"More MM work: a memcg scalability improvememt"
* emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>:
mm/lru: revise the comments of lru_lock
mm/lru: introduce relock_page_lruvec()
mm/lru: replace pgdat lru_lock with lruvec lock
mm/swap.c: serialize memcg changes in pagevec_lru_move_fn
mm/compaction: do page isolation first in compaction
mm/lru: introduce TestClearPageLRU()
mm/mlock: remove __munlock_isolate_lru_page()
mm/mlock: remove lru_lock on TestClearPageMlocked
mm/vmscan: remove lruvec reget in move_pages_to_lru
mm/lru: move lock into lru_note_cost
mm/swap.c: fold vm event PGROTATED into pagevec_move_tail_fn
mm/memcg: add debug checking in lock_page_memcg
mm: page_idle_get_page() does not need lru_lock
mm/rmap: stop store reordering issue on page->mapping
mm/vmscan: remove unnecessary lruvec adding
mm/thp: narrow lru locking
mm/thp: simplify lru_add_page_tail()
mm/thp: use head for head page in lru_add_page_tail()
mm/thp: move lru_add_page_tail() to huge_memory.c
Add relock_page_lruvec() to replace repeated same code, no functional
change.
When testing for relock we can avoid the need for RCU locking if we simply
compare the page pgdat and memcg pointers versus those that the lruvec is
holding. By doing this we can avoid the extra pointer walks and accesses
of the memory cgroup.
In addition we can avoid the checks entirely if lruvec is currently NULL.

This patch moves per node lru_lock into lruvec, thus bring a lru_lock for
each of memcg per node. So on a large machine, each of memcg don't have
to suffer from per node pgdat->lru_lock competition. They could go fast
with their self lru_lock.
After move memcg charge before lru inserting, page isolation could
serialize page's memcg, then per memcg lruvec lock is stable and could
replace per node lru lock.
In isolate_migratepages_block(), compact_unlock_should_abort and
lock_page_lruvec_irqsave are open coded to work with compact_control.
Also add a debug func in locking which may give some clues if there are
sth out of hands.
Daniel Jordan's testing show 62% improvement on modified readtwice case on
his 2P * 10 core * 2 HT broadwell box.

Patch series "memcg: add pagetable comsumption to memory.stat", v2.
Many workloads consumes significant amount of memory in pagetables. One
specific use-case is the user space network driver which mmaps the
application memory to provide zero copy transfer. This driver can consume
a large amount memory in page tables. This patch series exposes the
pagetable comsumption for each memory cgroup.
This patch (of 2):
This does not change any functionality and only move the functions which
update the lruvec stats to vmstat.h from memcontrol.h. The main reason
for this patch is to be able to use these functions in the page table
contructor function which is defined in mm.h and we can not include the
memcontrol.h in that file. Also this is a better place for this interface
in general. The lruvec abstraction, while invented for memcg, isn't
specific to memcg at all.

The *_lruvec_slab_state is also suitable for pages allocated from buddy,
not just for the slab objects. But the function name seems to tell us
that only slab object is applicable. So we can rename the keyword of slab
to kmem.

Patch series "mm: memcg: deprecate cgroup v1 non-hierarchical mode", v1.
The non-hierarchical cgroup v1 mode is a legacy of early days
of the memory controller and doesn't bring any value today.
However, it complicates the code and creates many edge cases
all over the memory controller code.
It's a good time to deprecate it completely. This patchset removes
the internal logic, adjusts the user interface and updates
the documentation. The alt patch removes some bits of the cgroup
core code, which become obsolete.
Michal Hocko said:
"All that we know today is that we have a warning in place to complain
loudly when somebody relies on use_hierarchy=0 with a deeper
hierarchy. For all those years we have seen _zero_ reports that would
describe a sensible usecase.
Moreover we (SUSE) have backported this warning into old distribution
kernels (since 3.0 based kernels) to extend the coverage and didn't
hear even for users who adopt new kernels only very slowly. The only
report we have seen so far was a LTP test suite which doesn't really
reflect any real life usecase"
This patch (of 3):
The non-hierarchical cgroup v1 mode is a legacy of early days of the
memory controller and doesn't bring any value today. However, it
complicates the code and creates many edge cases all over the memory
controller code.
It's a good time to deprecate it completely.
Functionally this patch enabled is by default for all cgroups and forbids
switching it off. Nothing changes if cgroup v2 is used: hierarchical mode
was enforced from scratch.
To protect the ABI memory.use_hierarchy interface is preserved with a
limited functionality: reading always returns "1", writing of "1" passes
silently, writing of any other value fails with -EINVAL and a warning to
dmesg (on the first occasion).

PageKmemcg flag is currently defined as a page type (like buddy, offline,
table and guard). Semantically it means that the page was accounted as a
kernel memory by the page allocator and has to be uncharged on the
release.
As a side effect of defining the flag as a page type, the accounted page
can't be mapped to userspace (look at page_has_type() and comments above).
In particular, this blocks the accounting of vmalloc-backed memory used
by some bpf maps, because these maps do map the memory to userspace.
One option is to fix it by complicating the access to page->mapcount,
which provides some free bits for page->page_type.
But it's way better to move this flag into page->memcg_data flags.
Indeed, the flag makes no sense without enabled memory cgroups and memory
cgroup pointer set in particular.
This commit replaces PageKmemcg() and __SetPageKmemcg() with
PageMemcgKmem() and an open-coded OR operation setting the memcg pointer
with the MEMCG_DATA_KMEM bit. __ClearPageKmemcg() can be simple deleted,
as the whole memcg_data is zeroed at once.
As a bonus, on !CONFIG_MEMCG build the PageMemcgKmem() check will be
compiled out.

Patch series "mm: allow mapping accounted kernel pages to userspace", v6.
Currently a non-slab kernel page which has been charged to a memory cgroup
can't be mapped to userspace. The underlying reason is simple: PageKmemcg
flag is defined as a page type (like buddy, offline, etc), so it takes a
bit from a page->mapped counter. Pages with a type set can't be mapped to
userspace.
But in general the kmemcg flag has nothing to do with mapping to
userspace. It only means that the page has been accounted by the page
allocator, so it has to be properly uncharged on release.
Some bpf maps are mapping the vmalloc-based memory to userspace, and their
memory can't be accounted because of this implementation detail.
This patchset removes this limitation by moving the PageKmemcg flag into
one of the free bits of the page->mem_cgroup pointer. Also it formalizes
accesses to the page->mem_cgroup and page->obj_cgroups using new helpers,
adds several checks and removes a couple of obsolete functions. As the
result the code became more robust with fewer open-coded bit tricks.
This patch (of 4):
Currently there are many open-coded reads of the page->mem_cgroup pointer,
as well as a couple of read helpers, which are barely used.
It creates an obstacle on a way to reuse some bits of the pointer for
storing additional bits of information. In fact, we already do this for
slab pages, where the last bit indicates that a pointer has an attached
vector of objcg pointers instead of a regular memcg pointer.
This commits uses 2 existing helpers and introduces a new helper to
converts all read sides to calls of these helpers:
struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg(struct page *page);
struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg_rcu(struct page *page);
struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg_check(struct page *page);
page_memcg_check() is intended to be used in cases when the page can be a
slab page and have a memcg pointer pointing at objcg vector. It does
check the lowest bit, and if set, returns NULL. page_memcg() contains a
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() check for the page not being a slab page.
To make sure nobody uses a direct access, struct page's
mem_cgroup/obj_cgroups is converted to unsigned long memcg_data.

0day reported one -22.7% regression for will-it-scale page_fault2
case [1] on a 4 sockets 144 CPU platform, and bisected to it to be
caused by Waiman's optimization (commit bd0b230fe1) of saving one
'struct page_counter' space for 'struct mem_cgroup'.
Initially we thought it was due to the cache alignment change introduced
by the patch, but further debug shows that it is due to some hot data
members ('vmstats_local', 'vmstats_percpu', 'vmstats') sit in 2 adjacent
cacheline (2N and 2N+1 cacheline), and when adjacent cache line prefetch
is enabled, it triggers an "extended level" of cache false sharing for
2 adjacent cache lines.
So exchange the 2 member blocks, while keeping mostly the original
cache alignment, which can restore and even enhance the performance,
and save 64 bytes of space for 'struct mem_cgroup' (from 2880 to 2816,
with 0day's default RHEL-8.3 kernel config)

If a memcg to charge can be determined (using remote charging API), there
are no reasons to exclude allocations made from an interrupt context from
the accounting.
Such allocations will pass even if the resulting memcg size will exceed
the hard limit, but it will affect the application of the memory pressure
and an inability to put the workload under the limit will eventually
trigger the OOM.
To use active_memcg() helper, memcg_kmem_bypass() is moved back to

The swap page counter is v2 only while memsw is v1 only. As v1 and v2
controllers cannot be active at the same time, there is no point to keep
both swap and memsw page counters in mem_cgroup. The previous patch has
made sure that memsw page counter is updated and accessed only when in v1
code paths. So it is now safe to alias the v1 memsw page counter to v2
swap page counter. This saves 14 long's in the size of mem_cgroup. This
is a saving of 112 bytes for 64-bit archs.
While at it, also document which page counters are used in v1 and/or v2.

Percpu memory can represent a noticeable chunk of the total memory
consumption, especially on big machines with many CPUs. Let's track
percpu memory usage for each memcg and display it in memory.stat.
A percpu allocation is usually scattered over multiple pages (and nodes),
and can be significantly smaller than a page. So let's add a byte-sized
counter on the memcg level: MEMCG_PERCPU_B. Byte-sized vmstat infra
created for slabs can be perfectly reused for percpu case.

mem_cgroup_protected currently is both used to set effective low and min
and return a mem_cgroup_protection based on the result. As a user, this
can be a little unexpected: it appears to be a simple predicate function,
if not for the big warning in the comment above about the order in which
it must be executed.
This change makes it so that we separate the state mutations from the
actual protection checks, which makes it more obvious where we need to be
careful mutating internal state, and where we are simply checking and
don't need to worry about that.

Patch series "mm, memcg: memory.{low,min} reclaim fix & cleanup", v4.
This series contains a fix for a edge case in my earlier protection
calculation patches, and a patch to make the area overall a little more
robust to hopefully help avoid this in future.
This patch (of 2):
A cgroup can have both memory protection and a memory limit to isolate it
from its siblings in both directions - for example, to prevent it from
being shrunk below 2G under high pressure from outside, but also from
growing beyond 4G under low pressure.
Commit 9783aa9917 ("mm, memcg: proportional memory.{low,min} reclaim")
implemented proportional scan pressure so that multiple siblings in excess
of their protection settings don't get reclaimed equally but instead in
accordance to their unprotected portion.
During limit reclaim, this proportionality shouldn't apply of course:
there is no competition, all pressure is from within the cgroup and should
be applied as such. Reclaim should operate at full efficiency.
However, mem_cgroup_protected() never expected anybody to look at the
effective protection values when it indicated that the cgroup is above its
protection. As a result, a query during limit reclaim may return stale
protection values that were calculated by a previous reclaim cycle in
which the cgroup did have siblings.
When this happens, reclaim is unnecessarily hesitant and potentially slow
to meet the desired limit. In theory this could lead to premature OOM
kills, although it's not obvious this has occurred in practice.
Workaround the problem by special casing reclaim roots in
mem_cgroup_protection. These memcgs are never participating in the
reclaim protection because the reclaim is internal.
We have to ignore effective protection values for reclaim roots because
mem_cgroup_protected might be called from racing reclaim contexts with
different roots. Calculation is relying on root -> leaf tree traversal
therefore top-down reclaim protection invariants should hold. The only
exception is the reclaim root which should have effective protection set
to 0 but that would be problematic for the following setup:
Let's have global and A's reclaim in parallel:
|
A (low=2G, usage = 3G, max = 3G, children_low_usage = 1.5G)
|\
| C (low = 1G, usage = 2.5G)
B (low = 1G, usage = 0.5G)
for A reclaim we have
B.elow = B.low
C.elow = C.low
For the global reclaim
A.elow = A.low
B.elow = min(B.usage, B.low) because children_low_usage <= A.elow
C.elow = min(C.usage, C.low)
With the effective values resetting we have A reclaim
A.elow = 0
B.elow = B.low
C.elow = C.low
and global reclaim could see the above and then
B.elow = C.elow = 0 because children_low_usage > A.elow
Which means that protected memcgs would get reclaimed.
In future we would like to make mem_cgroup_protected more robust against
racing reclaim contexts but that is likely more complex solution than this
simple workaround.

Currently memcg_kmem_enabled() is optimized for the kernel memory
accounting being off. It was so for a long time, and arguably the reason
behind was that the kernel memory accounting was initially an opt-in
feature. However, now it's on by default on both cgroup v1 and cgroup v2,
and it's on for all cgroups. So let's switch over to
static_branch_likely() to reflect this fact.
Unlikely there is a significant performance difference, as the cost of a
memory allocation and its accounting significantly exceeds the cost of a
jump. However, the conversion makes the code look more logically.

Because the number of non-root kmem_caches doesn't depend on the number of
memory cgroups anymore and is generally not very big, there is no more
need for a dedicated workqueue.
Also, as there is no more need to pass any arguments to the
memcg_create_kmem_cache() except the root kmem_cache, it's possible to
just embed the work structure into the kmem_cache and avoid the dynamic
allocation of the work structure.
This will also simplify the synchronization: for each root kmem_cache
there is only one work. So there will be no more concurrent attempts to
create a non-root kmem_cache for a root kmem_cache: the second and all
following attempts to queue the work will fail.
On the kmem_cache destruction path there is no more need to call the
expensive flush_workqueue() and wait for all pending works to be finished.
Instead, cancel_work_sync() can be used to cancel/wait for only one work.

This is fairly big but mostly red patch, which makes all accounted slab
allocations use a single set of kmem_caches instead of creating a separate
set for each memory cgroup.
Because the number of non-root kmem_caches is now capped by the number of
root kmem_caches, there is no need to shrink or destroy them prematurely.
They can be perfectly destroyed together with their root counterparts.
This allows to dramatically simplify the management of non-root
kmem_caches and delete a ton of code.
This patch performs the following changes:
1) introduces memcg_params.memcg_cache pointer to represent the
kmem_cache which will be used for all non-root allocations
2) reuses the existing memcg kmem_cache creation mechanism
to create memcg kmem_cache on the first allocation attempt
3) memcg kmem_caches are named <kmemcache_name>-memcg,
e.g. dentry-memcg
4) simplifies memcg_kmem_get_cache() to just return memcg kmem_cache
or schedule it's creation and return the root cache
5) removes almost all non-root kmem_cache management code
(separate refcounter, reparenting, shrinking, etc)
6) makes slab debugfs to display root_mem_cgroup css id and never
show :dead and :deact flags in the memcg_slabinfo attribute.
Following patches in the series will simplify the kmem_cache creation.

Store the obj_cgroup pointer in the corresponding place of
page->obj_cgroups for each allocated non-root slab object. Make sure that
each allocated object holds a reference to obj_cgroup.
Objcg pointer is obtained from the memcg->objcg dereferencing in
memcg_kmem_get_cache() and passed from pre_alloc_hook to post_alloc_hook.
Then in case of successful allocation(s) it's getting stored in the
page->obj_cgroups vector.
The objcg obtaining part look a bit bulky now, but it will be simplified
by next commits in the series.

Obj_cgroup API provides an ability to account sub-page sized kernel
objects, which potentially outlive the original memory cgroup.
The top-level API consists of the following functions:
bool obj_cgroup_tryget(struct obj_cgroup *objcg);
void obj_cgroup_get(struct obj_cgroup *objcg);
void obj_cgroup_put(struct obj_cgroup *objcg);
int obj_cgroup_charge(struct obj_cgroup *objcg, gfp_t gfp, size_t size);
void obj_cgroup_uncharge(struct obj_cgroup *objcg, size_t size);
struct mem_cgroup *obj_cgroup_memcg(struct obj_cgroup *objcg);
struct obj_cgroup *get_obj_cgroup_from_current(void);
Object cgroup is basically a pointer to a memory cgroup with a per-cpu
reference counter. It substitutes a memory cgroup in places where it's
necessary to charge a custom amount of bytes instead of pages.
All charged memory rounded down to pages is charged to the corresponding
memory cgroup using __memcg_kmem_charge().
It implements reparenting: on memcg offlining it's getting reattached to
the parent memory cgroup. Each online memory cgroup has an associated
active object cgroup to handle new allocations and the list of all
attached object cgroups. On offlining of a cgroup this list is reparented
and for each object cgroup in the list the memcg pointer is swapped to the
parent memory cgroup. It prevents long-living objects from pinning the
original memory cgroup in the memory.
The implementation is based on byte-sized per-cpu stocks. A sub-page
sized leftover is stored in an atomic field, which is a part of obj_cgroup
object. So on cgroup offlining the leftover is automatically reparented.
memcg->objcg is rcu protected. objcg->memcg is a raw pointer, which is
always pointing at a memory cgroup, but can be atomically swapped to the
parent memory cgroup. So a user must ensure the lifetime of the
cgroup, e.g. grab rcu_read_lock or css_set_lock.

Patch series "The new cgroup slab memory controller", v7.
The patchset moves the accounting from the page level to the object level.
It allows to share slab pages between memory cgroups. This leads to a
significant win in the slab utilization (up to 45%) and the corresponding
drop in the total kernel memory footprint. The reduced number of
unmovable slab pages should also have a positive effect on the memory
fragmentation.
The patchset makes the slab accounting code simpler: there is no more need
in the complicated dynamic creation and destruction of per-cgroup slab
caches, all memory cgroups use a global set of shared slab caches. The
lifetime of slab caches is not more connected to the lifetime of memory
cgroups.
The more precise accounting does require more CPU, however in practice the
difference seems to be negligible. We've been using the new slab
controller in Facebook production for several months with different
workloads and haven't seen any noticeable regressions. What we've seen
were memory savings in order of 1 GB per host (it varied heavily depending
on the actual workload, size of RAM, number of CPUs, memory pressure,
etc).
The third version of the patchset added yet another step towards the
simplification of the code: sharing of slab caches between accounted and
non-accounted allocations. It comes with significant upsides (most
noticeable, a complete elimination of dynamic slab caches creation) but
not without some regression risks, so this change sits on top of the
patchset and is not completely merged in. So in the unlikely event of a
noticeable performance regression it can be reverted separately.
The slab memory accounting works in exactly the same way for SLAB and
SLUB. With both allocators the new controller shows significant memory
savings, with SLUB the difference is bigger. On my 16-core desktop
machine running Fedora 32 the size of the slab memory measured after the
start of the system was lower by 58% and 38% with SLUB and SLAB
correspondingly.
As an estimation of a potential CPU overhead, below are results of
slab_bulk_test01 test, kindly provided by Jesper D. Brouer. He also
helped with the evaluation of results.

We split the LRU lists into anon and file, and we rebalance the scan
pressure between them when one of them begins thrashing: if the file cache
experiences workingset refaults, we increase the pressure on anonymous
pages; if the workload is stalled on swapins, we increase the pressure on
the file cache instead.
With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this
correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU
order among the pages of all involved cgroups, LRU pressure balancing is
done on an individual cgroup LRU level. As a result, when one cgroup is
thrashing on the filesystem cache while a sibling may have cold anonymous
pages, pressure doesn't get equalized between them.
This patch moves LRU balancing decision to the root of reclaim - the same
level where the LRU order is established.
It does this by tracking LRU cost recursively, so that every level of the
cgroup tree knows the aggregate LRU cost of all memory within its domain.
When the page scanner calculates the scan balance for any given individual
cgroup's LRU list, it uses the values from the ancestor cgroup that
initiated the reclaim cycle.
If one sibling is then thrashing on the cache, it will tip the pressure
balance inside its ancestors, and the next hierarchical reclaim iteration
will go more after the anon pages in the tree.

A few cleanups to streamline the swap controller setup:
- Replace the do_swap_account flag with cgroup_memory_noswap. This
brings it in line with other functionality that is usually available
unless explicitly opted out of - nosocket, nokmem.
- Remove the really_do_swap_account flag that stores the boot option
and is later used to switch the do_swap_account. It's not clear why
this indirection is/was necessary. Use do_swap_account directly.
- Minor coding style polishing

Memcg maintains a private MEMCG_RSS counter. This divergence from the

Convert the generic accounting sites to mod_lruvec_page_state and friends
to maintain the per-cgroup vmstat counter of NR_ANON_MAPPED. We use
lock_page_memcg() to stabilize page->mem_cgroup during rmap changes, the
same way we do for NR_FILE_MAPPED.
With the previous patch removing MEMCG_CACHE and the private NR_SHMEM
counter, this patch finally eliminates the need to have page->mapping set
up at charge time. However, we need to have page->mem_cgroup set up by
the time rmap runs and does the accounting, so switch the commit and the

The try/commit/cancel protocol that memcg uses dates back to when pages
used to be uncharged upon removal from the page cache, and thus couldn't
be committed before the insertion had succeeded. Nowadays, pages are
uncharged when they are physically freed; it doesn't matter whether the
insertion was successful or not. For the page cache, the transaction
dance has become unnecessary.
Introduce a mem_cgroup_charge() function that simply charges a newly
allocated page to a cgroup and sets up page->mem_cgroup in one single
step. If the insertion fails, the caller doesn't have to do anything but
free/put the page.
Then switch the page cache over to this new API.
Subsequent patches will also convert anon pages, but it needs a bit more
prep work. Right now, memcg depends on page->mapping being already set up
at the time of charging, so that it can maintain its own MEMCG_CACHE and
MEMCG_RSS counters. For anon, page->mapping is set under the same pte
lock under which the page is publishd, so a single charge point that can
block doesn't work there just yet.
The following prep patches will replace the private memcg counters with
the generic vmstat counters, thus removing the page->mapping dependency,
then complete the transition to the new single-point charge API and delete
the old transactional scheme.

The memcg charging API carries a boolean @compound parameter that tells
whether the page we're dealing with is a hugepage.
mem_cgroup_commit_charge() has another boolean @lrucare that indicates
whether the page needs LRU locking or not while charging. The majority of
callsites know those parameters at compile time, which results in a lot of
naked "false, false" argument lists. This makes for cryptic code and is a
breeding ground for subtle mistakes.
Thankfully, the huge page state can be inferred from the page itself and
doesn't need to be passed along. This is safe because charging completes
before the page is published and somebody may split it.
Simplify the callsites by removing @compound, and let memcg infer the
state by using hpage_nr_pages() unconditionally. That function does
PageTransHuge() to identify huge pages, which also helpfully asserts that
nobody passes in tail pages by accident.
The following patches will introduce a new charging API, best not to carry
over unnecessary weight.

Add a memory.swap.high knob, which can be used to protect the system
from SWAP exhaustion. The mechanism used for penalizing is similar to
memory.high penalty (sleep on return to user space).
That is not to say that the knob itself is equivalent to memory.high.
The objective is more to protect the system from potentially buggy tasks
consuming a lot of swap and impacting other tasks, or even bringing the
whole system to stand still with complete SWAP exhaustion. Hopefully
without the need to find per-task hard limits.
Slowing misbehaving tasks down gradually allows user space oom killers
or other protection mechanisms to react. oomd and earlyoom already do
killing based on swap exhaustion, and memory.swap.high protection will
help implement such userspace oom policies more reliably.
We can use one counter for number of pages allocated under pressure to
save struct task space and avoid two separate hierarchy walks on the hot
path. The exact overage is calculated on return to user space, anyway.
Take the new high limit into account when determining if swap is "full".
Borrowing the explanation from Johannes:
The idea behind "swap full" is that as long as the workload has plenty
of swap space available and it's not changing its memory contents, it
makes sense to generously hold on to copies of data in the swap device,
even after the swapin. A later reclaim cycle can drop the page without
any IO. Trading disk space for IO.
But the only two ways to reclaim a swap slot is when they're faulted
in and the references go away, or by scanning the virtual address space
like swapoff does - which is very expensive (one could argue it's too
expensive even for swapoff, it's often more practical to just reboot).
So at some point in the fill level, we have to start freeing up swap
slots on fault/swapin. Otherwise we could eventually run out of swap
slots while they're filled with copies of data that is also in RAM.
We don't want to OOM a workload because its available swap space is
filled with redundant cache.

inconsistent behavior between root memcg and non-root memcg.
Here's an example on why this behavior is inconsistent in cgroup1.
root memcg
/
memcg foo
/
memcg bar
Suppose there's an oom_kill in memcg bar, then the oon_kill will be
root memcg : memory.oom_control(oom_kill) 0
/
memcg foo : memory.oom_control(oom_kill) 1
/
memcg bar : memory.oom_control(oom_kill) 1
For the non-root memcg, its memory.oom_control(oom_kill) includes its
descendants' oom_kill, but for root memcg, it doesn't include its
descendants' oom_kill. That means, memory.oom_control(oom_kill) has
different meanings in different memcgs. That is inconsistent. Then the
user has to know whether the memcg is root or not.
If we can't fully support it in cgroup1, for example by adding
memory.events.local into cgroup1 as well, then let's don't touch its
original behavior.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Patch series "mm: memcg: kmem API cleanup", v2.
This patchset aims to clean up the kernel memory charging API. It doesn't
bring any functional changes, just removes unused arguments, renames some
functions and fixes some comments.
Currently it's not obvious which functions are most basic
(memcg_kmem_(un)charge_memcg()) and which are based on them
(memcg_kmem_(un)charge()). The patchset renames these functions and
removes unused arguments:
TL;DR:
was:
memcg_kmem_charge_memcg(page, gfp, order, memcg)
memcg_kmem_uncharge_memcg(memcg, nr_pages)
memcg_kmem_charge(page, gfp, order)
memcg_kmem_uncharge(page, order)
now:
memcg_kmem_charge(memcg, gfp, nr_pages)
memcg_kmem_uncharge(memcg, nr_pages)
memcg_kmem_charge_page(page, gfp, order)
memcg_kmem_uncharge_page(page, order)
This patch (of 6):
The first argument of memcg_kmem_charge_memcg() and
__memcg_kmem_charge_memcg() is the page pointer and it's not used. Let's
drop it.
Memcg pointer is passed as the last argument. Move it to the first place
for consistency with other memcg functions, e.g.
__memcg_kmem_uncharge_memcg() or try_charge().

Depending on CONFIG_VMAP_STACK and the THREAD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE ratio the
space for task stacks can be allocated using __vmalloc_node_range(),
alloc_pages_node() and kmem_cache_alloc_node().
In the first and the second cases page->mem_cgroup pointer is set, but
in the third it's not: memcg membership of a slab page should be
determined using the memcg_from_slab_page() function, which looks at
page->slab_cache->memcg_params.memcg . In this case, using
mod_memcg_page_state() (as in account_kernel_stack()) is incorrect:
page->mem_cgroup pointer is NULL even for pages charged to a non-root
memory cgroup.
It can lead to kernel_stack per-memcg counters permanently showing 0 on
some architectures (depending on the configuration).
In order to fix it, let's introduce a mod_memcg_obj_state() helper,
which takes a pointer to a kernel object as a first argument, uses
mem_cgroup_from_obj() to get a RCU-protected memcg pointer and calls
mod_memcg_state(). It allows to handle all possible configurations
(CONFIG_VMAP_STACK and various THREAD_SIZE/PAGE_SIZE values) without
spilling any memcg/kmem specifics into fork.c .

We use refault information to determine whether the cache workingset is
stable or transitioning, and dynamically adjust the inactive:active file
LRU ratio so as to maximize protection from one-off cache during stable
periods, and minimize IO during transitions.
With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this
correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU
order among the pages of all involved cgroups, refaults only affect the
local LRU order in the cgroup in which they are occuring. As a result,
cache transitions can take longer in a cgrouped system as the active pages
of sibling cgroups aren't challenged when they should be.
[ Right now, this is somewhat theoretical, because the siblings, under
continued regular reclaim pressure, should eventually run out of
inactive pages - and since inactive:active *size* balancing is also
done on a cgroup-local level, we will challenge the active pages
eventually in most cases. But the next patch will move that relative
size enforcement to the reclaim root as well, and then this patch
here will be necessary to propagate refault pressure to siblings. ]
This patch moves refault detection to the root of reclaim. Instead of
remembering the cgroup owner of an evicted page, remember the cgroup that
caused the reclaim to happen. When refaults later occur, they'll
correctly influence the cross-cgroup LRU order that reclaim follows.
I.e. if global reclaim kicked out pages in some subgroup A/B/C, the
refault of those pages will challenge the global LRU order, and not just
the local order down inside C.

The current writeback congestion tracking has separate flags for kswapd

unnecessarily complicated: the lruvec is an existing abstraction layer for
that node-memcg intersection.
Introduce lruvec->flags and LRUVEC_CONGESTED. Then track that at the
reclaim root level, which is either the NUMA node for global reclaim, or
the cgroup-node intersection for cgroup reclaim.

There is a per-memcg lruvec and a NUMA node lruvec. Which one is being
used is somewhat confusing right now, and it's easy to make mistakes -
especially when it comes to global reclaim.
How it works: when memory cgroups are enabled, we always use the
root_mem_cgroup's per-node lruvecs. When memory cgroups are not compiled
in or disabled at runtime, we use pgdat->lruvec.
Document that in a comment.
Due to the way the reclaim code is generalized, all lookups use the
mem_cgroup_lruvec() helper function, and nobody should have to find the
right lruvec manually right now. But to avoid future mistakes, rename the
pgdat->lruvec member to pgdat->__lruvec and delete the convenience wrapper
that suggests it's a commonly accessed member.
While in this area, swap the mem_cgroup_lruvec() argument order. The name
suggests a memcg operation, yet it takes a pgdat first and a memcg second.
I have to double take every time I call this. Fix that.

to the reclaim priority. So, there is no need to maintain state
regarding which node to start the memcg reclaim from.

This patch is an incremental improvement on the existing
memory.{low,min} relative reclaim work to base its scan pressure
calculations on how much protection is available compared to the current
usage, rather than how much the current usage is over some protection
threshold.
This change doesn't change the experience for the user in the normal
case too much. One benefit is that it replaces the (somewhat arbitrary)
100% cutoff with an indefinite slope, which makes it easier to ballpark
a memory.low value.
As well as this, the old methodology doesn't quite apply generically to
machines with varying amounts of physical memory. Let's say we have a
top level cgroup, workload.slice, and another top level cgroup,
system-management.slice. We want to roughly give 12G to
system-management.slice, so on a 32GB machine we set memory.low to 20GB
in workload.slice, and on a 64GB machine we set memory.low to 52GB.
However, because these are relative amounts to the total machine size,
while the amount of memory we want to generally be willing to yield to
system.slice is absolute (12G), we end up putting more pressure on
system.slice just because we have a larger machine and a larger workload
to fill it, which seems fairly unintuitive. With this new behaviour, we
don't end up with this unintended side effect.
Previously the way that memory.low protection works is that if you are
50% over a certain baseline, you get 50% of your normal scan pressure.
This is certainly better than the previous cliff-edge behaviour, but it
can be improved even further by always considering memory under the
currently enforced protection threshold to be out of bounds. This means
that we can set relatively low memory.low thresholds for variable or
bursty workloads while still getting a reasonable level of protection,
whereas with the previous version we may still trivially hit the 100%
clamp. The previous 100% clamp is also somewhat arbitrary, whereas this
one is more concretely based on the currently enforced protection
threshold, which is likely easier to reason about.
There is also a subtle issue with the way that proportional reclaim
worked previously -- it promotes having no memory.low, since it makes
pressure higher during low reclaim. This happens because we base our
scan pressure modulation on how far memory.current is between memory.min
and memory.low, but if memory.low is unset, we only use the overage
method. In most cromulent configurations, this then means that we end
up with *more* pressure than with no memory.low at all when we're in low
reclaim, which is not really very usable or expected.
With this patch, memory.low and memory.min affect reclaim pressure in a
more understandable and composable way. For example, from a user
standpoint, "protected" memory now remains untouchable from a reclaim
aggression standpoint, and users can also have more confidence that
bursty workloads will still receive some amount of guaranteed
protection.

Roman points out that when when we do the low reclaim pass, we scale the
reclaim pressure relative to position between 0 and the maximum
protection threshold.
However, if the maximum protection is based on memory.elow, and
memory.emin is above zero, this means we still may get binary behaviour
on second-pass low reclaim. This is because we scale starting at 0, not
starting at memory.emin, and since we don't scan at all below emin, we
end up with cliff behaviour.
This should be a fairly uncommon case since usually we don't go into the
second pass, but it makes sense to scale our low reclaim pressure
starting at emin.
You can test this by catting two large sparse files, one in a cgroup
with emin set to some moderate size compared to physical RAM, and
another cgroup without any emin. In both cgroups, set an elow larger
than 50% of physical RAM. The one with emin will have less page
scanning, as reclaim pressure is lower.

cgroup v2 introduces two memory protection thresholds: memory.low
(best-effort) and memory.min (hard protection). While they generally do
what they say on the tin, there is a limitation in their implementation
that makes them difficult to use effectively: that cliff behaviour often
manifests when they become eligible for reclaim. This patch implements
more intuitive and usable behaviour, where we gradually mount more
reclaim pressure as cgroups further and further exceed their protection
thresholds.
This cliff edge behaviour happens because we only choose whether or not
to reclaim based on whether the memcg is within its protection limits
(see the use of mem_cgroup_protected in shrink_node), but we don't vary
our reclaim behaviour based on this information. Imagine the following
timeline, with the numbers the lruvec size in this zone:
1. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=999999. 0 pages may be scanned.
2. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000000. 0 pages may be scanned.
3. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000001. 1000001* pages may be
scanned. (?!)
* Of course, we won't usually scan all available pages in the zone even
without this patch because of scan control priority, over-reclaim
protection, etc. However, as shown by the tests at the end, these
techniques don't sufficiently throttle such an extreme change in input,
so cliff-like behaviour isn't really averted by their existence alone.
Here's an example of how this plays out in practice. At Facebook, we are
trying to protect various workloads from "system" software, like
configuration management tools, metric collectors, etc (see this[0] case
study). In order to find a suitable memory.low value, we start by
determining the expected memory range within which the workload will be
comfortable operating. This isn't an exact science -- memory usage deemed
"comfortable" will vary over time due to user behaviour, differences in
composition of work, etc, etc. As such we need to ballpark memory.low,
but doing this is currently problematic:
1. If we end up setting it too low for the workload, it won't have
*any* effect (see discussion above). The group will receive the full
weight of reclaim and won't have any priority while competing with the
less important system software, as if we had no memory.low configured
at all.
2. Because of this behaviour, we end up erring on the side of setting
it too high, such that the comfort range is reliably covered. However,
protected memory is completely unavailable to the rest of the system,
so we might cause undue memory and IO pressure there when we *know* we
have some elasticity in the workload.
3. Even if we get the value totally right, smack in the middle of the
comfort zone, we get extreme jumps between no pressure and full
pressure that cause unpredictable pressure spikes in the workload due
to the current binary reclaim behaviour.
With this patch, we can set it to our ballpark estimation without too much
worry. Any undesirable behaviour, such as too much or too little reclaim
pressure on the workload or system will be proportional to how far our
estimation is off. This means we can set memory.low much more
conservatively and thus waste less resources *without* the risk of the
workload falling off a cliff if we overshoot.
As a more abstract technical description, this unintuitive behaviour
results in having to give high-priority workloads a large protection
buffer on top of their expected usage to function reliably, as otherwise
we have abrupt periods of dramatically increased memory pressure which
hamper performance. Having to set these thresholds so high wastes
resources and generally works against the principle of work conservation.
In addition, having proportional memory reclaim behaviour has other
benefits. Most notably, before this patch it's basically mandatory to set
memory.low to a higher than desirable value because otherwise as soon as
you exceed memory.low, all protection is lost, and all pages are eligible
to scan again. By contrast, having a gradual ramp in reclaim pressure
means that you now still get some protection when thresholds are exceeded,
which means that one can now be more comfortable setting memory.low to
lower values without worrying that all protection will be lost. This is
important because workingset size is really hard to know exactly,
especially with variable workloads, so at least getting *some* protection
if your workingset size grows larger than you expect increases user
confidence in setting memory.low without a huge buffer on top being
needed.
Thanks a lot to Johannes Weiner and Tejun Heo for their advice and
assistance in thinking about how to make this work better.
In testing these changes, I intended to verify that:
1. Changes in page scanning become gradual and proportional instead of
binary.
To test this, I experimented stepping further and further down
memory.low protection on a workload that floats around 19G workingset
when under memory.low protection, watching page scan rates for the
workload cgroup:
+------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+
| memory.low | test (pgscan/s) | control (pgscan/s) | % of control |
+------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+
| 21G | 0 | 0 | N/A |
| 17G | 867 | 3799 | 23% |
| 12G | 1203 | 3543 | 34% |
| 8G | 2534 | 3979 | 64% |
| 4G | 3980 | 4147 | 96% |

As you can see, the test kernel (with a kernel containing this
patch) ramps up page scanning significantly more gradually than the
control kernel (without this patch).
2. More gradual ramp up in reclaim aggression doesn't result in
premature OOMs.
To test this, I wrote a script that slowly increments the number of
pages held by stress(1)'s --vm-keep mode until a production system
entered severe overall memory contention. This script runs in a highly
protected slice taking up the majority of available system memory.
Watching vmstat revealed that page scanning continued essentially
nominally between test and control, without causing forward reclaim
progress to become arrested.

In kdump kernel, memcg usually is disabled with 'cgroup_disable=memory'

Via the trace and with debugging, it is pointing to commit 97b27821b4
("writeback, memcg: Implement foreign dirty flushing") which introduced
this regression. Disabling memcg causes the null pointer dereference at
uninitialized data in function mem_cgroup_track_foreign_dirty_slowpath().
Fix it by returning directly if memcg is disabled, but not trying to
record the foreign writebacks with dirty pages.

Currently THP deferred split shrinker is not memcg aware, this may cause
premature OOM with some configuration. For example the below test would
run into premature OOM easily:
$ cgcreate -g memory:thp
$ echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/thp/memory/limit_in_bytes
$ cgexec -g memory:thp transhuge-stress 4000
transhuge-stress comes from kernel selftest.
It is easy to hit OOM, but there are still a lot THP on the deferred split
queue, memcg direct reclaim can't touch them since the deferred split
shrinker is not memcg aware.
Convert deferred split shrinker memcg aware by introducing per memcg
deferred split queue. The THP should be on either per node or per memcg
deferred split queue if it belongs to a memcg. When the page is
immigrated to the other memcg, it will be immigrated to the target memcg's
deferred split queue too.
Reuse the second tail page's deferred_list for per memcg list since the
same THP can't be on multiple deferred split queues.

Currently shrinker is just allocated and can work when memcg kmem is
enabled. But, THP deferred split shrinker is not slab shrinker, it
doesn't make too much sense to have such shrinker depend on memcg kmem.
It should be able to reclaim THP even though memcg kmem is disabled.
Introduce a new shrinker flag, SHRINKER_NONSLAB, for non-slab shrinker.
When memcg kmem is disabled, just such shrinkers can be called in
shrinking memcg slab.

There's an inherent mismatch between memcg and writeback. The former
trackes ownership per-page while the latter per-inode. This was a
deliberate design decision because honoring per-page ownership in the
writeback path is complicated, may lead to higher CPU and IO overheads
and deemed unnecessary given that write-sharing an inode across
different cgroups isn't a common use-case.
Combined with inode majority-writer ownership switching, this works
well enough in most cases but there are some pathological cases. For
example, let's say there are two cgroups A and B which keep writing to
different but confined parts of the same inode. B owns the inode and
A's memory is limited far below B's. A's dirty ratio can rise enough
to trigger balance_dirty_pages() sleeps but B's can be low enough to
avoid triggering background writeback. A will be slowed down without
a way to make writeback of the dirty pages happen.
This patch implements foreign dirty recording and foreign mechanism so
that when a memcg encounters a condition as above it can trigger
flushes on bdi_writebacks which can clean its pages. Please see the
comment on top of mem_cgroup_track_foreign_dirty_slowpath() for
details.

Memcg counters for shadow nodes are broken because the memcg pointer is
obtained in a wrong way. The following approach is used:
virt_to_page(xa_node)->mem_cgroup
Since commit 4d96ba3530 ("mm: memcg/slab: stop setting
page->mem_cgroup pointer for slab pages") page->mem_cgroup pointer isn't
set for slab pages, so memcg_from_slab_page() should be used instead.
Also I doubt that it ever worked correctly: virt_to_head_page() should
be used instead of virt_to_page(). Otherwise objects residing on tail
pages are not accounted, because only the head page contains a valid
mem_cgroup pointer. That was a case since the introduction of these
counters by the commit 68d48e6a2d ("mm: workingset: add vmstat counter
for shadow nodes").

oom_unkillable_task() can be called from three different contexts i.e.
global OOM, memcg OOM and oom_score procfs interface. At the moment
oom_unkillable_task() does a task_in_mem_cgroup() check on the given
process. Since there is no reason to perform task_in_mem_cgroup()
check for global OOM and oom_score procfs interface, those contexts
provide NULL memcg and skips the task_in_mem_cgroup() check. However
for memcg OOM context, the oom_unkillable_task() is always called from
mem_cgroup_scan_tasks() and thus task_in_mem_cgroup() check becomes
redundant and effectively dead code. So, just remove the
task_in_mem_cgroup() check altogether.

The memory controller in cgroup v2 exposes memory.events file for each
memcg which shows the number of times events like low, high, max, oom
and oom_kill have happened for the whole tree rooted at that memcg.
Users can also poll or register notification to monitor the changes in
that file. Any event at any level of the tree rooted at memcg will
notify all the listeners along the path till root_mem_cgroup. There are
existing users which depend on this behavior.
However there are users which are only interested in the events
happening at a specific level of the memcg tree and not in the events in
the underlying tree rooted at that memcg. One such use-case is a
centralized resource monitor which can dynamically adjust the limits of
the jobs running on a system. The jobs can create their sub-hierarchy
for their own sub-tasks. The centralized monitor is only interested in
the events at the top level memcgs of the jobs as it can then act and
adjust the limits of the jobs. Using the current memory.events for such
centralized monitor is very inconvenient. The monitor will keep
receiving events which it is not interested and to find if the received
event is interesting, it has to read memory.event files of the next
level and compare it with the top level one. So, let's introduce
memory.events.local to the memcg which shows and notify for the events
at the memcg level.
Now, does memory.stat and memory.pressure need their local versions. IMHO
no due to the no internal process contraint of the cgroup v2. The
memory.stat file of the top level memcg of a job shows the stats and
vmevents of the whole tree. The local stats or vmevents of the top level
memcg will only change if there is a process running in that memcg but v2
does not allow that. Similarly for memory.pressure there will not be any
process in the internal nodes and thus no chance of local pressure.

The kernel test robot noticed a 26% will-it-scale pagefault regression
from commit 42a3003535 ("mm: memcontrol: fix recursive statistics
correctness & scalabilty"). This appears to be caused by bouncing the
additional cachelines from the new hierarchical statistics counters.
We can fix this by getting rid of the batched local counters instead.
Originally, there were *only* group-local counters, and they were fully
maintained per cpu. A reader of a stats file high up in the cgroup tree
would have to walk the entire subtree and collect each level's per-cpu
counters to get the recursive view. This was prohibitively expensive,
and so we switched to per-cpu batched updates of the local counters
during a983b5ebee ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting"), reducing the complexity from nr_subgroups *
nr_cpus to nr_subgroups.
With growing machines and cgroup trees, the tree walk itself became too
expensive for monitoring top-level groups, and this is when the culprit
patch added hierarchy counters on each cgroup level. When the per-cpu
batch size would be reached, both the local and the hierarchy counters
would get batch-updated from the per-cpu delta simultaneously.
This makes local and hierarchical counter reads blazingly fast, but it
unfortunately makes the write-side too cache line intense.
Since local counter reads were never a problem - we only centralized
them to accelerate the hierarchy walk - and use of the local counters
are becoming rarer due to replacement with hierarchical views (ongoing
rework in the page reclaim and workingset code), we can make those local
counters unbatched per-cpu counters again.
The scheme will then be as such:
when a memcg statistic changes, the writer will:
- update the local counter (per-cpu)
- update the batch counter (per-cpu). If the batch is full:
- spill the batch into the group's atomic_t
- spill the batch into all ancestors' atomic_ts
- empty out the batch counter (per-cpu)
when a local memcg counter is read, the reader will:
- collect the local counter from all cpus
when a hiearchy memcg counter is read, the reader will:
- read the atomic_t
We might be able to simplify this further and make the recursive
counters unbatched per-cpu counters as well (batch upward propagation,
but leave per-cpu collection to the readers), but that will require a
more in-depth analysis and testing of all the callsites. Deal with the
immediate regression for now.

memory.stat and other files already consider subtrees in their output, and
we should too in order to not present an inconsistent interface.
The current situation is fairly confusing, because people interacting with
cgroups expect hierarchical behaviour in the vein of memory.stat,
cgroup.events, and other files. For example, this causes confusion when
debugging reclaim events under low, as currently these always read "0" at
non-leaf memcg nodes, which frequently causes people to misdiagnose breach
behaviour. The same confusion applies to other counters in this file when
debugging issues.
Aggregation is done at write time instead of at read-time since these
counters aren't hot (unlike memory.stat which is per-page, so it does it
at read time), and it makes sense to bundle this with the file
notifications.
After this patch, events are propagated up the hierarchy:
[root@ktst ~]# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/memory.events
low 0
high 0
max 0
oom 0
oom_kill 0
[root@ktst ~]# systemd-run -p MemoryMax=1 true
Running as unit: run-r251162a189fb4562b9dabfdc9b0422f5.service
[root@ktst ~]# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/memory.events
low 0
high 0
max 7
oom 1
oom_kill 1
As this is a change in behaviour, this can be reverted to the old
behaviour by mounting with the `memory_localevents' flag set. However, we
use the new behaviour by default as there's a lack of evidence that there
are any current users of memory.events that would find this change
undesirable.
akpm: this is a behaviour change, so Cc:stable. THis is so that
forthcoming distros which use cgroup v2 are more likely to pick up the
revised behaviour.

Right now, when somebody needs to know the recursive memory statistics
and events of a cgroup subtree, they need to walk the entire subtree and
sum up the counters manually.
There are two issues with this:
1. When a cgroup gets deleted, its stats are lost. The state counters
should all be 0 at that point, of course, but the events are not.
When this happens, the event counters, which are supposed to be
monotonic, can go backwards in the parent cgroups.
2. During regular operation, we always have a certain number of lazily
freed cgroups sitting around that have been deleted, have no tasks,
but have a few cache pages remaining. These groups' statistics do not
change until we eventually hit memory pressure, but somebody
watching, say, memory.stat on an ancestor has to iterate those every
time.
This patch addresses both issues by introducing recursive counters at
each level that are propagated from the write side when stats change.
Upward propagation happens when the per-cpu caches spill over into the
local atomic counter. This is the same thing we do during charge and
uncharge, except that the latter uses atomic RMWs, which are more
expensive; stat changes happen at around the same rate. In a sparse
file test (page faults and reclaim at maximum CPU speed) with 5 cgroup
nesting levels, perf shows __mod_memcg_page state at ~1%.

Patch series "mm: memcontrol: memory.stat cost & correctness".
The cgroup memory.stat file holds recursive statistics for the entire
subtree. The current implementation does this tree walk on-demand
whenever the file is read. This is giving us problems in production.
1. The cost of aggregating the statistics on-demand is high. A lot of
system service cgroups are mostly idle and their stats don't change
between reads, yet we always have to check them. There are also always
some lazily-dying cgroups sitting around that are pinned by a handful
of remaining page cache; the same applies to them.
In an application that periodically monitors memory.stat in our
fleet, we have seen the aggregation consume up to 5% CPU time.
2. When cgroups die and disappear from the cgroup tree, so do their
accumulated vm events. The result is that the event counters at
higher-level cgroups can go backwards and confuse some of our
automation, let alone people looking at the graphs over time.
To address both issues, this patch series changes the stat
implementation to spill counts upwards when the counters change.
The upward spilling is batched using the existing per-cpu cache. In a
sparse file stress test with 5 level cgroup nesting, the additional cost
of the flushing was negligible (a little under 1% of CPU at 100% CPU
utilization, compared to the 5% of reading memory.stat during regular
operation).
This patch (of 4):
memcg_page_state(), lruvec_page_state(), memcg_sum_events() are
currently returning the state of the local memcg or lruvec, not the
recursive state.
In practice there is a demand for both versions, although the callers
that want the recursive counts currently sum them up by hand.
Per default, cgroups are considered recursive entities and generally we
expect more users of the recursive counters, with the local counts being
special cases. To reflect that in the name, add a _local suffix to the
current implementations.
The following patch will re-incarnate these functions with recursive
semantics, but with an O(1) implementation.

I spent literally an hour trying to work out why an earlier version of
my memory.events aggregation code doesn't work properly, only to find
out I was calling memcg->events instead of memcg->memory_events, which
is fairly confusing.
This naming seems in need of reworking, so make it harder to do the
wrong thing by using vmevents instead of events, which makes it more
clear that these are vm counters rather than memcg-specific counters.
There are also a few other inconsistent names in both the percpu and
aggregated structs, so these are all cleaned up to be more coherent and
easy to understand.
This commit contains code cleanup only: there are no logic changes.

mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages() is just a convenience wrapper around
lruvec_page_state() that takes bitmasks of lru indexes and aggregates the

Replace callsites where the bitmask is simple enough with direct

This removes the last extern user of mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages(), so
make that function private again, too.

Since commit a983b5ebee ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting") memcg dirty and writeback counters are managed
as:
1) per-memcg per-cpu values in range of [-32..32]
2) per-memcg atomic counter
When a per-cpu counter cannot fit in [-32..32] it's flushed to the
atomic. Stat readers only check the atomic. Thus readers such as
balance_dirty_pages() may see a nontrivial error margin: 32 pages per
cpu.
Assuming 100 cpus:
4k x86 page_size: 13 MiB error per memcg
64k ppc page_size: 200 MiB error per memcg
Considering that dirty+writeback are used together for some decisions the
errors double.
This inaccuracy can lead to undeserved oom kills. One nasty case is
when all per-cpu counters hold positive values offsetting an atomic
negative value (i.e. per_cpu[*]=32, atomic=n_cpu*-32).
balance_dirty_pages() only consults the atomic and does not consider
throttling the next n_cpu*32 dirty pages. If the file_lru is in the
13..200 MiB range then there's absolutely no dirty throttling, which
burdens vmscan with only dirty+writeback pages thus resorting to oom
kill.
It could be argued that tiny containers are not supported, but it's more
subtle. It's the amount the space available for file lru that matters.
If a container has memory.max-200MiB of non reclaimable memory, then it
will also suffer such oom kills on a 100 cpu machine.
The following test reliably ooms without this patch. This patch avoids
oom kills.
$ cat test
mount -t cgroup2 none /dev/cgroup
cd /dev/cgroup
echo +io +memory > cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir test
cd test
echo 10M > memory.max
(echo $BASHPID > cgroup.procs && exec /memcg-writeback-stress /foo)
(echo $BASHPID > cgroup.procs && exec dd if=/dev/zero of=/foo bs=2M count=100)
$ cat memcg-writeback-stress.c
/*
* Dirty pages from all but one cpu.
* Clean pages from the non dirtying cpu.
* This is to stress per cpu counter imbalance.
* On a 100 cpu machine:
* - per memcg per cpu dirty count is 32 pages for each of 99 cpus
* - per memcg atomic is -99*32 pages
* - thus the complete dirty limit: sum of all counters 0
* - balance_dirty_pages() only sees atomic count -99*32 pages, which

}
Make balance_dirty_pages() and wb_over_bg_thresh() work harder to
collect exact per memcg counters. This avoids the aforementioned oom
kills.
This does not affect the overhead of memory.stat, which still reads the
single atomic counter.
Why not use percpu_counter? memcg already handles cpus going offline, so
no need for that overhead from percpu_counter. And the percpu_counter
spinlocks are more heavyweight than is required.
It probably also makes sense to use exact dirty and writeback counters
in memcg oom reports. But that is saved for later.

The current oom report doesn't display victim's memcg context during the
global OOM situation. While this information is not strictly needed, it
can be really helpful for containerized environments to locate which
container has lost a process. Now that we have a single line for the oom
context, we can trivially add both the oom memcg (this can be either
global_oom or a specific memcg which hits its hard limits) and task_memcg
which is the victim's memcg.
Below is the single line output in the oom report after this patch.
- global oom context information:

If CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is set, kernel stacks are allocated using
__vmalloc_node_range() with __GFP_ACCOUNT. So kernel stack pages are
charged against corresponding memory cgroups on allocation and uncharged
on releasing them.
The problem is that we do cache kernel stacks in small per-cpu caches and
do reuse them for new tasks, which can belong to different memory cgroups.
Each stack page still holds a reference to the original cgroup, so the
cgroup can't be released until the vmap area is released.
To make this happen we need more than two subsequent exits without forks
in between on the current cpu, which makes it very unlikely to happen. As
a result, I saw a significant number of dying cgroups (in theory, up to 2
* number_of_cpu + number_of_tasks), which can't be released even by
significant memory pressure.
As a cgroup structure can take a significant amount of memory (first of
all, per-cpu data like memcg statistics), it leads to a noticeable waste
of memory.

For some workloads an intervention from the OOM killer can be painful.
Killing a random task can bring the workload into an inconsistent state.
Historically, there are two common solutions for this
problem:
1) enabling panic_on_oom,
2) using a userspace daemon to monitor OOMs and kill
all outstanding processes.
Both approaches have their downsides: rebooting on each OOM is an obvious
waste of capacity, and handling all in userspace is tricky and requires a
userspace agent, which will monitor all cgroups for OOMs.
In most cases an in-kernel after-OOM cleaning-up mechanism can eliminate
the necessity of enabling panic_on_oom. Also, it can simplify the cgroup
management for userspace applications.
This commit introduces a new knob for cgroup v2 memory controller:
memory.oom.group. The knob determines whether the cgroup should be
treated as an indivisible workload by the OOM killer. If set, all tasks
belonging to the cgroup or to its descendants (if the memory cgroup is not
a leaf cgroup) are killed together or not at all.
To determine which cgroup has to be killed, we do traverse the cgroup
hierarchy from the victim task's cgroup up to the OOMing cgroup (or root)
and looking for the highest-level cgroup with memory.oom.group set.
Tasks with the OOM protection (oom_score_adj set to -1000) are treated as
an exception and are never killed.
This patch doesn't change the OOM victim selection algorithm.

Imagine a big node with many cpus, memory cgroups and containers. Let
we have 200 containers, every container has 10 mounts, and 10 cgroups.
All container tasks don't touch foreign containers mounts. If there is
intensive pages write, and global reclaim happens, a writing task has to
iterate over all memcgs to shrink slab, before it's able to go to
shrink_page_list().
Iteration over all the memcg slabs is very expensive: the task has to
visit 200 * 10 = 2000 shrinkers for every memcg, and since there are
2000 memcgs, the total calls are 2000 * 2000 = 4000000.
So, the shrinker makes 4 million do_shrink_slab() calls just to try to
isolate SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages in one of the actively writing memcg via
shrink_page_list(). I've observed a node spending almost 100% in
kernel, making useless iteration over already shrinked slab.
This patch adds bitmap of memcg-aware shrinkers to memcg. The size of
the bitmap depends on bitmap_nr_ids, and during memcg life it's
maintained to be enough to fit bitmap_nr_ids shrinkers. Every bit in
the map is related to corresponding shrinker id.
Next patches will maintain set bit only for really charged memcg. This
will allow shrink_slab() to increase its performance in significant way.
See the last patch for the numbers.

Commit 3812c8c8f3 ("mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full
callstack on OOM") has changed the ENOMEM semantic of memcg charges.
Rather than invoking the oom killer from the charging context it delays
the oom killer to the page fault path (pagefault_out_of_memory). This
in turn means that many users (e.g. slab or g-u-p) will get ENOMEM when
the corresponding memcg hits the hard limit and the memcg is is OOM.
This is behavior is inconsistent with !memcg case where the oom killer
is invoked from the allocation context and the allocator keeps retrying
until it succeeds.
The difference in the behavior is user visible. mmap(MAP_POPULATE)
might result in not fully populated ranges while the mmap return code
doesn't tell that to the userspace. Random syscalls might fail with
ENOMEM etc.
The primary motivation of the different memcg oom semantic was the
deadlock avoidance. Things have changed since then, though. We have an
async oom teardown by the oom reaper now and so we do not have to rely
on the victim to tear down its memory anymore. Therefore we can return
to the original semantic as long as the memcg oom killer is not handed
over to the users space.
There is still one thing to be careful about here though. If the oom
killer is not able to make any forward progress - e.g. because there is
no eligible task to kill - then we have to bail out of the charge path
to prevent from same class of deadlocks. We have basically two options
here. Either we fail the charge with ENOMEM or force the charge and
allow overcharge. The first option has been considered more harmful
than useful because rare inconsistencies in the ENOMEM behavior is hard
to test for and error prone. Basically the same reason why the page
allocator doesn't fail allocations under such conditions. The later
might allow runaways but those should be really unlikely unless somebody
misconfigures the system. E.g. allowing to migrate tasks away from the
memcg to a different unlimited memcg with move_charge_at_immigrate
disabled.

The buffer_head can consume a significant amount of system memory and is
directly related to the amount of page cache. In our production
environment we have observed that a lot of machines are spending a
significant amount of memory as buffer_head and can not be left as
system memory overhead.
Charging buffer_head is not as simple as adding __GFP_ACCOUNT to the
allocation. The buffer_heads can be allocated in a memcg different from
the memcg of the page for which buffer_heads are being allocated. One
concrete example is memory reclaim. The reclaim can trigger I/O of
pages of any memcg on the system. So, the right way to charge
buffer_head is to extract the memcg from the page for which buffer_heads
are being allocated and then use targeted memcg charging API.

Patch series "Directed kmem charging", v8.
The Linux kernel's memory cgroup allows limiting the memory usage of the
jobs running on the system to provide isolation between the jobs. All
the kernel memory allocated in the context of the job and marked with
__GFP_ACCOUNT will also be included in the memory usage and be limited
by the job's limit.
The kernel memory can only be charged to the memcg of the process in
whose context kernel memory was allocated. However there are cases
where the allocated kernel memory should be charged to the memcg
different from the current processes's memcg. This patch series
contains two such concrete use-cases i.e. fsnotify and buffer_head.
The fsnotify event objects can consume a lot of system memory for large
or unlimited queues if there is either no or slow listener. The events
are allocated in the context of the event producer. However they should
be charged to the event consumer. Similarly the buffer_head objects can
be allocated in a memcg different from the memcg of the page for which
buffer_head objects are being allocated.
To solve this issue, this patch series introduces mechanism to charge
kernel memory to a given memcg. In case of fsnotify events, the memcg
of the consumer can be used for charging and for buffer_head, the memcg
of the page can be charged. For directed charging, the caller can use
the scope API memalloc_[un]use_memcg() to specify the memcg to charge
for all the __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations within the scope.
This patch (of 2):
A lot of memory can be consumed by the events generated for the huge or
unlimited queues if there is either no or slow listener. This can cause
system level memory pressure or OOMs. So, it's better to account the
fsnotify kmem caches to the memcg of the listener.
However the listener can be in a different memcg than the memcg of the
producer and these allocations happen in the context of the event
producer. This patch introduces remote memcg charging API which the
producer can use to charge the allocations to the memcg of the listener.
There are seven fsnotify kmem caches and among them allocations from
dnotify_struct_cache, dnotify_mark_cache, fanotify_mark_cache and
inotify_inode_mark_cachep happens in the context of syscall from the
listener. So, SLAB_ACCOUNT is enough for these caches.
The objects from fsnotify_mark_connector_cachep are not accounted as
they are small compared to the notification mark or events and it is
unclear whom to account connector to since it is shared by all events
attached to the inode.
The allocations from the event caches happen in the context of the event
producer. For such caches we will need to remote charge the allocations
to the listener's memcg. Thus we save the memcg reference in the
fsnotify_group structure of the listener.
This patch has also moved the members of fsnotify_group to keep the size
same, at least for 64 bit build, even with additional member by filling
the holes.

Memory allocations can induce swapping via kswapd or direct reclaim. If
we are having IO done for us by kswapd and don't actually go into direct
reclaim we may never get scheduled for throttling. So instead check to
see if our cgroup is congested, and if so schedule the throttling.
Before we return to user space the throttling stuff will only throttle
if we actually required it.

Commit e27be240df ("mm: memcg: make sure memory.events is uptodate
when waking pollers") converted most of memcg event counters to
per-memcg atomics, which made them less confusing for a user. The
"oom_kill" counter remained untouched, so now it behaves differently
than other counters (including "oom"). This adds nothing but confusion.
Let's fix this by adding the MEMCG_OOM_KILL event, and follow the
MEMCG_OOM approach.
This also removes a hack from count_memcg_event_mm(), introduced earlier
specially for the OOM_KILL counter.

The LKP robot found a 27% will-it-scale/page_fault3 performance
regression regarding commit e27be240df53("mm: memcg: make sure
memory.events is uptodate when waking pollers").
What the test does is:
1 mkstemp() a 128M file on a tmpfs;
2 start $nr_cpu processes, each to loop the following:
2.1 mmap() this file in shared write mode;
2.2 write 0 to this file in a PAGE_SIZE step till the end of the file;
2.3 unmap() this file and repeat this process.
3 After 5 minutes, check how many loops they managed to complete, the
higher the better.
The commit itself looks innocent enough as it merely changed some event
counting mechanism and this test didn't trigger those events at all.
Perf shows increased cycles spent on accessing root_mem_cgroup->stat_cpu
in count_memcg_event_mm()(called by handle_mm_fault()) and in
__mod_memcg_state() called by page_add_file_rmap(). So it's likely due
to the changed layout of 'struct mem_cgroup' that either make stat_cpu
falling into a constantly modifying cacheline or some hot fields stop
being in the same cacheline.
I verified this by moving memory_events[] back to where it was:
: --- a/include/linux/memcontrol.h
: +++ b/include/linux/memcontrol.h
: @@ -205,7 +205,6 @@ struct mem_cgroup {

And performance restored.
Later investigation found that as long as the following 3 fields
moving_account, move_lock_task and stat_cpu are in the same cacheline,
performance will be good. To avoid future performance surprise by other
commits changing the layout of 'struct mem_cgroup', this patch makes
sure the 3 fields stay in the same cacheline.
One concern of this approach is, moving_account and move_lock_task could
be modified when a process changes memory cgroup while stat_cpu is a
always read field, it might hurt to place them in the same cacheline. I
assume it is rare for a process to change memory cgroup so this should
be OK.

Memory controller implements the memory.low best-effort memory
protection mechanism, which works perfectly in many cases and allows
protecting working sets of important workloads from sudden reclaim.
But its semantics has a significant limitation: it works only as long as
there is a supply of reclaimable memory. This makes it pretty useless
against any sort of slow memory leaks or memory usage increases. This
is especially true for swapless systems. If swap is enabled, memory
soft protection effectively postpones problems, allowing a leaking
application to fill all swap area, which makes no sense. The only
effective way to guarantee the memory protection in this case is to
invoke the OOM killer.
It's possible to handle this case in userspace by reacting on MEMCG_LOW
events; but there is still a place for a fail-safe in-kernel mechanism
to provide stronger guarantees.
This patch introduces the memory.min interface for cgroup v2 memory
controller. It works very similarly to memory.low (sharing the same
hierarchical behavior), except that it's not disabled if there is no
more reclaimable memory in the system.
If cgroup is not populated, its memory.min is ignored, because otherwise
even the OOM killer wouldn't be able to reclaim the protected memory,
and the system can stall.

This patch aims to address an issue in current memory.low semantics,
which makes it hard to use it in a hierarchy, where some leaf memory
cgroups are more valuable than others.
For example, there are memcgs A, A/B, A/C, A/D and A/E:
A A/memory.low = 2G, A/memory.current = 6G
//\\
BC DE B/memory.low = 3G B/memory.current = 2G
C/memory.low = 1G C/memory.current = 2G
D/memory.low = 0 D/memory.current = 2G
E/memory.low = 10G E/memory.current = 0
If we apply memory pressure, B, C and D are reclaimed at the same pace
while A's usage exceeds 2G. This is obviously wrong, as B's usage is
fully below B's memory.low, and C has 1G of protection as well. Also, A
is pushed to the size, which is less than A's 2G memory.low, which is
also wrong.
A simple bash script (provided below) can be used to reproduce
the problem. Current results are:
A: 1430097920
A/B: 711929856
A/C: 717426688
A/D: 741376
A/E: 0
To address the issue a concept of effective memory.low is introduced.
Effective memory.low is always equal or less than original memory.low.
In a case, when there is no memory.low overcommittment (and also for
top-level cgroups), these two values are equal.
Otherwise it's a part of parent's effective memory.low, calculated as a
cgroup's memory.low usage divided by sum of sibling's memory.low usages
(under memory.low usage I mean the size of actually protected memory:
memory.current if memory.current < memory.low, 0 otherwise). It's
necessary to track the actual usage, because otherwise an empty cgroup
with memory.low set (A/E in my example) will affect actual memory
distribution, which makes no sense. To avoid traversing the cgroup tree
twice, page_counters code is reused.
Calculating effective memory.low can be done in the reclaim path, as we
conveniently traversing the cgroup tree from top to bottom and check
memory.low on each level. So, it's a perfect place to calculate
effective memory low and save it to use it for children cgroups.
This also eliminates a need to traverse the cgroup tree from bottom to
top each time to check if parent's guarantee is not exceeded.
Setting/resetting effective memory.low is intentionally racy, but it's
fine and shouldn't lead to any significant differences in actual memory
distribution.
With this patch applied results are matching the expectations:
A: 2147930112
A/B: 1428721664
A/C: 718393344
A/D: 815104

This patch renames struct page_counter fields:
count -> usage
limit -> max
and the corresponding functions:
page_counter_limit() -> page_counter_set_max()
mem_cgroup_get_limit() -> mem_cgroup_get_max()
mem_cgroup_resize_limit() -> mem_cgroup_resize_max()
memcg_update_kmem_limit() -> memcg_update_kmem_max()
memcg_update_tcp_limit() -> memcg_update_tcp_max()
The idea behind this renaming is to have the direct matching
between memory cgroup knobs (low, high, max) and page_counters API.
This is pure renaming, this patch doesn't bring any functional change.

Add swap max and fail events so that userland can monitor and respond to
running out of swap.
I'm not too sure about the fail event. Right now, it's a bit confusing
which stats / events are recursive and which aren't and also which ones
reflect events which originate from a given cgroup and which targets the
cgroup. No idea what the right long term solution is and it could just
be that growing them organically is actually the only right thing to do.

Commit a983b5ebee ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting") added per-cpu drift to all memory cgroup stats
and events shown in memory.stat and memory.events.
For memory.stat this is acceptable. But memory.events issues file
notifications, and somebody polling the file for changes will be
confused when the counters in it are unchanged after a wakeup.
Luckily, the events in memory.events - MEMCG_LOW, MEMCG_HIGH, MEMCG_MAX,
MEMCG_OOM - are sufficiently rare and high-level that we don't need
per-cpu buffering for them: MEMCG_HIGH and MEMCG_MAX would be the most
frequent, but they're counting invocations of reclaim, which is a
complex operation that touches many shared cachelines.
This splits memory.events from the generic VM events and tracks them in
their own, unbuffered atomic counters. That's also cleaner, as it
eliminates the ugly enum nesting of VM and cgroup events.

memcg reclaim may alter pgdat->flags based on the state of LRU lists in
cgroup and its children. PGDAT_WRITEBACK may force kswapd to sleep
congested_wait(), PGDAT_DIRTY may force kswapd to writeback filesystem
pages. But the worst here is PGDAT_CONGESTED, since it may force all
direct reclaims to stall in wait_iff_congested(). Note that only kswapd
have powers to clear any of these bits. This might just never happen if
cgroup limits configured that way. So all direct reclaims will stall as
long as we have some congested bdi in the system.
Leave all pgdat->flags manipulations to kswapd. kswapd scans the whole
pgdat, only kswapd can clear pgdat->flags once node is balanced, thus
it's reasonable to leave all decisions about node state to kswapd.
Why only kswapd? Why not allow to global direct reclaim change these
flags? It is because currently only kswapd can clear these flags. I'm
less worried about the case when PGDAT_CONGESTED falsely not set, and
more worried about the case when it falsely set. If direct reclaimer
sets PGDAT_CONGESTED, do we have guarantee that after the congestion
problem is sorted out, kswapd will be woken up and clear the flag? It
seems like there is no such guarantee. E.g. direct reclaimers may
eventually balance pgdat and kswapd simply won't wake up (see
wakeup_kswapd()).
Moving pgdat->flags manipulation to kswapd, means that cgroup2 recalim
now loses its congestion throttling mechanism. Add per-cgroup
congestion state and throttle cgroup2 reclaimers if memcg is in
congestion state.
Currently there is no need in per-cgroup PGDAT_WRITEBACK and PGDAT_DIRTY
bits since they alter only kswapd behavior.
The problem could be easily demonstrated by creating heavy congestion in
one cgroup:
echo "+memory" > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/congester
echo 512M > /sys/fs/cgroup/congester/memory.max
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/congester/cgroup.procs
/* generate a lot of diry data on slow HDD */
while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/zeroes bs=1M count=1024; done &
....
while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/zeroes bs=1M count=1024; done &
and some job in another cgroup:
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/victim
echo 128M > /sys/fs/cgroup/victim/memory.max
# time cat /dev/sda > /dev/null
real 10m15.054s
user 0m0.487s
sys 1m8.505s
According to the tracepoint in wait_iff_congested(), the 'cat' spent 50%
of the time sleeping there.
With the patch, cat don't waste time anymore:
# time cat /dev/sda > /dev/null
real 5m32.911s
user 0m0.411s
sys 0m56.664s

After commit a983b5ebee ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting"), we observed slowly upward creeping NR_WRITEBACK
counts over the course of several days, both the per-memcg stats as well
as the system counter in e.g. /proc/meminfo.
The conversion from full per-cpu stat counts to per-cpu cached atomic
stat counts introduced an irq-unsafe RMW operation into the updates.
Most stat updates come from process context, but one notable exception
is the NR_WRITEBACK counter. While writebacks are issued from process
context, they are retired from (soft)irq context.
When writeback completions interrupt the RMW counter updates of new
writebacks being issued, the decs from the completions are lost.
Since the global updates are routed through the joint lruvec API, both
the memcg counters as well as the system counters are affected.
This patch makes the joint stat and event API irq safe.

We've seen memory.stat reads in top-level cgroups take up to fourteen
seconds during a userspace bug that created tens of thousands of ghost
cgroups pinned by lingering page cache.
Even with a more reasonable number of cgroups, aggregating memory.stat
is unnecessarily heavy. The complexity is this:
nr_cgroups * nr_stat_items * nr_possible_cpus
where the stat items are ~70 at this point. With 128 cgroups and 128
CPUs - decent, not enormous setups - reading the top-level memory.stat
has to aggregate over a million per-cpu counters. This doesn't scale.
Instead of spreading the source of truth across all CPUs, use the
per-cpu counters merely to batch updates to shared atomic counters.
This is the same as the per-cpu stocks we use for charging memory to the
shared atomic page_counters, and also the way the global vmstat counters
are implemented.
Vmstat has elaborate spilling thresholds that depend on the number of
CPUs, amount of memory, and memory pressure - carefully balancing the
cost of counter updates with the amount of per-cpu error. That's
because the vmstat counters are system-wide, but also used for decisions
inside the kernel (e.g. NR_FREE_PAGES in the allocator). Neither is
true for the memory controller.
Use the same static batch size we already use for page_counter updates
during charging. The per-cpu error in the stats will be 128k, which is
an acceptable ratio of cores to memory accounting granularity.

The issue is that writeback doesn't hold a page reference and the page
might get freed after PG_writeback is cleared (and the mapping is
unlocked) in test_clear_page_writeback(). The stat functions looking up
the page's node or zone are safe, as those attributes are static across
allocation and free cycles. But page->mem_cgroup is not, and it will
get cleared if we race with truncation or migration.
It appears this race window has been around for a while, but less likely
to trigger when the memcg stats were updated first thing after
PG_writeback is cleared. Recent changes reshuffled this code to update
the global node stats before the memcg ones, though, stretching the race
window out to an extent where people can reproduce the problem.
Update test_clear_page_writeback() to look up and pin page->mem_cgroup
before clearing PG_writeback, then not use that pointer afterward. It
is a partial revert of 62cccb8c8e ("mm: simplify lock_page_memcg()")
but leaves the pageref-holding callsites that aren't affected alone.

Since commit 59dc76b0d4 ("mm: vmscan: reduce size of inactive file
list") we noticed bigger IO spikes during changes in cache access
patterns.
The patch in question shrunk the inactive list size to leave more room
for the current workingset in the presence of streaming IO. However,
workingset transitions that previously happened on the inactive list are
now pushed out of memory and incur more refaults to complete.
This patch disables active list protection when refaults are being
observed. This accelerates workingset transitions, and allows more of
the new set to establish itself from memory, without eating into the
ability to protect the established workingset during stable periods.
The workloads that were measurably affected for us were hit pretty bad
by it, with refault/majfault rates doubling and tripling during cache
transitions, and the machines sustaining half-hour periods of 100% IO
utilization, where they'd previously have sub-minute peaks at 60-90%.
Stateful services that handle user data tend to be more conservative
with kernel upgrades. As a result we hit most page cache issues with
some delay, as was the case here.
The severity seemed to warrant a stable tag.

If there's contention on slab_mutex, queueing the per-cache destruction
work item on the system_wq can unnecessarily create and tie up a lot of
kworkers.
Rename memcg_kmem_cache_create_wq to memcg_kmem_cache_wq and make it
global and use that workqueue for the destruction work items too. While
at it, convert the workqueue from an unbound workqueue to a per-cpu one
with concurrency limited to 1. It's generally preferable to use per-cpu
workqueues and concurrency limit of 1 is safe enough.
This is suggested by Joonsoo Kim.

With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and
destroyed frequently and a great number of near empty kmem_caches can
accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not
under memory pressure. When memory reclaim starts under such
conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of
many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large
systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management
code. This is one of the patches to address the issue.
While a memcg kmem_cache is listed on its root cache's ->children list,
there is no direct way to iterate all kmem_caches which are assocaited
with a memory cgroup. The only way to iterate them is walking all
caches while filtering out caches which don't match, which would be most
of them.
This makes memcg destruction operations O(N^2) where N is the total
number of slab caches which can be huge. This combined with the
synchronous RCU operations can tie up a CPU and affect the whole machine
for many hours when memory reclaim triggers offlining and destruction of
the stale memcgs.
This patch adds mem_cgroup->kmem_caches list which goes through
memcg_cache_params->kmem_caches_node of all kmem_caches which are
associated with the memcg. All memcg specific iterations, including
stat file access, are updated to use the new list instead.

the oom killer is clearly pre-mature because there there is still a lot
of page cache in the zone Normal which should satisfy this lowmem
request. Further debugging has shown that the reclaim cannot make any
forward progress because the page cache is hidden in the active list
which doesn't get rotated because inactive_list_is_low is not memcg
aware.
The code simply subtracts per-zone highmem counters from the respective
memcg's lru sizes which doesn't make any sense. We can simply end up
always seeing the resulting active and inactive counts 0 and return
false. This issue is not limited to 32b kernels but in practice the
effect on systems without CONFIG_HIGHMEM would be much harder to notice
because we do not invoke the OOM killer for allocations requests
targeting < ZONE_NORMAL.
Fix the issue by tracking per zone lru page counts in mem_cgroup_per_node
and subtract per-memcg highmem counts when memcg is enabled. Introduce
helper lruvec_zone_lru_size which redirects to either zone counters or
mem_cgroup_get_zone_lru_size when appropriate.
We are losing empty LRU but non-zero lru size detection introduced by
ca707239e8 ("mm: update_lru_size warn and reset bad lru_size") because
of the inherent zone vs. node discrepancy.

When selecting an oom victim, we use the same heuristic for both memory
cgroup and global oom. The only difference is the scope of tasks to
select the victim from. So we could just export an iterator over all
memcg tasks and keep all oom related logic in oom_kill.c, but instead we
duplicate pieces of it in memcontrol.c reusing some initially private
functions of oom_kill.c in order to not duplicate all of it. That looks
ugly and error prone, because any modification of select_bad_process
should also be propagated to mem_cgroup_out_of_memory.
Let's rework this as follows: keep all oom heuristic related code private
to oom_kill.c and make oom_kill.c use exported memcg functions when it's
really necessary (like in case of iterating over memcg tasks).

LRU list contents and counts are updated separately. Counts are updated
before pages are added to the LRU and updated after pages are removed.
The warning above is from a check in mem_cgroup_update_lru_size that
ensures that list sizes of zero are empty.
The problem is that node-lru needs to account for highmem pages if
CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set. One impact of the implementation is that the
sizes are updated in multiple passes when pages from multiple zones were
isolated. This happens whether HIGHMEM is set or not. When multiple
zones are isolated, it's possible for a debugging check in memcg to be
tripped.
This patch forces all the zone counts to be updated before the memcg
function is called.

Memcg needs adjustment after moving LRUs to the node. Limits are
tracked per memcg but the soft-limit excess is tracked per zone. As
global page reclaim is based on the node, it is easy to imagine a
situation where a zone soft limit is exceeded even though the memcg
limit is fine.
This patch moves the soft limit tree the node. Technically, all the
variable names should also change but people are already familiar by the
meaning of "mz" even if "mn" would be a more appropriate name now.

Earlier patches focused on having direct reclaim and kswapd use data
that is node-centric for reclaiming but shrink_node() itself still uses
too much zone information. This patch removes unnecessary zone-based
information with the most important decision being whether to continue

This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such
as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking.
Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is
necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node
logic. Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry
logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and
active sizes. It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a
per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache
lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks.
Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note
that it introduces a number of anomalies. For example, the scans are
per-zone but using per-node counters. We also mark a node as congested
when a zone is congested. This causes weird problems that are fixed
later but is easier to review.
In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to
the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions
1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem
When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU
list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same
highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem
keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages
arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially
could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list.
That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that
highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages.
2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails
This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during
memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

Commit 23047a96d7 ("mm: workingset: per-cgroup cache thrash
detection") added a page->mem_cgroup lookup to the cache eviction,
refault, and activation paths, as well as locking to the activation
path, and the vm-scalability tests showed a regression of -23%.
While the test in question is an artificial worst-case scenario that
doesn't occur in real workloads - reading two sparse files in parallel
at full CPU speed just to hammer the LRU paths - there is still some
optimizations that can be done in those paths.
Inline the lookup functions to eliminate calls. Also, page->mem_cgroup
doesn't need to be stabilized when counting an activation; we merely
need to hold the RCU lock to prevent the memcg from being freed.
This cuts down on overhead quite a bit:

The memory controller has quite a bit of state that usually outlives the
cgroup and pins its CSS until said state disappears. At the same time
it imposes a 16-bit limit on the CSS ID space to economically store IDs
in the wild. Consequently, when we use cgroups to contain frequent but
small and short-lived jobs that leave behind some page cache, we quickly
run into the 64k limitations of outstanding CSSs. Creating a new cgroup
fails with -ENOSPC while there are only a few, or even no user-visible
cgroups in existence.
Although pinning CSSs past cgroup removal is common, there are only two
instances that actually need an ID after a cgroup is deleted: cache
shadow entries and swapout records.
Cache shadow entries reference the ID weakly and can deal with the CSS
having disappeared when it's looked up later. They pose no hurdle.
Swap-out records do need to pin the css to hierarchically attribute
swapins after the cgroup has been deleted; though the only pages that
remain swapped out after offlining are tmpfs/shmem pages. And those
references are under the user's control, so they are manageable.
This patch introduces a private 16-bit memcg ID and switches swap and
cache shadow entries over to using that. This ID can then be recycled
after offlining when the CSS remains pinned only by objects that don't
specifically need it.
This script demonstrates the problem by faulting one cache page in a new
cgroup and deleting it again:
set -e
mkdir -p pages
for x in `seq 128000`; do
[ $((x % 1000)) -eq 0 ] && echo $x
mkdir /cgroup/foo
echo $$ >/cgroup/foo/cgroup.procs
echo trex >pages/$x
echo $$ >/cgroup/cgroup.procs
rmdir /cgroup/foo
done
When run on an unpatched kernel, we eventually run out of possible IDs
even though there are no visible cgroups:
[root@ham ~]# ./cssidstress.sh
[...]
65000
mkdir: cannot create directory '/cgroup/foo': No space left on device
After this patch, the IDs get released upon cgroup destruction and the

The inactive file list should still be large enough to contain readahead
windows and freshly written file data, but it no longer is the only
source for detecting multiple accesses to file pages. The workingset
refault measurement code causes recently evicted file pages that get
accessed again after a shorter interval to be promoted directly to the
active list.
With that mechanism in place, we can afford to (on a larger system)
dedicate more memory to the active file list, so we can actually cache
more of the frequently used file pages in memory, and not have them
pushed out by streaming writes, once-used streaming file reads, etc.
This can help things like database workloads, where only half the page
cache can currently be used to cache the database working set. This
patch automatically increases that fraction on larger systems, using the
same ratio that has already been used for anonymous memory.

Konstantin Khlebnikov pointed out (nearly four years ago, when lumpy
reclaim was removed) that lru_size can be updated by -nr_taken once per
call to isolate_lru_pages(), instead of page by page.
Update it inside isolate_lru_pages(), or at its two callsites? I chose
to update it at the callsites, rearranging and grouping the updates by
nr_taken and nr_scanned together in both.
With one exception, mem_cgroup_update_lru_size(,lru,) is then used where
__mod_zone_page_state(,NR_LRU_BASE+lru,) is used; and we shall be adding
some more calls in a future commit. Make the code a little smaller and
simpler by incorporating stat update in lru_size update.
The exception was move_active_pages_to_lru(), which aggregated the
pgmoved stat update separately from the individual lru_size updates; but
I still think this a simplification worth making.
However, the __mod_zone_page_state is not peculiar to mem_cgroups: so
better use the name update_lru_size, calls mem_cgroup_update_lru_size
when CONFIG_MEMCG.

Workingset code was recently made memcg aware, but shadow node shrinker

their shadow nodes, even though reclaim distances stored in its shadow
nodes have no effect. To avoid this, we need to make shadow node

As kmem accounting is now either enabled for all cgroups or disabled
system-wide, there's no point in having memcg_kmem_online() helper -
instead one can use memcg_kmem_enabled() and mem_cgroup_online(), as
shrink_slab() now does.
There are only two places left where this helper is used -
__memcg_kmem_charge() and memcg_create_kmem_cache(). The former can
only be called if memcg_kmem_enabled() returned true. Since the cgroup
it operates on is online, mem_cgroup_is_root() check will be enough.
memcg_create_kmem_cache() can't use mem_cgroup_online() helper instead
of memcg_kmem_online(), because it relies on the fact that in
memcg_offline_kmem() memcg->kmem_state is changed before
memcg_deactivate_kmem_caches() is called, but there we can just
open-code the check.

Changing a page's memcg association complicates dealing with the page,
so we want to limit this as much as possible. Page migration e.g. does
not have to do that. Just like page cache replacement, it can forcibly
charge a replacement page, and then uncharge the old page when it gets
freed. Temporarily overcharging the cgroup by a single page is not an
issue in practice, and charging is so cheap nowadays that this is much
preferrable to the headache of messing with live pages.
The only place that still changes the page->mem_cgroup binding of live
pages is when pages move along with a task to another cgroup. But that
path isolates the page from the LRU, takes the page lock, and the move
lock (lock_page_memcg()). That means page->mem_cgroup is always stable
in callers that have the page isolated from the LRU or locked. Lighter
unlocked paths, like writeback accounting, can use lock_page_memcg().

level, not inside cgroups. Worse, as the refaults are compared to the
global number of active cache, cgroups might wrongfully get all their
refaults activated when their pages are hotter than those of others.
Move the refault machinery from the zone to the lruvec, and then tag
eviction entries with the memcg ID. This makes the thrash detection

These patches tag the page cache radix tree eviction entries with the

work properly and be as adaptive to new cache workingsets as global
reclaim already is.
This should have been part of the original thrash detection patch
series, but was deferred due to the complexity of those patches.
This patch (of 5):
So far the only sites that needed to exclude charge migration to
stabilize page->mem_cgroup have been per-cgroup page statistics, hence
the name mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(). But per-cgroup thrash detection
will add another site that needs to ensure page->mem_cgroup lifetime.
Rename these locking functions to the more generic lock_page_memcg() and
unlock_page_memcg(). Since charge migration is a cgroup1 feature only,
we might be able to delete it at some point, and these now easy to
identify locking sites along with it.

This patchset introduces swap accounting to cgroup2.
This patch (of 7):
In the legacy hierarchy we charge memsw, which is dubious, because:
- memsw.limit must be >= memory.limit, so it is impossible to limit
swap usage less than memory usage. Taking into account the fact that
the primary limiting mechanism in the unified hierarchy is
memory.high while memory.limit is either left unset or set to a very
large value, moving memsw.limit knob to the unified hierarchy would
effectively make it impossible to limit swap usage according to the
user preference.
- memsw.usage != memory.usage + swap.usage, because a page occupying
both swap entry and a swap cache page is charged only once to memsw
counter. As a result, it is possible to effectively eat up to
memory.limit of memory pages *and* memsw.limit of swap entries, which
looks unexpected.
That said, we should provide a different swap limiting mechanism for
cgroup2.
This patch adds mem_cgroup->swap counter, which charges the actual number
of swap entries used by a cgroup. It is only charged in the unified
hierarchy, while the legacy hierarchy memsw logic is left intact.
The swap usage can be monitored using new memory.swap.current file and
limited using memory.swap.max.
Note, to charge swap resource properly in the unified hierarchy, we have
to make swap_entry_free uncharge swap only when ->usage reaches zero, not
just ->count, i.e. when all references to a swap entry, including the one
taken by swap cache, are gone. This is necessary, because otherwise
swap-in could result in uncharging swap even if the page is still in swap
cache and hence still occupies a swap entry. At the same time, this
shouldn't break memsw counter logic, where a page is never charged twice
for using both memory and swap, because in case of legacy hierarchy we
uncharge swap on commit (see mem_cgroup_commit_charge).

The creation and teardown of struct mem_cgroup is fairly messy and
that has attracted mistakes and subtle bugs before.
The main cause for this is that there is no clear model about what
needs to happen when, and that attracts more chaos. So create one:
1. mem_cgroup_alloc() should allocate struct mem_cgroup and its
auxiliary members and initialize work items, locks etc. so that the
object it returns is fully initialized and in a neutral state.
2. mem_cgroup_css_alloc() will use mem_cgroup_alloc() to obtain a new
memcg object and configure it and the system according to the role
of the new memory-controlled cgroup in the hierarchy.
3. mem_cgroup_css_online() is no longer needed to synchronize with
iterators, but it verifies css->id which isn't available earlier.
4. mem_cgroup_css_offline() implements stuff that needs to happen upon
the user-visible destruction of a cgroup, which includes stopping
all user interfacing as well as releasing certain structures when
continued memory consumption would be unexpected at that point.
5. mem_cgroup_css_free() prepares the system and the memcg object for
the object's disappearance, neutralizes its state, and then gives
it back to mem_cgroup_free().
6. mem_cgroup_free() releases struct mem_cgroup and auxiliary memory.

As with rmap, with new refcounting we cannot rely on PageTransHuge() to

to get information from caller to know whether it was mapped with PMD or
PTE.
We do uncharge when last reference on the page gone. At that point if
we see PageTransHuge() it means we need to unchange whole huge page.
The tricky part is partial unmap -- when we try to unmap part of huge
page. We don't do a special handing of this situation, meaning we don't
uncharge the part of huge page unless last user is gone or
split_huge_page() is triggered. In case of cgroup memory pressure
happens the partial unmapped page will be split through shrinker. This

Let the networking stack know when a memcg is under reclaim pressure so
that it can clamp its transmit windows accordingly.
Whenever the reclaim efficiency of a cgroup's LRU lists drops low enough
for a MEDIUM or HIGH vmpressure event to occur, assert a pressure state
in the socket and tcp memory code that tells it to curb consumption
growth from sockets associated with said control group.
Traditionally, vmpressure reports for the entire subtree of a memcg
under pressure, which drops useful information on the individual groups
reclaimed. However, it's too late to change the userinterface, so add a
second reporting mode that reports on the level of reclaim instead of at
the level of pressure, and use that report for sockets.
vmpressure events are naturally edge triggered, so for hysteresis assert
socket pressure for a second to allow for subsequent vmpressure events
to occur before letting the socket code return to normal.
This will likely need finetuning for a wider variety of workloads, but
for now stick to the vmpressure presets and keep hysteresis simple.

Socket memory can be a significant share of overall memory consumed by

the unified hierarchy, this type of memory needs to be included in the
tracking/accounting of a cgroup under active memory resource control.
Overhead is only incurred when a non-root control group is created AND
the memory controller is instructed to track and account the memory
footprint of that group. cgroup.memory=nosocket can be specified on the

There won't be a tcp control soft limit, so integrating the memcg code
into the global skmem limiting scheme complicates things unnecessarily.
Replace this with simple and clear charge and uncharge calls--hidden
behind a jump label--to account skb memory.
Note that this is not purely aesthetic: as a result of shoehorning the
per-memcg code into the same memory accounting functions that handle the
global level, the old code would compare the per-memcg consumption
against the smaller of the per-memcg limit and the global limit. This
allowed the total consumption of multiple sockets to exceed the global
limit, as long as the individual sockets stayed within bounds. After
this change, the code will always compare the per-memcg consumption to
the per-memcg limit, and the global consumption to the global limit, and
thus close this loophole.
Without a soft limit, the per-memcg memory pressure state in sockets is
generally questionable. However, we did it until now, so we continue to
enter it when the hard limit is hit, and packets are dropped, to let
other sockets in the cgroup know that they shouldn't grow their transmit
windows, either. However, keep it simple in the new callback model and
leave memory pressure lazily when the next packet is accepted (as
opposed to doing it synchroneously when packets are processed). When
packets are dropped, network performance will already be in the toilet,
so that should be a reasonable trade-off.
As described above, consumption is now checked on the per-memcg level
and the global level separately. Likewise, memory pressure states are
maintained on both the per-memcg level and the global level, and a
socket is considered under pressure when either level asserts as much.

The number of allocated sockets is used for calculations in the soft
limit phase, where packets are accepted but the socket is under memory
pressure.
Since there is no soft limit phase in tcp_memcontrol, and memory
pressure is only entered when packets are already dropped, this is
actually dead code. Remove it.
As this is the last user of parent_cg_proto(), remove that too.

Move the jump-label from sock_update_memcg() and sock_release_memcg() to
the callsite, and so eliminate those function calls when socket
accounting is not enabled.
This also eliminates the need for dummy functions because the calls will
be optimized away if the Kconfig options are not enabled.

There are two bits defined for cg_proto->flags - MEMCG_SOCK_ACTIVATED
and MEMCG_SOCK_ACTIVE - both are set in tcp_update_limit, but the former
is never cleared while the latter can be cleared by unsetting the limit.
This allows to disable tcp socket accounting for new sockets after it
was enabled by writing -1 to memory.kmem.tcp.limit_in_bytes while still
guaranteeing that memcg_socket_limit_enabled static key will be
decremented on memcg destruction.
This functionality looks dubious, because it is not clear what a use
case would be. By enabling tcp accounting a user accepts the price. If
they then find the performance degradation unacceptable, they can always
restart their workload with tcp accounting disabled. It does not seem
there is any need to flip it while the workload is running.
Besides, it contradicts to how kmem accounting API works: writing
whatever to memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes enables kmem accounting for the
cgroup in question, after which it cannot be disabled. Therefore one
might expect that writing -1 to memory.kmem.tcp.limit_in_bytes just
enables socket accounting w/o limiting it, which might be useful by
itself, but it isn't true.
Since this API peculiarity is not documented anywhere, I propose to drop
it. This will allow to simplify the code by dropping cg_proto->flags.

Currently, if we want to account all objects of a particular kmem cache,
we have to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT to each kmem_cache_alloc call, which is
inconvenient. This patch introduces SLAB_ACCOUNT flag which if passed
to kmem_cache_create will force accounting for every allocation from
this cache even if __GFP_ACCOUNT is not passed.
This patch does not make any of the existing caches use this flag - it
will be done later in the series.
Note, a cache with SLAB_ACCOUNT cannot be merged with a cache w/o
SLAB_ACCOUNT, because merged caches share the same kmem_cache struct and
hence cannot have different sets of SLAB_* flags. Thus using this flag
will probably reduce the number of merged slabs even if kmem accounting
is not used (only compiled in).

Black-list kmem accounting policy (aka __GFP_NOACCOUNT) turned out to be
fragile and difficult to maintain, because there seem to be many more
allocations that should not be accounted than those that should be.
Besides, false accounting an allocation might result in much worse
consequences than not accounting at all, namely increased memory
consumption due to pinned dead kmem caches.
So this patch switches kmem accounting to the white-policy: now only
those kmem allocations that are marked as __GFP_ACCOUNT are accounted to
memcg. Currently, no kmem allocations are marked like this. The
following patches will mark several kmem allocations that are known to
be easily triggered from userspace and therefore should be accounted to
memcg.

We have memcg_kmem_charge and memcg_kmem_uncharge methods for charging and
uncharging kmem pages to memcg, but currently they are not used for
charging slab pages (i.e. they are only used for charging pages allocated
with alloc_kmem_pages). The only reason why the slab subsystem uses
special helpers, memcg_charge_slab and memcg_uncharge_slab, is that it
needs to charge to the memcg of kmem cache while memcg_charge_kmem charges
to the memcg that the current task belongs to.
To remove this diversity, this patch adds an extra argument to
__memcg_kmem_charge that can be a pointer to a memcg or NULL. If it is
not NULL, the function tries to charge to the memcg it points to,
otherwise it charge to the current context. Next, it makes the slab
subsystem use this function to charge slab pages.
Since memcg_charge_kmem and memcg_uncharge_kmem helpers are now used only
in __memcg_kmem_charge and __memcg_kmem_uncharge, they are inlined. Since
__memcg_kmem_charge stores a pointer to the memcg in the page struct, we
don't need memcg_uncharge_slab anymore and can use free_kmem_pages.
Besides, one can now detect which memcg a slab page belongs to by reading
/proc/kpagecgroup.
Note, this patch switches slab to charge-after-alloc design. Since this
design is already used for all other memcg charges, it should not make any
difference.

Charging kmem pages proceeds in two steps. First, we try to charge the
allocation size to the memcg the current task belongs to, then we allocate
a page and "commit" the charge storing the pointer to the memcg in the
page struct.
Such a design looks overcomplicated, because there is not much sense in
trying charging the allocation before actually allocating a page: we won't
be able to consume much memory over the limit even if we charge after
doing the actual allocation, besides we already charge user pages post
factum, so being pedantic with kmem pages just looks pointless.
So this patch simplifies the design by merging the "charge" and the
"commit" steps into the same function, which takes the allocated page.
Also, rename the charge and uncharge methods to memcg_kmem_charge and
memcg_kmem_uncharge and make the charge method return error code instead
of bool to conform to mem_cgroup_try_charge.

__memcg_kmem_bypass() decides whether a kmem allocation should be bypassed
to the root memcg. Some conditions that it tests are valid criteria
regarding who should be held accountable; however, there are a couple
unnecessary tests for cold paths - __GFP_FAIL and fatal_signal_pending().
The previous patch updated try_charge() to handle both __GFP_FAIL and
dying tasks correctly and the only thing these two tests are doing is
making accounting less accurate and sprinkling tests for cold path
conditions in the hot paths. There's nothing meaningful gained by these
extra tests.

Currently, try_charge() tries to reclaim memory synchronously when the
high limit is breached; however, if the allocation doesn't have
__GFP_WAIT, synchronous reclaim is skipped. If a process performs only
speculative allocations, it can blow way past the high limit. This is
actually easily reproducible by simply doing "find /". slab/slub
allocator tries speculative allocations first, so as long as there's
memory which can be consumed without blocking, it can keep allocating
memory regardless of the high limit.
This patch makes try_charge() always punt the over-high reclaim to the
return-to-userland path. If try_charge() detects that high limit is
breached, it adds the overage to current->memcg_nr_pages_over_high and
schedules execution of mem_cgroup_handle_over_high() which performs
synchronous reclaim from the return-to-userland path.
As long as kernel doesn't have a run-away allocation spree, this should
provide enough protection while making kmemcg behave more consistently.
It also has the following benefits.
- All over-high reclaims can use GFP_KERNEL regardless of the specific
gfp mask in use, e.g. GFP_NOFS, when the limit was breached.
- It copes with prio inversion. Previously, a low-prio task with
small memory.high might perform over-high reclaim with a bunch of
locks held. If a higher prio task needed any of these locks, it
would have to wait until the low prio task finished reclaim and
released the locks. By handing over-high reclaim to the task exit
path this issue can be avoided.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"The cgroup core saw several significant updates this cycle:
- percpu_rwsem for threadgroup locking is reinstated. This was
temporarily dropped due to down_write latency issues. Oleg's
rework of percpu_rwsem which is scheduled to be merged in this
merge window resolves the issue.
- On the v2 hierarchy, when controllers are enabled and disabled, all
operations are atomic and can fail and revert cleanly. This allows
->can_attach() failure which is necessary for cpu RT slices.
- Tasks now stay associated with the original cgroups after exit
until released. This allows tracking resources held by zombies
(e.g. pids) and makes it easy to find out where zombies came from
on the v2 hierarchy. The pids controller was broken before these
changes as zombies escaped the limits; unfortunately, updating this
behavior required too many invasive changes and I don't think it's
a good idea to backport them, so the pids controller on 4.3, the
first version which included the pids controller, will stay broken
at least until I'm sure about the cgroup core changes.

For memcg domains, the amount of available memory was calculated as
min(the amount currently in use + headroom according to memcg,
total clean memory)
This isn't quite correct as what should be capped by the amount of
clean memory is the headroom, not the sum of memory in use and
headroom. For example, if a memcg domain has a significant amount of
dirty memory, the above can lead to a value which is lower than the
current amount in use which doesn't make much sense. In most
circumstances, the above leads to a number which is somewhat but not
drastically lower.
As the amount of memory which can be readily allocated to the memcg
domain is capped by the amount of system-wide clean memory which is
not already assigned to the memcg itself, the number we want is
the amount currently in use +
min(headroom according to memcg, clean memory elsewhere in the system)
This patch updates mem_cgroup_wb_stats() to return the number of
filepages and headroom instead of the calculated available pages.
mdtc_cap_avail() is renamed to mdtc_calc_avail() and performs the

This patchset introduces a new user API for tracking user memory pages
that have not been used for a given period of time. The purpose of this
is to provide the userspace with the means of tracking a workload's
working set, i.e. the set of pages that are actively used by the
workload. Knowing the working set size can be useful for partitioning the
system more efficiently, e.g. by tuning memory cgroup limits
appropriately, or for job placement within a compute cluster.
==== USE CASES ====
The unified cgroup hierarchy has memory.low and memory.high knobs, which
are defined as the low and high boundaries for the workload working set
size. However, the working set size of a workload may be unknown or
change in time. With this patch set, one can periodically estimate the
amount of memory unused by each cgroup and tune their memory.low and
memory.high parameters accordingly, therefore optimizing the overall
memory utilization.
Another use case is balancing workloads within a compute cluster. Knowing
how much memory is not really used by a workload unit may help take a more
optimal decision when considering migrating the unit to another node
within the cluster.
Also, as noted by Minchan, this would be useful for per-process reclaim
(https://lwn.net/Articles/545668/). With idle tracking, we could reclaim idle
pages only by smart user memory manager.
==== USER API ====
The user API consists of two new files:
* /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap. This file implements a bitmap where each
bit corresponds to a page, indexed by PFN. When the bit is set, the
corresponding page is idle. A page is considered idle if it has not been
accessed since it was marked idle. To mark a page idle one should set the
bit corresponding to the page by writing to the file. A value written to the
file is OR-ed with the current bitmap value. Only user memory pages can be
marked idle, for other page types input is silently ignored. Writing to this
file beyond max PFN results in the ENXIO error. Only available when
CONFIG_IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING is set.
This file can be used to estimate the amount of pages that are not
used by a particular workload as follows:
1. mark all pages of interest idle by setting corresponding bits in the
/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap
2. wait until the workload accesses its working set
3. read /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap and count the number of bits set
* /proc/kpagecgroup. This file contains a 64-bit inode number of the
memory cgroup each page is charged to, indexed by PFN. Only available when
CONFIG_MEMCG is set.
This file can be used to find all pages (including unmapped file pages)
accounted to a particular cgroup. Using /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap, one
can then estimate the cgroup working set size.
For an example of using these files for estimating the amount of unused
memory pages per each memory cgroup, please see the script attached
below.
==== REASONING ====
The reason to introduce the new user API instead of using
/proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps} is that the latter has two serious
drawbacks:
- it does not count unmapped file pages
- it affects the reclaimer logic
The new API attempts to overcome them both. For more details on how it
is achieved, please see the comment to patch 6.
==== PATCHSET STRUCTURE ====
The patch set is organized as follows:
- patch 1 adds page_cgroup_ino() helper for the sake of
/proc/kpagecgroup and patches 2-3 do related cleanup
- patch 4 adds /proc/kpagecgroup, which reports cgroup ino each page is
charged to
- patch 5 introduces a new mmu notifier callback, clear_young, which is
a lightweight version of clear_flush_young; it is used in patch 6
- patch 6 implements the idle page tracking feature, including the
userspace API, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap
- patch 7 exports idle flag via /proc/kpageflags
==== SIMILAR WORKS ====
Originally, the patch for tracking idle memory was proposed back in 2011
by Michel Lespinasse (see http://lwn.net/Articles/459269/). The main
difference between Michel's patch and this one is that Michel implemented
a kernel space daemon for estimating idle memory size per cgroup while
this patch only provides the userspace with the minimal API for doing the
job, leaving the rest up to the userspace. However, they both share the
same idea of Idle/Young page flags to avoid affecting the reclaimer logic.
==== PERFORMANCE EVALUATION ====
SPECjvm2008 (https://www.spec.org/jvm2008/) was used to evaluate the
performance impact introduced by this patch set. Three runs were carried
out:
- base: kernel without the patch
- patched: patched kernel, the feature is not used
- patched-active: patched kernel, 1 minute-period daemon is used for
tracking idle memory
For tracking idle memory, idlememstat utility was used:

This patch (of 8):
Add page_cgroup_ino() helper to memcg.
This function returns the inode number of the closest online ancestor of
the memory cgroup a page is charged to. It is required for exporting
information about which page is charged to which cgroup to userspace,
which will be introduced by a following patch.

The only user is cgwb_bdi_init and that one depends on
CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK which in turn depends on CONFIG_MEMCG so it
doesn't make much sense to definte an empty stub for !CONFIG_MEMCG.
Moreover ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) is ugly and would lead to runtime crashes if
used in unguarded code paths. Better fail during compilation.

mem_cgroup structure is defined in mm/memcontrol.c currently which means
that the code outside of this file has to use external API even for
trivial access stuff.
This patch exports mm_struct with its dependencies and makes some of the
exported functions inlines. This even helps to reduce the code size a bit
(make defconfig + CONFIG_MEMCG=y)

This is not much (370B) but better than nothing.
We also save a function call in some hot paths like callers of
mem_cgroup_count_vm_event which is used for accounting.

This code has been in development for a long time, and it has been
simmering in for-next for a good chunk of this cycle too. This is one
of those problems that has been talked about for at least half a
decade, finally there's a solution and code to go with it.

writeback: reset wb_domain->dirty_limit[_tstmp] when memcg domain size changes
writeback: implement memcg wb_domain
writeback: update wb_over_bg_thresh() to use wb_domain aware operations
...
While cgroup writeback support now connects memcg and blkcg so that
writeback IOs are properly attributed and controlled, the IO back
pressure propagation mechanism implemented in balance_dirty_pages()
and its subroutines wasn't aware of cgroup writeback.
Processes belonging to a memcg may have access to only subset of total
memory available in the system and not factoring this into dirty
throttling rendered it completely ineffective for processes under
memcg limits and memcg ended up building a separate ad-hoc degenerate
mechanism directly into vmscan code to limit page dirtying.
The previous patches updated balance_dirty_pages() and its subroutines
so that they can deal with multiple wb_domain's (writeback domains)
and defined per-memcg wb_domain. Processes belonging to a non-root
memcg are bound to two wb_domains, global wb_domain and memcg
wb_domain, and should be throttled according to IO pressures from both
domains. This patch updates dirty throttling code so that it repeats
similar calculations for the two domains - the differences between the
two are few and minor - and applies the lower of the two sets of
resulting constraints.
wb_over_bg_thresh(), which controls when background writeback
terminates, is also updated to consider both global and memcg
wb_domains. It returns true if dirty is over bg_thresh for either
domain.
This makes the dirty throttling mechanism operational for memcg
domains including writeback-bandwidth-proportional dirty page
distribution inside them but the ad-hoc memcg throttling mechanism in
vmscan is still in place. The next patch will rip it out.

Dirtyable memory is distributed to a wb (bdi_writeback) according to
the relative bandwidth the wb is writing out in the whole system.
This distribution is global - each wb is measured against all other
wb's and gets the proportinately sized portion of the memory in the
whole system.
For cgroup writeback, the amount of dirtyable memory is scoped by
memcg and thus each wb would need to be measured and controlled in its
memcg. IOW, a wb will belong to two writeback domains - the global
and memcg domains.
The previous patches laid the groundwork to support the two wb_domains
and this patch implements memcg wb_domain. memcg->cgwb_domain is
initialized on css online and destroyed on css release,
wb->memcg_completions is added, and __wb_writeout_inc() is updated to
increment completions against both global and memcg wb_domains.
The following patches will update balance_dirty_pages() and its
subroutines to actually consider memcg wb_domain for throttling.

For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi
(backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb
(bdi_writeback). This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host
multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks).
On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg. This allows
using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every
memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a
dedicated wb to each memcg. This means that there may be multiple
wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg. As congested state is per
blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested
state. This is achieved by tracking congested state via
bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg.
bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup.
cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or
looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page
being dirtied or current task. Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree
by its memcg id. Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be
retrieved using inode_to_wb().
Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all
pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb.
v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside
mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL.
Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed. Both
detected by the kbuild bot.
v2: Updated so that wb association is per inode and wb is per memcg
rather than blkcg.

Implement mem_cgroup_css_from_page() which returns the
cgroup_subsys_state of the memcg associated with a given page on the
default hierarchy. This will be used by cgroup writeback support.
This function assumes that page->mem_cgroup association doesn't change
until the page is released, which is true on the default hierarchy as
long as replace_page_cache_page() is not used. As the only user of
replace_page_cache_page() is FUSE which won't support cgroup writeback
for the time being, this works for now, and replace_page_cache_page()
will soon be updated so that the invariant actually holds.
Note that the RCU protected page->mem_cgroup access is consistent with
other usages across memcg but ultimately incorrect. These unlocked
accesses are missing required barriers. page->mem_cgroup should be
made an RCU pointer and updated and accessed using RCU operations.
v4: Instead of triggering WARN, return the root css on the traditional
hierarchies. This makes the function a lot easier to deal with
especially as there's no light way to synchronize against
hierarchy rebinding.
v3: s/mem_cgroup_migrate()/mem_cgroup_css_from_page()/
v2: Trigger WARN if the function is used on the traditional
hierarchies and add comment about the assumed invariant.

When modifying PG_Dirty on cached file pages, update the new
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_DIRTY counter. This is done in the same places where
global NR_FILE_DIRTY is managed. The new memcg stat is visible in the
per memcg memory.stat cgroupfs file. The most recent past attempt at
this was http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/8632
The new accounting supports future efforts to add per cgroup dirty
page throttling and writeback. It also helps an administrator break
down a container's memory usage and provides evidence to understand
memcg oom kills (the new dirty count is included in memcg oom kill
messages).
The ability to move page accounting between memcg
(memory.move_charge_at_immigrate) makes this accounting more
complicated than the global counter. The existing
mem_cgroup_{begin,end}_page_stat() lock is used to serialize move
accounting with stat updates.
Typical update operation:
memcg = mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(page)
if (TestSetPageDirty()) {
[...]
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(memcg)
}
mem_cgroup_end_page_stat(memcg)
Summary of mem_cgroup_end_page_stat() overhead:
- Without CONFIG_MEMCG it's a no-op
- With CONFIG_MEMCG and no inter memcg task movement, it's just
rcu_read_lock()
- With CONFIG_MEMCG and inter memcg task movement, it's
rcu_read_lock() + spin_lock_irqsave()
A memcg parameter is added to several routines because their callers
now grab mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() which returns the memcg later
needed by for mem_cgroup_update_page_stat().
Because mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() may disable interrupts, some
adjustments are needed:
- move __mark_inode_dirty() from __set_page_dirty() to its caller.
__mark_inode_dirty() locking does not want interrupts disabled.
- use spin_lock_irqsave(tree_lock) rather than spin_lock_irq() in
__delete_from_page_cache(), replace_page_cache_page(),
invalidate_complete_page2(), and __remove_mapping().
