H A D | mm_types_task.h | diff f1a7941243c102a44e8847e3b94ff4ff3ec56f25 Mon Oct 24 00:28:41 CDT 2022 Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@google.com> mm: convert mm's rss stats into percpu_counter
Currently mm_struct maintains rss_stats which are updated on page fault and the unmapping codepaths. For page fault codepath the updates are cached per thread with the batch of TASK_RSS_EVENTS_THRESH which is 64. The reason for caching is performance for multithreaded applications otherwise the rss_stats updates may become hotspot for such applications.
However this optimization comes with the cost of error margin in the rss stats. The rss_stats for applications with large number of threads can be very skewed. At worst the error margin is (nr_threads * 64) and we have a lot of applications with 100s of threads, so the error margin can be very high. Internally we had to reduce TASK_RSS_EVENTS_THRESH to 32.
Recently we started seeing the unbounded errors for rss_stats for specific applications which use TCP rx0cp. It seems like vm_insert_pages() codepath does not sync rss_stats at all.
This patch converts the rss_stats into percpu_counter to convert the error margin from (nr_threads * 64) to approximately (nr_cpus ^ 2). However this conversion enable us to get the accurate stats for situations where accuracy is more important than the cpu cost.
This patch does not make such tradeoffs - we can just use percpu_counter_add_local() for the updates and percpu_counter_sum() (or percpu_counter_sync() + percpu_counter_read) for the readers. At the moment the readers are either procfs interface, oom_killer and memory reclaim which I think are not performance critical and should be ok with slow read. However I think we can make that change in a separate patch.

UnixBench/Execl represents a class of workload where bash scripts are spawned frequently to do some short jobs. When running multiple parallel tasks, hot osq_lock is observed from do_mmap and exit_mmap. Both of them come from load_elf_binary through the call chain "execl->do_execveat_common->bprm_execve->load_elf_binary".
In do_mmap,it will call mmap_region to create vma node, initialize it and insert it to vma maintain structure in mm_struct and i_mmap tree of the mapping file, then increase map_count to record the number of vma nodes used. The hot osq_lock is to protect operations on file's i_mmap tree. For the mm_struct member change like vma insertion and map_count update, they do not affect i_mmap tree. Move those operations out of the lock's critical section, to reduce hold time on the lock.
With this change, on Intel Sapphire Rapids 112C/224T platform, based on v6.0-rc6, the 160 parallel score improves by 12%. The patch has no obvious performance gain on v6.5-rc1 due to regression of this benchmark from this commit f1a7941243c102a44e8847e3b94ff4ff3ec56f25 (mm: convert mm's rss stats into percpu_counter).
