# stalld
|
||||
|
||||
The stalld package - a daemon to detect (and possibly correct) stalled threads in a Linux system
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
## Command Line Options
|
||||
|
||||
`Usage: stalld [-l] [-v] [-k] [-s] [-f] [-h] [-F]
|
||||
[-c cpu-list]
|
||||
[-p time in ns] [-r time in ns]
|
||||
[-d time in seconds] [-t time in seconds]`
|
||||
|
||||
### 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]
|
||||
### Miscellaneous
|
||||
- -h/--help: print this menu
