Michael Wootton 2f3be2735f Don't split oversize cached blocks (#44742)
Summary:
Fixes https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/35901

This change is designed to prevent fragmentation in the Caching Allocator.  Permissive block splitting in the allocator allows very large blocks to be split into many pieces.  Once split too finely it is unlikely all pieces will be 'free' at that same time so the original allocation can never be returned.   Anecdotally, we've seen a model run out of memory failing to alloc a 50 MB block on a 32 GB card while the caching allocator is holding 13 GB of 'split free blocks'

Approach:

- Large blocks above a certain size are designated "oversize".  This limit is currently set 1 decade above large, 200 MB
- Oversize blocks can not be split
- Oversize blocks must closely match the requested size (e.g. a 200 MB request will match an existing 205 MB block, but not a 300 MB block)
- In lieu of splitting oversize blocks there is a mechanism to quickly free a single oversize block (to the system allocator) to allow an appropriate size block to be allocated.  This will be activated under memory pressure and will prevent _release_cached_blocks()_ from triggering

Initial performance tests show this is similar or quicker than the original strategy.  Additional tests are ongoing.

r"""Returns a dictionary of CUDA memory allocator statistics for a
given device.
The return value of this function is a dictionary of statistics, each of
which is a non-negative integer.
Core statistics:
- ``"allocated.{all,large_pool,small_pool}.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``:
number of allocation requests received by the memory allocator.
- ``"allocated_bytes.{all,large_pool,small_pool}.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``:
amount of allocated memory.
- ``"segment.{all,large_pool,small_pool}.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``:
number of reserved segments from ``cudaMalloc()``.
- ``"reserved_bytes.{all,large_pool,small_pool}.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``:
amount of reserved memory.
- ``"active.{all,large_pool,small_pool}.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``:
number of active memory blocks.
- ``"active_bytes.{all,large_pool,small_pool}.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``:
amount of active memory.
- ``"inactive_split.{all,large_pool,small_pool}.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``:
number of inactive, non-releasable memory blocks.
- ``"inactive_split_bytes.{all,large_pool,small_pool}.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``:
amount of inactive, non-releasable memory.
For these core statistics, values are broken down as follows.
Pool type:
- ``all``: combined statistics across all memory pools.
- ``large_pool``: statistics for the large allocation pool
(as of October 2019, for size >= 1MB allocations).
- ``small_pool``: statistics for the small allocation pool
(as of October 2019, for size < 1MB allocations).
Metric type:
- ``current``: current value of this metric.
- ``peak``: maximum value of this metric.
- ``allocated``: historical total increase in this metric.
- ``freed``: historical total decrease in this metric.
In addition to the core statistics, we also provide some simple event
counters:
- ``"num_alloc_retries"``: number of failed ``cudaMalloc`` calls that
result in a cache flush and retry.
- ``"num_ooms"``: number of out-of-memory errors thrown.
The caching allocator can be configured via ENV to not split blocks larger than a
defined size (see Memory Management section of the Cuda Semantics documentation).
This helps avoid memory framentation but may have a performance
penalty. Additional outputs to assist with tuning and evaluating impact:
- ``"max_split_size"``: blocks above this size will not be split.
- ``"oversize_allocations.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``:
number of over-size allocation requests received by the memory allocator.
- ``"oversize_segments.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``:
number of over-size reserved segments from ``cudaMalloc()``.
