[PATCH] delay accounting taskstats interface send tgid once
Send per-tgid data only once during exit of a thread group instead of once with each member thread exit. Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty. The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all *remaining* threads of the thread group. This patch modifies this sending in two ways: - the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group exits. This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats - the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed. Instead of being the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of the thread group. The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of taskstats to not be sent at all. The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours on an SMP.

To obtain statistics for tasks which are exiting, userspace opens a multicast

of atomicity).
|

|

However, maintaining per-process, in addition to per-task stats, within the
|
||||
kernel has space and time overheads. Hence the taskstats implementation
|
||||
dynamically sums up the per-task stats for each task belonging to a process
|
||||
whenever per-process stats are needed.
|
||||
kernel has space and time overheads. To address this, the taskstats code
|
||||
accumalates each exiting task's statistics into a process-wide data structure.
|
||||
When the last task of a process exits, the process level data accumalated also
|
||||
gets sent to userspace (along with the per-task data).
|
||||
|
||||
Not maintaining per-tgid stats creates a problem when userspace is interested
|
||||
in getting these stats when the process dies i.e. the last thread of
|
||||
a process exits. It isn't possible to simply return some aggregated per-process
|
||||
statistic from the kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
The approach taken by taskstats is to return the per-tgid stats *each* time
|
||||
a task exits, in addition to the per-pid stats for that task. Userspace can
|
||||
maintain task<->process mappings and use them to maintain the per-process stats
|
||||
in userspace, updating the aggregate appropriately as the tasks of a process
|
||||
exit.
|
||||
When a user queries to get per-tgid data, the sum of all other live threads in
|
||||
the group is added up and added to the accumalated total for previously exited
|
||||
threads of the same thread group.
