To address this problem and hopefully eliminate such problems in future we increase default size up to 1M. Because this value may be too big for old distros or other libraries, which would never use such deep stack, we do a trick: put watermark at 64K offset of the stack and once fiber get recycled we try to relax memory pressue with madvise syscall. https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/issues/3418 --- Vladimir, take a look please. That is what you mean? I'm not yet familiar with slab engine, does it allocates pages on lazy fashion or we need to pass 'dontneed' on first fiber creation too? And please re-check stack/mark position calculus once again, brain is off already I might miss something obvious. Also should not we give user a way to configure this early params, maybe via getenv? src/fiber.c | 87 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 86 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) Index: tarantool.git/src/fiber.c =================================================================== --- tarantool.git.orig/src/fiber.c +++ tarantool.git/src/fiber.c @@ -91,11 +91,26 @@ pthread_t main_thread_id; static size_t page_size; static int stack_direction; +static void +stack_recycle(struct fiber *fiber); + +/* + * A random unique value with help of uuidgen. + * + * 39ee5420-13f7-417b-9610-ea100c591ab6 + */ +static const char stack_wmark[] = { + 0x39, 0xee, 0x54, 0x20, 0x13, 0xf7, 0x41, 0x7b, + 0x96, 0x10, 0xea, 0x10, 0x0c, 0x59, 0x1a, 0xb6 +}; + enum { /* The minimum allowable fiber stack size in bytes */ FIBER_STACK_SIZE_MINIMAL = 16384, + /* Stack size for stack relaxed tasks */ + FIBER_STACK_MIDDLE_LIMIT = 65536, /* Default fiber stack size in bytes */ - FIBER_STACK_SIZE_DEFAULT = 65536 + FIBER_STACK_SIZE_DEFAULT = 1048576 }; /** Default fiber attributes */ @@ -623,6 +638,7 @@ fiber_recycle(struct fiber *fiber) assert(diag_is_empty(&fiber->diag)); /* no pending wakeup */ assert(rlist_empty(&fiber->state)); + stack_recycle(fiber); bool has_custom_stack = fiber->flags & FIBER_CUSTOM_STACK; fiber_reset(fiber); fiber->name[0] = '\0'; @@ -710,6 +726,74 @@ page_align_up(void *ptr) return page_align_down(ptr + page_size - 1); } +static inline void * +stack_wmark_pos(struct fiber *fiber) +{ + void *pos; + + assert(fiber->stack); + assert(fiber->stack_size); + + if (stack_direction < 0) { + pos = fiber->stack + fiber->stack_size; + pos -= FIBER_STACK_MIDDLE_LIMIT; + return page_align_up(pos); + } else { + pos = fiber->stack - fiber->stack_size; + pos += FIBER_STACK_MIDDLE_LIMIT; + return page_align_down(pos); + } +} + +/* + * Set watermark to the predefined place thus on + * fiber sched-out procedure we may detect if + * a task was too eager for stack usage. + */ +static inline void +stack_set_wmark(struct fiber *fiber) +{ + void *pos = stack_wmark_pos(fiber); + memcpy(pos, stack_wmark, sizeof(stack_wmark)); +} + +static inline bool +stack_has_wmark(struct fiber *fiber) +{ + void *pos = stack_wmark_pos(fiber); + return memcmp(pos, stack_wmark, sizeof(stack_wmark)) == 0; +} + +static void +stack_recycle(struct fiber *fiber) +{ + if (!fiber->stack || (fiber->flags & FIBER_CUSTOM_STACK)) + return; + + /* + * If a fiber was too eager for memory, just arm + * a watermark back and mark the rest as unneeded. + * This will hint OS to release the memory but if + * a fiber ask for it again it will be shipped on + * back on demand. + */ + if (!stack_has_wmark(fiber)) { + size_t size; + void *tail; + + stack_set_wmark(fiber); + + if (stack_direction < 0) { + tail = stack_wmark_pos(fiber) - page_size; + size = tail - fiber->stack; + } else { + tail = stack_wmark_pos(fiber) + page_size; + size = fiber->stack - tail; + } + madvise(fiber->stack, size, MADV_DONTNEED); + } +} + static int fiber_stack_create(struct fiber *fiber, size_t stack_size) { @@ -751,6 +835,7 @@ fiber_stack_create(struct fiber *fiber, fiber->stack_size); mprotect(guard, page_size, PROT_NONE); + stack_set_wmark(fiber); return 0; }
