mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers

Browse Source 
Patch series "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers", v7.


This patch (of 2):

Other mechanisms for querying the peak memory usage of either a process or
v1 memory cgroup allow for resetting the high watermark.  Restore parity
with those mechanisms, but with a less racy API.

For example:
 - Any write to memory.max_usage_in_bytes in a cgroup v1 mount resets
   the high watermark.
 - writing "5" to the clear_refs pseudo-file in a processes's proc
   directory resets the peak RSS.

This change is an evolution of a previous patch, which mostly copied the
cgroup v1 behavior, however, there were concerns about races/ownership
issues with a global reset, so instead this change makes the reset
filedescriptor-local.

Writing any non-empty string to the memory.peak and memory.swap.peak
pseudo-files reset the high watermark to the current usage for subsequent
reads through that same FD.

Notably, following Johannes's suggestion, this implementation moves the
O(FDs that have written) behavior onto the FD write(2) path.  Instead, on
the page-allocation path, we simply add one additional watermark to
conditionally bump per-hierarchy level in the page-counter.

Additionally, this takes Longman's suggestion of nesting the
page-charging-path checks for the two watermarks to reduce the number of
common-case comparisons.

This behavior is particularly useful for work scheduling systems that need
to track memory usage of worker processes/cgroups per-work-item.  Since
memory can't be squeezed like CPU can (the OOM-killer has opinions), these
systems need to track the peak memory usage to compute system/container
fullness when binpacking workitems.

Most notably, Vimeo's use-case involves a system that's doing global
binpacking across many Kubernetes pods/containers, and while we can use
PSI for some local decisions about overload, we strive to avoid packing
workloads too tightly in the first place.  To facilitate this, we track
the peak memory usage.  However, since we run with long-lived workers (to
amortize startup costs) we need a way to track the high watermark while a
work-item is executing.  Polling runs the risk of missing short spikes
that last for timescales below the polling interval, and peak memory
tracking at the cgroup level is otherwise perfect for this use-case.

As this data is used to ensure that binpacked work ends up with sufficient
headroom, this use-case mostly avoids the inaccuracies surrounding
reclaimable memory.
