sched/fair: Use dst group while checking imbalance for NUMA balancer

2020-10-29T09:07:15Z

[ Upstream commit 233e7aca4c8a2c764f556bba9644c36154017e7f ] Barry Song noted the following Something is wrong. In find_busiest_group(), we are checking if src has higher load, however, in task_numa_find_cpu(), we are checking if dst will have higher load after balancing. It seems it is not sensible to check src. It maybe cause wrong imbalance value, for example, if dst_running = env->dst_stats.nr_running + 1 results in 3 or above, and src_running = env->src_stats.nr_running - 1 results in 1; The current code is thinking imbalance as 0 since src_running is smaller than 2. This is inconsistent with load balancer. Basically, in find_busiest_group(), the NUMA imbalance is ignored if moving a task "from an almost idle domain" to a "domain with spare capacity". This patch forbids movement "from a misplaced domain" to "an almost idle domain" as that is closer to what the CPU load balancer expects. This patch is not a universal win. The old behaviour was intended to allow a task from an almost idle NUMA node to migrate to its preferred node if the destination had capacity but there are corner cases. For example, a NAS compute load could be parallelised to use 1/3rd of available CPUs but not all those potential tasks are active at all times allowing this logic to trigger. An obvious example is specjbb 2005 running various numbers of warehouses on a 2 socket box with 80 cpus. specjbb 5.9.0-rc4 5.9.0-rc4 vanilla dstbalance-v1r1 Hmean tput-1 46425.00 ( 0.00%) 43394.00 * -6.53%* Hmean tput-2 98416.00 ( 0.00%) 96031.00 * -2.42%* Hmean tput-3 150184.00 ( 0.00%) 148783.00 * -0.93%* Hmean tput-4 200683.00 ( 0.00%) 197906.00 * -1.38%* Hmean tput-5 236305.00 ( 0.00%) 245549.00 * 3.91%* Hmean tput-6 281559.00 ( 0.00%) 285692.00 * 1.47%* Hmean tput-7 338558.00 ( 0.00%) 334467.00 * -1.21%* Hmean tput-8 340745.00 ( 0.00%) 372501.00 * 9.32%* Hmean tput-9 424343.00 ( 0.00%) 413006.00 * -2.67%* Hmean tput-10 421854.00 ( 0.00%) 434261.00 * 2.94%* Hmean tput-11 493256.00 ( 0.00%) 485330.00 * -1.61%* Hmean tput-12 549573.00 ( 0.00%) 529959.00 * -3.57%* Hmean tput-13 593183.00 ( 0.00%) 555010.00 * -6.44%* Hmean tput-14 588252.00 ( 0.00%) 599166.00 * 1.86%* Hmean tput-15 623065.00 ( 0.00%) 642713.00 * 3.15%* Hmean tput-16 703924.00 ( 0.00%) 660758.00 * -6.13%* Hmean tput-17 666023.00 ( 0.00%) 697675.00 * 4.75%* Hmean tput-18 761502.00 ( 0.00%) 758360.00 * -0.41%* Hmean tput-19 796088.00 ( 0.00%) 798368.00 * 0.29%* Hmean tput-20 733564.00 ( 0.00%) 823086.00 * 12.20%* Hmean tput-21 840980.00 ( 0.00%) 856711.00 * 1.87%* Hmean tput-22 804285.00 ( 0.00%) 872238.00 * 8.45%* Hmean tput-23 795208.00 ( 0.00%) 889374.00 * 11.84%* Hmean tput-24 848619.00 ( 0.00%) 966783.00 * 13.92%* Hmean tput-25 750848.00 ( 0.00%) 903790.00 * 20.37%* Hmean tput-26 780523.00 ( 0.00%) 962254.00 * 23.28%* Hmean tput-27 1042245.00 ( 0.00%) 991544.00 * -4.86%* Hmean tput-28 1090580.00 ( 0.00%) 1035926.00 * -5.01%* Hmean tput-29 999483.00 ( 0.00%) 1082948.00 * 8.35%* Hmean tput-30 1098663.00 ( 0.00%) 1113427.00 * 1.34%* Hmean tput-31 1125671.00 ( 0.00%) 1134175.00 * 0.76%* Hmean tput-32 968167.00 ( 0.00%) 1250286.00 * 29.14%* Hmean tput-33 1077676.00 ( 0.00%) 1060893.00 * -1.56%* Hmean tput-34 1090538.00 ( 0.00%) 1090933.00 * 0.04%* Hmean tput-35 967058.00 ( 0.00%) 1107421.00 * 14.51%* Hmean tput-36 1051745.00 ( 0.00%) 1210663.00 * 15.11%* Hmean tput-37 1019465.00 ( 0.00%) 1351446.00 * 32.56%* Hmean tput-38 1083102.00 ( 0.00%) 1064541.00 * -1.71%* Hmean tput-39 1232990.00 ( 0.00%) 1303623.00 * 5.73%* Hmean tput-40 1175542.00 ( 0.00%) 1340943.00 * 14.07%* Hmean tput-41 1127826.00 ( 0.00%) 1339492.00 * 18.77%* Hmean tput-42 1198313.00 ( 0.00%) 1411023.00 * 17.75%* Hmean tput-43 1163733.00 ( 0.00%) 1228253.00 * 5.54%* Hmean tput-44 1305562.00 ( 0.00%) 1357886.00 * 4.01%* Hmean tput-45 1326752.00 ( 0.00%) 1406061.00 * 5.98%* Hmean tput-46 1339424.00 ( 0.00%) 1418451.00 * 5.90%* Hmean tput-47 1415057.00 ( 0.00%) 1381570.00 * -2.37%* Hmean tput-48 1392003.00 ( 0.00%) 1421167.00 * 2.10%* Hmean tput-49 1408374.00 ( 0.00%) 1418659.00 * 0.73%* Hmean tput-50 1359822.00 ( 0.00%) 1391070.00 * 2.30%* Hmean tput-51 1414246.00 ( 0.00%) 1392679.00 * -1.52%* Hmean tput-52 1432352.00 ( 0.00%) 1354020.00 * -5.47%* Hmean tput-53 1387563.00 ( 0.00%) 1409563.00 * 1.59%* Hmean tput-54 1406420.00 ( 0.00%) 1388711.00 * -1.26%* Hmean tput-55 1438804.00 ( 0.00%) 1387472.00 * -3.57%* Hmean tput-56 1399465.00 ( 0.00%) 1400296.00 * 0.06%* Hmean tput-57 1428132.00 ( 0.00%) 1396399.00 * -2.22%* Hmean tput-58 1432385.00 ( 0.00%) 1386253.00 * -3.22%* Hmean tput-59 1421612.00 ( 0.00%) 1371416.00 * -3.53%* Hmean tput-60 1429423.00 ( 0.00%) 1389412.00 * -2.80%* Hmean tput-61 1396230.00 ( 0.00%) 1351122.00 * -3.23%* Hmean tput-62 1418396.00 ( 0.00%) 1383098.00 * -2.49%* Hmean tput-63 1409918.00 ( 0.00%) 1374662.00 * -2.50%* Hmean tput-64 1410236.00 ( 0.00%) 1376216.00 * -2.41%* Hmean tput-65 1396405.00 ( 0.00%) 1364418.00 * -2.29%* Hmean tput-66 1395975.00 ( 0.00%) 1357326.00 * -2.77%* Hmean tput-67 1392986.00 ( 0.00%) 1349642.00 * -3.11%* Hmean tput-68 1386541.00 ( 0.00%) 1343261.00 * -3.12%* Hmean tput-69 1374407.00 ( 0.00%) 1342588.00 * -2.32%* Hmean tput-70 1377513.00 ( 0.00%) 1334654.00 * -3.11%* Hmean tput-71 1369319.00 ( 0.00%) 1334952.00 * -2.51%* Hmean tput-72 1354635.00 ( 0.00%) 1329005.00 * -1.89%* Hmean tput-73 1350933.00 ( 0.00%) 1318942.00 * -2.37%* Hmean tput-74 1351714.00 ( 0.00%) 1316347.00 * -2.62%* Hmean tput-75 1352198.00 ( 0.00%) 1309974.00 * -3.12%* Hmean tput-76 1349490.00 ( 0.00%) 1286064.00 * -4.70%* Hmean tput-77 1336131.00 ( 0.00%) 1303684.00 * -2.43%* Hmean tput-78 1308896.00 ( 0.00%) 1271024.00 * -2.89%* Hmean tput-79 1326703.00 ( 0.00%) 1290862.00 * -2.70%* Hmean tput-80 1336199.00 ( 0.00%) 1291629.00 * -3.34%* The performance at the mid-point is better but not universally better. The patch is a mixed bag depending on the workload, machine and overall levels of utilisation. Sometimes it's better (sometimes much better), other times it is worse (sometimes much worse). Given that there isn't a universally good decision in this section and more people seem to prefer the patch then it may be best to keep the LB decisions consistent and revisit imbalance handling when the load balancer code changes settle down. Jirka Hladky added the following observation. Our results are mostly in line with what you see. We observe big gains (20-50%) when the system is loaded to 1/3 of the maximum capacity and mixed results at the full load - some workloads benefit from the patch at the full load, others not, but performance changes at the full load are mostly within the noise of results (+/-5%). Overall, we think this patch is helpful.

sched/fair: Fix wrong cpu selecting from isolated domain

2020-10-29T09:07:15Z

[ Upstream commit df3cb4ea1fb63ff326488efd671ba3c39034255e ] We've met problems that occasionally tasks with full cpumask (e.g. by putting it into a cpuset or setting to full affinity) were migrated to our isolated cpus in production environment. After some analysis, we found that it is due to the current select_idle_smt() not considering the sched_domain mask. Steps to reproduce on my 31-CPU hyperthreads machine: 1. with boot parameter: "isolcpus=domain,2-31" (thread lists: 0,16 and 1,17) 2. cgcreate -g cpu:test; cgexec -g cpu:test "test_threads" 3. some threads will be migrated to the isolated cpu16~17. Fix it by checking the valid domain mask in select_idle_smt().

sched/fair: Fix wrong negative conversion in find_energy_efficient_cpu()

2020-10-29T09:07:13Z

[ Upstream commit da0777d35f47892f359c3f73ea155870bb595700 ] In find_energy_efficient_cpu() 'cpu_cap' could be less that 'util'. It might be because of RT, DL (so higher sched class than CFS), irq or thermal pressure signal, which reduce the capacity value. In such situation the result of 'cpu_cap - util' might be negative but stored in the unsigned long. Then it might be compared with other unsigned long when uclamp_rq_util_with() reduced the 'util' such that is passes the fits_capacity() check. Prevent this situation and make the arithmetic more safe.

sched/fair: Fix NOHZ next idle balance

Move the update of nohz.next_balance for other idles cpus before balancing and updating the next_balance of local cfs_rq. Also, the nohz.next_balance is now updated only if all idle cpus got a chance to rebalance their domains and the idle balance has not been aborted because of new activities on the CPU. In case of need_resched, the idle load balance will be kick the next jiffie in order to address remaining ilb.

sched/fair: handle case of task_h_load() returning 0

2020-07-16T21:19:48Z

task_h_load() can return 0 in some situations like running stress-ng mmapfork, which forks thousands of threads, in a sched group on a 224 cores system. The load balance doesn't handle this correctly because env->imbalance never decreases and it will stop pulling tasks only after reaching loop_max, which can be equal to the number of running tasks of the cfs. Make sure that imbalance will be decreased by at least 1. misfit task is the other feature that doesn't handle correctly such situation although it's probably more difficult to face the problem because of the smaller number of CPUs and running tasks on heterogenous system. We can't simply ensure that task_h_load() returns at least one because it would imply to handle underflow in other places.

sched/cfs: change initial value of runnable_avg

2020-06-28T15:01:20Z

Some performance regression on reaim benchmark have been raised with commit 070f5e860ee2 ("sched/fair: Take into account runnable_avg to classify group") The problem comes from the init value of runnable_avg which is initialized with max value. This can be a problem if the newly forked task is finally a short task because the group of CPUs is wrongly set to overloaded and tasks are pulled less agressively. Set initial value of runnable_avg equals to util_avg to reflect that there is no waiting time so far.
