[PATCH 29/39] sched_ext: Add a cgroup scheduler which uses flattened hierarchy

Tejun Heo
2024-05-01T15:14:18Z

This patch adds scx_flatcg example scheduler which implements hierarchical
weight-based cgroup CPU control by flattening the cgroup hierarchy into a
single layer by compounding the active weight share at each level.

This flattening of hierarchy can bring a substantial performance gain when
the cgroup hierarchy is nested multiple levels. in a simple benchmark using
wrk[8] on apache serving a CGI script calculating sha1sum of a small file,
it outperforms CFS by ~3% with CPU controller disabled and by ~10% with two
apache instances competing with 2:1 weight ratio nested four level deep.

However, the gain comes at the cost of not being able to properly handle
thundering herd of cgroups. For example, if many cgroups which are nested
behind a low priority parent cgroup wake up around the same time, they may
be able to consume more CPU cycles than they are entitled to. In many use
cases, this isn't a real concern especially given the performance gain.
Also, there are ways to mitigate the problem further by e.g. introducing an
extra scheduling layer on cgroup delegation boundaries.

v3: - Updated to reflect the core API changes including ops.init/exit_task()
and direct dispatch from ops.select_cpu(). Fixes and improvements
including additional statistics.

- Use reference counted kptr for cgv_node instead of xchg'ing against
stash location.

- Dropped '-p' option.

v2: - Use SCX_BUG[_ON]() to simplify error handling.

+ * A demo sched_ext flattened cgroup hierarchy scheduler. It implements
+ * hierarchical weight-based cgroup CPU control by flattening the cgroup
+ * hierarchy into a single layer by compounding the active weight share at each
+ * level. Consider the following hierarchy with weights in parentheses:
+ *
+ * R + A (100) + B (100)
+ * | \ C (100)
+ * \ D (200)
+ *
+ * Ignoring the root and threaded cgroups, only B, C and D can contain tasks.
+ * Let's say all three have runnable tasks. The total share that each of these
+ * three cgroups is entitled to can be calculated by compounding its share at
+ * each level.
+ *
+ * For example, B is competing against C and in that competition its share is
+ * 100/(100+100) == 1/2. At its parent level, A is competing against D and A's
+ * share in that competition is 200/(200+100) == 1/3. B's eventual share in the
+ * system can be calculated by multiplying the two shares, 1/2 * 1/3 == 1/6. C's
+ * eventual shaer is the same at 1/6. D is only competing at the top level and
+ * its share is 200/(100+200) == 2/3.
+ *
+ * So, instead of hierarchically scheduling level-by-level, we can consider it
+ * as B, C and D competing each other with respective share of 1/6, 1/6 and 2/3
+ * and keep updating the eventual shares as the cgroups' runnable states change.
+ *
+ * This flattening of hierarchy can bring a substantial performance gain when
+ * the cgroup hierarchy is nested multiple levels. in a simple benchmark using
+ * wrk[8] on apache serving a CGI script calculating sha1sum of a small file, it
+ * outperforms CFS by ~3% with CPU controller disabled and by ~10% with two
+ * apache instances competing with 2:1 weight ratio nested four level deep.
+ *
+ * However, the gain comes at the cost of not being able to properly handle
+ * thundering herd of cgroups. For example, if many cgroups which are nested
+ * behind a low priority parent cgroup wake up around the same time, they may be
+ * able to consume more CPU cycles than they are entitled to. In many use cases,
+ * this isn't a real concern especially given the performance gain. Also, there
+ * are ways to mitigate the problem further by e.g. introducing an extra
