docs: cgroup-v1: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
Convert the cgroup-v1 files to ReST format, in order to allow a later addition to the admin-guide. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

it, its properties. By writing to these files you can manipulate
|
||||
the cpuset.
|
||||
|
||||
Set some flags:
|
||||
# /bin/echo 1 > cpuset.cpu_exclusive
|
||||
Set some flags::
|
||||
|
||||
Add some cpus:
|
||||
# /bin/echo 0-7 > cpuset.cpus
|
||||
# /bin/echo 1 > cpuset.cpu_exclusive
|
||||
|
||||
Add some mems:
|
||||
# /bin/echo 0-7 > cpuset.mems
|
||||
Add some cpus::
|
||||
|
||||
Now attach your shell to this cpuset:
|
||||
# /bin/echo $$ > tasks
|
||||
# /bin/echo 0-7 > cpuset.cpus
|
||||
|
||||
Add some mems::
|
||||
|
||||
# /bin/echo 0-7 > cpuset.mems
|
||||
|
||||
Now attach your shell to this cpuset::
|
||||
|
||||
# /bin/echo $$ > tasks
|
||||
|
||||
You can also create cpusets inside your cpuset by using mkdir in this
|
||||
directory.
|
||||
# mkdir my_sub_cs
|
||||
directory::
|
||||
|
||||
# mkdir my_sub_cs
|
||||
|
||||
To remove a cpuset, just use rmdir::
|
||||
|
||||
# rmdir my_sub_cs
|
||||
|
||||
To remove a cpuset, just use rmdir:
|
||||
# rmdir my_sub_cs
|
||||
This will fail if the cpuset is in use (has cpusets inside, or has
|
||||
processes attached).
|
||||

||||
Note that for legacy reasons, the "cpuset" filesystem exists as a
|
||||
wrapper around the cgroup filesystem.

|
||||
mount -t cgroup -ocpuset,noprefix X /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset
|
||||
echo "/sbin/cpuset_release_agent" > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/release_agent
|
||||
|
||||
2.2 Adding/removing cpus
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is the syntax to use when writing in the cpus or mems files
|
||||
in cpuset directories:
|
||||
in cpuset directories::
|
||||
|
||||
# /bin/echo 1-4 > cpuset.cpus -> set cpus list to cpus 1,2,3,4
|
||||
# /bin/echo 1,2,3,4 > cpuset.cpus -> set cpus list to cpus 1,2,3,4
|
||||
# /bin/echo 1-4 > cpuset.cpus -> set cpus list to cpus 1,2,3,4
|
||||
# /bin/echo 1,2,3,4 > cpuset.cpus -> set cpus list to cpus 1,2,3,4
|
||||
|
||||
To add a CPU to a cpuset, write the new list of CPUs including the
|
||||
CPU to be added. To add 6 to the above cpuset:
|
||||
CPU to be added. To add 6 to the above cpuset::
|
||||
|
||||
# /bin/echo 1-4,6 > cpuset.cpus -> set cpus list to cpus 1,2,3,4,6
|
||||
# /bin/echo 1-4,6 > cpuset.cpus -> set cpus list to cpus 1,2,3,4,6
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly to remove a CPU from a cpuset, write the new list of CPUs
|
||||
without the CPU to be removed.
|
||||
|
||||
To remove all the CPUs:
|
||||
To remove all the CPUs::
|
||||
|
||||
# /bin/echo "" > cpuset.cpus -> clear cpus list
|
||||
# /bin/echo "" > cpuset.cpus -> clear cpus list
|
||||
|
||||
2.3 Setting flags
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The syntax is very simple:
|
||||
The syntax is very simple::
|
||||
|
||||
# /bin/echo 1 > cpuset.cpu_exclusive -> set flag 'cpuset.cpu_exclusive'
|
||||
# /bin/echo 0 > cpuset.cpu_exclusive -> unset flag 'cpuset.cpu_exclusive'
|
||||
# /bin/echo 1 > cpuset.cpu_exclusive -> set flag 'cpuset.cpu_exclusive'
|
||||
# /bin/echo 0 > cpuset.cpu_exclusive -> unset flag 'cpuset.cpu_exclusive'
|
||||
|
||||
2.4 Attaching processes
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
# /bin/echo PID > tasks
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
# /bin/echo PID > tasks
|
||||
|
||||
Note that it is PID, not PIDs. You can only attach ONE task at a time.
|
||||
If you have several tasks to attach, you have to do it one after another:
|
||||
If you have several tasks to attach, you have to do it one after another::
|

6. Shmem(tmpfs) Page Cache
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to understand shmem's page state transition is to read
|
||||
mm/shmem.c.
|
||||
|
||||
But brief explanation of the behavior of memcg around shmem will be
|
||||
helpful to understand the logic.
|
||||
|
||||
Shmem's page (just leaf page, not direct/indirect block) can be on
|
||||
|
||||
- radix-tree of shmem's inode.
|
||||
- SwapCache.
|
||||
- Both on radix-tree and SwapCache. This happens at swap-in
|
||||
and swap-out,
|
||||
|
||||
It's charged when...
|
||||
|
||||
- A new page is added to shmem's radix-tree.
|
||||
- A swp page is read. (move a charge from swap_cgroup to page_cgroup)
|
||||

||||

||||

||||
|
||||
8. LRU
|
||||
======
|
||||
Each memcg has its own private LRU. Now, its handling is under global
|
||||
VM's control (means that it's handled under global pgdat->lru_lock).
|
||||
Almost all routines around memcg's LRU is called by global LRU's

|
|||
A special function is mem_cgroup_isolate_pages(). This scans
|
||||
memcg's private LRU and call __isolate_lru_page() to extract a page
|
||||
from LRU.
|
||||
|
||||
(By __isolate_lru_page(), the page is removed from both of global and
|
||||
private LRU.)

9. Typical Tests.
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
Tests for racy cases.
|
||||
|
||||
9.1 Small limit to memcg.
|
||||
9.1 Small limit to memcg.
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
When you do test to do racy case, it's good test to set memcg's limit
|
||||
to be very small rather than GB. Many races found in the test under
|
||||
xKB or xxMB limits.
|
||||
(Memory behavior under GB and Memory behavior under MB shows very
|
||||
different situation.)
|
||||
|
||||
9.2 Shmem
|
||||
(Memory behavior under GB and Memory behavior under MB shows very
|
||||
different situation.)
|
||||
|
||||
9.2 Shmem
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
Historically, memcg's shmem handling was poor and we saw some amount
|
||||
of troubles here. This is because shmem is page-cache but can be
|
||||
SwapCache. Test with shmem/tmpfs is always good test.
|
||||
|
||||
9.3 Migration
|
||||
9.3 Migration
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
For NUMA, migration is an another special case. To do easy test, cpuset
|
||||
is useful. Following is a sample script to do migration.
|
||||
is useful. Following is a sample script to do migration::
|
||||
|
||||
mount -t cgroup -o cpuset none /opt/cpuset
|
||||
mount -t cgroup -o cpuset none /opt/cpuset
|
||||
|
||||
mkdir /opt/cpuset/01
|
||||
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/01/cpuset.cpus
|
||||
echo 0 > /opt/cpuset/01/cpuset.mems
|
||||
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/01/cpuset.memory_migrate
|
||||
mkdir /opt/cpuset/02
|
||||
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/02/cpuset.cpus
|
||||
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/02/cpuset.mems
|
||||
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/02/cpuset.memory_migrate
|
||||
mkdir /opt/cpuset/01
|
||||
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/01/cpuset.cpus
|
||||
echo 0 > /opt/cpuset/01/cpuset.mems
|
||||
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/01/cpuset.memory_migrate
|
||||
mkdir /opt/cpuset/02
|
||||
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/02/cpuset.cpus
|
||||
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/02/cpuset.mems
|
||||
echo 1 > /opt/cpuset/02/cpuset.memory_migrate
|
||||
|
||||
In above set, when you moves a task from 01 to 02, page migration to
|
||||
node 0 to node 1 will occur. Following is a script to migrate all
|
||||
under cpuset.
|
||||
--
|
||||
move_task()
|
||||
{
|
||||
for pid in $1
|
||||
do
|
||||
/bin/echo $pid >$2/tasks 2>/dev/null
|
||||
echo -n $pid
|
||||
echo -n " "
|
||||
done
|
||||
echo END
|
||||
}
|
||||
under cpuset.::
|
||||
|
||||
--
|
||||
move_task()
|
||||
{
|
||||
for pid in $1
|
||||
do
|
||||
/bin/echo $pid >$2/tasks 2>/dev/null
|
||||
echo -n $pid
|
||||
echo -n " "
|
||||
done
|
||||
echo END
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
G1_TASK=`cat ${G1}/tasks`
|
||||
G2_TASK=`cat ${G2}/tasks`
|
||||
move_task "${G1_TASK}" ${G2} &
|
||||
--
|
||||
|
||||
9.4 Memory hotplug
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
G1_TASK=`cat ${G1}/tasks`
|
||||
G2_TASK=`cat ${G2}/tasks`
|
||||
move_task "${G1_TASK}" ${G2} &
|
||||
--
|
||||
9.4 Memory hotplug.
|
||||
memory hotplug test is one of good test.
|
||||
to offline memory, do following.
|
||||
# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state
|
||||
|
||||
to offline memory, do following::
|
||||
|
||||
# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state
|
||||
|
||||
(XXX is the place of memory)
|
||||
|
||||
This is an easy way to test page migration, too.
|
||||
|
||||
9.5 mkdir/rmdir
|
||||
9.5 mkdir/rmdir
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
When using hierarchy, mkdir/rmdir test should be done.
|
||||
Use tests like the following.
|
||||
Use tests like the following::
|
||||
|
||||
echo 1 >/opt/cgroup/01/memory/use_hierarchy
|
||||
mkdir /opt/cgroup/01/child_a
|
||||
mkdir /opt/cgroup/01/child_b
|
||||
echo 1 >/opt/cgroup/01/memory/use_hierarchy
|
||||
mkdir /opt/cgroup/01/child_a
|
||||
mkdir /opt/cgroup/01/child_b
|
||||
|
||||
set limit to 01.
|
||||
add limit to 01/child_b
|
||||
run jobs under child_a and child_b
|
||||
set limit to 01.
|
||||
add limit to 01/child_b
|
||||
run jobs under child_a and child_b
|
||||
|
||||
create/delete following groups at random while jobs are running.
|
||||
/opt/cgroup/01/child_a/child_aa
|
||||
/opt/cgroup/01/child_b/child_bb
|
||||
/opt/cgroup/01/child_c
|
||||
create/delete following groups at random while jobs are running::
|
||||
|
||||
/opt/cgroup/01/child_a/child_aa
|
||||
/opt/cgroup/01/child_b/child_bb
|
||||
/opt/cgroup/01/child_c
|
||||
|
||||
running new jobs in new group is also good.
|
||||
|
||||
9.6 Mount with other subsystems.
|
||||
9.6 Mount with other subsystems
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Mounting with other subsystems is a good test because there is a
|
||||
race and lock dependency with other cgroup subsystems.
|
||||
|
||||
example)
|
||||
# mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -o cpuset,memory,cpu,devices
|
||||
example::
|
||||
|
||||
# mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -o cpuset,memory,cpu,devices
|
||||
|
||||
and do task move, mkdir, rmdir etc...under this.
|
||||
|
||||
9.7 swapoff.
|
||||
9.7 swapoff
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
Besides management of swap is one of complicated parts of memcg,
|
||||
call path of swap-in at swapoff is not same as usual swap-in path..
|
||||
It's worth to be tested explicitly.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, test like following is good.
|
||||
(Shell-A)
|
||||
# mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -o memory
|
||||
# mkdir /cgroup/test
|
||||
# echo 40M > /cgroup/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
|
||||
# echo 0 > /cgroup/test/tasks
|
||||
For example, test like following is good:
|
||||
|
||||
(Shell-A)::
|
||||
|
||||
# mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -o memory
|
||||
# mkdir /cgroup/test
|
||||
# echo 40M > /cgroup/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
|
||||
# echo 0 > /cgroup/test/tasks
|
||||
|
||||
Run malloc(100M) program under this. You'll see 60M of swaps.
|
||||
(Shell-B)
|
||||
# move all tasks in /cgroup/test to /cgroup
|
||||
# /sbin/swapoff -a
|
||||
# rmdir /cgroup/test
|
||||
# kill malloc task.
|
||||
|
||||
(Shell-B)::
|
||||
|
||||
# move all tasks in /cgroup/test to /cgroup
|
||||
# /sbin/swapoff -a
|
||||
# rmdir /cgroup/test
|
||||
# kill malloc task.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, tmpfs v.s. swapoff test should be tested, too.
|
||||
|
||||
9.8 OOM-Killer
|
||||
9.8 OOM-Killer
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
Out-of-memory caused by memcg's limit will kill tasks under
|
||||
the memcg. When hierarchy is used, a task under hierarchy
|
||||
will be killed by the kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
In this case, panic_on_oom shouldn't be invoked and tasks
|
||||
in other groups shouldn't be killed.
|
||||
|
||||
It's not difficult to cause OOM under memcg as following.
|
||||
Case A) when you can swapoff
|
||||
#swapoff -a
|
||||
#echo 50M > /memory.limit_in_bytes
|
||||
|
||||
Case A) when you can swapoff::
|
||||
|
||||
#swapoff -a
|
||||
#echo 50M > /memory.limit_in_bytes
|
||||
|
||||
run 51M of malloc
|
||||
|
||||
Case B) when you use mem+swap limitation.
|
||||
#echo 50M > memory.limit_in_bytes
|
||||
#echo 50M > memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes
|
||||
Case B) when you use mem+swap limitation::
|
||||
|
||||
#echo 50M > memory.limit_in_bytes
|
||||
#echo 50M > memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes
|
||||
|
||||
run 51M of malloc
|
||||
|
||||
9.9 Move charges at task migration
|
||||
9.9 Move charges at task migration
|
||||
----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Charges associated with a task can be moved along with task migration.
|
||||
|
||||
(Shell-A)
|
||||
#mkdir /cgroup/A
|
||||
#echo $$ >/cgroup/A/tasks
|
||||
(Shell-A)::
|
||||
|
||||
#mkdir /cgroup/A
|
||||
#echo $$ >/cgroup/A/tasks
|
||||
|
||||
run some programs which uses some amount of memory in /cgroup/A.
|
||||
|
||||
(Shell-B)
|
||||
#mkdir /cgroup/B
|
||||
#echo 1 >/cgroup/B/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate
|
||||
#echo "pid of the program running in group A" >/cgroup/B/tasks
|
||||
(Shell-B)::
|
||||
|
||||
You can see charges have been moved by reading *.usage_in_bytes or
|
||||
#mkdir /cgroup/B
|
||||
#echo 1 >/cgroup/B/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate
|
||||
#echo "pid of the program running in group A" >/cgroup/B/tasks
|
||||
|
||||
You can see charges have been moved by reading ``*.usage_in_bytes`` or
|
||||
memory.stat of both A and B.
|
||||
See 8.2 of Documentation/cgroup-v1/memory.txt to see what value should be
|
||||
written to move_charge_at_immigrate.

9.10 Memory thresholds
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Memory controller implements memory thresholds using cgroups notification
|
||||
API. You can use tools/cgroup/cgroup_event_listener.c to test it.
|
||||
|
||||
(Shell-A) Create cgroup and run event listener
|
||||
# mkdir /cgroup/A
|
||||
# ./cgroup_event_listener /cgroup/A/memory.usage_in_bytes 5M
|
||||
(Shell-A) Create cgroup and run event listener::
|
||||
|
||||
(Shell-B) Add task to cgroup and try to allocate and free memory
|
||||
# echo $$ >/cgroup/A/tasks
|
||||
# a="$(dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=10)"
|
||||
# a=
|
||||
# mkdir /cgroup/A
|
||||
# ./cgroup_event_listener /cgroup/A/memory.usage_in_bytes 5M
|
||||
|
||||
(Shell-B) Add task to cgroup and try to allocate and free memory::
|
||||
|
||||
# echo $$ >/cgroup/A/tasks
|
||||
# a="$(dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=10)"
|
||||
# a=
|
||||
|
||||
You will see message from cgroup_event_listener every time you cross
|
||||
the thresholds.

||||
Because the "kmem" counter is fed to the main user counter, kernel memory can

||||
never be limited completely independently of user memory. Say "U" is the user
|
||||
limit, and "K" the kernel limit. There are three possible ways limits can be

||||
set:

||||
U != 0, K = unlimited:

U != 0, K = unlimited:

||||

||||

|
||||
U != 0, K < U:
|
||||

# mount -t cgroup -o pids none /sys/fs/cgroup/pids
|
||||
First, we mount the pids controller::
|
||||
|
||||
Then we create a hierarchy, set limits and attach processes to it:
|
||||
# mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/pids/parent/child
|
||||
# echo 2 > /sys/fs/cgroup/pids/parent/pids.max
|
||||
# echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/pids/parent/cgroup.procs
|
||||
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/pids/parent/pids.current
|
||||
2
|
||||
#
|
||||
# mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/pids
|
||||
# mount -t cgroup -o pids none /sys/fs/cgroup/pids
|
||||
|
||||
Then we create a hierarchy, set limits and attach processes to it::
|
||||
|
||||
# mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/pids/parent/child
|
||||
# echo 2 > /sys/fs/cgroup/pids/parent/pids.max
|
||||
# echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/pids/parent/cgroup.procs
|
||||
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/pids/parent/pids.current
|
||||
2
|
||||
#
|
||||
|
||||
It should be noted that attempts to overcome the set limit (2 in this case) will
|
||||
fail:
|
||||
fail::
|
||||
|
||||
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/pids/parent/pids.current
|
||||
2
|
||||
# ( /bin/echo "Here's some processes for you." | cat )
|

||||
# ( /bin/echo "Here's some processes for you." | cat )
|
||||
sh: fork: Resource temporary unavailable
|
||||
#
|
||||
|
||||
Even if we migrate to a child cgroup (which doesn't have a set limit), we will
|
||||
not be able to overcome the most stringent limit in the hierarchy (in this case,
|
||||
parent's):
|
||||
parent's)::
|
||||
|
||||
# echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/pids/parent/child/cgroup.procs
|
||||
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/pids/parent/pids.current

|

|

|
||||
# ( /bin/echo "Here's some processes for you." | cat )
|

# ( /bin/echo "Here's some processes for you." | cat )
|

sh: fork: Resource temporary unavailable
|
||||

|
||||
We can set a limit that is smaller than pids.current, which will stop any new
|
||||
processes from being forked at all (note that the shell itself counts towards
|
||||
pids.current):
|
||||
pids.current)::
