Commit Message

Tejun Heo March 17, 2023, 9:33 p.m. UTC
Add sched_ext_ops operations to init/exit cgroups, and track task migrations
and config changes. Because different BPF schedulers may implement different
subsets of CPU control features, allow BPF schedulers to pick which cgroup
interface files to enable using SCX_OPS_CGROUP_KNOB_* flags. For now, only
the weight knobs are supported but adding more should be straightforward.

While a BPF scheduler is being enabled and disabled, relevant cgroup
operations are locked out using scx_cgroup_rwsem. This avoids situations
like task prep taking place while the task is being moved across cgroups,
making things easier for BPF schedulers.

This patch also adds scx_example_pair which implements a variant of core
scheduling where a hyperthread pair only run tasks from the same cgroup. The
BPF scheduler achieves this by putting tasks into per-cgroup queues,
time-slicing the cgroup to run for each pair first, and then scheduling
within the cgroup. See the header comment in scx_example_pair.bpf.c for more
details.

Note that scx_example_pair's cgroup-boundary guarantee breaks down for tasks
running in higher priority scheduler classes. This will be addressed by a
followup patch which implements a mechanism to track CPU preemption.

v3: * Make scx_example_pair switch all tasks by default.

    * Convert to BPF inline iterators.

    * scx_bpf_task_cgroup() is added to determine the current cgroup from
      CPU controller's POV. This allows BPF schedulers to accurately track
      CPU cgroup membership.

    * scx_exampl_flatcg added. This demonstrates flattened hierarchy
      implementation of CPU cgroup control and shows significant performance
      improvement when cgroups which are nested multiple levels are under
      competition.

v2: * Build fixes for different CONFIG combinations.

Oops, thanks for spotting that. Will fix.

+ * A demo sched_ext flattened cgroup hierarchy scheduler. It implements
+ * hierarchical weight-based cgroup CPU control by flattening the cgroup
+ * hierarchy into a single layer by compounding the active weight share at each
+ * level. Consider the following hierarchy with weights in parentheses:
+ *
+ * R + A (100) + B (100)
+ *   |         \ C (100)
+ *   \ D (200)
+ *
+ * Ignoring the root and threaded cgroups, only B, C and D can contain tasks.
+ * Let's say all three have runnable tasks. The total share that each of these
+ * three cgroups is entitled to can be calculated by compounding its share at
+ * each level.
+ *
+ * For example, B is competing against C and in that competition its share is
+ * 100/(100+100) == 1/2. At its parent level, A is competing against D and A's
+ * share in that competition is 200/(200+100) == 1/3. B's eventual share in the
+ * system can be calculated by multiplying the two shares, 1/2 * 1/3 == 1/6. C's
+ * eventual shaer is the same at 1/6. D is only competing at the top level and
+ * its share is 200/(100+200) == 2/3.
+ *
+ * So, instead of hierarchically scheduling level-by-level, we can consider it
+ * as B, C and D competing each other with respective share of 1/6, 1/6 and 2/3
+ * and keep updating the eventual shares as the cgroups' runnable states change.
+ *
+ * This flattening of hierarchy can bring a substantial performance gain when
+ * the cgroup hierarchy is nested multiple levels. in a simple benchmark using
+ * wrk[8] on apache serving a CGI script calculating sha1sum of a small file, it
+ * outperforms CFS by ~3% with CPU controller disabled and by ~10% with two
+ * apache instances competing with 2:1 weight ratio nested four level deep.
+ *
+ * However, the gain comes at the cost of not being able to properly handle
+ * thundering herd of cgroups. For example, if many cgroups which are nested
+ * behind a low priority parent cgroup wake up around the same time, they may be
+ * able to consume more CPU cycles than they are entitled to. In many use cases,
+ * this isn't a real concern especially given the performance gain. Also, there
+ * are ways to mitigate the problem further by e.g. introducing an extra
+ * scheduling layer on cgroup delegation boundaries.

+ * A demo sched_ext core-scheduler which always makes every sibling CPU pair
+ * execute from the same CPU cgroup.
+ *
+ * This scheduler is a minimal implementation and would need some form of
+ * priority handling both inside each cgroup and across the cgroups to be
+ * practically useful.
+ *
+ * Each CPU in the system is paired with exactly one other CPU, according to a
+ * "stride" value that can be specified when the BPF scheduler program is first
+ * loaded. Throughout the runtime of the scheduler, these CPU pairs guarantee
+ * that they will only ever schedule tasks that belong to the same CPU cgroup.
+ *
+ * Scheduler Initialization
+ * ------------------------
+ *
+ * The scheduler BPF program is first initialized from user space, before it is
+ * enabled. During this initialization process, each CPU on the system is
+ * assigned several values that are constant throughout its runtime:
+ *
+ * 1. *Pair CPU*: The CPU that it synchronizes with when making scheduling
+ *		  decisions. Paired CPUs always schedule tasks from the same
+ *		  CPU cgroup, and synchronize with each other to guarantee
+ *		  that this constraint is not violated.
+ * 2. *Pair ID*:  Each CPU pair is assigned a Pair ID, which is used to access
+ *		  a struct pair_ctx object that is shared between the pair.
+ * 3. *In-pair-index*: An index, 0 or 1, that is assigned to each core in the
+ *		       pair. Each struct pair_ctx has an active_mask field,
+ *		       which is a bitmap used to indicate whether each core
+ *		       in the pair currently has an actively running task.
+ *		       This index specifies which entry in the bitmap corresponds
+ *		       to each CPU in the pair.
+ *
+ * During this initialization, the CPUs are paired according to a "stride" that
+ * may be specified when invoking the user space program that initializes and
+ * loads the scheduler. By default, the stride is 1/2 the total number of CPUs.
+ *
+ * Tasks and cgroups
+ * -----------------
+ *
+ * Every cgroup in the system is registered with the scheduler using the
+ * pair_cgroup_init() callback, and every task in the system is associated with
+ * exactly one cgroup. At a high level, the idea with the pair scheduler is to
+ * always schedule tasks from the same cgroup within a given CPU pair. When a
+ * task is enqueued (i.e. passed to the pair_enqueue() callback function), its
+ * cgroup ID is read from its task struct, and then a corresponding queue map
+ * is used to FIFO-enqueue the task for that cgroup.
+ *
+ * If you look through the implementation of the scheduler, you'll notice that
+ * there is quite a bit of complexity involved with looking up the per-cgroup
+ * FIFO queue that we enqueue tasks in. For example, there is a cgrp_q_idx_hash
+ * BPF hash map that is used to map a cgroup ID to a globally unique ID that's
+ * allocated in the BPF program. This is done because we use separate maps to
+ * store the FIFO queue of tasks, and the length of that map, per cgroup. This
+ * complexity is only present because of current deficiencies in BPF that will
+ * soon be addressed. The main point to keep in mind is that newly enqueued
+ * tasks are added to their cgroup's FIFO queue.
+ *
+ * Dispatching tasks
+ * -----------------
+ *
+ * This section will describe how enqueued tasks are dispatched and scheduled.
+ * Tasks are dispatched in pair_dispatch(), and at a high level the workflow is
+ * as follows:
+ *
+ * 1. Fetch the struct pair_ctx for the current CPU. As mentioned above, this is
+ *    the structure that's used to synchronize amongst the two pair CPUs in their
+ *    scheduling decisions. After any of the following events have occurred:
+ *
+ * - The cgroup's slice run has expired, or
+ * - The cgroup becomes empty, or
+ * - Either CPU in the pair is preempted by a higher priority scheduling class
+ *
+ * The cgroup transitions to the draining state and stops executing new tasks
+ * from the cgroup.
+ *
+ * 2. If the pair is still executing a task, mark the pair_ctx as draining, and
+ *    wait for the pair CPU to be preempted.
+ *
+ * 3. Otherwise, if the pair CPU is not running a task, we can move onto
+ *    scheduling new tasks. Pop the next cgroup id from the top_q queue.
+ *
+ * 4. Pop a task from that cgroup's FIFO task queue, and begin executing it.
+ *
+ * Note again that this scheduling behavior is simple, but the implementation
+ * is complex mostly because this it hits several BPF shortcomings and has to
+ * work around in often awkward ways. Most of the shortcomings are expected to
+ * be resolved in the near future which should allow greatly simplifying this
+ * scheduler.
