Patch series "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2".
Some of the v1 code is still in v2 code base due to v1 fields in the
struct memcg_vmstats_percpu. This field decouples those fileds from v2
struct and move all the related code into v1 only code base.
This patch (of 7):
At the moment struct memcg_vmstats_percpu contains two v1 only fields
which consumes memory even when CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 is not enabled. In
addition there are v1 only functions accessing them and are in the main
memcontrol source file and can not be moved to v1 only source file due to
these fields. Let's move these fields into their own struct. Later
patches will move the functions accessing them to v1 source file and only
allocate these fields when CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 is enabled.

obj_cgroup_memcg() is supposed to safe to prevent the returned memory
cgroup from being freed only when the caller is holding the rcu read lock
or objcg_lock or cgroup_mutex. It is very easy to ignore thoes conditions
when users call some upper APIs which call obj_cgroup_memcg() internally
like mem_cgroup_from_slab_obj() (See the link below). So it is better to
add lockdep assertion to obj_cgroup_memcg() to find those issues ASAP.
Because there is no user of obj_cgroup_memcg() holding objcg_lock to make
the returned memory cgroup safe, do not add objcg_lock assertion (We
should export objcg_lock if we really want to do). Additionally, this is
some internal implementation detail of memcg and should not be accessible
outside memcg code.
Some users like __mem_cgroup_uncharge() do not care the lifetime of the
returned memory cgroup, which just want to know if the folio is charged to
a memory cgroup, therefore, they do not need to hold the needed locks. In
which case, introduce a new helper folio_memcg_charged() to do this.
Compare it to folio_memcg(), it could eliminate a memory access of
objcg->memcg for kmem, actually, a really small gain.

Patch series "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers", v7.
This patch (of 2):
Other mechanisms for querying the peak memory usage of either a process or
v1 memory cgroup allow for resetting the high watermark. Restore parity
with those mechanisms, but with a less racy API.
For example:
- Any write to memory.max_usage_in_bytes in a cgroup v1 mount resets
the high watermark.
- writing "5" to the clear_refs pseudo-file in a processes's proc
directory resets the peak RSS.
This change is an evolution of a previous patch, which mostly copied the
cgroup v1 behavior, however, there were concerns about races/ownership
issues with a global reset, so instead this change makes the reset
filedescriptor-local.
Writing any non-empty string to the memory.peak and memory.swap.peak
pseudo-files reset the high watermark to the current usage for subsequent
reads through that same FD.
Notably, following Johannes's suggestion, this implementation moves the
O(FDs that have written) behavior onto the FD write(2) path. Instead, on
the page-allocation path, we simply add one additional watermark to
conditionally bump per-hierarchy level in the page-counter.
Additionally, this takes Longman's suggestion of nesting the
page-charging-path checks for the two watermarks to reduce the number of
common-case comparisons.
This behavior is particularly useful for work scheduling systems that need
to track memory usage of worker processes/cgroups per-work-item. Since
memory can't be squeezed like CPU can (the OOM-killer has opinions), these
systems need to track the peak memory usage to compute system/container
fullness when binpacking workitems.
Most notably, Vimeo's use-case involves a system that's doing global
binpacking across many Kubernetes pods/containers, and while we can use
PSI for some local decisions about overload, we strive to avoid packing
workloads too tightly in the first place. To facilitate this, we track
the peak memory usage. However, since we run with long-lived workers (to
amortize startup costs) we need a way to track the high watermark while a
work-item is executing. Polling runs the risk of missing short spikes
that last for timescales below the polling interval, and peak memory
tracking at the cgroup level is otherwise perfect for this use-case.
As this data is used to ensure that binpacked work ends up with sufficient
headroom, this use-case mostly avoids the inaccuracies surrounding
reclaimable memory.

Patch series "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations", v3.
This patchset contains 3 independent small optimizations of page counters.
This patch (of 3):
Memory protection (min/low) requires a constant tracking of protected
memory usage. propagate_protected_usage() is called on each page counters
update and does a number of operations even in cases when the actual
memory protection functionality is not supported (e.g. hugetlb cgroups or
memcg swap counters).
It's obviously inefficient and leads to a waste of CPU cycles. It can be
addressed by calling propagate_protected_usage() only for the counters
which do support memory guarantees. As of now it's only memcg->memory -
the unified memory memcg counter.

This patch (of 3):
At the moment the valid index for the indirection tables for memcg stats
and events is < S8_MAX. These indirection tables are used in performance
critical codepaths. With the latest addition to the vm_events, the
NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS has gone over S8_MAX. One way to resolve is to increase
the entry size of the indirection table from int8_t to int16_t but this
will increase the potential number of cachelines needed to access the
indirection table.
This patch took a different approach and make the valid index < U8_MAX.
In this way the size of the indirection tables will remain same and we
only need to invalid index check from less than 0 to equal to U8_MAX. In
this approach we have also removed a subtraction from the performance
critical codepaths.

Currently, the behavior of zswap.writeback wrt. the cgroup hierarchy
seems a bit odd. Unlike zswap.max, it doesn't honor the value from parent
cgroups. This surfaced when people tried to globally disable zswap
writeback, i.e. reserve physical swap space only for hibernation [1] -
disabling zswap.writeback only for the root cgroup results in subcgroups
with zswap.writeback=1 still performing writeback.
The inconsistency became more noticeable after I introduced the
MemoryZSwapWriteback= systemd unit setting [2] for controlling the knob.
The patch assumed that the kernel would enforce the value of parent
cgroups. It could probably be workarounded from systemd's side, by going
up the slice unit tree and inheriting the value. Yet I think it's more
sensible to make it behave consistently with zswap.max and friends.

Commit 73f576c04b ("mm: memcontrol: fix cgroup creation failure after
many small jobs") decoupled the memcg IDs from the CSS ID space to fix the
cgroup creation failures. It introduced IDR to maintain the memcg ID
space. The IDR depends on external synchronization mechanisms for
modifications. For the mem_cgroup_idr, the idr_alloc() and idr_replace()
happen within css callback and thus are protected through cgroup_mutex
from concurrent modifications. However idr_remove() for mem_cgroup_idr
was not protected against concurrency and can be run concurrently for
different memcgs when they hit their refcnt to zero. Fix that.
We have been seeing list_lru based kernel crashes at a low frequency in
our fleet for a long time. These crashes were in different part of
list_lru code including list_lru_add(), list_lru_del() and reparenting
code. Upon further inspection, it looked like for a given object (dentry
and inode), the super_block's list_lru didn't have list_lru_one for the
memcg of that object. The initial suspicions were either the object is
not allocated through kmem_cache_alloc_lru() or somehow
memcg_list_lru_alloc() failed to allocate list_lru_one() for a memcg but
returned success. No evidence were found for these cases.
Looking more deeply, we started seeing situations where valid memcg's id
is not present in mem_cgroup_idr and in some cases multiple valid memcgs
have same id and mem_cgroup_idr is pointing to one of them. So, the most
reasonable explanation is that these situations can happen due to race
between multiple idr_remove() calls or race between
idr_alloc()/idr_replace() and idr_remove(). These races are causing
multiple memcgs to acquire the same ID and then offlining of one of them
would cleanup list_lrus on the system for all of them. Later access from
other memcgs to the list_lru cause crashes due to missing list_lru_one.

CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM used to be a user-visible option for whether slab
tracking is enabled. It has been default-enabled and equivalent to
CONFIG_MEMCG for almost a decade. We've only grown more kernel memory
accounting sites since, and there is no imaginable cgroup usecase going
forward that wants to track user pages but not the multitude of
user-drivable kernel allocations.

Even on 6.10-rc6, I've been seeing elusive "Bad page state"s (often on
flags when freeing, yet the flags shown are not bad: PG_locked had been
set and cleared??), and VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) == 0)s from
deferred_split_scan()'s folio_put(), and a variety of other BUG and WARN
symptoms implying double free by deferred split and large folio migration.
6.7 commit 9bcef5973e ("mm: memcg: fix split queue list crash when large
folio migration") was right to fix the memcg-dependent locking broken in
85ce2c517a ("memcontrol: only transfer the memcg data for migration"),
but missed a subtlety of deferred_split_scan(): it moves folios to its own
local list to work on them without split_queue_lock, during which time
folio->_deferred_list is not empty, but even the "right" lock does nothing
to secure the folio and the list it is on.
Fortunately, deferred_split_scan() is careful to use folio_try_get(): so
folio_migrate_mapping() can avoid the race by folio_undo_large_rmappable()
while the old folio's reference count is temporarily frozen to 0 - adding
such a freeze in the !mapping case too (originally, folio lock and
unmapping and no swap cache left an anon folio unreachable, so no freezing
was needed there: but the deferred split queue offers a way to reach it).

Currently it uses WARN_ON_ONCE() if seq_buf overflows when user reads
memory.stat, the only advantage of WARN_ON_ONCE is that the splat is so
verbose that it gets noticed. And also it panics the system if
panic_on_warn is enabled. It seems like the warning is just an over
reaction and a simple pr_warn should just achieve the similar effect.

This patchset puts all cgroup v1's members of struct mem_cgroup, struct
mem_cgroup_per_node and struct task_struct under the CONFIG_MEMCG_V1
config option. If cgroup v1 support is not required (and it's true for
many cgroup users these days), it allows to save a bit of memory and
compile out some code, some of which is on relatively hot paths. It also
structures the code a bit better by grouping cgroup v1-specific stuff in
one place.
This patch (of 9):
memcg_account_kmem() consists of a trivial statistics change via
mod_memcg_state() call and a relatively large memcg1-specific part.
Let's factor out the mod_memcg_state() call and move the rest into the

memcg1_account_kmem() for consistency.

argument to memory.reclaim. This overrides the global or per-memcg
swappiness setting for that reclaim attempt.
For example:
echo "2M swappiness=0" > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory.reclaim
will perform reclaim on the rootcg with a swappiness setting of 0 (no
swap) regardless of the vm.swappiness sysctl setting.
Userspace proactive reclaimers use the memory.reclaim interface to trigger
reclaim. The memory.reclaim interface does not allow for any way to
effect the balance of file vs anon during proactive reclaim. The only
approach is to adjust the vm.swappiness setting. However, there are a few
reasons we look to control the balance of file vs anon during proactive
reclaim, separately from reactive reclaim:
* Swapout should be limited to manage SSD write endurance. In near-OOM
situations we are fine with lots of swap-out to avoid OOMs. As these
are typically rare events, they have relatively little impact on write
endurance. However, proactive reclaim runs continuously and so its
impact on SSD write endurance is more significant. Therefore it is
desireable to control swap-out for proactive reclaim separately from
reactive reclaim
* Some userspace OOM killers like systemd-oomd[1] support OOM killing on
swap exhaustion. This makes sense if the swap exhaustion is triggered
due to reactive reclaim but less so if it is triggered due to proactive
reclaim (e.g. one could see OOMs when free memory is ample but anon is
just particularly cold). Therefore, it's desireable to have proactive
reclaim reduce or stop swap-out before the threshold at which OOM
killing occurs.
In the case of Meta's Senpai proactive reclaimer, we adjust vm.swappiness
before writes to memory.reclaim[2]. This has been in production for
nearly two years and has addressed our needs to control proactive vs
reactive reclaim behavior but is still not ideal for a number of reasons:
* vm.swappiness is a global setting, adjusting it can race/interfere
with other system administration that wishes to control vm.swappiness.
In our case, we need to disable Senpai before adjusting vm.swappiness.
* vm.swappiness is stateful - so a crash or restart of Senpai can leave
a misconfigured setting. This requires some additional management to
record the "desired" setting and ensure Senpai always adjusts to it.
With this patch, we avoid these downsides of adjusting vm.swappiness
globally.

Put legacy cgroup v1 memory controller code under a new CONFIG_MEMCG_V1
config option. The option is turned off by default. Nobody except those
who are still using cgroup v1 should turn it on.
If the option is not set, memory controller can still be mounted under
cgroup v1, but none of memcg-specific control files are present.
Please note, that not all cgroup v1's memory controller code is guarded
yet (but most of it), it's a subject for some follow-up work.
Thanks to Michal Hocko for providing a better Kconfig option description.

Cgroup v1 supports a complicated OOM handling in userspace mechanism,
which is not supported by cgroup v2. Let's move the corresponding code
into memcontrol-v1.c.
Aside from mechanical code movement this patch introduces two new
functions: memcg1_oom_prepare() and memcg1_oom_finish(). Those are
implementing cgroup v1-specific parts of the common memcg OOM handling
path.

doesn't support moving charged pages between cgroups.
It's a fairly large and complicated code which created a number of
problems in the past. Let's move this code into memcontrol-v1.c. It
shaves off 1k lines from memcontrol.c. It's also another step towards
making the legacy memory controller code optionally compiled.

mem_cgroup_migrate() will clear the memcg data of the old folio,
therefore, the callers must make sure the old folio is no longer on the
LRU list, otherwise the old folio can not get the correct lruvec object
without the memcg data, which could lead to potential problems [1].
Thus adding a VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO() to catch this issue.

Currently we use one swap_address_space for every 64M chunk to reduce lock
contention, this is like having a set of smaller swap files inside one
swap device. But when doing swap cache look up or insert, we are still
using the offset of the whole large swap device. This is OK for
correctness, as the offset (key) is unique.
But Xarray is specially optimized for small indexes, it creates the radix
tree levels lazily to be just enough to fit the largest key stored in one
Xarray. So we are wasting tree nodes unnecessarily.
For 64M chunk it should only take at most 3 levels to contain everything.
But if we are using the offset from the whole swap device, the offset
(key) value will be way beyond 64M, and so will the tree level.
Optimize this by using a new helper swap_cache_index to get a swap entry's
unique offset in its own 64M swap_address_space.
I see a ~1% performance gain in benchmark and actual workload with high
memory pressure.
Test with `time memhog 128G` inside a 8G memcg using 128G swap (ramdisk
with SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO dropped, tested 3 times, results are stable. The
test result is similar but the improvement is smaller if
SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO is enabled, as swap out path can never skip swap
cache):
Before:

When testing shmem swapin, I encountered the warning below on my machine.
The reason is that replacing an old shmem folio with a new one causes
mem_cgroup_migrate() to clear the old folio's memcg data. As a result,
the old folio cannot get the correct memcg's lruvec needed to remove
itself from the LRU list when it is being freed. This could lead to
possible serious problems, such as LRU list crashes due to holding the
wrong LRU lock, and incorrect LRU statistics.
To fix this issue, we can fallback to use the mem_cgroup_replace_folio()
to replace the old shmem folio.

The assert was introduced in the commit cited below as an insurance that
the semantic is the same after the local_irq_save() has been removed and
the function has been made static.
The original requirement to disable interrupt was due the modification
of per-CPU counters which require interrupts to be disabled because the
counter update operation is not atomic and some of the counters are
updated from interrupt context.
All callers of __mod_objcg_mlstate() acquire a lock
(memcg_stock.stock_lock) which disables interrupts on !PREEMPT_RT and
the lockdep assert is satisfied. On PREEMPT_RT the interrupts are not
disabled and the assert triggers.
The safety of the counter update is already ensured by
VM_WARN_ON_IRQS_ENABLED() which is part of __mod_memcg_lruvec_state() and
does not require yet another check.
Remove the lockdep assert from __mod_objcg_mlstate().

alloc_mem_cgroup_per_node_info() returns int that doesn't map to any errno
error code. The only existing caller doesn't really need an error code so
change the function to return bool (true on success) because this is
slightly less confusing and more consistent with the other code.

A memcg pointer in the per-cpu stock can be accessed by
drain_all_stock() and consume_stock() in parallel, causing a potential
race, which is believed to e harmless.
KCSAN shows this data-race clearly in the splat below:

Make the shared addresses bulletproof regarding to reads and writes,

Annotate all accesses to stock->nr_pages with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE().

type with enum memcg_stat_item and compiler will be able to warn if memcg
stat update functions are called with incorrect index value.

At the moment, the amount of memory allocated for stats related structs in
the mem_cgroup corresponds to the size of enum node_stat_item. However
not all fields in enum node_stat_item have corresponding memcg stats. So,
let's use indirection mechanism similar to the one used for memcg vmstats
management.
For a given x86_64 config, the size of stats with and without patch is:
structs size in bytes w/o with
struct lruvec_stats 1128 648
struct lruvec_stats_percpu 752 432
struct memcg_vmstats 1832 1352
struct memcg_vmstats_percpu 1280 960
The memory savings are further compounded by the fact that these structs
are allocated for each cpu and for each node. To be precise, for each
memcg the memory saved would be:
Memory saved = ((21 * 3 * NR_NODES) + (21 * 2 * NR_NODES * NR_CPUS) +
(21 * 3) + (21 * 2 * NR_CPUS)) * sizeof(long)
Where 21 is the number of fields eliminated.

Patch series "memcg: reduce memory consumption by memcg stats", v4.
Most of the memory overhead of a memcg object is due to memcg stats
maintained by the kernel. Since stats updates happen in performance
critical codepaths, the stats are maintained per-cpu and numa specific
stats are maintained per-node * per-cpu. This drastically increase the
overhead on large machines i.e. large of CPUs and multiple numa nodes.
This patch series tries to reduce the overhead by at least not allocating
the memory for stats which are not memcg specific.
This patch (of 8):
mem_cgroup_events_index is a translation table to get the right index of
the memcg relevant entry for the general vm_event_item. At the moment, it
is defined as integer array. However on a typical system the max entry of
vm_event_item (NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS) is 113, so we don't need to use int as
storage type of the array. For now just use int8_t as type and add a
BUILD_BUG_ON().
Another benefit of this change is that the translation table fits in 2
cachelines while previously it would require 8 cachelines (assuming 64
bytes cacheline).

The race occurs because two code paths access the same "stats_updates"
location. Although "stats_updates" is a per-CPU variable, it is remotely
accessed by another CPU at
cgroup_rstat_flush_locked()->mem_cgroup_css_rstat_flush(), leading to the
data race mentioned.
Considering that memcg_rstat_updated() is in the hot code path, adding a
lock to protect it may not be desirable, especially since this variable
pertains solely to statistics.
Therefore, annotating accesses to stats_updates with READ/WRITE_ONCE() can
prevent KCSAN splats and potential partial reads/writes.

Similarly mod_objcg_state() is not called from outside of memcontrol.c, so
simply make it static and change it's name to __mod_objcg_state().

Patch series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring", v3.
This patch (of 2):
The MEMCG_KMEM integration with slab currently relies on two hooks during
allocation. memcg_slab_pre_alloc_hook() determines the objcg and charges
it, and memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook() assigns the objcg pointer to the
allocated object(s).
As Linus pointed out, this is unnecessarily complex. Failing to charge
due to memcg limits should be rare, so we can optimistically allocate the
object(s) and do the charging together with assigning the objcg pointer in
a single post_alloc hook. In the rare case the charging fails, we can
free the object(s) back.
This simplifies the code (no need to pass around the objcg pointer) and
potentially allows to separate charging from allocation in cases where
it's common that the allocation would be immediately freed, and the memcg
handling overhead could be saved.

Patch series "Various significant MM patches".
These patches all interact in annoying ways which make it tricky to send
them out in any way other than a big batch, even though there's not really
an overarching theme to connect them.
The big effects of this patch series are:
- folio_test_hugetlb() becomes reliable, even when called without a
page reference
- We free up PG_slab, and we could always use more page flags
- We no longer need to check PageSlab before calling page_mapcount()
This patch (of 9):
For compound pages which are at least order-2 (and hence have a
deferred_list), initialise it and then we can check at free that the page
is not part of a deferred list. We recently found this useful to rule out
a source of corruption.

Before 388536ac291 ("mm:vmscan: fix inaccurate reclaim during proactive
reclaim") we passed the number of pages for the reclaim request directly
to try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages, which could lead to significant
overreclaim. After 0388536ac2 the number of pages was limited to a
maximum 32 (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX) to reduce the amount of overreclaim.
However such a small batch size caused a regression in reclaim performance
due to many more reclaim start/stop cycles inside memory_reclaim. The
restart cost is amortized over more pages with larger batch sizes, and
becomes a significant component of the runtime if the batch size is too
small.
Reclaim tries to balance nr_to_reclaim fidelity with fairness across nodes
and cgroups over which the pages are spread. As such, the bigger the
request, the bigger the absolute overreclaim error. Historic in-kernel
users of reclaim have used fixed, small sized requests to approach an
appropriate reclaim rate over time. When we reclaim a user request of
arbitrary size, use decaying batch sizes to manage error while maintaining
reasonable throughput.

The root memcg is onlined even when memcg is disabled. When it's onlined
a 2 second periodic stat flush is started, but no stat flushing is
required when memcg is disabled because there can be no child memcgs.
Most calls to flush memcg stats are avoided when memcg is disabled as a
result of the mem_cgroup_disabled check added in 7d7ef0a468 ("mm: memcg:
restore subtree stats flushing"), but the periodic flushing started in
mem_cgroup_css_online is not. Skip it.

One of our workloads (Postgres 14) has regressed when migrated from 5.10
to 6.1 upstream kernel. The regression can be reproduced by sysbench's
oltp_write_only benchmark. It seems like the always on rstat flush in
mem_cgroup_wb_stats() is causing the regression. So, rate limit that
specific rstat flush. One potential consequence would be the dirty
throttling might be decided on stale memcg stats. However from our
benchmarks and production traffic we have not observed any change in the
dirty throttling behavior of the application.

Patch series "Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios".
No part of these patches should change behaviour; all the called functions
already convert from page to folio, so this ought to simply be a reduction
in the number of calls to compound_head().
This patch (of 4):
Remove many calls to compound_head() by calling page_folio() once at the
start of each stanza which receives a struct page from 'target'. There
should be no change in behaviour here as all the called functions start
out by converting the page to its folio.

The swapaccount deprecation warning is throwing false positives. Since we
deprecated the knob and defaulted to enabling, the only reports we've been
getting are from folks that set swapaccount=1. While this is a nice
affirmation that always-enabling was the right choice, we certainly don't
want to warn when users request the supported mode.
Only warn when disabling is requested, and clarify the warning.

In memcg_rstat_updated(), we iterate the memcg being updated and its
parents to update memcg->vmstats_percpu->stats_updates in the fast path
(i.e. no atomic updates). According to my math, this is 3 memory loads
(and potentially 3 cache misses) per memcg:
- Load the address of memcg->vmstats_percpu.
- Load vmstats_percpu->stats_updates (based on some percpu calculation).
- Load the address of the parent memcg.
Avoid most of the cache misses by caching a pointer from each struct
memcg_vmstats_percpu to its parent on the corresponding CPU. In this
case, for the first memcg we have 2 memory loads (same as above):
- Load the address of memcg->vmstats_percpu.
- Load vmstats_percpu->stats_updates (based on some percpu calculation).
Then for each additional memcg, we need a single load to get the
parent's stats_updates directly. This reduces the number of loads from
O(3N) to O(2+N) -- where N is the number of memcgs we need to iterate.
Additionally, stash a pointer to memcg->vmstats in each struct
memcg_vmstats_percpu such that we can access the atomic counter that all
CPUs fold into, memcg->vmstats->stats_updates.
memcg_should_flush_stats() is changed to memcg_vmstats_needs_flush() to
accept a struct memcg_vmstats pointer accordingly.
In struct memcg_vmstats_percpu, make sure both pointers together with
stats_updates live on the same cacheline. Finally, update
mem_cgroup_alloc() to take in a parent pointer and initialize the new
cache pointers on each CPU. The percpu loop in mem_cgroup_alloc() may
look concerning, but there are multiple similar loops in the cgroup
creation path (e.g. cgroup_rstat_init()), most of which are hidden
within alloc_percpu().
According to Oliver's testing [1], this fixes multiple 30-38%
regressions in vm-scalability, will-it-scale-tlb_flush2, and
will-it-scale-fallocate1. This comes at a cost of 2 more pointers per
CPU (<2KB on a machine with 128 CPUs).

While investigating hosts with high cgroup memory pressures, Tejun
found culprit zombie tasks that had were holding on to a lot of
memory, had SIGKILL pending, but were stuck in memory.high reclaim.
In the past, we used to always force-charge allocations from tasks
that were exiting in order to accelerate them dying and freeing up
their rss. This changed for memory.max in a4ebf1b6ca ("memcg:
prohibit unconditional exceeding the limit of dying tasks"); it noted
that this can cause (userspace inducable) containment failures, so it
added a mandatory reclaim and OOM kill cycle before forcing charges.
At the time, memory.high enforcement was handled in the userspace
return path, which isn't reached by dying tasks, and so memory.high
was still never enforced by dying tasks.
When c9afe31ec4 ("memcg: synchronously enforce memory.high for large
overcharges") added synchronous reclaim for memory.high, it added
unconditional memory.high enforcement for dying tasks as well. The
callstack shows that this path is where the zombie is stuck in.
We need to accelerate dying tasks getting past memory.high, but we
cannot do it quite the same way as we do for memory.max: memory.max is
enforced strictly, and tasks aren't allowed to move past it without
FIRST reclaiming and OOM killing if necessary. This ensures very small
levels of excess. With memory.high, though, enforcement happens lazily
after the charge, and OOM killing is never triggered. A lot of
concurrent threads could have pushed, or could actively be pushing,
the cgroup into excess. The dying task will enter reclaim on every
allocation attempt, with little hope of restoring balance.
To fix this, skip synchronous memory.high enforcement on dying tasks
altogether again. Update memory.high path documentation while at it.

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- SLUB: delayed freezing of CPU partial slabs (Chengming Zhou)
Freezing is an operation involving double_cmpxchg() that makes a slab
exclusive for a particular CPU. Chengming noticed that we use it also
in situations where we are not yet installing the slab as the CPU
slab, because freezing also indicates that the slab is not on the
shared list. This results in redundant freeze/unfreeze operation and
can be avoided by marking separately the shared list presence by
reusing the PG_workingset flag.
This approach neatly avoids the issues described in 9b1ea29bc0
("Revert "mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab()
fails"") as we can now grab a slab from the shared list in a quick
and guaranteed way without the cmpxchg_double() operation that
amplifies the lock contention and can fail.
As a result, lkp has reported 34.2% improvement of
stress-ng.rawudp.ops_per_sec
- SLAB removal and SLUB cleanups (Vlastimil Babka)
The SLAB allocator has been deprecated since 6.5 and nobody has
objected so far. We agreed at LSF/MM to wait until the next LTS,
which is 6.6, so we should be good to go now.
This doesn't yet erase all traces of SLAB outside of mm/ so some dead
code, comments or documentation remain, and will be cleaned up
gradually (some series are already in the works).
Removing the choice of allocators has already allowed to simplify and
optimize the code wiring up the kmalloc APIs to the SLUB
implementation.

During our experiment with zswap, we sometimes observe swap IOs due to
occasional zswap store failures and writebacks-to-swap. These swapping
IOs prevent many users who cannot tolerate swapping from adopting zswap to
save memory and improve performance where possible.
This patch adds the option to disable this behavior entirely: do not
writeback to backing swapping device when a zswap store attempt fail, and
do not write pages in the zswap pool back to the backing swap device (both
when the pool is full, and when the new zswap shrinker is called).
This new behavior can be opted-in/out on a per-cgroup basis via a new
cgroup file. By default, writebacks to swap device is enabled, which is
the previous behavior. Initially, writeback is enabled for the root
cgroup, and a newly created cgroup will inherit the current setting of its
parent.
Note that this is subtly different from setting memory.swap.max to 0, as
it still allows for pages to be stored in the zswap pool (which itself
consumes swap space in its current form).
This patch should be applied on top of the zswap shrinker series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20231130194023.4102148-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/
as it also disables the zswap shrinker, a major source of zswap
writebacks.
For the most part, this feature is motivated by internal parties who
have already established their opinions regarding swapping - the
workloads that are highly sensitive to IO, and especially those who are
using servers with really slow disk performance (for instance, massive
but slow HDDs). For these folks, it's impossible to convince them to
even entertain zswap if swapping also comes as a packaged deal.
Writeback disabling is quite a useful feature in these situations - on
a mixed workloads deployment, they can disable writeback for the more
IO-sensitive workloads, and enable writeback for other background
workloads.
For instance, on a server with HDD, I allocate memories and populate
them with random values (so that zswap store will always fail), and
specify memory.high low enough to trigger reclaim. The time it takes
to allocate the memories and just read through it a couple of times
(doing silly things like computing the values' average etc.):
zswap.writeback disabled:
real 0m30.537s
user 0m23.687s
sys 0m6.637s
0 pages swapped in
0 pages swapped out
zswap.writeback enabled:
real 0m45.061s
user 0m24.310s
sys 0m8.892s
712686 pages swapped in
461093 pages swapped out
(the last two lines are from vmstat -s).

The reason for the crash is that, the commit 85ce2c517a ("memcontrol:
only transfer the memcg data for migration") removed the charging and
uncharging operations of the migration folios and cleared the memcg data
of the old folio.
During the subsequent release process of the old large folio in
destroy_large_folio(), if the large folio needs to be removed from the
split queue, an incorrect split queue can be obtained (which is
pgdat->deferred_split_queue) because the old folio's memcg is NULL now.
This can lead to list operations being performed under the wrong split
queue lock protection, resulting in a list crash as above.
After the migration, the old folio is going to be freed, so we can remove
it from the split queue in mem_cgroup_migrate() a bit earlier before
clearing the memcg data to avoid getting incorrect split queue.

Stats flushing for memcg currently follows the following rules:
- Always flush the entire memcg hierarchy (i.e. flush the root).
- Only one flusher is allowed at a time. If someone else tries to flush
concurrently, they skip and return immediately.
- A periodic flusher flushes all the stats every 2 seconds.
The reason this approach is followed is because all flushes are serialized
by a global rstat spinlock. On the memcg side, flushing is invoked from
userspace reads as well as in-kernel flushers (e.g. reclaim, refault,
etc). This approach aims to avoid serializing all flushers on the global
lock, which can cause a significant performance hit under high
concurrency.
This approach has the following problems:
- Occasionally a userspace read of the stats of a non-root cgroup will
be too expensive as it has to flush the entire hierarchy [1].
- Sometimes the stats accuracy are compromised if there is an ongoing
flush, and we skip and return before the subtree of interest is
actually flushed, yielding stale stats (by up to 2s due to periodic
flushing). This is more visible when reading stats from userspace,
but can also affect in-kernel flushers.
The latter problem is particulary a concern when userspace reads stats
after an event occurs, but gets stats from before the event. Examples:
- When memory usage / pressure spikes, a userspace OOM handler may look
at the stats of different memcgs to select a victim based on various
heuristics (e.g. how much private memory will be freed by killing
this). Reading stale stats from before the usage spike in this case
may cause a wrongful OOM kill.
- A proactive reclaimer may read the stats after writing to
memory.reclaim to measure the success of the reclaim operation. Stale
stats from before reclaim may give a false negative.
- Reading the stats of a parent and a child memcg may be inconsistent
(child larger than parent), if the flush doesn't happen when the
parent is read, but happens when the child is read.
As for in-kernel flushers, they will occasionally get stale stats. No
regressions are currently known from this, but if there are regressions,
they would be very difficult to debug and link to the source of the
problem.
This patch aims to fix these problems by restoring subtree flushing, and
removing the unified/coalesced flushing logic that skips flushing if there
is an ongoing flush. This change would introduce a significant regression
with global stats flushing thresholds. With per-memcg stats flushing
thresholds, this seems to perform really well. The thresholds protect the
underlying lock from unnecessary contention.
This patch was tested in two ways to ensure the latency of flushing is
up to par, on a machine with 384 cpus:
- A synthetic test with 5000 concurrent workers in 500 cgroups doing
allocations and reclaim, as well as 1000 readers for memory.stat
(variation of [2]). No regressions were noticed in the total runtime.
Note that significant regressions in this test are observed with
global stats thresholds, but not with per-memcg thresholds.
- A synthetic stress test for concurrently reading memcg stats while
memory allocation/freeing workers are running in the background,
provided by Wei Xu [3]. With 250k threads reading the stats every
100ms in 50k cgroups, 99.9% of reads take <= 50us. Less than 0.01%
of reads take more than 1ms, and no reads take more than 100ms.

A global counter for the magnitude of memcg stats update is maintained on
the memcg side to avoid invoking rstat flushes when the pending updates
are not significant. This avoids unnecessary flushes, which are not very
cheap even if there isn't a lot of stats to flush. It also avoids
unnecessary lock contention on the underlying global rstat lock.
Make this threshold per-memcg. The scheme is followed where percpu (now
also per-memcg) counters are incremented in the update path, and only
propagated to per-memcg atomics when they exceed a certain threshold.
This provides two benefits: (a) On large machines with a lot of memcgs,
the global threshold can be reached relatively fast, so guarding the
underlying lock becomes less effective. Making the threshold per-memcg
avoids this.
(b) Having a global threshold makes it hard to do subtree flushes, as we
cannot reset the global counter except for a full flush. Per-memcg
counters removes this as a blocker from doing subtree flushes, which helps
avoid unnecessary work when the stats of a small subtree are needed.
Nothing is free, of course. This comes at a cost: (a) A new per-cpu
counter per memcg, consuming NR_CPUS * NR_MEMCGS * 4 bytes. The extra
memory usage is insigificant.
(b) More work on the update side, although in the common case it will only
be percpu counter updates. The amount of work scales with the number of
ancestors (i.e. tree depth). This is not a new concept, adding a cgroup
to the rstat tree involves a parent loop, so is charging. Testing results
below show no significant regressions.
(c) The error margin in the stats for the system as a whole increases from
NR_CPUS * MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH to NR_CPUS * MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH * NR_MEMCGS.
This is probably fine because we have a similar per-memcg error in charges
coming from percpu stocks, and we have a periodic flusher that makes sure
we always flush all the stats every 2s anyway.
This patch was tested to make sure no significant regressions are
introduced on the update path as follows. The following benchmarks were
ran in a cgroup that is 2 levels deep (/sys/fs/cgroup/a/b/):
(1) Running 22 instances of netperf on a 44 cpu machine with
hyperthreading disabled. All instances are run in a level 2 cgroup, as
well as netserver:
# netserver -6
# netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K
Averaging 20 runs, the numbers are as follows:
Base: 40198.0 mbps
Patched: 38629.7 mbps (-3.9%)
The regression is minimal, especially for 22 instances in the same
cgroup sharing all ancestors (so updating the same atomics).
(2) will-it-scale page_fault tests. These tests (specifically
per_process_ops in page_fault3 test) detected a 25.9% regression before
for a change in the stats update path [1]. These are the
numbers from 10 runs (+ is good) on a machine with 256 cpus:

Patch series "mm: memcg: subtree stats flushing and thresholds", v4.
This series attempts to address shortages in today's approach for memcg
stats flushing, namely occasionally stale or expensive stat reads. The
series does so by changing the threshold that we use to decide whether to
trigger a flush to be per memcg instead of global (patch 3), and then
changing flushing to be per memcg (i.e. subtree flushes) instead of
global (patch 5).
This patch (of 5):
flush_next_time is an inaccurate name. It's not the next time that
periodic flushing will happen, it's rather the next time that ratelimited
flushing can happen if the periodic flusher is late.
Simplify its semantics by just storing the timestamp of the last flush
instead, flush_last_time. Move the 2*FLUSH_TIME addition to
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited(), and add a comment explaining it.
This way, all the ratelimiting semantics live in one place.
No functional change intended.

Currently, we only have a single global LRU for zswap. This makes it
impossible to perform worload-specific shrinking - an memcg cannot
determine which pages in the pool it owns, and often ends up writing pages
from other memcgs. This issue has been previously observed in practice
and mitigated by simply disabling memcg-initiated shrinking:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230530232435.3097106-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/T/#u
This patch fully resolves the issue by replacing the global zswap LRU
with memcg- and NUMA-specific LRUs, and modify the reclaim logic:
a) When a store attempt hits an memcg limit, it now triggers a
synchronous reclaim attempt that, if successful, allows the new
hotter page to be accepted by zswap.
b) If the store attempt instead hits the global zswap limit, it will
trigger an asynchronous reclaim attempt, in which an memcg is
selected for reclaim in a round-robin-like fashion.

Objcg vectors attached to slab pages to store slab object ownership
information are allocated using gfp flags for the original slab
allocation. Depending on slab page order and the size of slab objects,
objcg vector can take several pages.
If the original allocation was done with the __GFP_NOFAIL flag, it
triggered a warning in the page allocation code. Indeed, order > 1 pages
should not been allocated with the __GFP_NOFAIL flag.
Fix this by simply dropping the __GFP_NOFAIL flag when allocating the
objcg vector. It effectively allows to skip the accounting of a single
slab object under a heavy memory pressure.
An alternative would be to implement the mechanism to fallback to order-0
allocations for accounting metadata, which is also not perfect because it
will increase performance penalty and memory footprint of the kernel
memory accounting under memory pressure.

Switch to a scope-based protection of the objcg pointer on slab/kmem
allocation paths. Instead of using the get_() semantics in the
pre-allocation hook and put the reference afterwards, let's rely on the
fact that objcg is pinned by the scope.
It's possible because:
1) if the objcg is received from the current task struct, the task is
keeping a reference to the objcg.
2) if the objcg is received from an active memcg (remote charging),
the memcg is pinned by the scope and has a reference to the
corresponding objcg.

Keep a reference to the original objcg object for the entire life of a
memcg structure.
This allows to simplify the synchronization on the kernel memory
allocation paths: pinning a (live) memcg will also pin the corresponding
objcg.
The memory overhead of this change is minimal because object cgroups
usually outlive their corresponding memory cgroups even without this
change, so it's only an additional pointer per memcg.

To charge a freshly allocated kernel object to a memory cgroup, the kernel
needs to obtain an objcg pointer. Currently it does it indirectly by
obtaining the memcg pointer first and then calling to
__get_obj_cgroup_from_memcg().
Usually tasks spend their entire life belonging to the same object cgroup.
So it makes sense to save the objcg pointer on task_struct directly, so
it can be obtained faster. It requires some work on fork, exit and cgroup
migrate paths, but these paths are way colder.
To avoid any costly synchronization the following rules are applied:
1) A task sets it's objcg pointer itself.
2) If a task is being migrated to another cgroup, the least
significant bit of the objcg pointer is set atomically.
3) On the allocation path the objcg pointer is obtained locklessly
using the READ_ONCE() macro and the least significant bit is
checked. If it's set, the following procedure is used to update
it locklessly:
- task->objcg is zeroed using cmpxcg
- new objcg pointer is obtained
- task->objcg is updated using try_cmpxchg
- operation is repeated if try_cmpxcg fails
It guarantees that no updates will be lost if task migration
is racing against objcg pointer update. It also allows to keep
both read and write paths fully lockless.
Because the task is keeping a reference to the objcg, it can't go away
while the task is alive.
This commit doesn't change the way the remote memcg charging works.

Patch series "mm: improve performance of accounted kernel memory
allocations", v5.
This patchset improves the performance of accounted kernel memory
allocations by ~30% as measured by a micro-benchmark [1]. The benchmark
is very straightforward: 1M of 64 bytes-large kmalloc() allocations.
Below are results with the disabled kernel memory accounting, the original state
and with this patchset applied.
| | Kmem disabled | Original | Patched | Delta |
|-------------+---------------+----------+---------+--------|
| User cgroup | 29764 | 84548 | 59078 | -30.0% |
| Root cgroup | 29742 | 48342 | 31501 | -34.8% |
As we can see, the patchset removes the majority of the overhead when
there is no actual accounting (a task belongs to the root memory cgroup)
and almost halves the accounting overhead otherwise.
The main idea is to get rid of unnecessary memcg to objcg conversions and
switch to a scope-based protection of objcgs, which eliminates extra
operations with objcg reference counters under a rcu read lock. More
details are provided in individual commit descriptions.
This patch (of 5):
Manually inline memcg_kmem_bypass() and active_memcg() to speed up
get_obj_cgroup_from_current() by avoiding duplicate in_task() checks and
active_memcg() readings.
Also add a likely() macro to __get_obj_cgroup_from_memcg():
obj_cgroup_tryget() should succeed at almost all times except a very
unlikely race with the memcg deletion path.

Currently, hugetlb memory usage is not acounted for in the memory
controller, which could lead to memory overprotection for cgroups with
hugetlb-backed memory. This has been observed in our production system.
For instance, here is one of our usecases: suppose there are two 32G
containers. The machine is booted with hugetlb_cma=6G, and each container
may or may not use up to 3 gigantic page, depending on the workload within
it. The rest is anon, cache, slab, etc. We can set the hugetlb cgroup
limit of each cgroup to 3G to enforce hugetlb fairness. But it is very
difficult to configure memory.max to keep overall consumption, including
anon, cache, slab etc. fair.
What we have had to resort to is to constantly poll hugetlb usage and
readjust memory.max. Similar procedure is done to other memory limits
(memory.low for e.g). However, this is rather cumbersome and buggy.
Furthermore, when there is a delay in memory limits correction, (for e.g
when hugetlb usage changes within consecutive runs of the userspace
agent), the system could be in an over/underprotected state.
This patch rectifies this issue by charging the memcg when the hugetlb
folio is utilized, and uncharging when the folio is freed (analogous to
the hugetlb controller). Note that we do not charge when the folio is
allocated to the hugetlb pool, because at this point it is not owned by
any memcg.
Some caveats to consider:
* This feature is only available on cgroup v2.
* There is no hugetlb pool management involved in the memory
controller. As stated above, hugetlb folios are only charged towards
the memory controller when it is used. Host overcommit management
has to consider it when configuring hard limits.
* Failure to charge towards the memcg results in SIGBUS. This could
happen even if the hugetlb pool still has pages (but the cgroup
limit is hit and reclaim attempt fails).
* When this feature is enabled, hugetlb pages contribute to memory
reclaim protection. low, min limits tuning must take into account
hugetlb memory.
* Hugetlb pages utilized while this option is not selected will not
be tracked by the memory controller (even if cgroup v2 is remounted
later on).

For most migration use cases, only transfer the memcg data from the old
folio to the new folio, and clear the old folio's memcg data. No charging
and uncharging will be done.
This shaves off some work on the migration path, and avoids the temporary
double charging of a folio during its migration.
The only exception is replace_page_cache_folio(), which will use the old
mem_cgroup_migrate() (now renamed to mem_cgroup_replace_folio). In that
context, the isolation of the old page isn't quite as thorough as with
migration, so we cannot use our new implementation directly.
This patch is the result of the following discussion on the new hugetlb
memcg accounting behavior:

The patch also adds a helper function to obtain a reference to the

memcg_rstat_updated() uses the value of the state update to keep track of
the magnitude of pending updates, so that we only do a stats flush when
it's worth the work. Most values passed into memcg_rstat_updated() are in
pages, however, a few of them are actually in bytes or KBs.
To put this into perspective, a 512 byte slab allocation today would look
the same as allocating 512 pages. This may result in premature flushes,
which means unnecessary work and latency.
Normalize all the state values passed into memcg_rstat_updated() to pages.
Round up non-zero sub-page to 1 page, because memcg_rstat_updated()
ignores 0 page updates.

Patch series "mm: memcg: fix tracking of pending stats updates values", v2.
While working on adjacent code [1], I realized that the values passed into
memcg_rstat_updated() to keep track of the magnitude of pending updates is
consistent. It is mostly in pages, but sometimes it can be in bytes or
KBs. Fix that.
Patch 1 reworks memcg_page_state_unit() so that we can reuse it in patch 2
to check and normalize the units of state updates.
[1]https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230921081057.3440885-1-yosryahmed@google.com/
This patch (of 2):
memcg_page_state_unit() is currently used to identify the unit of a memcg
state item so that all stats in memory.stat are in bytes. However, it
lies about the units of WORKINGSET_* stats. These stats actually
represent pages, but we present them to userspace as a scalar number of
events. In retrospect, maybe those stats should have been memcg "events"
rather than memcg "state".
In preparation for using memcg_page_state_unit() for other purposes that
need to know the truthful units of different stat items, break it down
into two helpers:
- memcg_page_state_unit() retuns the actual unit of the item.
- memcg_page_state_output_unit() returns the unit used for output.
Use the latter instead of the former in memcg_page_state_output() and
lruvec_page_state_output(). While we are at it, let's show cgroup v1 some
love and add memcg_page_state_local_output() for consistency.
No functional change intended.

Since commit b603894248 ("mm: memcg: add swapcache stat for memcg v2")

At present, we support per-memcg reclaim strategy, however we do not know
the number of transparent huge pages being reclaimed, as we know the
transparent huge pages need to be splited before reclaim them, and they
will bring some performance bottleneck effect. for example, when two
memcg (A & B) are doing reclaim for anonymous pages at same time, and 'A'
memcg is reclaiming a large number of transparent huge pages, we can
better analyze that the performance bottleneck will be caused by 'A'
memcg. therefore, in order to better analyze such problems, there add THP
swap out info for per-memcg.

This reverts commits 86327e8eb9 ("memcg: drop kmem.limit_in_bytes") and
partially reverts 58056f7750 ("memcg, kmem: further deprecate
kmem.limit_in_bytes") which have incrementally removed support for the
kernel memory accounting hard limit. Unfortunately it has turned out that
there is still userspace depending on the existence of
memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes [1]. The underlying functionality is not
really required but the non-existent file just confuses the userspace
which fails in the result. The patch to fix this on the userspace side
has been submitted but it is hard to predict how it will propagate through
the maze of 3rd party consumers of the software.
Now, reverting alone 86327e8eb9 is not an option because there is
another set of userspace which cannot cope with ENOTSUPP returned when
writing to the file. Therefore we have to go and revisit 58056f7750 as
well. There are two ways to go ahead. Either we give up on the
deprecation and fully revert 58056f7750 as well or we can keep
kmem.limit_in_bytes but make the write a noop and warn about the fact.
This should work for both known breaking workloads which depend on the
existence but do not depend on the hard limit enforcement.
Note to backporters to stable trees. a8c49af3be ("memcg: add per-memcg
total kernel memory stat") introduced in 4.18 has added memcg_account_kmem
so the accounting is not done by obj_cgroup_charge_pages directly for v1
anymore. Prior kernels need to add it explicitly (thanks to Johannes for
pointing this out).

Currently, memcg uses rstat to maintain aggregated hierarchical stats.
Counters are maintained for hierarchical stats at each memcg. Rstat
tracks which cgroups have updates on which cpus to keep those counters
fresh on the read-side.
Non-hierarchical stats are currently not covered by rstat. Their per-cpu
counters are summed up on every read, which is expensive. The original
implementation did the same. At some point before rstat, non-hierarchical
aggregated counters were introduced by commit a983b5ebee ("mm:
memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in memory.stat reporting"). However,
those counters were updated on the performance critical write-side, which
caused regressions, so they were later removed by commit 815744d751
("mm: memcontrol: don't batch updates of local VM stats and events"). See
[1] for more detailed history.
Kernel versions in between a983b5ebee & 815744d751 (a year and a half)
enjoyed cheap reads of non-hierarchical stats, specifically on cgroup v1.
When moving to more recent kernels, a performance regression for reading
non-hierarchical stats is observed.
Now that we have rstat, we know exactly which percpu counters have updates
for each stat. We can maintain non-hierarchical counters again, making
reads much more efficient, without affecting the performance critical
write-side. Hence, add non-hierarchical (i.e local) counters for the
stats, and extend rstat flushing to keep those up-to-date.
A caveat is that we now need a stats flush before reading
local/non-hierarchical stats through {memcg/lruvec}_page_state_local() or
memcg_events_local(), where we previously only needed a flush to read
hierarchical stats. Most contexts reading non-hierarchical stats are
already doing a flush, add a flush to the only missing context in
count_shadow_nodes().
With this patch, reading memory.stat from 1000 memcgs is 3x faster on a
machine with 256 cpus on cgroup v1:
# for i in $(seq 1000); do mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cg$i; done
# time cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cg*/memory.stat > /dev/null
real 0m0.125s
user 0m0.005s
sys 0m0.120s
After:
real 0m0.032s
user 0m0.005s
sys 0m0.027s
To make sure there are no regressions on cgroup v2, I ran an artificial
reclaim/refault stress test [2] that creates (NR_CPUS * 2) cgroups,
assigns them limits, runs a worker process in each cgroup that allocates
tmpfs memory equal to quadruple the limit (to invoke reclaim
continuously), and then reads back the entire file (to invoke refaults).
All workers are run in parallel, and zram is used as a swapping backend.
Both reclaim and refault have conditional stats flushing. I ran this on a
machine with 112 cpus, once on mm-unstable, and once on mm-unstable with
this patch reverted.
(1) A few runs without this patch:
# time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
real 0m9.949s
user 0m0.496s
sys 14m44.974s
# time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
real 0m10.049s
user 0m0.486s
sys 14m55.791s
# time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
real 0m9.984s
user 0m0.481s
sys 14m53.841s
(2) A few runs with this patch:
# time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
real 0m9.885s
user 0m0.486s
sys 14m48.753s
# time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
real 0m9.903s
user 0m0.495s
sys 14m48.339s
# time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
real 0m9.861s
user 0m0.507s
sys 14m49.317s
No regressions are observed with this patch. There is actually a very
slight improvement. If I have to guess, maybe it's because we avoid
the percpu loop in count_shadow_nodes() when calling
lruvec_page_state_local(), but I could not prove this using perf, it's
probably in the noise.

Before commit f53af4285d ("mm: vmscan: fix extreme overreclaim and swap
floods"), proactive reclaim will extreme overreclaim sometimes. But
proactive reclaim still inaccurate and some extent overreclaim.
Problematic case is easy to construct. Allocate lots of anonymous memory
(e.g., 20G) in a memcg, then swapping by writing memory.recalim and there
is a certain probability of overreclaim. For example, request 1G by
writing memory.reclaim will eventually reclaim 1.7G or other values more
than 1G.
The reason is that reclaimer may have already reclaimed part of requested
memory in one loop, but before adjust sc->nr_to_reclaim in outer loop,
call shrink_lruvec() again will still follow the current sc->nr_to_reclaim
to work. It will eventually lead to overreclaim. In theory, the amount
of reclaimed would be in [request, 2 * request).
Reclaimer usually tends to reclaim more than request. But either direct
or kswapd reclaim have much smaller nr_to_reclaim targets, so it is less
noticeable and not have much impact.
Proactive reclaim can usually come in with a larger value, so the error is
difficult to ignore. Considering proactive reclaim is usually low
frequency, handle the batching into smaller chunks is a better approach.

walk_page_range() and friends often operate under write-locked mmap_lock.
With introduction of vma locks, the vmas have to be locked as well during
such walks to prevent concurrent page faults in these areas. Add an
additional member to mm_walk_ops to indicate locking requirements for the
walk.
The change ensures that page walks which prevent concurrent page faults
by write-locking mmap_lock, operate correctly after introduction of
per-vma locks. With per-vma locks page faults can be handled under vma
lock without taking mmap_lock at all, so write locking mmap_lock would
not stop them. The change ensures vmas are properly locked during such
walks.
A sample issue this solves is do_mbind() performing queue_pages_range()
to queue pages for migration. Without this change a concurrent page
can be faulted into the area and be left out of migration.

kmem.limit_in_bytes (v1 way to limit kernel memory usage) has been
deprecated since 58056f7750 ("memcg, kmem: further deprecate
kmem.limit_in_bytes") merged in 5.16. We haven't heard about any serious
users since then but it seems that the mere presence of the file is
causing more harm thatn good. We (SUSE) have had several bug reports from
customers where Docker based containers started to fail because a write to
kmem.limit_in_bytes has failed.
This was unexpected because runc code only expects ENOENT (kmem disabled)
or EBUSY (tasks already running within cgroup). So a new error code was
unexpected and the whole container startup failed. This has been later
addressed by
52390d6804
so current Docker runtimes do not suffer from the problem anymore. There
are still older version of Docker in use and likely hard to get rid of
completely.
Address this by wiping out the file completely and effectively get back to
pre 4.5 era and CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=n configuration.
I would recommend backporting to stable trees which have picked up
58056f7750 ("memcg, kmem: further deprecate kmem.limit_in_bytes").

Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use
ptep_get() helper. This means that by default, the accesses change from a
C dereference to a READ_ONCE(). This is technically the correct thing to
do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are
volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics.
But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by
the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte. Arch code
is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best. It is
intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own
implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or
determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source.
Conversion was done using Coccinelle:
----
// $ make coccicheck \
// COCCI=ptepget.cocci \
// SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \
// MODE=patch
virtual patch
@ depends on patch @
pte_t *v;
@@
- *v
+ ptep_get(v)
----
Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to
ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a
variable, where it is correct to do so. This aims to negate any cost of
READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex.
Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that
was pointed out by kernel test robot. The issue arose because config
MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including
ptep_get(). HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple
huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep.
So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because
ptep_get() is not defined. Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference
when MMU=n. This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be
trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are
defined.

This patch is similar to commit 8e20d4b332 ("mm/memcontrol: export
memcg->watermark via sysfs for v2 memcg"), but exports the swap counter's
watermark.
We allocate jobs to our compute farm using heuristics determined by memory
and swap usage from previous jobs. Tracking the peak swap usage for new
jobs is important for determining when jobs are exceeding their expected
bounds, or when our baseline metrics are getting outdated.
Our toolset was written to use the "memory.memsw.max_usage_in_bytes" file
in cgroups v1, and altering it to poll cgroups v2's "memory.swap.current"
would give less accurate results as well as add complication to the code.
Having this watermark exposed in sysfs is much preferred.

Before commit 29ef680ae7 ("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the
charge path"), all memcg oom killers were delayed to page fault path. And
the explicit wakeup is used in this case:
thread A:
...
if (locked) { // complete oom-kill, hold the lock
mem_cgroup_oom_unlock(memcg);
...
}
...
thread B:
...
if (locked && !memcg->oom_kill_disable) {
...
} else {
schedule(); // can't acquire the lock
...
}
...
The reason is that thread A kicks off the OOM-killer, which leads to
wakeups from the uncharges of the exiting task. But thread B is not
guaranteed to see them if it enters the OOM path after the OOM kills but
before thread A releases the lock.
Now only oom_kill_disable case is handled from the #PF path. In that case
it is userspace to trigger the wake up not the #PF path itself. All
potential paths to free some charges are responsible to call
memcg_oom_recover() , so the explicit wakeup is not needed in the
mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize() path which doesn't release any memory itself.

Currently, we approximate the root usage by adding the memcg stats for
anon, file, and conditionally swap (for memsw). To read the memcg stats
we need to invoke an rstat flush. rstat flushes can be expensive, they
scale with the number of cpus and cgroups on the system.
mem_cgroup_usage() is called by memcg_events()->mem_cgroup_threshold()
with irqs disabled, so such an expensive operation with irqs disabled can
cause problems.
Instead, approximate the root usage from global state. This is not 100%
accurate, but the root usage has always been ill-defined anyway.

Patch series "memcg: OOM log improvements", v2.
This short patch series brings back some cgroup v1 stats in OOM logs
that were unnecessarily changed before. It also makes memcg OOM logs
less reliant on printk() internals.
This patch (of 2):
Commit c8713d0b23 ("mm: memcontrol: dump memory.stat during cgroup OOM")
made sure we dump all the stats in memory.stat during a cgroup OOM, but it
also introduced a slight behavioral change. The code used to print the
non-hierarchical v1 cgroup stats for the entire cgroup subtree, now it
only prints the v2 cgroup stats for the cgroup under OOM.
For cgroup v1 users, this introduces a few problems:
(a) The non-hierarchical stats of the memcg under OOM are no longer
shown.
(b) A couple of v1-only stats (e.g. pgpgin, pgpgout) are no longer
shown.
(c) We show the list of cgroup v2 stats, even in cgroup v1. This list
of stats is not tracked with v1 in mind. While most of the stats seem
to be working on v1, there may be some stats that are not fully or
correctly tracked.
Although OOM log is not set in stone, we should not change it for no
reason. When upgrading the kernel version to a version including commit
c8713d0b23 ("mm: memcontrol: dump memory.stat during cgroup OOM"), these
behavioral changes are noticed in cgroup v1.
The fix is simple. Commit c8713d0b23 ("mm: memcontrol: dump memory.stat
during cgroup OOM") separated stats formatting from stats display for v2,
to reuse the stats formatting in the OOM logs. Do the same for v1.
Move the v2 specific formatting from memory_stat_format() to
memcg_stat_format(), add memcg1_stat_format() for v1, and make
memory_stat_format() select between them based on cgroup version. Since
memory_stat_show() now works for both v1 & v2, drop memcg_stat_show().

Currently, we format all the memcg stats into a buffer in
mem_cgroup_print_oom_meminfo() and use pr_info() to dump it to the logs.
However, this buffer is large in size. Although it is currently working
as intended, ther is a dependency between the memcg stats buffer and the
printk record size limit.
If we add more stats in the future and the buffer becomes larger than the
printk record size limit, or if the prink record size limit is reduced,
the logs may be truncated.
It is safer to use seq_buf_do_printk(), which will automatically break up
the buffer at line breaks and issue small printk() calls.
Refactor the code to move the seq_buf from memory_stat_format() to its
callers, and use seq_buf_do_printk() to print the seq_buf in
mem_cgroup_print_oom_meminfo().

A memcg pointer in the percpu stock can be accessed by drain_all_stock()
from another cpu in a lockless way. In theory it might lead to an issue,
similar to the one which has been discovered with stock->cached_objcg,
where the pointer was zeroed between the check for being NULL and
dereferencing. In this case the issue is unlikely a real problem, but to
make it bulletproof and similar to stock->cached_objcg, let's annotate all
accesses to stock->cached with READ_ONCE()/WTRITE_ONCE().

In a kernel with added WARN_ON_ONCE(PageTail) in page_memcg_check(), we
observed a warning from page_cgroup_ino() when reading /proc/kpagecgroup.
This warning was added to catch fragile reads of a page memcg. Make
page_cgroup_ino() get memcg from the page's folio using
folio_memcg_check(): that gives it the correct memcg for each page of a
folio, so is the right fix.
Note that page_folio() is racy, the page's folio can change from under us,
but the entire function is racy and documented as such.
I dithered between the right fix and the safer "fix": it's unlikely but
conceivable that some userspace has learnt that /proc/kpagecgroup gives no
memcg on tail pages, and compensates for that in some (racy) way: so
continuing to give no memcg on tails, without warning, might be safer.
But hwpoison_filter_task(), the only other user of page_cgroup_ino(),
persuaded me. It looks as if it currently leaves out tail pages of the
selected memcg, by mistake: whereas hwpoison_inject() uses compound_head()
and expects the tails to be included. So hwpoison testing coverage has
probably been restricted by the wrong output from page_cgroup_ino() (if
that memcg filter is used at all): in the short term, it might be safer
not to enable wider coverage there, but long term we would regret that.
This is based on a patch originally written by Hugh Dickins and retains
most of the original commit log [1]
The patch was changed to use folio_memcg_check(page_folio(page)) instead
of page_memcg_check(compound_head(page)) based on discussions with Matthew
Wilcox; where he stated that callers of page_memcg_check() should stop
using it due to the ambiguity around tail pages -- instead they should use
folio_memcg_check() and handle tail pages themselves.

cgroups v1 has a unique way of setting up memory pressure notifications:
the user opens "memory.pressure_level" of the cgroup they want to monitor
for pressure, then open "cgroup.event_control" and write the fd (among
other things) to that file. memory.pressure_level has no other use,
specifically it does not support any read or write operations.
Consequently, no handlers are provided, and cgroup_file_mode() sets the
permissions to 000. However, to actually use the mechanism, the
subscribing user must have read access to the file and open the fd for
reading, see memcg_write_event_control().
This is all fine as long as the subscribing process runs as root and is
otherwise unconfined by further restrictions. However, if you add strict
access controls such as selinux, the permission bits will be enforced, and
opening memory.pressure_level for reading will fail, preventing the
process from subscribing, even as root.
To work around this issue, introduce a dummy read handler. When
memory.pressure_level is created, cgroup_file_mode() will notice the
existence of a handler, and therefore add read permissions to the file.

In some situations, we may end up calling memcg_rstat_updated() with a
value of 0, which means the stat was not actually updated. An example is
if we fail to reclaim any pages in shrink_folio_list().
Do not add the cgroup to the rstat updated tree in this case, to avoid
unnecessarily flushing it.

In workingset_refault(), we call
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited() to read accurate stats within
an RCU read section and with sleeping disallowed. Move the call above the
RCU read section to make it non-atomic.
Flushing is an expensive operation that scales with the number of cpus and
the number of cgroups in the system, so avoid doing it atomically where
possible.
Since workingset_refault() is the only caller of
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited(), just make it non-atomic, and
rename it to mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited().

Currently, all contexts that flush memcg stats do so with sleeping not
allowed. Some of these contexts are perfectly safe to sleep in, such as
reading cgroup files from userspace or the background periodic flusher.
Flushing is an expensive operation that scales with the number of cpus and
the number of cgroups in the system, so avoid doing it atomically where
possible.
Refactor the code to make mem_cgroup_flush_stats() non-atomic (aka
sleepable), and provide a separate atomic version. The atomic version is
used in reclaim, refault, writeback, and in mem_cgroup_usage(). All other
code paths are left to use the non-atomic version. This includes
callbacks for userspace reads and the periodic flusher.
Since refault is the only caller of mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited(),
change it to mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited(). Reclaim and
refault code paths are modified to do non-atomic flushing in separate
later patches -- so it will eventually be changed back to
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited().

As Johannes notes in [1], stats_flush_lock is currently used to:
(a) Protect updated to stats_flush_threshold.
(b) Protect updates to flush_next_time.
(c) Serializes calls to cgroup_rstat_flush() based on those ratelimits.
However:
1. stats_flush_threshold is already an atomic
2. flush_next_time is not atomic. The writer is locked, but the reader
is lockless. If the reader races with a flush, you could see this:
if (time_after(jiffies, flush_next_time))
spin_trylock()
flush_next_time = now + delay
flush()
spin_unlock()
spin_trylock()
flush_next_time = now + delay
flush()
spin_unlock()
which means we already can get flushes at a higher frequency than
FLUSH_TIME during races. But it isn't really a problem.
The reader could also see garbled partial updates if the compiler
decides to split the write, so it needs at least READ_ONCE and
WRITE_ONCE protection.
3. Serializing cgroup_rstat_flush() calls against the ratelimit
factors is currently broken because of the race in 2. But the race
is actually harmless, all we might get is the occasional earlier
flush. If there is no delta, the flush won't do much. And if there
is, the flush is justified.
So the lock can be removed all together. However, the lock also served
the purpose of preventing a thundering herd problem for concurrent
flushers, see [2]. Use an atomic instead to serve the purpose of
unifying concurrent flushers.

Currently, the only context in which we can invoke an rstat flush from irq
context is through mem_cgroup_usage() on the root memcg when called from
memcg_check_events(). An rstat flush is an expensive operation that
should not be done in irq context, so do not flush stats and use the stale
stats in this case.
Arguably, usage threshold events are not reliable on the root memcg anyway
since its usage is ill-defined.

mem_cgroup_flush_stats_delayed() suggests his is using a delayed_work, but
this is actually sometimes flushing directly from the callsite.
What it's doing is ratelimited calls. A better name would be
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited().

Patch series "memcg: avoid flushing stats atomically where possible", v3.
rstat flushing is an expensive operation that scales with the number of
cpus and the number of cgroups in the system. The purpose of this series
is to minimize the contexts where we flush stats atomically.
Patches 1 and 2 are cleanups requested during reviews of prior versions of
this series.
Patch 3 makes sure we never try to flush from within an irq context.
Patches 4 to 7 introduce separate variants of mem_cgroup_flush_stats() for
atomic and non-atomic flushing, and make sure we only flush the stats
atomically when necessary.
Patch 8 is a slightly tangential optimization that limits the work done by
rstat flushing in some scenarios.
This patch (of 8):
cgroup_rstat_flush_irqsafe() can be a confusing name. It may read as
"irqs are disabled throughout", which is what the current implementation
does (currently under discussion [1]), but is not the intention. The
intention is that this function is safe to call from atomic contexts.
Name it as such.

Leonardo Bras has noticed that pcp charge cache draining might be
disruptive on workloads relying on 'isolated cpus', a feature commonly
used on workloads that are sensitive to interruption and context switching
such as vRAN and Industrial Control Systems.
There are essentially two ways how to approach the issue. We can either
allow the pcp cache to be drained on a different rather than a local cpu
or avoid remote flushing on isolated cpus.
The current pcp charge cache is really optimized for high performance and
it always relies to stick with its cpu. That means it only requires
local_lock (preempt_disable on !RT) and draining is handed over to pcp WQ
to drain locally again.
The former solution (remote draining) would require to add an additional
locking to prevent local charges from racing with the draining. This adds
an atomic operation to otherwise simple arithmetic fast path in the
try_charge path. Another concern is that the remote draining can cause a
lock contention for the isolated workloads and therefore interfere with it
indirectly via user space interfaces.
Another option is to avoid draining scheduling on isolated cpus
altogether. That means that those remote cpus would keep their charges
even after drain_all_stock returns. This is certainly not optimal either
but it shouldn't really cause any major problems. In the worst case (many
isolated cpus with charges - each of them with MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH i.e 64
page) the memory consumption of a memcg would be artificially higher than
can be immediately used from other cpus.
Theoretically a memcg OOM killer could be triggered pre-maturely.
Currently it is not really clear whether this is a practical problem
though. Tight memcg limit would be really counter productive to cpu
isolated workloads pretty much by definition because any memory reclaimed
induced by memcg limit could break user space timing expectations as those
usually expect execution in the userspace most of the time.
Also charges could be left behind on memcg removal. Any future charge on
those isolated cpus will drain that pcp cache so this won't be a permanent
leak.
Considering cons and pros of both approaches this patch is implementing
the second option and simply do not schedule remote draining if the target
cpu is isolated. This solution is much more simpler. It doesn't add any
new locking and it is more more predictable from the user space POV.
Should the pre-mature memcg OOM become a real life problem, we can revisit
this decision.

Instead of returning NULL for all errors, distinguish between:
- no entry found and not asked to allocated (-ENOENT)
- failed to allocate memory (-ENOMEM)
- would block (-EAGAIN)
so that callers don't have to guess the error based on the passed in
flags.
Also pass through the error through the direct callers: filemap_get_folio,
filemap_lock_folio filemap_grab_folio and filemap_get_incore_folio.

Patch series "mm, memcg: cgroup v1 and v2 tunable load/store tearing
fixes", v2.
This patch series helps to prevent load/store tearing in
several cgroup knobs.
As kindly pointed out by Michal Hocko and Roman Gushchin
, the changelog has been rephrased.
Besides, more knobs were checked, according to kind suggestions
from Shakeel Butt and Muchun Song.
This patch (of 4):
The knob for cgroup v2 memory controller: memory.oom.group
is not protected by any locking so it can be modified while it is used.
This is not an actual problem because races are unlikely (the knob is
usually configured long before any workloads hits actual memcg oom)
but it is better to use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE to prevent compiler from
doing anything funky.
The access of memcg->oom_group is lockless, so it can be
concurrently set at the same time as we are trying to read it.
