From 9ec7a59b5aad4b736871c378d30f5ef5ec51cb52 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Wolf Date: Tue, 10 May 2022 17:10:20 +0200 Subject: coroutine: Revert to constant batch size Commit 4c41c69e changed the way the coroutine pool is sized because for virtio-blk devices with a large queue size and heavy I/O, it was just too small and caused coroutines to be deleted and reallocated soon afterwards. The change made the size dynamic based on the number of queues and the queue size of virtio-blk devices. There are two important numbers here: Slightly simplified, when a coroutine terminates, it is generally stored in the global release pool up to a certain pool size, and if the pool is full, it is freed. Conversely, when allocating a new coroutine, the coroutines in the release pool are reused if the pool already has reached a certain minimum size (the batch size), otherwise we allocate new coroutines. The problem after commit 4c41c69e is that it not only increases the maximum pool size (which is the intended effect), but also the batch size for reusing coroutines (which is a bug). It means that in cases with many devices and/or a large queue size (which defaults to the number of vcpus for virtio-blk-pci), many thousand coroutines could be sitting in the release pool without being reused. This is not only a waste of memory and allocations, but it actually makes the QEMU process likely to hit the vm.max_map_count limit on Linux because each coroutine requires two mappings (its stack and the guard page for the stack), causing it to abort() in qemu_alloc_stack() because when the limit is hit, mprotect() starts to fail with ENOMEM. In order to fix the problem, change the batch size back to 64 to avoid uselessly accumulating coroutines in the release pool, but keep the dynamic maximum pool size so that coroutines aren't freed too early in heavy I/O scenarios. Note that this fix doesn't strictly make it impossible to hit the limit, but this would only happen if most of the coroutines are actually in use at the same time, not just sitting in a pool. This is the same behaviour as we already had before commit 4c41c69e. Fully preventing this would require allowing qemu_coroutine_create() to return an error, but it doesn't seem to be a scenario that people hit in practice.
