In an environment with heterogenious worker nodes, a universal resource
table for all workers does not allow effective scheduling of tasks. Some
workers may have different proof cache settings, changing the required
memory for different tasks. Some workers may have a different count of
CPUs per core-complex, changing the max parallelism of PC1.
This change allows workers to customize these parameters with
environment variables. A worker could set the environment variable
PC1_MIN_MEMORY for example to customize the minimum memory requirement
for PC1 tasks. If no environment variables are specified, the resource
table on the miner is used, except for PC1 parallelism.
If PC1_MAX_PARALLELISM is not specified, and
FIL_PROOFS_USE_MULTICORE_SDR is set, PC1_MAX_PARALLELSIM will
automatically be set to FIL_PROOFS_MULTICORE_SDR_PRODUCERS + 1.
Attempting to report "memory used by other processes" in the MemReserved
field fails to take into account the fact that the system's memory used
includes memory used by ongoing tasks.
To properly account for this, worker should report the memory and swap
used, then the scheduler that is aware of the memory requirements for a
task can determine if there is sufficient memory available for a task.
Worker processes may have memory limitations imposed by Systemd. But
/proc/meminfo shows the entire system memory regardless of these limits.
This results in the scheduler believing the worker has the entire system
memory avaliable and the worker being allocated too many tasks.
This change attempts to read cgroup memory limits for the worker
process. It supports cgroups v1 and v2, and compares cgroup limits
against the system memory and returns the most conservative values to
prevent the worker from being allocated too many tasks and potentially
triggering an OOM event.
