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems\nattached to current\u0027s cpuset, or a memory controller\u0027s limit. The\nproportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill),\nroughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task\nconsumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap\nspace.\n\nThe proportion is always relative to the amount of \"allowable\" memory and\nnot the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may\noperate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the\nmachine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of\nnodes or mems, respectively.\n\nRoot tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory()\nprovides in LSMs. In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of\nmemory, it is generally better to save root\u0027s task.\n\nBecause of the change in the badness() heuristic\u0027s baseline, it is also\nnecessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it. It\u0027s not possible\nto redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the\nABI cannot be changed for backward compatability. Instead, a new tunable,\n/proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000. It may\nbe used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never\nconsidered for oom kill while others may always be considered. The value\nis added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for\nexample, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to\nother tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset,\nor sharing the same memory controller.\n\n/proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the\nunits used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa. Changing one of\nthese per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an\nequivalent meaning. Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as\na bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as\n/proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity. This is required\nso the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to\nbe deprecated for future removal.\n\nSigned-off-by: David Rientjes \u003crientjes@google.com\u003e\nCc:

So the existing optimization works only on semi idle\nsystem).\n\nAnd In semi idle system, we no longer have periodic ticks on the idle load\nbalancer CPU.

But in the way, the allocator may find that\nthere is no node to alloc memory.\n\nThe reason is that cpuset rebinds the task\u0027s mempolicy, it cleans the\nnodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example:\n\n(mpol: mempolicy)\n\ttask1\t\t\ttask1\u0027s mpol\ttask2\n\talloc page\t\t1\n\t alloc on node0?

For x86_64, a fork will result in the task-\u003estack_start\nvalue being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack\nstart address. This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes\nit worthless. That includes the intended use of showing how much stack\nspace a thread has.\n\nOther architectures will get different values.

So if \"now\"\nvalue is too big for sched_clock_data, it will be ignored.\n\nThe fix is to invoke sched_clock_tick() to update \"cpu sched\nclock\" in order to recover from this state. This is done by\nintroducing the function touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync().

set_task_cpu()\n\nIn order to remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu() we\nneed to ensure the task is cfs_rq invariant for all callsites.\n\nThe simple approach is to substract cfs_rq-\u003emin_vruntime from\nse-\u003evruntime on dequeue, and add cfs_rq-\u003emin_vruntime on\nenqueue.\n\nHowever, this has the downside of breaking FAIR_SLEEPERS since\nwe loose the old vruntime as we only maintain the relative\nposition.\n\nTo solve this, we observe that we only migrate runnable tasks,\nwe do this using deactivate_task(.sleep\u003d0) and\nactivate_task(.wakeup\u003d0), therefore we can restrain the\nmin_vruntime invariance to that state.\n\nThe only other case is wakeup balancing, since we want to\nmaintain the old vruntime we cannot make it relative on dequeue,\nbut since we don\u0027t migrate inactive tasks, we can do so right\nbefore we activate it again.\n\nThis is where we need the new pre-wakeup hook, we need to call\nthis while still holding the old rq-\u003elock. We could fold it into\n-\u003eselect_task_rq(), but since that has multiple callsites and\nwould obfuscate the locking requirements, that seems like a\nfudge.\n\nThis leaves the fork() case, simply make sure that -\u003etask_fork()\nleaves the -\u003evruntime in a relative state.\n\nThis covers all cases where set_task_cpu() gets called, and\nensures it sees a relative vruntime.\n\nSigned-off-by: Peter Zijlstra \u003ca.p.zijlstra@chello.nl\u003e\nCc: Mike Galbraith \u003cefault@gmx.de\u003e\nLKML-Reference: \u003c20091216170518.191697025@chello.nl\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "efbbd05a595343a413964ad85a2ad359b7b7efbd", "tree": "c1bf0d86134187e127a00067b50b0684c2988860", "parents": [ "881232b70b195768a71cd74ff4b4e8ab9502997b" ], "author": { "name": "Peter Zijlstra", "email": "a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl", "time": "Wed Dec 16 18:04:40 2009 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Wed Dec 16 19:01:58 2009 +0100" }, "message": "sched: Add pre and post wakeup hooks\n\nAs will be apparent in the next patch, we need a pre wakeup hook\nfor sched_fair task migration, hence rename the post wakeup hook\nand one pre wakeup.\n\nSigned-off-by: Peter Zijlstra \u003ca.p.zijlstra@chello.nl\u003e\nCc: Mike Galbraith \u003cefault@gmx.de\u003e\nLKML-Reference: \u003c20091216170518.114746117@chello.nl\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "ad09750b51150ca87531b8790a379214a974c167", "tree": "785520da252e18a058642c7bc95dda35100e4565", "parents": [ "7486e5d9fc773cb67c29381567bed5236fc9573c" ], "author": { "name": "Oleg Nesterov", "email": "oleg@redhat.com", "time": "Tue Dec 15 16:47:25 2009 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Wed Dec 16 07:20:09 2009 -0800" }, "message": "signals: kill force_sig_specific()\n\nKill force_sig_specific(), this trivial wrapper has no callers.\n\nSigned-off-by: Oleg Nesterov \u003coleg@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Roland McGrath \u003croland@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Sukadev Bhattiprolu \u003csukadev@us.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "614c517d7c00af1b26ded20646b329397d6f51a1", "tree": "ddd7a82b3479c9fabe141b4c82a1794650a82b4f", "parents": [ "d51965037325e51f6cd68583413243c3573e47b0" ], "author": { "name": "Oleg Nesterov", "email": "oleg@redhat.com", "time": "Tue Dec 15 16:47:22 2009 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Wed Dec 16 07:20:08 2009 -0800" }, "message": "signals: SEND_SIG_NOINFO should be considered as SI_FROMUSER()\n\nNo changes in compiled code.

For avoiding scattering memcg\u0027s\nstructure to functions under /mm, this patch adds memcg batch uncharge\ninformation to the task. A reason for per-task batching is for making use\nof caller\u0027s context information.
