lxcfs容器隔离技术实现原理分析之loadavg、cpuonl

lxcfs是什么
我们知道runc没有做到完全隔离/proc、/sys路径下的文件，所以容器内通过top、free等命令看到的数据都是物理机上的。对于习惯了虚机，物理机的同学来说不太友好，而且这些命令似乎也失去了本质意义。lxcfs作用就是将容器内/proc、/sys文件与物理机隔离，让top等命令显示容器内真实数据。
说明
lxcfs是以用户空间文件系统（Filesystem in Userspace）为基础，以cgroup技术实现的用户空间的虚拟文件系统。先对fuse和cgroup有个大致了解，看本文效果更好些。本文不介绍lxcfs的安装及使用，网上不乏这样的好文章。我们主要介绍下lxcfs对cpuonline、loadavg的现实，这两部分弄懂，其它也大体相同。
容器中读取lxcfs文件系统
lxcfs程序启动时会指定一个路径（如下图是/var/lib/lxcfs）作为挂载点，以后读取这个路径的下文件（cgroup、proc、sys）vfs都会调用内核fuse，fuse回调lxcfs实现的文件操作函数。容器内读取lxcfs文件系统中的数据时，通过gblic系统调用vfs接口然后转到fuse内核模块，内核模块fuse回调lxcfs程序中实现的回调函数，获取容器的cgroup，然后去宿主机对应cgroup下读取并计算后得到容器的实际mem、cpu等信息。lxcfs将物理机的cgroups挂载到运行时环境/run/lxcfs/controllers，但直接在物理机上看不见，因为程序中用unshare做了mounts namespace隔离。lxcfs程序中所有的cgroups信息都从/run/lxcfs/controllers下获得。

源码
因为工作中正好需要这两部分，所以主要介绍下cpuonline和loadavg的实现。nginx、java等程序根据cpu核心数启动相应个数的进程，cpuonline是相关系统调用的数据来源。没隔离导致的容器内获取到cpu核数是物理机的，本应该创建2个进程，实际却创建40个（容器2c，物理机40c），由于更多的上下文切换导致明显的性能下降。loadavg目前没看到有关的分析，这里也简单介绍下。

实现分析
注：cgropu的各个controller文件在main函数执行前打开，保存在fd_hierarchies中，后面使用直接掉openat，不是每次都要open、close文件。通过c语言的attribute((constructor)) 属性，声明collect_and_mount_subsystems这个函数。
看下collect_and_mount_subsystems
static void __attribute__((constructor)) collect_and_mount_subsystems(void)
{
FILE *f;
char *cret, *line = NULL;
char cwd[MAXPATHLEN];
size_t len = 0;
int i, init_ns = -1;
bool found_unified = false;
if ((f = fopen("/proc/self/cgroup", "r")) == NULL) {
lxcfs_error("Error opening /proc/self/cgroup: %s\n", strerror(errno));
return;
}
// 读取宿主机上namespaces controller保存到hierarchies
while (getline(&line, &len, f) != -1) {
......
if (!store_hierarchy(line, p))
goto out;
}
/* Preserve initial namespace. */
init_ns = preserve_mnt_ns(getpid());
if (init_ns < 0) {
lxcfs_error("%s\n", "Failed to preserve initial mount namespace.");
goto out;
}
fd_hierarchies = malloc(sizeof(int) * num_hierarchies);
if (!fd_hierarchies) {
lxcfs_error("%s\n", strerror(errno));
goto out;
}
for (i = 0; i < num_hierarchies; i++)
fd_hierarchies[i] = -1;
cret = getcwd(cwd, MAXPATHLEN);
if (!cret)
lxcfs_debug("Could not retrieve current working directory: %s.\n", strerror(errno));
/* This function calls unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) our initial mount namespace
* to privately mount lxcfs cgroups. */
// 关键是这里，将cgroup下各个控制模块，挂载到lxcfs进程的自由的mount ns下（/run/lxcfs/container）
if (!cgfs_setup_controllers()) {
lxcfs_error("%s\n", "Failed to setup private cgroup mounts for lxcfs.");
goto out;
}
......
}
static bool cgfs_setup_controllers(void)
{
// 主要调用unshare 创建私有的mount ns
if (!cgfs_prepare_mounts())
return false;
if (!cgfs_mount_hierarchies()) {
lxcfs_error("%s\n", "Failed to set up private lxcfs cgroup mounts.");
return false;
}
if (!permute_root())
return false;
return true;
}
static bool cgfs_mount_hierarchies(void)
{
char *target;
size_t clen, len;
int i, ret;
for (i = 0; i < num_hierarchies; i++) {
char *controller = hierarchies[i];
clen = strlen(controller);
len = strlen(BASEDIR) + clen + 2;
target = malloc(len);
if (!target)
return false;
ret = snprintf(target, len, "%s/%s", BASEDIR, controller);
if (ret < 0 || ret >= len) {
free(target);
return false;
}
if (mkdir(target, 0755) < 0 && errno != EEXIST) {
free(target);
return false;
}
if (!strcmp(controller, "unified"))
ret = mount("none", target, "cgroup2", 0, NULL);
else
ret = mount(controller, target, "cgroup", 0, controller);
if (ret < 0) {
lxcfs_error("Failed mounting cgroup %s: %s\n", controller, strerror(errno));
free(target);
return false;
}
// 将所有cgroup controller 文件打开，保存文件描述符
fd_hierarchies[i] = open(target, O_DIRECTORY);
if (fd_hierarchies[i] < 0) {
free(target);
return false;
}
free(target);
}
return true;
}
lxcfs.c main中主要是解析命令行参数，并调用fuse提供的fuse_main函数将lxcfs相关的文件操作注册，并传入挂载点。
......
if (!fuse_main(nargs, newargv, &lxcfs_ops, opts))
......
const struct fuse_operations lxcfs_ops = {
.getattr = lxcfs_getattr,
.readlink = NULL,
.getdir = NULL,
.mknod = NULL,
.mkdir = lxcfs_mkdir,
.unlink = NULL,
.rmdir = lxcfs_rmdir,
.symlink = NULL,
.rename = NULL,
.link = NULL,
.chmod = lxcfs_chmod,
.chown = lxcfs_chown,
.truncate = lxcfs_truncate,
.utime = NULL,
.open = lxcfs_open,
.read = lxcfs_read,
.release = lxcfs_release,
.write = lxcfs_write,
.statfs = NULL,
.flush = lxcfs_flush,
.fsync = lxcfs_fsync,
.setxattr = NULL,
.getxattr = NULL,
.listxattr = NULL,

.fsyncdir = NULL,

.destroy = NULL,
.access = lxcfs_access,
.create = NULL,
.ftruncate = NULL,
.fgetattr = NULL,
};
cpuonline
- cpuonline信息在/sys/devices/system/cpu/路径下，lxcfs将对/sys（当然这里使用任何路径都可以）的操作注册到fuse
lxcfs.c：
const struct fuse_operations lxcfs_ops = {
......
.open = lxcfs_open,
.read = lxcfs_read,
.release = lxcfs_release,
.write = lxcfs_write,
......
}
static int lxcfs_read(const char *path, char *buf, size_t size, off_t offset,
struct fuse_file_info *fi)
{
int ret;
if (strncmp(path, "/cgroup", 7) == 0) {
up_users();
ret = do_cg_read(path, buf, size, offset, fi);
down_users();
return ret;
}
if (strncmp(path, "/proc", 5) == 0) {
up_users();
ret = do_proc_read(path, buf, size, offset, fi);
down_users();
return ret;
}
if (strncmp(path, "/sys", 4) == 0) {
up_users();
ret = do_sys_read(path, buf, size, offset, fi);
down_users();
return ret;
}
return -EINVAL;
}
static int do_sys_read(const char *path, char *buf, size_t size, off_t offset,
struct fuse_file_info *fi)
{
int (*sys_read)(const char *path, char *buf, size_t size, off_t offset,
struct fuse_file_info *fi);
char *error;
dlerror(); /* Clear any existing error */
sys_read = (int (*)(const char *, char *, size_t, off_t, struct fuse_file_info *)) dlsym(dlopen_handle, "sys_read");
error = dlerror();
if (error != NULL) {
lxcfs_error("%s\n", error);
return -1;
}
return sys_read(path, buf, size, offset, fi);
}
文件操作相关代码（bindings.c、sysfs_fuse.c，cpuset.c）被封装成liblxcfs.so动态库，供lxcfs.c调用。上面do_sys_read通过dlsym获取liblxcfs.so动态库中的sys_read函数。
- 接着看下读cpuonline的过程
sysfs_fuse.c：

loadavg
- 平均负载的概念：平均负载是一段时间内活跃task队列的平均值，活跃进程指的是TASK_RUNNING, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE状态的进程。内核计算loadavg的方式，感兴趣的同学可以看看源码。
- loadavg和其他部分不太一样的是，lxcfs需要用daemon进程计算平均负载，因为我们需要的容器（也就是特定进程的cgroup）的平均负载，宿主机没有这部分数据。lxcfs用与内核完全相同的方式计算负载，所以loadavg的值还是相当准足准确的。宿主机计算的平均负载是根据所有的task（进程、线程）计算得到，容器的平均负载是根据容器内的进程计算而得。
- loadavg daemon分析
load daemon的调用流程：main-> start_loadavg-> load_daemon-> load_begin
load_begin就像注释写的一样，每5s遍历一次load哈希表，并更新负载值
/*
* Traverse the hash table and update it.
*/
void *load_begin(void *arg)
{
......
while (1) {
if (loadavg_stop == 1)
return NULL;
time1 = clock();
for (i = 0; i < LOAD_SIZE; i++) {
pthread_mutex_lock(&load_hash[i].lock);
if (load_hash[i].next == NULL) {
pthread_mutex_unlock(&load_hash[i].lock);
continue;
}
f = load_hash[i].next;
first_node = 1;
while (f) {
......
// 更新负载
sum = refresh_load(f, path);
if (sum == 0) {
f = del_node(f, i);
} else {
out: f = f->next;
}
free(path);
......
}
if (loadavg_stop == 1)
return NULL;
time2 = clock();
usleep(FLUSH_TIME * 1000000 - (int)((time2 - time1) * 1000000 / CLOCKS_PER_SEC));
}
}
主要分析下refresh_load
