[PATCH v3] sched: cpuset: Don't rebuild root domains on suspend-resume

[PATCH v3] sched: cpuset: Don't rebuild root domains on suspend-resume

[Qais Yousef]

Commit f9a25f776d78 ("cpusets: Rebuild root domain deadline accounting information")
enabled rebuilding root domain on cpuset and hotplug operations to
correct deadline accounting.

Rebuilding root domain is a slow operation and we see 10+ of ms delays
on suspend-resume because of that (worst case captures 20ms which
happens often).

Since nothing is expected to change on suspend-resume operation; skip
rebuilding the root domains to regain the some of the time lost.

Achieve this by refactoring the code to pass whether dl accoutning needs
an update to rebuild_sched_domains(). And while at it, rename
rebuild_root_domains() to update_dl_rd_accounting() which I believe is
a more representative name since we are not really rebuilding the root
domains, but rather updating dl accounting at the root domain.

Some users of rebuild_sched_domains() will skip dl accounting update
now:

	* Update sched domains when relaxing the domain level in cpuset
	  which only impacts searching level in load balance
	* update sched domains when cpufreq governor changes and we need
	  to create the perf domains

Users in arch/x86 and arch/s390 are left with the old behavior.

Changes in v3:

	* Change the logic to avoid using cpuhp_tasks_frozen which can be racy
	  and have dependency on context
	* Refactor the code to pass whether dl accounting needs to be updated
	  down the call chain
	* Teach cpuset_force_rebuild() to take a reason argument and convert
	  the variable into int
	* Rename rebuild_root_domains() into update_dl_rd_accounting() as
	  that's what I believe it's only doing

This one is cpuset related. (1)

This one is drivers/base/arch_topology.c [arm/arm64/...] related. (2)

There are several levels of passing this `update_dl_accounting`
information through. I guess it looks like this:

					update_dl_accounting

arm/arm64/riscv/parisc specific:
update_topology_flags_workfn()		true
rebuild_sched_domains_energy()		false (2)

cpuset_hotplug_workfn()                 cpus_updated ||
                         force_rebuild == CPUSET_FORCE_REBUILD_PRS_ERROR

->rebuild_sched_domains(update_dl_accounting)

  update_cpumasks_hier()		true
  update_relax_domain_level()		false (1)
  update_flag()				true
  update_prstate()			true

  ->rebuild_sched_domains_locked(update_dl_accounting)

    ->partition_and_rebuild_sched_domains(..., update_dl_accounting)

        if (update_dl_accounting)
          update_dl_rd_accounting()


There is already a somehow hidden interface for `sd/rd rebuild`

  int __weak arch_update_cpu_topology(void)

which lets partition_sched_domains_locked() figure out whether sched
domains have to be rebuild..

But in your case it is more on the interface `cpuset/hotplug -> sd/rd
rebuild` and not only `arch -> `sd/rd rebuild``.

IMHO, it would be still nice to have only one way to tell `sd/rd
rebuild` what to do and what not to do during sd/rd/(pd) rebuild.

I think I have enough explanation in the commit message and renamed the

IIUC you're suggesting to introduce some new mechanism to detect if hotplug has
lead to a cpu to disappear or not and use that instead? Are you saying I can
use arch_update_cpu_topology() for that? Something like this?

	diff --git a/kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c b/kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c
	index e5ddc8e11e5d..60c3dcf06f0d 100644
	--- a/kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c

	-       if (update_dl_accounting)
	+       if (arch_update_cpu_topology())
			update_dl_rd_accounting();
		mutex_unlock(&sched_domains_mutex);
	 }

I am not keen on this. arm64 seems to just read a value without a side effect.
But x86 does reset this value so we can't read it twice in the same call tree
and I'll have to extract it.

The better solution that was discussed before is to not iterate through every
task in the system and let cpuset track when dl tasks are added to it and do
smarter iteration. ATM even if there are no dl tasks in the system we'll
blindly go through every task in the hierarchy to update nothing.

But I'll leave that to Juri to address if he wants. The original change has
introduced a regression and people have noticed when phones cycle through
suspend resume (screen unlock). Juri - could you please chip in on how you want
to address this regression? In theory I should be just a reporter, but trying
my best to help ;-)

True but the title doesn't really mention the actual issue here ...
which is DL accounting. Once I read your email it became clear.

No, this is not what I meant. I'm just saying the:

  partition_sched_domains_locked()
    new_topology = arch_update_cpu_topology();

has to be considered here as well since we do a
`dl_clear_root_domain(rd)` (1) in partition_sched_domains_locked() for
!new_topology.

And (1) requires the `update_tasks_root_domain()` to happen later.

So there are cases now, e.g. `rebuild_sched_domains_energy()` in which
`new_topology=0` and `update_dl_accounting=false` which now clean the rd
but don't do a new DL accounting anymore.
rebuild_root_domains() itself cleans the `default root domain`, not the
other root domains which could exists as well.

Example: Switching CPUfreq policy [0,3-5] performance to schedutil (slow
switching, i.e. we have sugov:X DL task(s)):

The dl_clear_root_domain() of the def_root_domain and the
dl_add_task_root_domain() to the rd in use won't happen.

[sugov:0 1801] is only a simple example here. I could have spawned a
couple of DL tasks before this to illustrate the issue more obvious.

> I am not keen on this. arm64 seems to just read a value without a side effect.

Arm64 (among others) sets `update_topology=1` before
`rebuild_sched_domains()` and `update_topology=0` after it in
update_topology_flags_workfn(). This then makes `new_topology=1` in
partition_sched_domains_locked().

Yes, I can see the problem. And IMHO this solution approach seems to be
better than parsing update_dl_accounting` through the stack of involved
functions.

Ah you're referring to the dl_clear_root_domain() call there. I thought this

The best I can do is protect this dl_clear_root_domain() too. I really don't
have my heart in this but trying my best to help, but it has taken a lot of my
time already and would prefer to hand over to Juri to address this regression
if what I am proposing is not good enough.

FWIW, there are 0 dl tasks in the system where this was noticed. And this delay
is unbounded because it'll depend on how many tasks there are in the hierarchy.


Thanks!

Not ignoring you guys here, but it turns out I'm quite bogged down with

I hope I did not offend. That was meant as no pressure, I understand.

Sorry no. You'll just need to suspend to ram. I had a simple patch to measure
the time around the call and trace_printk'ed the result.

I was working on a android phone which just suspends to ram if you turn the
screen off and disconnect the usb.

I think you can use rtcwake in normal desktop environment. Something like

	sudo rtcwake -u -s 5 -m mem


Thanks!

No offence at all! I meant "we are all on the same boat it seems". :)

Looks like I could come up with the following

https://github.com/jlelli/linux.git deadline/rework-cpusets
https://github.com/jlelli/linux/tree/deadline/rework-cpusets

which I don't think it's at a point that I feel comfortable to propose
as an RFC (not even sure if it actually makes sense), but it survived my
very light testing.

Could you please take a look and, if it makes some sense in theory, give
it a try on your end?

Thanks!

Hi Juri,

Thanks for coming up with the RFC. I can test your changes in the
server environment. I observed the same issue on my side and I can
reproduce.

I sync'ed up with Qais offline earlier yesterday, and was preparing a
couple of patches that optimize the cpuset.cpus writes. Tracking dl
tasks in cpusets is one of them. But I am happy to take your patches
and do the testing. Note that I won't be able to test the dl part of
the patch, only the latency impact on rebuild_root_domains(), as we
don't have dl tasks in our system.

The other patch is fixing cpuset_rwsem. I see you switched it back to
mutex. I did observe performance issues with cpuset_rwsem. Basically,
using percpu_rwsem generates very very long latency tails for writers,
but mutex doesn't. After some debugging, I found it was because
percpu_rwsem requires every writer to call a synchronize_rcu() for
acquiring the lock. So in my patches, I disabled the fastpath of
readers for cpuset_rwsem. This has been done before[1]. But mutex also
worked.

Anyway, I'm happy to test your patches and ack once they are sent out.

Do you strictly need a proper RFC or could you please test the above for
now? If you could please do the latter, and if tests look ok, I could
then put together proper changelogs etc. and propose an RFC (it would
save me some time not to do that if the above doesn't work, apologies
for not going the proper route from the start). Guess this question
applies to Qais as well. Hummm, or maybe you are actually saying that
you are indeed going to test them already, just wanted to make sure
then. :)

Thanks!

Juri, I ported your patches to a 5.10 kernel, because my workload can
only run on 5.10. But unfortunately the kernel crashed at
cpuset_can_attach(). I'll put a few comments in your github branch.

Yeah I am working on 5.10 too (this will need to be backported to 5.10 and 5.15
ultimately) and had the same crash because task is NULL.

Fixed it this way which I think what you intended to do Juri? It moves the
check for dl_task(task) inside cgroup_taskset_for_each() loop.

Like Hao I don't have any deadline tasks in the system. With the fix above
I don't notice the delay on suspend resume using your patches.

If you want any debug; please feel free to add them into your branch so I can
run with that and give you the log.

Will need to find time to run some tests with DEADLINE tasks, yeah.
Maybe Dietmar, since you reported as well the issue above with your
testing, you could help with testing DEADLINE?

Ah, now I see! It's the same issue I saw. And it's not specifically
related to DL tasks. Any tasks which you move into a cpuset will trigger
this.
Yeah, can do some DL tests later on this fix.

One remaining doubt: `cgclassify` will still move one task at a time so
cpuset_can_attach() has to deal with one task per call. But
cgroup_taskset_for_each() says that tset can contain multiple tasks. In
this case we would have to think about only changing cs->deadline_tasks
if all tasks can be moved.
Don't know which test would trigger a tset with multiple tasks in
cpuset_can_attach().

I like your patch to revert the cpuset_rwsem change. In fact, I was 
planning to ask you about that. It is causing a lot more latency in 
workloads that need to change cpuset configuration rather frequently.

Hi Qais,

Thank you for reporting this. We observed the same issue in our
production environment. Rebuild_root_domains() is also called under
cpuset_write_resmask, which handles writing to cpuset.cpus. Under
production workloads, on a 4.15 kernel, we observed the median latency
of writing cpuset.cpus at 3ms, p99 at 7ms. Now the median becomes
60ms, p99 at >100ms. Writing cpuset.cpus is a fairly frequent and
critical path in production, but blindly traversing every task in the
system is not scalable. And its cost is really unnecessary for users
who don't use deadline tasks at all.

Great idea. This works. I tried this solution. With that, 98% of
cpuset.cpu writes are now within 7ms. Though there are still long
tails, they are caused by another issue, irrelevant to
rebuild_root_domains().

Your suggestion of update_dl_rd_accounting() also makes sense to me.

The rebuild_root_domains() function shouldn't be called when updating 
cpuset.cpus unless it is a partition root. Is it?

I think it's because we were using the legacy hierarchy. I'm not
familiar with cpuset partition though.

In legacy hierarchy, changing cpuset.cpus shouldn't lead to the calling 
of rebuild_root_domains() unless you play with cpuset.sched_load_balance 
file by changing it to 0 in the right cpusets. If you are touching 
cpuset.sched_load_balance, you shouldn't change cpuset.cpus that often.

Actually, I think it's the opposite. If I understand the code
correctly[1], it looks like rebuild_root_domains is called when
LOAD_BALANCE _is_ set and sched_load_balance is 1 by default. Is that
condition a bug?

I don't think we updated cpuset.sched_load_balance.

The only reason rebuild_root_domains() is called is because the the 
scheduling domains were changed. The cpuset.sched_load_balance control 
file is 1 by default. If no one touch it, there is just one global 
scheduling domain that covers all the active CPUs. However, by setting 
cpuset.sched_load_balance to 0 in the right cpusets, you can create 
multiple scheduling domains or disabling load balancing on some CPUs. 
With that setup, changing cpuset.cpus in the right place can cause 
rebuild_root_domains() to be called because the set of scheduling 
domains are changed.

Thanks Longman for the explanation.

I believe we don't touch cpuset.sched_load_balance, so I don't know
what's wrong for now. But I've taken note and will go back to debug
further and see if there is any setup that needs to be fixed in our
system.
