stalld

介绍

The stalld program (which stands for 'stall daemon') is a mechanism to prevent the starvation of operating system threads in a Linux system. The premise is to start up on a housekeeping cpu (one that is not used for real-application purposes) and to periodically monitor the state of each thread in the system, looking for a thread that has been on a run queue (i.e. ready to run) for a specifed length of time without being run. This condition is usually hit when the thread is on the same cpu as a high-priority cpu-intensive task and therefore is being given no opportunity to run. When a thread is judged to be starving, stalld changes that thread to use the SCHED_DEADLINE policy and gives the thread a small slice of time for that cpu (specified on the command line). The thread then runs and when that timeslice is used, the thread is then returned to its original scheduling policy and stalld then continues to monitor thread states. There is now an experimental option to boost using SCHED_FIFO. This logic is used if the running kernel does not support the SCHED_DEADLINE policy and may be forced by using the -F/--force_fifo option.

安装教程

Install stalld rpm package:

yum install stalld

使用说明

Logging options

-l/--log_only: only log information (do not boost) [false] -v/--verbose: print info to the std output [false] -k/--log_kmsg: print log to the kernel buffer [false] -s/--log_syslog: print log to syslog [true]

Startup options

-c/--cpu: list of cpus to monitor for stalled threads [all cpus] -f/--foreground: run in foreground [false but true when -v] -P/--pidfile: write daemon pid to specified file [no pidfile]

Boosting options

-p/--boost_period: SCHED_DEADLINE period [ns] that the starving task will receive [1000000000] -r/--boost_runtime: SCHED_DEADLINE runtime [ns] that the starving task will receive [20000] -d/--boost_duration: how long [s] the starving task will run with SCHED_DEADLINE [3] -F/--force_fifo: force using SCHED_FIFO for boosting

Monitoring options

-t/--starving_threshold: how long [s] the starving task will wait before being boosted [60] -A/--aggressive_mode: dispatch one thread per run queue, even when there is no starving threads on all CPU (uses more CPU/power). [false]
