Cross Memory Attach v3

From: Christopher Yeoh
Date: Mon Jul 18 2011 - 11:05:58 EST


Hi Andrew,

Resending with CC's as you requested. Have added information about a man
page and what is required for arches other than x86 and powerpc which
have already been done.

Just as a reminder of what has happened so far, repeating some content
from previous emails about it:

The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing
intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than
a double copy of the message via shared memory.

The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a
destination process, given an address and size from a source process, to
copy memory directly from the source process into its own address space
via a system call. There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from
the current process's address space into a destination process's
address space.

- Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with
using it:
- Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming
preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or
written to would need to be contiguous.
- Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently
ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read
from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call,
but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping
(reason appears to have been lost)
- Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix
domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view,
especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands
of processes that all need to do this with each other
- Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to
consider adding in the future (see below)
- Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually
involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily)

As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered,
but has problems. Since you need the reader and writer working
co-operatively if the pipe is not drained then you block. Which
requires some wrapping to do non blocking on the send side or polling
on the receive. In all to all communication it requires ordering
otherwise you can deadlock. And in the example of many MPI tasks
writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the copying.

There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy
interface does not get us the performance gain we could. For example in
an MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like
to instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum)
as this would save us doing a copy. We don't need to keep a copy of the
data from the source. I haven't implemented this, but I think this
interface could in the future do all this through the use of the flags
- eg could specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather
than just copying the data would apply the specified operation between
the source and destination and store it in the destination.

Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've
had some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for
intra process messaging which is not MPI). This interface is something
which hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to
implement fast local communication. And so in addition to this being
useful for OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to
fix things up when the mm changes.

There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would
go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2

There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here:

http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt

This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should
mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv
and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for
64-bit kernels.

For arch maintainers there are some simple tests to be able to quickly
verify that the syscalls are working correctly here:

http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/cma-test-20110718.tgz

Regards,

Chris
