mm: fix ratelimit_pages update error in dirty_ratio_handler() 2025-05-12T00:48:01+00:00 Jinliang Zheng alexjlzheng@tencent.com 2025-04-15T09:02:32+00:00 f83f362d40ccceb647f7d80eb92206733d76a36b In dirty_ratio_handler(), vm_dirty_bytes must be set to zero before calling writeback_set_ratelimit(), as global_dirty_limits() always prioritizes the value of vm_dirty_bytes.

In dirty_ratio_handler(), vm_dirty_bytes must be set to zero before
calling writeback_set_ratelimit(), as global_dirty_limits() always
prioritizes the value of vm_dirty_bytes.

It's domain_dirty_limits() that's relevant here, not node_dirty_ok:

  dirty_ratio_handler
    writeback_set_ratelimit
      global_dirty_limits(&dirty_thresh)           <- ratelimit_pages based on dirty_thresh
        domain_dirty_limits
          if (bytes)                               <- bytes = vm_dirty_bytes <--------+
            thresh = f1(bytes)                     <- prioritizes vm_dirty_bytes      |
          else                                                                        |
            thresh = f2(ratio)                                                        |
      ratelimit_pages = f3(dirty_thresh)                                              |
    vm_dirty_bytes = 0                             <- it's late! ---------------------+

This causes ratelimit_pages to still use the value calculated based on
vm_dirty_bytes, which is wrong now.


The impact visible to userspace is difficult to capture directly because
there is no procfs/sysfs interface exported to user space.  However, it
will have a real impact on the balance of dirty pages.

For example:

1. On default, we have vm_dirty_ratio=40, vm_dirty_bytes=0

2. echo 8192 > dirty_bytes, then vm_dirty_bytes=8192,
   vm_dirty_ratio=0, and ratelimit_pages is calculated based on
   vm_dirty_bytes now.

3. echo 20 > dirty_ratio, then since vm_dirty_bytes is not reset to
   zero when writeback_set_ratelimit() -> global_dirty_limits() ->
   domain_dirty_limits() is called, reallimit_pages is still calculated
   based on vm_dirty_bytes instead of vm_dirty_ratio.  This does not
   conform to the actual intent of the user.

However, this adaptation was incomplete and Tejun missed further adaptation in the subsequent patches. In the cgroup writeback scenario, if sdtc in balance_dirty_pages() is assigned to mdtc, then upon entering trace_balance_dirty_pages(), __entry->limit should be assigned based on the dirty_limit of the corresponding memcg's wb_domain, rather than global_wb_domain. To address this issue and simplify the implementation, introduce a 'limit' field in struct dirty_throttle_control to store the hard_limit value computed in wb_position_ratio() by calling hard_dirty_limit().

Patch series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb", v2.

In my experiment, I found that the output of trace_balance_dirty_pages()
in the cgroup writeback scenario was strange because
trace_balance_dirty_pages() always uses global_wb_domain.dirty_limit for
related calculations instead of the dirty_limit of the corresponding
memcg's wb_domain.

The basic idea of the fix is to store the hard dirty limit value computed
in wb_position_ratio() into struct dirty_throttle_control and use it for
calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages().


This patch (of 3):

Currently, trace_balance_dirty_pages() already has 12 parameters.  In the
patch #3, I initially attempted to introduce an additional parameter. 
However, in include/linux/trace_events.h, bpf_trace_run12() only supports
up to 12 parameters and bpf_trace_run13() does not exist.

To reduce the number of parameters in trace_balance_dirty_pages(), we can
make it accept a pointer to struct dirty_throttle_control as a parameter. 
To achieve this, we need to move the definition of struct
dirty_throttle_control from mm/page-writeback.c to
include/linux/writeback.h.
