Well we do need some kind of solution to the problem. Either having some setting where you say "This memcg limit is inclusive/exclusive device driver allocated memory" or have a completely separate limit for device driver allocated memory. Key point is we have both use cases, so we need to support both. >>>> There has been some work on TTM by Dave but I still haven't found time >>>> to wrap my head around all possible side effects such a change can >>>> have. >>>> >>>> The fundamental problem is that neither memcg nor the classic resource >>>> tracking (e.g. the OOM killer) has a good understanding of shared >>>> resources. >>> >>> And yet heap allocations don't necessarily have to be shared.

Welcome to the club :) I've already posted patches to start addressing at least the OOM killer issue ~10 years ago. Those patches were not well received because back then driver memory was negligible and the problem simply didn't hurt much. But by now we have GPUs and AI accelerators which eat up 90% of your system memory, security researchers stumbling over it and IIRC even multiple CVE numbers for some of the resulting issues...

The LPC vids haven't been clipped yet, and actually I can't even find the recorded full live stream from Hall A2 on the first day. So I don't think there's anything to look at, but I bet there's probably nothing there you don't already know. > The way I see it, the dma-buf heaps *trivial* case is non-existent at > the moment and that's definitely broken. Any application can bypass its > cgroups limits trivially, and that's a pretty big hole in the system. Agree, but if we only charge the first allocator then limits can still easily be bypassed assuming an app can cause an allocation outside of its cgroup tree. I'm not sure using static memcg limits where a significant portion of the memory can be shared is really feasible. Even with just pagecache being charged to memcgs, we're having trouble defining a static memcg limit that is really useful since it has to be high enough to accomodate occasional spikes due to shared memory that might or might not be charged (since it can only be charged to one memcg - it may be spread around or it may all get charged to one memcg). So excessive anonymous use has to get really bad before it gets punished. What I've been hearing lately is that folks are polling memory.stat or PSI or other metrics and using that to take actions (memory.reclaim / killing / adjust memory.high) at runtime rather than relying on memory.high/max behavior with a static limit. > The shared ownership is indeed broken, but it's not more or less broken > than, say, memfd + udmabuf, and I'm sure plenty of others. One thing that's worse about system heap buffers is that unlike memfd the memory isn't reclaimable. So without killing all users there's currently no way to deal with the zombie issue. Harry's proposing reparenting, but I don't think our current interfaces support that because we'd have to mess with the page structs behind system heap dmabufs to change the memcg during reparenting. Ah... but udmabuf pins the memfd pages, so you're right that memfd + udmabuf isn't worse. > So we really improve the common case, but only make the "advanced" > slightly more broken than it already is. > > Would you disagree? I think memcg limits in this case just wouldn't be usable because of what I mentioned above. In our common case the allocator is in a different cgroup tree than the real users of the buffer. > Maxime

Other two are changed in 3/19. All three should surely be changed in the same patch. We could change those spin_lock/unlock calls in patch #3, but I don't think that this is clean. See the code here currently uses fence->lock and patch #3 would change it to use fence->finished->lock instead. That might be the pointer at the moment, but that is just by coincident and not design. Only this change here ontop makes it intentional that we use fence->finished->lock for everything.
