[PATCH v8 1/9] hugetlb_cgroup: Add hugetlb_cgroup reservation counter

From: Mina Almasry
Date: Tue Oct 29 2019 - 21:37:25 EST


These counters will track hugetlb reservations rather than hugetlb
memory faulted in. This patch only adds the counter, following patches
add the charging and uncharging of the counter.

Problem:
Currently tasks attempting to allocate more hugetlb memory than is available get
a failure at mmap/shmget time. This is thanks to Hugetlbfs Reservations [1].
However, if a task attempts to allocate hugetlb memory only more than its
hugetlb_cgroup limit allows, the kernel will allow the mmap/shmget call,
but will SIGBUS the task when it attempts to fault the memory in.

We have developers interested in using hugetlb_cgroups, and they have expressed
dissatisfaction regarding this behavior. We'd like to improve this
behavior such that tasks violating the hugetlb_cgroup limits get an error on
mmap/shmget time, rather than getting SIGBUS'd when they try to fault
the excess memory in.

The underlying problem is that today's hugetlb_cgroup accounting happens
at hugetlb memory *fault* time, rather than at *reservation* time.
Thus, enforcing the hugetlb_cgroup limit only happens at fault time, and
the offending task gets SIGBUS'd.

Proposed Solution:
A new page counter named hugetlb.xMB.reservation_[limit|usage]_in_bytes. This
counter has slightly different semantics than
hugetlb.xMB.[limit|usage]_in_bytes:

- While usage_in_bytes tracks all *faulted* hugetlb memory,
reservation_usage_in_bytes tracks all *reserved* hugetlb memory and
hugetlb memory faulted in without a prior reservation.

- If a task attempts to reserve more memory than limit_in_bytes allows,
the kernel will allow it to do so. But if a task attempts to reserve
more memory than reservation_limit_in_bytes, the kernel will fail this
reservation.

This proposal is implemented in this patch series, with tests to verify
functionality and show the usage. We also added cgroup-v2 support to
hugetlb_cgroup so that the new use cases can be extended to v2.

Alternatives considered:
1. A new cgroup, instead of only a new page_counter attached to
the existing hugetlb_cgroup. Adding a new cgroup seemed like a lot of code
duplication with hugetlb_cgroup. Keeping hugetlb related page counters under
hugetlb_cgroup seemed cleaner as well.

2. Instead of adding a new counter, we considered adding a sysctl that modifies
the behavior of hugetlb.xMB.[limit|usage]_in_bytes, to do accounting at
reservation time rather than fault time. Adding a new page_counter seems
better as userspace could, if it wants, choose to enforce different cgroups
differently: one via limit_in_bytes, and another via
reservation_limit_in_bytes. This could be very useful if you're
transitioning how hugetlb memory is partitioned on your system one
cgroup at a time, for example. Also, someone may find usage for both
limit_in_bytes and reservation_limit_in_bytes concurrently, and this
approach gives them the option to do so.

Testing:
- Added tests passing.
- libhugetlbfs tests mostly passing, but some tests have trouble with and
without this patch series. Seems environment issue rather than code:
- Overall results:
