2008-07-25per-task-delay-accounting: add memory reclaim delayKeika Kobayashi
Sometimes, application responses become bad under heavy memory load. Applications take a bit time to reclaim memory. The statistics, how long memory reclaim takes, will be useful to measure memory usage. This patch adds accounting memory reclaim to per-task-delay-accounting for accounting the time of do_try_to_free_pages(). <i.e> - When System is under low memory load, memory reclaim may not occur. $ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 8197800 1577300 6620500 0 4808 1516724 -/+ buffers/cache: 55768 8142032 Swap: 16386292 0 16386292 $ vmstat 1 procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 0 0 5069748 10612 3014060 0 0 0 0 3 26 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 5069748 10612 3014060 0 0 0 0 4 22 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 5069748 10612 3014060 0 0 0 0 3 18 0 0 100 0 Measure the time of tar command. $ ls -s test.dat 1501472 test.dat $ time tar cvf test.tar test.dat real 0m13.388s user 0m0.116s sys 0m5.304s $ ./delayget -d -p <pid> CPU count real total virtual total delay total 428 5528345500 5477116080 62749891 IO count delay total 338 8078977189 SWAP count delay total 0 0 RECLAIM count delay total 0 0 - When system is under heavy memory load memory reclaim may occur. $ vmstat 1 procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 0 7159032 49724 1812 3012 0 0 0 0 3 24 0 0 100 0 0 0 7159032 49724 1812 3012 0 0 0 0 4 24 0 0 100 0 0 0 7159032 49848 1812 3012 0 0 0 0 3 22 0 0 100 0 In this case, one process uses more 8G memory by execution of malloc() and memset(). $ time tar cvf test.tar test.dat real 1m38.563s <- increased by 85 sec user 0m0.140s sys 0m7.060s $ ./delayget -d -p <pid> CPU count real total virtual total delay total 9021 7140446250 7315277975 923201824 IO count delay total 8965 90466349669 SWAP count delay total 3 21036367 RECLAIM count delay total 740 61011951153 In the later case, the value of RECLAIM is increasing.

2007-10-18Add scaled time to taskstats based process accountingMichael Neuling
This adds items to the taststats struct to account for user and system time based on scaling the CPU frequency and instruction issue rates. Adds account_(user|system)_time_scaled callbacks which architectures can use to account for time using this mechanism.

2007-05-07KMEM_CACHE(): simplify slab cache creationChristoph Lameter
This patch provides a new macro KMEM_CACHE(<struct>, <flags>) to simplify slab creation. KMEM_CACHE creates a slab with the name of the struct, with the size of the struct and with the alignment of the struct. Additional slab flags may be specified if necessary. Example struct test_slab { int a,b,c; struct list_head; } __cacheline_aligned_in_smp; test_slab_cache = KMEM_CACHE(test_slab, SLAB_PANIC) will create a new slab named "test_slab" of the size sizeof(struct test_slab) and aligned to the alignment of test slab. If it fails then we panic. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2006-09-01[PATCH] task delay accounting fixesShailabh Nagar
Cleanup allocation and freeing of tsk->delays used by delay accounting. This solves two problems reported for delay accounting: 1. oops in __delayacct_blkio_ticks http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1844.html Currently tsk->delays is getting freed too early in task exit which can cause a NULL tsk->delays to get accessed via reading of /proc/<tgid>/stats. The patch fixes this problem by freeing tsk->delays closer to when task_struct itself is freed up. As a result, it also eliminates the use of tsk->delays_lock which was only being used (inadequately) to safeguard access to tsk->delays while a task was exiting. 2. Possible memory leak in kernel/delayacct.c http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1389.html The patch cleans up tsk->delays allocations after a bad fork which was missing earlier. The patch has been tested to fix the problems listed above and stress tested with rapid calls to delay accounting's taskstats command interface (which is the other path that can access the same data, besides the /proc interface causing the oops above).

2006-07-31[PATCH] delay accounting: temporarily enable by defaultShailabh Nagar
Enable delay accounting by default so that feature gets coverage testing without requiring special measures. Earlier, it was off by default and had to be enabled via a boot time param. This patch reverses the default behaviour to improve coverage testing. It can be removed late in the kernel development cycle if its believed users shouldn't have to incur any cost if they don't want delay accounting. Or it can be retained forever if the utility of the stats is deemed common enough to warrant keeping the feature on.

2006-07-14[PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: sync block I/O and swapin delay collectionShailabh Nagar
Unlike earlier iterations of the delay accounting patches, now delays are only collected for the actual I/O waits rather than try and cover the delays seen in I/O submission paths. Account separately for block I/O delays incurred as a result of swapin page faults whose frequency can be affected by the task/process' rss limit. Hence swapin delays can act as feedback for rss limit changes independent of I/O priority changes.

2006-07-14[PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: setupShailabh Nagar
Initialization code related to collection of per-task "delay" statistics which measure how long it had to wait for cpu, sync block io, swapping etc. The collection of statistics and the interface are in other patches. This patch sets up the data structures and allows the statistics collection to be disabled through a kernel boot parameter.
