14 years agomutex: Improve the scalability of optimistic spinning
Tim Chen [Wed, 18 Aug 2010 22:00:27 +0000 (15:00 -0700)]
mutex: Improve the scalability of optimistic spinning

There is a scalability issue for current implementation of optimistic
mutex spin in the kernel.  It is found on a 8 node 64 core Nehalem-EX
system (HT mode).

The intention of the optimistic mutex spin is to busy wait and spin on a
mutex if the owner of the mutex is running, in the hope that the mutex
will be released soon and be acquired, without the thread trying to
acquire mutex going to sleep. However, when we have a large number of
threads, contending for the mutex, we could have the mutex grabbed by
other thread, and then another ……, and we will keep spinning, wasting cpu
cycles and adding to the contention.  One possible fix is to quit
spinning and put the current thread on wait-list if mutex lock switch to
a new owner while we spin, indicating heavy contention (see the patch
included).

I did some testing on a 8 socket Nehalem-EX system with a total of 64
cores. Using Ingo's test-mutex program that creates/delete files with 256
threads (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/50) , I see the following speed up
after putting in the mutex spin fix:

 ./mutex-test V 256 10
                 Ops/sec
 2.6.34          62864
 With fix        197200

Repeating the test with Aim7 fserver workload, again there is a speed up
with the fix:

                 Jobs/min
 2.6.34          91657
 With fix        149325

To look at the impact on the distribution of mutex acquisition time, I
collected the mutex acquisition time on Aim7 fserver workload with some
instrumentation.  The average acquisition time is reduced by 48% and
number of contentions reduced by 32%.

                 #contentions    Time to acquire mutex (cycles)
 2.6.34          72973           44765791
 With fix        49210           23067129

The histogram of mutex acquisition time is listed below.  The acquisition
time is in 2^bin cycles.  We see that without the fix, the acquisition
time is mostly around 2^26 cycles.  With the fix, we the distribution get
spread out a lot more towards the lower cycles, starting from 2^13.
However, there is an increase of the tail distribution with the fix at
2^28 and 2^29 cycles.  It seems a small price to pay for the reduced
average acquisition time and also getting the cpu to do useful work.

 Mutex acquisition time distribution (acq time = 2^bin cycles):
         2.6.34                  With Fix
 bin     #occurrence     %       #occurrence     %
 11      2               0.00%   120             0.24%

 21      311             0.43%   1809            3.68%
 22      255             0.35%   2305            4.68%
 23      317             0.44%   916             1.86%
 24      610             0.84%   233             0.47%
 25      3128            4.29%   95              0.19%
 26      63902           87.69%  122             0.25%
 27      619             0.85%   286             0.58%
 28      0               0.00%   3536            7.19%
 29      0               0.00%   903             1.83%
 30      0               0.00%   0               0.00%

I've done similar experiments with 2.6.35 kernel on smaller boxes as
well.  One is on a dual-socket Westmere box (12 cores total, with HT).
Another experiment is on an old dual-socket Core 2 box (4 cores total, no
HT)

On the 12-core Westmere box, I see a 250% increase for Ingo's mutex-test
program with my mutex patch but no significant difference in aim7's
fserver workload.

On the 4-core Core 2 box, I see the difference with the patch for both
mutex-test and aim7 fserver are negligible.

So far, it seems like the patch has not caused regression on smaller
systems.

Nick Piggin [Tue, 17 Aug 2010 18:37:38 +0000 (04:37 +1000)]
fs: scale files_lock

fs: scale files_lock

Improve scalability of files_lock by adding per-cpu, per-sb files lists,
protected with an lglock. The lglock provides fast access to the per-cpu lists
to add and remove files. It also provides a snapshot of all the per-cpu lists
(although this is very slow).

One difficulty with this approach is that a file can be removed from the list
by another CPU. We must track which per-cpu list the file is on with a new
variale in the file struct (packed into a hole on 64-bit archs). Scalability
could suffer if files are frequently removed from different cpu's list.

However loads with frequent removal of files imply short interval between
adding and removing the files, and the scheduler attempts to avoid moving
processes too far away. Also, even in the case of cross-CPU removal, the
hardware has much more opportunity to parallelise cacheline transfers with N
cachelines than with 1.

A worst-case test of 1 CPU allocating files subsequently being freed by N CPUs
degenerates to contending on a single lock, which is no worse than before. When
more than one CPU are allocating files, even if they are always freed by
different CPUs, there will be more parallelism than the single-lock case.

Testing results:

On a 2 socket, 8 core opteron, I measure the number of times the lock is taken
to remove the file, the number of times it is removed by the same CPU that
added it, and the number of times it is removed by the same node that added it.

Booting:    locks=  25049 cpu-hits=  23174 (92.5%) node-hits=  23945 (95.6%)
kbuild -j16 locks=2281913 cpu-hits=2208126 (96.8%) node-hits=2252674 (98.7%)
dbench 64   locks=4306582 cpu-hits=4287247 (99.6%) node-hits=4299527 (99.8%)

So a file is removed from the same CPU it was added by over 90% of the time.
It remains within the same node 95% of the time.

Tim Chen ran some numbers for a 64 thread Nehalem system performing a compile.

So significantly less CPU time spent in kernel code, higher idle time and
slightly higher throughput.

Single threaded performance difference was within the noise of microbenchmarks.
That is not to say penalty does not exist, the code is larger and more memory

tty: fix fu_list abuse

tty: fix fu_list abuse

tty code abuses fu_list, which causes a bug in remount,ro handling.

If a tty device node is opened on a filesystem, then the last link to the inode
removed, the filesystem will be allowed to be remounted readonly. This is
because fs_may_remount_ro does not find the 0 link tty inode on the file sb
list (because the tty code incorrectly removed it to use for its own purpose).
This can result in a filesystem with errors after it is marked "clean".

Taking idea from Christoph's initial patch, allocate a tty private struct
at file->private_data and put our required list fields in there, linking
file and tty. This makes tty nodes behave the same way as other device nodes
and avoid meddling with the vfs, and avoids this bug.

The error handling is not trivial in the tty code, so for this bugfix, I take
the simple approach of using __GFP_NOFAIL and don't worry about memory errors.
This is not a problem because our allocator doesn't fail small allocs as a rule
anyway. So proper error handling is left as an exercise for tty hackers.

[ Arguably filesystem's device inode would ideally be divorced from the
driver's pseudo inode when it is opened, but in practice it's not clear whether
that will ever be worth implementing. ]

So move that update in to the top of md_update_sb (which is the only
caller of sync_sbs) before the test on ->external.

for metadata update purposes they are the same.

Clear MD_CHANGE_DEVS and MD_CHANGE_CLEAN as they can only be confusing

We don't need to keep holding the RCU read lock once we've read the UID from
the credentials as holding the RCU read lock doesn't stop the target task from

because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to

pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().

do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as

Revert "netlink: netlink_recvmsg() fix"

This reverts commit 1235f504aaba2ebeabc863fdb3ceac764a317d47.

It causes regressions worse than the problem it was trying
to fix.  Eric will try to solve the problem another way.

14 years agonilfs2: fix false warning saying one of two super blocks is broken

nilfs2: fix false warning saying one of two super blocks is broken

After applying commit b2ac86e1, the following message got appeared
after unclean shutdown:

> NILFS warning: broken superblock. using spare superblock.

This turns out to be a false message due to the change which updates
two super blocks alternately.  The secondary super block now can be
selected if it's newer than the primary one.

This kills the false warning by suppressing it if another super block
is not actually broken.

14 years agonilfs2: fix list corruption after ifile creation failure

nilfs2: fix list corruption after ifile creation failure
