Subject: [RFD] Provide virtualized CPU system information for containers

Abstract
========

Today, applications that run on containers enforce their CPU and memory
limits, requirements with the help of cgroups. However, many applications
legacy or otherwise get the view of the system through sysfs/procfs and
allocate resources like number of threads/processes, memory allocation based
on that information. This can lead to unexpected running behaviors as well as
have a high impact on performance.

The problem is not only limited to the coherency of information. Cloud runtime
environments requests for CPU runtime in millicores[1], which translate to
using CFS period and quota to limit CPU runtime in cgroups. However, generally,
applications operate in terms of threads with little to no cognizance of the
millicore limit or its connotation.

The scope of the RFD, along with the experimental results is anchored
towards CPU system information, rather than the challenges posed by Memory
limits information or its likes in this proposal.

Problem Statement
=================
Provide Virtualized CPU system information to applications running within
the container semantics.

Experiments
===========
Picked a relatively common container application nginx[2] configured with
"worker_processes: auto"[3] (which ensures that the number of processes to spawn
will be derived from resources viewed on the system) and a benchmark/driver
application wrk[4]

Nginx: Nginx is a web server that can also be used as a reverse proxy, load
balancer, mail proxy and HTTP cache
Wrk: wrk is a modern HTTP benchmarking tool capable of generating significant
load when run on a single multi-core CPU

Docker is used as the containerization platform of choice.

For the scope of experimentation a fake sysfs (/sys/devices/system/cpu) is
mounted which encapsulates information in coherence with the limits set to
the container.

The aim of the experiment is to quantify the effects of incoherent information
on resources allocated as well as performance

System configuration1 -- Intel
1. Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2470
2. CPUs: 32
3. Memory: 94Gi

System configuration2 -- IBM POWER
1. IBM POWER 9
2. CPUs: 176
3. Memory: 127GB

Exp1: Effects of incorrect CPU information with cpuset
------------------------------------------------------
See [12] for detailed stats -- POWER
See [13] for detailed stats -- Intel

Case1: The container has access to all the CPUs
Case2: cpuset limits set on nginx container to only "0-3". However, the default
        sys/ and proc/ file systems display system CPUs
Case3: cpuset limits set to "0-3" and sysfs faked to give coherent information
        pertaining to only 0-3

No significant improvement or degradation in terms of performance is observed.

+----------------+--------+--------+--------+

Observations -- Both platforms show the same trend in statistics:
1. The number of PIDs in case 3 are in coherence with the cpu limit provided.
    4 worker threads + 1 Master thread, compared for the former cases where the
    number of threads spawned were based on the CPUs on the system
2. The memory footprint dropped significantly from case1 to case3 just because
    the application received a coherent view of the system

+----------------+----------+----------+----------+----------+

Obervations -- Both platforms show the same trend in statistics:
When the CPU quota limit is set to run for the duration of 4 CPUs and,
Case1: Nginx spawns processes based on the view of the system then there is a
        high amount of throttling, high memory footprint as well as low
        performance
Case2: A fake sysfs is mounted to display 4 cpus, when period and quota
        reflects 4 cpus worth of runtime then the throttling is the lowest as
        well as the performance is the highest.
        Also, memory footprint is seen to improve.
Case3: A fake sysfs is mounted to display 8 cpus i.e overcommit, then
        throttling is seen to increase, while the throttle time is lesser
        than case1, the throttle % is the same. Performance also drops as well
        as higher memory footprint can be seen when compared to case 2 but
        less than case 1
Case4: A fake sysfs is mounted to display 2 cpus i.e undercommit, There is
        virtually no throttling to be observed as there is no contention.
        The memory footprint is also the lowest, however the performance takes
        a dip too and is the worst of all the cases

The above experiments show us that there is merit for applications observing
coherent information in terms of tasks spawned, memory footprint and
performance.

Existing solutions
==================

1. Why don't current applications look at the cgroupfs interface instead of the
    old sys and procfs if they need coherent information?

Most of the information that applications seek from the traditional
filesystems is correctly populated in the cgroupfs and that applications
should modify their libraries to receive coherent information from there. This
is a strong argument and cannot be discounted, however it does present two
problems along with it.
a. There are a lot of applications that currently use the traditional
    interface which can be range from legacy applications as well relatively
    modern applications like nginx as we have seen. Therefore, the sheer volume
    of applications and their libraries may make it difficult to implement this
    currently.
b. Applications which previously didn't know the concept of millicores would
    now have to incorporate that into their business logic for their thread
    requirements as well by deriving and interpreting this information from CFS
    period and quota

2. Userspace tools like LXCFS[5]
In the experiment above, to give a coherent view of the system we mounted
fake sysfs directories, which is precisely the modus operandi of LXFCS.
LXCFS is a userspace tools which uses FUSE filesystem to provide coherency of
information and mount cgroupfs based information in sys, procfs like:

/proc/cpuinfo
/proc/diskstats
/proc/meminfo
/proc/stat
/proc/swaps
/proc/uptime
/proc/slabinfo
/sys/devices/system/cpu/*
/sys/devices/system/cpu/online

It is also capable to virtualize period and quota information with --enable-cfs
option[6]. It divides period by quota and the resulting number of CPUs "N" is
presented in /sys/devices/system/cpu/online as "0-N".

The benefit of LXCFS is that it is a light, relatively easy to setup userspace
tool which can be used by applications to get coherent information presented
from cgroupfs to sysfs. It does seem to be currently in use with
Kubenetes as described by Google Anthos[7] and the Alibab Cloud tutorial[8]

However, it does pose a couple of concerns too:
a. From a CPU point of view, when it comes to virtualizing of CPUs based on
    periods and quotas will always lead to list of CPUs starting from 0 to N,
    where N is the translation of number of CPUs it should get a runtime of.
    The question aries if this can become an issue where the applications
    depend of the CPU list itself, that it is task-setting or setting affinity
    to those CPUs?
    If that is possible, then in that case where there are multiple
    container applications running with the same taskset CPUset; can experience
    unwarranted throttling.
b. LXCFS is an external solution that needs to be explicitly setup for
    applications that experience problems from incorrect information
    in sys/procfs

Hence, I believe an argument can be made to have an in-kernel interface that
can virtualize CPU information and namespace each logical container into its
own view of the CPU topology.

3. Introduce a new interface to present information in-kernel
A patchset was suggested[9] which added /proc/self/meminfo which contained a
subset of /proc/meminfo respecting cgroup restrictions for the memory
incoherence problem.

This design can also be ported for the CPU view of the system too.
The advantage of this approach is that a new interface is setup
without overriding the current interfaces which enables us to not break any
assumptions already established on those sys and procfs interface.

However, this could turn out to be a potential disadvantage too.
As there can be two kinds of applications that the solution is currently
designed for:
a. Legacy applications
b. Newer applications that still look at traditional interfaces
For both a.) and b.) if they do not currently look at the cgroupfs interfaces;
then introduction of yet another interface may not be motivating enough to
modify their codebase to receive this information.
This argument was also presented by Christian Brauner in the same patchset[10],
while also highlighting overlapping points presented from this proposal.

Honorable mention: Kubenetes CPU manager[11]. The CPU manager is a feature for
QoS in container orchestration, here the CPU manager manages the cpuset given
exclusively to pods based on the requests of CPUs in its configuration.
While it is a nifty feature to manage cpuset information, it still does not
reflect this information in traditional sys/procfs interfaces and a LXCFS hook
is needed along with it for the same.

Proposed Solution -> CPU namespace
==================================

This RFD proposes the inclusion of a new namespace feature - CPU namespace.
A CPU namespace can present coherent system CPU information to the contain
applications that reside within it in accordance with the cgroups limits set
onto it. The namespace also virtualizes CPU information and can maintain an
internal translation from the namespace CPU to the logical CPU in the kernel.

Designing a namespace this way presents a coherent interface as well as is able
to cleanly abstract details about the system and it's configuration from the
higher level applications.
The advantage of this approach is also that this can be acheived without the
introduction of a new interface and by just reimagining the interpretation of
the existing sys and proc interfaces.

On the lines of namespaces, an alternative namespace that could also be
proposed is a sys/proc namespace that can virtualize information presented from
cgroupfs. It could be CPUs, memory, even other system topology. This would
resolve memory limits inconsistency issues as reported in [9]. However,
presenting CPU information this way does pose a challenge. There are metrics
like period and quota as discussed earlier which need to be derived to present
as CPUs as well as needs to be abstracted out. If a coherent interpretation of
these derived metrics can be agreed upon then the following could also be a
viable alternative.

The aim of the above proposal is to:
a. Garner perspective from the community around the problem, its implications
    in the real world and the cementing a consensus if there is a need to
    solving it
b. Spark a discussion around a potential solution

If a consensus can be reached, first towards acceptance of the problem and then
towards a coherent CPU namespace mechanism; I would gladly volunteer to help
in building it out.
