2.39.2
Hello,
KernelCI is hosting a bi-weekly call on Thursday to discuss improvements to
existing upstream tests, the development of new tests to increase kernel
testing coverage, and the enablement of these tests in KernelCI. In recent
months, we at Collabora have focused on various kernel areas, assessing the
tests already available upstream and contributing patches to make them
easily runnable in CIs.
Below is a list of the tests we've been working on and their latest status
updates, as discussed in the last meeting held on 2024-07-11:
*USB/PCI devices kselftest*
- Upstream test to detect unprobed devices on discoverable buses:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?…
- Updated KernelCI PRs according to feedback, now waiting for the first
test results: https://github.com/kernelci/kernelci-core/pull/2577 and
https://github.com/kernelci/kernelci-pipeline/pull/642
*Error log test*
- Proposing new kselftest to report device log errors:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240423-dev-err-log-selftest-v1-0-690c1741d68b…
- Series got Acked-By from Greg, going to be picked up by Shuah soon
- Feedback from Tim Bird: this series follows an unusual model where
tests can only fail but never pass, as no test case is generated unless
there is an error. It takes an unusual approach to detect regressions and
fixes. The autogenerated test case names are not very descriptive.
*Suspend/resume in cpufreq kselftest*
- Enabling suspend/resume test within the cpufreq kselftest in KernelCI -
- Sent patch upstream for adding RTC wakeup alarm in the cpufreq
kselftest:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/2e667d-668ff800-1-22d70300@133606496/
- Received a review from Rafael J. Wysocki, who suggested using the
rtcwake utility instead of the sysfs entry
*Boot time test*
- Drafted initial implementation with two scripts, a config fragment and
a bootconfig file
- One script generates a YAML file containing initial timestamps for
relevant boot events, parsed from the trace file (run once)
- The other script is the actual test, which takes the generated YAML
file and a delta in seconds as arguments. The script then parses the
current trace file and checks if any timestamp deviates from the
reference timestamps in the YAML file by more than the specified delta.
- Tracking only a few functions at the moment (populate_rootfs,
unpack_to_rootfs, run_init_process). Next steps: refine bootconfig file
to include more tracepoints (potentially initcalls too?). Useful
tracepoints should be discussed upstream.
- Will present this at LPC 2024 (embedded and IoT MC)
*Support for benchmark data in KTAP*
- Tim Bird is working on adding performance data to KTAP output, which
can be used in tests to detect slowdowns
- The idea is to keep reference values and criteria separate from the
test itself
- There is a need to store per-platform files with previous times for
comparison
- Will need to figure out where these files can be stored so they can be
shared and used by different people and systems. Potential options: KCIDB
or https://github.com/kernelci/platform-test-parameters
- Submitted a proposal for LPC 2024
- Other related topics for discussion at LPC 2024 include: how to avoid
device tree overhead in the boot process and boot phases (time-critical
vs non-critical)
*TAP conformance in kselftests*
- Focusing on standardizing the way kernel's testing modules report
results
- Discussion ongoing upstream over patches converting tests to TAP:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/fb305513-580a-4bac-a078-fe0170a6ffa2@linuxfound…
and
https://lore.kernel.org/all/6d82fa16-ed2e-41f1-a466-c752032b6f68@linuxfound…
Please reply to this thread if you'd like to join the call or discuss any
of the topics further. We look forward to collaborating with the community
to improve upstream tests and expand coverage to more areas of interest
within the kernel.
Best regards,
Laura Nao

This is the 9th part of series "use network helpers" all BPF selftests
wide.
Patches 1-2 update network helpers interfaces suggested by Martin.
Patch 3 adds a new helper connect_to_addr_str() as Martin suggested
instead of adding connect_fd_to_addr_str().
Patch 4 uses this newly added helper in make_client().
Patch 5 uses make_client() in sk_lookup and drop make_socket().

2.43.0
v16: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=866353&state=*
====
v15 got a thorough review and some testing, and this version addresses almost
all the feedback. Some more minor comments where the authors said it
could be done later, I left out.
Major changes:
- Addition of dma-buf introspection to page-pool-get and queue-get.
- Fixes to selftests suggested by Taehee.
- Fixes to documentation suggested by Donald.
- A couple of suggestions and fixes to TCP patches by Eric and David.
- Fixes to number assignements suggested by Arnd.
- Use rtnl_lock()ing to guard against queue reconfiguration while the
page_pool initialization is happening. (Jakub).
- Fixes to a few warnings reproduced by Taehee.
- Fixes to dma-buf binding suggested by Taehee and Jakub.
- Fixes to netlink UAPI suggested by Jakub
- Applied a number of Reviewed-bys and Acked-bys (including ones I lost
from v13+).
Full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver implementation is
here:
https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v16/
One caveat: Taehee reproduced a KASAN warning and reported it here:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CAMArcTUdCxOBYGF3vpbq=eBvqZfnc44KBaQTN7H-wqd…
I estimate the issue to be minor and easily fixable:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CAHS8izNgaqC--GGE2xd85QB=utUnOHmioCsDd1TNxJW…
I hope to be able to follow up with a fix to net tree as net-next closes
imminently, but if this iteration doesn't make it in, I will repost with
a fix squashed after net-next reopens, no problem.
v15: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=865481&state=*
====
No material changes in this version, only a fix to linking against
libynl.a from the last version. Per Jakub's instructions I've pulled one
of his patches into this series, and now use the new libynl.a correctly,
I hope.
As usual, the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver
implementation is here:
https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v15/
v14: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=865135&archive=…
====
No material changes in this version. Only rebase and re-verification on
top of net-next. v13, I think, raced with commit ebad6d0334793
("net/ipv4: Use nested-BH locking for ipv4_tcp_sk.") being merged to
net-next that caused a patchwork failure to apply. This series should
apply cleanly on commit c4532232fa2a4 ("selftests: net: remove unneeded
IP_GRE config").
I did not wait the customary 24hr as Jakub said it's OK to repost as soon
as I build test the rebased version:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240625075926.146d769d@kernel.org/
v13: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=861406&archive=…
====
Major changes:
--------------
This iteration addresses Pavel's review comments, applies his
reviewed-by's, and seeks to fix the patchwork build error (sorry!).
As usual, the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver
implementation is here:
https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v13/
v12: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=859747&state=*
====
Major changes:
--------------
This iteration only addresses one minor comment from Pavel with regards
to the trace printing of netmem, and the patchwork build error
introduced in v11 because I missed doing an allmodconfig build, sorry.
Other than that v11, AFAICT, received no feedback. There is one
discussion about how the specifics of plugging io uring memory through
the page pool, but not relevant to content in this particular patchset,
AFAICT.
As usual, the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver
implementation is here:
https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v12/
v11: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=857457&state=*
====
Major Changes:
--------------
v11 addresses feedback received in v10. The major change is the removal
of the memory provider ops as requested by Christoph. We still
accomplish the same thing, but utilizing direct function calls with if
statements rather than generic ops.
Additionally address sparse warnings, bugs and review comments from
folks that reviewed.
As usual, the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver
implementation is here:
https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v11/
Detailed changelog:
-------------------
- Fixes in netdev_rx_queue_restart() from Pavel & David.
- Remove commit e650e8c3a36f5 ("net: page_pool: create hooks for
custom page providers") from the series to address Christoph's
feedback and rebased other patches on the series on this change.
- Fixed build errors with CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER &&
!CONFIG_GENERIC_ALLOCATOR build.
- Fixed sparse warnings pointed out by Paolo.
- Drop unnecessary gro_pull_from_frag0 checks.
- Added Bagas reviewed-by to docs.

====
Major Changes:
--------------
v9 was sent right before the merge window closed (sorry!). v10 is almost
a re-send of the series now that the merge window re-opened. Only
rebased to latest net-next and addressed some minor iterative comments
received on v9.
As usual, the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver
implementation is here:
https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v10/
Detailed changelog:
-------------------
- Fixed tokens leaking in DONTNEED setsockopt (Nikolay).
- Moved net_iov_dma_addr() to devmem.c and made it a devmem specific
helpers (David).
- Rename hook alloc_pages to alloc_netmems as alloc_pages is now
preprocessor macro defined and causes a build error.
v9:
===
Major Changes:
--------------
GVE queue API has been merged. Submitting this version as non-RFC after
rebasing on top of the merged API, and dropped the out of tree queue API
I was carrying on github. Addressed the little feedback v8 has received.
Detailed changelog:
------------------
- Added new patch from David Wei to this series for
netdev_rx_queue_restart()
- Fixed sparse error.
- Removed CONFIG_ checks in netmem_is_net_iov()
- Flipped skb->readable to skb->unreadable
- Minor fixes to selftests & docs.
RFC v8:
=======
Major Changes:
--------------
- Fixed build error generated by patch-by-patch build.
- Applied docs suggestions from Randy.
RFC v7:
=======
Major Changes:
--------------
This revision largely rebases on top of net-next and addresses the feedback
RFCv6 received from folks, namely Jakub, Yunsheng, Arnd, David, & Pavel.
The series remains in RFC because the queue-API ndos defined in this
series are not yet implemented. I have a GVE implementation I carry out
of tree for my testing. A upstreamable GVE implementation is in the
works. Aside from that, in my estimation all the patches are ready for
review/merge. Please do take a look.
As usual the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver
implementation is here:
https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v7/
Detailed changelog:
- Use admin-perm in netlink API.
- Addressed feedback from Jakub with regards to netlink API
implementation.
- Renamed devmem.c functions to something more appropriate for that
file.
- Improve the performance seen through the page_pool benchmark.
- Fix the value definition of all the SO_DEVMEM_* uapi.
- Various fixes to documentation.
Perf - page-pool benchmark:
---------------------------
Improved performance of bench_page_pool_simple.ko tests compared to v6:
https://pastebin.com/raw/v5dYRg8L
net-next base: 8 cycle fast path.
RFC v6: 10 cycle fast path.
RFC v7: 9 cycle fast path.
RFC v7 with CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER disabled: 8 cycle fast path,
same as baseline.
Perf - Devmem TCP benchmark:
---------------------
Perf is about the same regardless of the changes in v7, namely the
removal of the static_branch_unlikely to improve the page_pool benchmark
performance:
189/200gbps bi-directional throughput with RX devmem TCP and regular TCP
TX i.e. ~95% line rate.
RFC v6:
=======
Major Changes:
--------------
This revision largely rebases on top of net-next and addresses the little
feedback RFCv5 received.
The series remains in RFC because the queue-API ndos defined in this
series are not yet implemented. I have a GVE implementation I carry out
of tree for my testing. A upstreamable GVE implementation is in the
works. Aside from that, in my estimation all the patches are ready for
review/merge. Please do take a look.
As usual the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver
implementation is here:
https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v6/
This version also comes with some performance data recorded in the cover
letter (see below changelog).
Detailed changelog:
- Rebased on top of the merged netmem_ref changes.
- Converted skb->dmabuf to skb->readable (Pavel). Pavel's original
suggestion was to remove the skb->dmabuf flag entirely, but when I
looked into it closely, I found the issue that if we remove the flag
we have to dereference the shinfo(skb) pointer to obtain the first
frag to tell whether an skb is readable or not. This can cause a
performance regression if it dirties the cache line when the
shinfo(skb) was not really needed. Instead, I converted the skb->dmabuf
flag into a generic skb->readable flag which can be re-used by io_uring
0-copy RX.
- Squashed a few locking optimizations from Eric Dumazet in the RX path
and the DEVMEM_DONTNEED setsockopt.
- Expanded the tests a bit. Added validation for invalid scenarios and
added some more coverage.
Perf - page-pool benchmark:
---------------------------
bench_page_pool_simple.ko tests with and without these changes:
https://pastebin.com/raw/ncHDwAbn
AFAIK the number that really matters in the perf tests is the
'tasklet_page_pool01_fast_path Per elem'. This one measures at about 8
cycles without the changes but there is some 1 cycle noise in some
results.
With the patches this regresses to 9 cycles with the changes but there
is 1 cycle noise occasionally running this test repeatedly.
Lastly I tried disable the static_branch_unlikely() in
netmem_is_net_iov() check. To my surprise disabling the
static_branch_unlikely() check reduces the fast path back to 8 cycles,
but the 1 cycle noise remains.
Perf - Devmem TCP benchmark:
---------------------
189/200gbps bi-directional throughput with RX devmem TCP and regular TCP
TX i.e. ~95% line rate.
Major changes in RFC v5:
========================
1. Rebased on top of 'Abstract page from net stack' series and used the
new netmem type to refer to LSB set pointers instead of re-using
struct page.
2. Downgraded this series back to RFC and called it RFC v5. This is
because this series is now dependent on 'Abstract page from net
stack'[1] and the queue API. Both are removed from the series to
reduce the patch # and those bits are fairly independent or
pre-requisite work.
3. Reworked the page_pool devmem support to use netmem and for some
more unified handling.
4. Reworked the reference counting of net_iov (renamed from
page_pool_iov) to use pp_ref_count for refcounting.
The full changes including the dependent series and GVE page pool
support is here:
https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-rfcv5/
[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=810774
Major changes in v1:
====================
1. Implemented MVP queue API ndos to remove the userspace-visible
driver reset.
2. Fixed issues in the napi_pp_put_page() devmem frag unref path.
3. Removed RFC tag.
Many smaller addressed comments across all the patches (patches have
individual change log).
Full tree including the rest of the GVE driver changes:
https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v1
Changes in RFC v3:
==================
1. Pulled in the memory-provider dependency from Jakub's RFC[1] to make the
series reviewable and mergeable.
2. Implemented multi-rx-queue binding which was a todo in v2.
3. Fix to cmsg handling.
The sticking point in RFC v2[2] was the device reset required to refill
the device rx-queues after the dmabuf bind/unbind. The solution
suggested as I understand is a subset of the per-queue management ops
Jakub suggested or similar:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230815171638.4c057dcd@kernel.org/
This is not addressed in this revision, because:
1. This point was discussed at netconf & netdev and there is openness to
using the current approach of requiring a device reset.
2. Implementing individual queue resetting seems to be difficult for my
test bed with GVE. My prototype to test this ran into issues with the
rx-queues not coming back up properly if reset individually. At the
moment I'm unsure if it's a mistake in the POC or a genuine issue in
the virtualization stack behind GVE, which currently doesn't test
individual rx-queue restart.
3. Our usecases are not bothered by requiring a device reset to refill
the buffer queues, and we'd like to support NICs that run into this
limitation with resetting individual queues.
My thought is that drivers that have trouble with per-queue configs can
use the support in this series, while drivers that support new netdev
ops to reset individual queues can automatically reset the queue as
part of the dma-buf bind/unbind.
The same approach with device resets is presented again for consideration
with other sticking points addressed.
This proposal includes the rx devmem path only proposed for merge. For a
snapshot of my entire tree which includes the GVE POC page pool support &
device memory support:

[2] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CAHS8izOVJGJH5WF68OsRWFKJid1_huzzUK+hpKbLcL4…
Changes in RFC v2:
==================
The sticking point in RFC v1[1] was the dma-buf pages approach we used to
deliver the device memory to the TCP stack. RFC v2 is a proof-of-concept
that attempts to resolve this by implementing scatterlist support in the
networking stack, such that we can import the dma-buf scatterlist
directly. This is the approach proposed at a high level here[2].
Detailed changes:
1. Replaced dma-buf pages approach with importing scatterlist into the
page pool.
2. Replace the dma-buf pages centric API with a netlink API.
3. Removed the TX path implementation - there is no issue with
implementing the TX path with scatterlist approach, but leaving
out the TX path makes it easier to review.
4. Functionality is tested with this proposal, but I have not conducted
perf testing yet. I'm not sure there are regressions, but I removed
perf claims from the cover letter until they can be re-confirmed.
5. Added Signed-off-by: contributors to the implementation.
6. Fixed some bugs with the RX path since RFC v1.
Any feedback welcome, but specifically the biggest pending questions
needing feedback IMO are:
1. Feedback on the scatterlist-based approach in general.
2. Netlink API (Patch 1 & 2).
3. Approach to handle all the drivers that expect to receive pages from
the page pool (Patch 6).

==================
* TL;DR:
Device memory TCP (devmem TCP) is a proposal for transferring data to and/or
from device memory efficiently, without bouncing the data to a host memory
buffer.
* Problem:
A large amount of data transfers have device memory as the source and/or
destination. Accelerators drastically increased the volume of such transfers.
Some examples include:
- ML accelerators transferring large amounts of training data from storage into
GPU/TPU memory. In some cases ML training setup time can be as long as 50% of
TPU compute time, improving data transfer throughput & efficiency can help
improving GPU/TPU utilization.
- Distributed training, where ML accelerators, such as GPUs on different hosts,
exchange data among them.
- Distributed raw block storage applications transfer large amounts of data with
remote SSDs, much of this data does not require host processing.
Today, the majority of the Device-to-Device data transfers the network are
implemented as the following low level operations: Device-to-Host copy,
Host-to-Host network transfer, and Host-to-Device copy.
The implementation is suboptimal, especially for bulk data transfers, and can
put significant strains on system resources, such as host memory bandwidth,
PCIe bandwidth, etc. One important reason behind the current state is the
kernel’s lack of semantics to express device to network transfers.
* Proposal:
In this patch series we attempt to optimize this use case by implementing
socket APIs that enable the user to:
1. send device memory across the network directly, and
2. receive incoming network packets directly into device memory.
Packet _payloads_ go directly from the NIC to device memory for receive and from
device memory to NIC for transmit.
Packet _headers_ go to/from host memory and are processed by the TCP/IP stack
normally. The NIC _must_ support header split to achieve this.
Advantages:
- Alleviate host memory bandwidth pressure, compared to existing
network-transfer + device-copy semantics.
- Alleviate PCIe BW pressure, by limiting data transfer to the lowest level
of the PCIe tree, compared to traditional path which sends data through the
root complex.
* Patch overview:
** Part 1: netlink API
Gives user ability to bind dma-buf to an RX queue.
** Part 2: scatterlist support
Currently the standard for device memory sharing is DMABUF, which doesn't
generate struct pages. On the other hand, networking stack (skbs, drivers, and
page pool) operate on pages. We have 2 options:
1. Generate struct pages for dmabuf device memory, or,
2. Modify the networking stack to process scatterlist.
Approach #1 was attempted in RFC v1. RFC v2 implements approach #2.
** part 3: page pool support
We piggy back on page pool memory providers proposal:
https://github.com/kuba-moo/linux/tree/pp-providers
It allows the page pool to define a memory provider that provides the
page allocation and freeing. It helps abstract most of the device memory
TCP changes from the driver.
** part 4: support for unreadable skb frags
Page pool iovs are not accessible by the host; we implement changes
throughput the networking stack to correctly handle skbs with unreadable
frags.
** Part 5: recvmsg() APIs
We define user APIs for the user to send and receive device memory.
Not included with this series is the GVE devmem TCP support, just to
simplify the review. Code available here if desired:
https://github.com/mina/linux/tree/tcpdevmem
This series is built on top of net-next with Jakub's pp-providers changes
cherry-picked.
* NIC dependencies:
1. (strict) Devmem TCP require the NIC to support header split, i.e. the
capability to split incoming packets into a header + payload and to put
each into a separate buffer. Devmem TCP works by using device memory
for the packet payload, and host memory for the packet headers.
2. (optional) Devmem TCP works better with flow steering support & RSS support,
i.e. the NIC's ability to steer flows into certain rx queues. This allows the
sysadmin to enable devmem TCP on a subset of the rx queues, and steer
devmem TCP traffic onto these queues and non devmem TCP elsewhere.
The NIC I have access to with these properties is the GVE with DQO support
running in Google Cloud, but any NIC that supports these features would suffice.
I may be able to help reviewers bring up devmem TCP on their NICs.
* Testing:
The series includes a udmabuf kselftest that show a simple use case of
devmem TCP and validates the entire data path end to end without
a dependency on a specific dmabuf provider.
** Test Setup
Kernel: net-next with this series and memory provider API cherry-picked
locally.
Hardware: Google Cloud A3 VMs.
NIC: GVE with header split & RSS & flow steering support.

To verify IFS (In Field Scan [1]) driver functionality, add the following 6
test cases:
1. Verify that IFS sysfs entries are created after loading the IFS module
2. Check if loading an invalid IFS test image fails and loading a valid
one succeeds
3. Perform IFS scan test on each CPU using all the available image files
4. Perform IFS scan with first test image file on a random CPU for 3
rounds
5. Perform IFS ARRAY BIST(Board Integrated System Test) test on each CPU
6. Perform IFS ARRAY BIST test on a random CPU for 3 rounds
These are not exhaustive, but some minimal test runs to check various
parts of the driver. Some negative tests are also included.

2.39.2
This patch series adds a selftest suite to validate the s390x
architecture specific ucontrol KVM interface.
When creating a VM on s390x it is possible to create it as userspace
controlled VM or in short ucontrol VM.
These VMs delegates the management of the VM to userspace instead
of handling most events within the kernel. Consequently the userspace
has to manage interrupts, memory allocation etc.
Before this patch set this functionality lacks any public test cases.
It is desirable to add test cases for this interface to be able to
reduce the risk of breaking changes in the future.
In order to provision a ucontrol VM the kernel needs to be compiled with
the CONFIG_KVM_S390_UCONTROL enabled. The users with sys_admin capability
can then create a new ucontrol VM providing the KVM_VM_S390_UCONTROL
parameter to the KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl.
The kernels existing selftest helper functions can only be partially be
reused for these tests.
The test cases cover existing special handling of ucontrol VMs within the
implementation and basic VM creation and handling cases:
* Reject setting HPAGE when VM is ucontrol
* Assert KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG is rejected
* Assert KVM_S390_VM_MEM_LIMIT_SIZE is rejected
* Assert state of initial SIE flags setup by the kernel
* Run simple program in VM with and without DAT
* Assert KVM_EXIT_S390_UCONTROL exit on not mapped memory access
* Assert functionality of storage keys in ucontrol VM
Running the test cases requires sys_admin capabilities to start the
ucontrol VM.
This can be achieved by running as root or with a command like:
sudo setpriv --reuid nobody --inh-caps -all,+sys_admin \
--ambient-caps -all,+sys_admin --bounding-set -all,+sys_admin \
./ucontrol_test
The patch set does also contain some code cleanup / consolidation of
architecture specific defines that are now used in multiple test cases.

2.39.2
While exploring uretprobe syscall and trampoline for ARM64, we observed
a slight performance gain for Redis benchmark using uretprobe syscall.
This patchset aims to further improve the performance of uretprobe by
optimizing the management of struct return_instance data.
In details, uretprobe utilizes dynamically allocated memory for struct
return_instance data. These data track the call chain of instrumented
functions. This approach is not efficient, especially considering the
inherent locality of function invocation.
This patchset proposes a rework of the return_instances management. It
replaces dynamic memory allocation with a statically allocated array.
This approach leverages the stack-style usage of return_instance and
remove the need for kamlloc/kfree operations.
This patch has been tested on Kunpeng916 (Hi1616), 4 NUMA nodes, 64
cores @ 2.4GHz. Redis benchmarks show a throughput gain by 2% for Redis
GET and SET commands:

This patch series provides workingset reporting of user pages in
lruvecs, of which coldness can be tracked by accessed bits and fd
references. However, the concept of workingset applies generically to
all types of memory, which could be kernel slab caches, discardable
userspace caches (databases), or CXL.mem. Therefore, data sources might
come from slab shrinkers, device drivers, or the userspace. IMO, the
kernel should provide a set of workingset interfaces that should be
generic enough to accommodate the various use cases, and be extensible
to potential future use cases. The current proposed interfaces are not
sufficient in that regard, but I would like to start somewhere, solicit
feedback, and iterate.
Use cases
==========
Job scheduling
On overcommitted hosts, workingset information allows the job scheduler
to right-size each job and land more jobs on the same host or NUMA node,
and in the case of a job with increasing workingset, policy decisions
can be made to migrate other jobs off the host/NUMA node, or oom-kill
the misbehaving job. If the job shape is very different from the machine
shape, knowing the workingset per-node can also help inform page
allocation policies.
Proactive reclaim
Workingset information allows the a container manager to proactively
reclaim memory while not impacting a job's performance. While PSI may
provide a reactive measure of when a proactive reclaim has reclaimed too
much, workingset reporting allows the policy to be more accurate and
flexible.
Ballooning (similar to proactive reclaim)
While this patch series does not extend the virtio-balloon device,
balloon policies benefit from workingset to more precisely determine
the size of the memory balloon. On desktops/laptops/mobile devices where
memory is scarce and overcommitted, the balloon sizing in multiple VMs
running on the same device can be orchestrated with workingset reports
from each one.
Promotion/Demotion
If different mechanisms are used for promition and demotion, workingset
information can help connect the two and avoid pages being migrated back
and forth.
For example, given a promotion hot page threshold defined in reaccess
distance of N seconds (promote pages accessed more often than every N
seconds). The threshold N should be set so that ~80% (e.g.) of pages on
the fast memory node passes the threshold. This calculation can be done
with workingset reports.
To be directly useful for promotion policies, the workingset report
interfaces need to be extended to report hotness and gather hotness
information from the devices[1].
[1]
https://www.opencompute.org/documents/ocp-cms-hotness-tracking-requirements…
Sysfs and Cgroup Interfaces
==========
The interfaces are detailed in the patches that introduce them. The main
idea here is we break down the workingset per-node per-memcg into time
intervals (ms), e.g.
1000 anon=137368 file=24530
20000 anon=34342 file=0
30000 anon=353232 file=333608
40000 anon=407198 file=206052
9223372036854775807 anon=4925624 file=892892
I realize this does not generalize well to hotness information, but I
lack the intuition for an abstraction that presents hotness in a useful
way. Based on a recent proposal for move_phys_pages[2], it seems like
userspace tiering software would like to move specific physical pages,
instead of informing the kernel "move x number of hot pages to y
device". Please advise.
[2]
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240319172609.332900-1-gregory.price@memverge…
Implementation
==========
Currently, the reporting of user pages is based off of MGLRU, and
therefore requires CONFIG_LRU_GEN=y. We would benefit from more MGLRU
generations for a more fine-grained workingset report. I will make the
generation count configurable in the next version. The workingset
reporting mechanism is gated behind CONFIG_WORKINGSET_REPORT, and the
aging thread is behind CONFIG_WORKINGSET_REPORT_AGING.

It looks like this is causing widespread build breakage in kselftest in

xtheadvector is a custom extension that is based upon riscv vector
version 0.7.1 [1]. All of the vector routines have been modified to
support this alternative vector version based upon whether xtheadvector
was determined to be supported at boot.
vlenb is not supported on the existing xtheadvector hardware, so a
devicetree property thead,vlenb is added to provide the vlenb to Linux.
There is a new hwprobe key RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_VENDOR_EXT_THEAD_0 that is
used to request which thead vendor extensions are supported on the
current platform. This allows future vendors to allocate hwprobe keys
for their vendor.
Support for xtheadvector is also added to the vector kselftests.

This series is a continuation of a different series that was fragmented
into two other series in an attempt to get part of it merged in the 6.10
merge window. The split-off series did not get merged due to a NAK on
the series that added the generic riscv,vlenb devicetree entry. This
series has converted riscv,vlenb to thead,vlenb to remedy this issue.
The original series is titled "riscv: Support vendor extensions and
xtheadvector" [3].
The series titled "riscv: Extend cpufeature.c to detect vendor
extensions" is still under development and this series is based on that
series! [4]
I have tested this with an Allwinner Nezha board. I ran into issues
booting the board after 6.9-rc1 so I applied these patches to 6.8. There
are a couple of minor merge conflicts that do arrise when doing that, so
please let me know if you have been able to boot this board with a 6.9
kernel. I used SkiffOS [1] to manage building the image, but upgraded
the U-Boot version to Samuel Holland's more up-to-date version [2] and
changed out the device tree used by U-Boot with the device trees that
are present in upstream linux and this series. Thank you Samuel for all
of the work you did to make this task possible.

- Charlie
In the middle of the thread about a patch to add the skip test result,
I suggested documenting the process of deprecating the KTAP v1 Specification
method of marking a skipped test:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/490271eb-1429-2217-6e38-837c6e5e328b@gmail.com/…
In a reply to that email I suggested that we ought to have a process to transition
the KTAP Specification from v1 to v2, and possibly v3 and future.
This email is meant to be the root of that discussion.
My initial thinking is that there are at least three different types of project
and/or community that may have different needs in this area.
Type 1 - project controls both the test output generation and the test output
parsing tool. Both generation and parsing code are in the same repository
and/or synchronized versions are distributed together.
Devicetree unittests are an example of Type 1. I plan to maintain changes
of test output to KTAP v2 format in coordination with updating the parser
to process KTAP v2 data.
Type 2 - project controls both the test output generation and the test output
parsing tool. The test output generation and a parser modifications may be
controlled by the project BUT there are one or more external testing projects
that (1) may have their own parsers, and (2) may have a single framework that
tests multiple versions of the tests.
I think that kselftest and kunit tests are probably examples of Type 2. I also
think that DT unittests will become a Type 2 project as a result of converting
to KTAP v2 data.
Type 3 - project may create and maintain some tests, but is primarily a consumer
of tests created by other projects. Type 3 projects typically have a single
framework that is able to execute and process multiple versions of the tests.
The Fuego test project is an example of Type 3.
Maybe adding all of this complexity of different Types in my initial thinking
was silly -- maybe everything in this topic is governed by the more complex
Type 3.
My thinking was that the three different Types of project would be impacted
in different ways by transition plans. Type 3 would be the most impacted,
so I wanted to be sure that any transition plan especially considered their
needs.
There is an important aspect of the KTAP format that might ease the transition
from one version to another: All KTAP formatted results begin with a "version
line", so as soon as a parser has processed the first line of a test, it can
apply the appropriate KTAP Specification version to all subsequent lines of
test output. A parser implementation could choose to process all versions,
could choose to invoke a version specific parser, or some other approach
all together.
In the "add skip test results" thread, I suggested deprecating the v1
method of marking a skipped test in v2, with a scheduled removal of
the v1 method in v3. But since the KTAP format version is available
in the very first line of test output, is it necessary to do a slow
deprecation and removal over two versions?
One argument to doing a two version deprecation/removal process is that
a parser that is one version older the the test output _might_ be able
to process the test output without error, but would not be able to take
advantage of features added in the newer version of the Specification.
My opinion is that a two version deprecation/removal process will slow
the Specification update process and lead to more versions of the
Specification over a given time interval.
A one version deprecation/removal process puts more of a burden on Type 3
projects and external parsers for Type 2 projects to implement parsers
that can process the newer Specification more quickly and puts a burden
on test maintainers to delay a move to the newer Specification, or possibly
pressure to support selection of more than one Specification version format
for output data.
One additional item... On the KTAP Specification version 2 process wiki page,
I suggested that it is "desirable for test result parsers that understand the
KTAP Specification version 2 data also be able to parse version 1 data."
With the implication "Converting version 1 compliant data to version 2 compliant
data should not require a "flag day" switch of test result parsers." If this
thread discussion results in a different decision, I will update the wiki.
Thoughts?
