Linux中进程内存与cgroup内存的统计

| 分类 Linux  | 标签 memory  cgroup 

在Linux内核，对于进程的内存使用与Cgroup的内存使用统计有一些相同和不同的地方。

进程的内存统计

一般来说，业务进程使用的内存主要有以下几种情况：

  • （1）用户空间的匿名映射页（Anonymous pages in User Mode address spaces），比如调用malloc分配的内存，以及使用MAP_ANONYMOUS的mmap；当系统内存不够时，内核可以将这部分内存交换出去；

  • （2）用户空间的文件映射页（Mapped pages in User Mode address spaces），包含map file和map tmpfs；前者比如指定文件的mmap，后者比如IPC共享内存；当系统内存不够时，内核可以回收这些页，但回收之前可能需要与文件同步数据；

  • （3）文件缓存（page in page cache of disk file）；发生在程序通过普通的read/write读写文件时，当系统内存不够时，内核可以回收这些页，但回收之前可能需要与文件同步数据；

  • （4）buffer pages，属于page cache；比如读取块设备文件。

其中（1）和（2）是算作进程的RSS，（3)和（4)属于page cache。

与进程内存统计相关的几个文件：

  • /proc/[pid]/stat
(23) vsize  %lu
        Virtual memory size in bytes.
(24) rss  %ld
        Resident Set Size: number of pages the process has
        in real memory.  This is just the pages which count
        toward text, data, or stack space.  This does not
        include pages which have not been demand-loaded in,
        or which are swapped out.

RSS的计算：

对应top的RSS列，do_task_stat

#define get_mm_rss(mm)					\
	(get_mm_counter(mm, file_rss) + get_mm_counter(mm, anon_rss))

即RSS=file_rss + anon_rss

  • /proc/[pid]/statm
Provides information about memory usage, measured in pages.
The columns are:

  size       (1) total program size
             (same as VmSize in /proc/[pid]/status)
  resident   (2) resident set size
             (same as VmRSS in /proc/[pid]/status)
  share      (3) shared pages (i.e., backed by a file)
  text       (4) text (code)
  lib        (5) library (unused in Linux 2.6)
  data       (6) data + stack
  dt         (7) dirty pages (unused in Linux 2.6)

见函数proc_pid_statm

int task_statm(struct mm_struct *mm, int *shared, int *text,
	       int *data, int *resident)
{
	*shared = get_mm_counter(mm, file_rss);
	*text = (PAGE_ALIGN(mm->end_code) - (mm->start_code & PAGE_MASK))
								>> PAGE_SHIFT;
	*data = mm->total_vm - mm->shared_vm;
	*resident = *shared + get_mm_counter(mm, anon_rss);
	return mm->total_vm;
}

top的SHR=file_rss。实际上，进程使用的共享内存，也是算到file_rss的，因为共享内存基于tmpfs。

anon_rss与file_rss的计算

static int __do_fault(struct mm_struct *mm, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
		unsigned long address, pmd_t *pmd,
		pgoff_t pgoff, unsigned int flags, pte_t orig_pte)
{
	if (flags & FAULT_FLAG_WRITE) {
		if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_SHARED)) {
			anon = 1;///anon page
...
		if (anon) {
			inc_mm_counter(mm, anon_rss);
			page_add_new_anon_rmap(page, vma, address);
		} else {
			inc_mm_counter(mm, file_rss);
			page_add_file_rmap(page);

cgroup 的内存统计

stat file

memory.stat file includes following statistics

# per-memory cgroup local status
cache		- # of bytes of page cache memory.
rss		- # of bytes of anonymous and swap cache memory (includes
		transparent hugepages).
rss_huge	- # of bytes of anonymous transparent hugepages.
mapped_file	- # of bytes of mapped file (includes tmpfs/shmem)
pgpgin		- # of charging events to the memory cgroup. The charging
		event happens each time a page is accounted as either mapped
		anon page(RSS) or cache page(Page Cache) to the cgroup.
pgpgout		- # of uncharging events to the memory cgroup. The uncharging
		event happens each time a page is unaccounted from the cgroup.
swap		- # of bytes of swap usage
dirty		- # of bytes that are waiting to get written back to the disk.
writeback	- # of bytes of file/anon cache that are queued for syncing to
		disk.
inactive_anon	- # of bytes of anonymous and swap cache memory on inactive
		LRU list.
active_anon	- # of bytes of anonymous and swap cache memory on active
		LRU list.
inactive_file	- # of bytes of file-backed memory on inactive LRU list.
active_file	- # of bytes of file-backed memory on active LRU list.
unevictable	- # of bytes of memory that cannot be reclaimed (mlocked etc).

	s64 count[MEM_CGROUP_STAT_NSTATS];
} ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp;

struct mem_cgroup_stat {
	struct mem_cgroup_stat_cpu cpustat[0];
};

rss and cache

cache - # of bytes of page cache memory. rss - # of bytes of anonymous and swap cache memory (includes transparent hugepages).

static void mem_cgroup_charge_statistics(struct mem_cgroup *mem,
					 struct page_cgroup *pc,
					 long size)
{
...
	cpustat = &stat->cpustat[cpu];
	if (PageCgroupCache(pc))
		__mem_cgroup_stat_add_safe(cpustat,
			MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE, numpages);
	else
		__mem_cgroup_stat_add_safe(cpustat, MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS,
			numpages);

static void __mem_cgroup_commit_charge(struct mem_cgroup *mem,
                       struct page_cgroup *pc,
                       enum charge_type ctype,
                       int page_size)
{

    switch (ctype) {
    case MEM_CGROUP_CHARGE_TYPE_CACHE:
    case MEM_CGROUP_CHARGE_TYPE_SHMEM: //file cache + shm
        SetPageCgroupCache(pc);
        SetPageCgroupUsed(pc);
        break;
    case MEM_CGROUP_CHARGE_TYPE_MAPPED:
        ClearPageCgroupCache(pc);
        SetPageCgroupUsed(pc);
        break;
    default:
        break;
    }
    ///更新统计值
    mem_cgroup_charge_statistics(mem, pc, page_size);


int mem_cgroup_cache_charge(struct page *page, struct mm_struct *mm,
				gfp_t gfp_mask)
{
...
	if (page_is_file_cache(page))
		return mem_cgroup_charge_common(page, mm, gfp_mask,
				MEM_CGROUP_CHARGE_TYPE_CACHE, NULL); ///file cache

	/* shmem */
	if (PageSwapCache(page)) {
		ret = mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin(mm, page, gfp_mask, &mem);
		if (!ret)
			__mem_cgroup_commit_charge_swapin(page, mem,
					MEM_CGROUP_CHARGE_TYPE_SHMEM);
	} else
		ret = mem_cgroup_charge_common(page, mm, gfp_mask, ///shm memory
					MEM_CGROUP_CHARGE_TYPE_SHMEM, mem);

可以看到，cache包含共享内存和file cache

mapped_file

mapped_file - # of bytes of mapped file (includes tmpfs/shmem)

void mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped(struct page *page, int val)
{
...	__mem_cgroup_stat_add_safe(cpustat, MEM_CGROUP_STAT_FILE_MAPPED, val);

__do_fault –> page_add_file_rmap –> mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped。

inactive_anon

inactive_anon - # of bytes of anonymous and swap cache memory on inactive LRU list.

static int shmem_getpage_gfp(struct inode *inode, pgoff_t index,
	struct page **pagep, enum sgp_type sgp, gfp_t gfp, int *fault_type)
{
...
		lru_cache_add_anon(page);

/**
 * lru_cache_add: add a page to the page lists
 * @page: the page to add
 */
static inline void lru_cache_add_anon(struct page *page)
{
	__lru_cache_add(page, LRU_INACTIVE_ANON);
}

从这里可以看到，共享内存会增加到INACTIVE_ANON。

inactive_file

inactive_file - # of bytes of file-backed memory on inactive LRU list.文件使用的page cache（不包含共享内存）

static inline void lru_cache_add_file(struct page *page)
{
	__lru_cache_add(page, LRU_INACTIVE_FILE);
}

add_to_page_cache_lru –> lru_cache_add_file.

示例程序

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>
#define BUF_SIZE 4000000000   
#define MYKEY 26 

int main(int argc,char **argv){
    int shmid;
    char *shmptr;

    if((shmid = shmget(MYKEY,BUF_SIZE,IPC_CREAT)) ==-1){
        fprintf(stderr,"Create Share Memory Error0m~Z%s\n\a",strerror(errno));
        exit(1);
    }

    if((shmptr =shmat(shmid,0,0))==(void *)-1){
        printf("shmat error!\n");
        exit(1);
    }

    memset(shmptr,'\0',1000000000);

    printf("sleep...\n");
    while(1)
        sleep(1);

    exit(0);
}

执行程序前后，cgroup memory.stat的值：

* 执行前：*

# cat memory.stat 
cache 1121185792
rss 23678976
rss_huge 0
mapped_file 14118912
inactive_anon 1002643456
active_anon 23687168
inactive_file 46252032
active_file 72282112

* 执行后：*

# cat memory.stat 
cache 2121187328
rss 23760896
rss_huge 0
mapped_file 1014124544
inactive_anon 2002608128
active_anon 23736320
inactive_file 46247936
active_file 72286208

#ipcs -m
0x0000001a 229380     root       0          4000000000 1

可以看到cgroup中，共享内存计算在cache、mapped_file、inactive_anon中。

小结

  • （1）进程rss与cgroup rss的区别

进程的RSS为进程使用的所有物理内存（file_rss＋anon_rss），即Anonymous pages＋Mapped apges（包含共享内存）。cgroup RSS为（anonymous and swap cache memory），不包含共享内存。两者都不包含file cache。

  • （2）cgroup cache包含file cache和共享内存。
