bf4f059954 mm: memcg/slab: obj_cgroup API 
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.

eedc4e5a14 mm: memcg: factor out memcg- and lruvec-level changes out of __mod_lruvec_state() 
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.

7cf111bc39 mm: vmscan: determine anon/file pressure balance at the reclaim root 
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.

eccb52e788 mm: memcontrol: prepare swap controller setup for integration 
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

be5d0a74c6 mm: memcontrol: switch to native NR_ANON_MAPPED counter 
Memcg maintains a private MEMCG_RSS counter.  This divergence from the
generic VM accounting means unnecessary code overhead, and creates a
dependency for memcg that page->mapping is set up at the time of charging,
so that page types can be told apart.

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
rmap callbacks around.

3fea5a499d mm: memcontrol: convert page cache to a new mem_cgroup_charge() API 
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.

3fba69a56e mm: memcontrol: drop @compound parameter from memcg charging API 
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.

4b82ab4f28 mm/memcg: automatically penalize tasks with high swap use 
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.

04fd61a4e0 mm, memcg: fix inconsistent oom event behavior 
A recent commit 9852ae3fe5 ("mm, memcg: consider subtrees in
memory.events") changed the behavior of memcg events, which will now
consider subtrees in memory.events.

But oom_kill event is a special one as it is used in both cgroup1 and
cgroup2.  In cgroup1, it is displayed in memory.oom_control.  The file
memory.oom_control is in both root memcg and non root memcg, that is
different with memory.event as it only in non-root memcg.  That commit
is okay for cgroup2, but it is not okay for cgroup1 as it will cause
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.

307ed94c37 memcontrol.h: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member 
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.

10eaec2f63 mm: kmem: cleanup (__)memcg_kmem_charge_memcg() arguments 
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().

8380ce4790 mm: fork: fix kernel_stack memcg stats for various stack implementations 
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 .

Note: This is a special version of the patch created for stable
backports.  It contains code from the following two patches:
  - mm: memcg/slab: introduce mem_cgroup_from_obj()
  - mm: fork: fix kernel_stack memcg stats for various stack implementations

b910718a94 mm: vmscan: detect file thrashing at the reclaim root 
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.

1b05117df7 mm: vmscan: harmonize writeback congestion tracking for nodes & memcgs 
The current writeback congestion tracking has separate flags for kswapd
reclaim (node level) and cgroup limit reclaim (memcg-node level).  This is
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.

867e5e1de1 mm: clean up and clarify lruvec lookup procedure 
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.

fa40d1ee9f mm: vmscan: memcontrol: remove mem_cgroup_select_victim_node() 
Since commit 1ba6fc9af3 ("mm: vmscan: do not share cgroup iteration

on sc->nr_reclaimed and will traverse all the nodes.  All the
reclaimable pages of the memcg on all the nodes will be scanned relative
to the reclaim priority.  So, there is no need to maintain state
regarding which node to start the memcg reclaim from.

This patch effectively reverts the commit 889976dbcb ("memcg: reclaim
memory from nodes in round-robin order") and commit 453a9bf347
("memcg: fix numa scan information update to be triggered by memory

1bc63fb127 mm, memcg: make scan aggression always exclude protection 
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.

9de7ca46ad mm, memcg: make memory.emin the baseline for utilisation determination 
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.

Rebase on top of and apply the same idea as what was applied to handle
cgroup_memory=disable properly for the original proportional patch
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190201045711.GA18302@chrisdown.name ("mm,
memcg: Handle cgroup_disable=memory when getting memcg protection").

9783aa9917 mm, memcg: proportional memory.{low,min} reclaim 
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%          |
   |          0 |            3799 |               3980 | 95%          |
   +------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+

   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.

08d1d0e6d0 memcg: only record foreign writebacks with dirty pages when memcg is not disabled 
In kdump kernel, memcg usually is disabled with 'cgroup_disable=memory'
for saving memory.  Now kdump kernel will always panic when dump vmcore
to local disk:

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.

87eaceb3fa mm: thp: make deferred split shrinker memcg aware 
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.

0a432dcbeb mm: shrinker: make shrinker not depend on memcg kmem 
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.

97b27821b4 writeback, memcg: Implement foreign dirty flushing 
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.

A reproducer follows.

ec9f02384f mm: workingset: fix vmstat counters for shadow nodes 
Memcg counters for shadow nodes are broken because the memcg pointer is

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").

6ba749ee78 mm, oom: remove redundant task_in_mem_cgroup() check 
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.

1e577f970f mm, memcg: introduce memory.events.local 
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.

815744d751 mm: memcontrol: don't batch updates of local VM stats and events 
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.

9852ae3fe5 mm, memcg: consider subtrees in memory.events 
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.

42a3003535 mm: memcontrol: fix recursive statistics correctness & scalabilty 
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%.

205b20cc5a mm: memcontrol: make cgroup stats and events query API explicitly local 
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.

871789d4af mm, memcg: rename ambiguously named memory.stat counters and functions 
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.

0b3d6e6f2d mm: writeback: use exact memcg dirty counts 
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

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.

There are a bunch of places we go from seq_file to mem_cgroup, which

from the css.  It's in enough places now that having mem_cgroup_from_seq

60cd4bcd62 memcg: localize memcg_kmem_enabled() check 
Move the memcg_kmem_enabled() checks into memcg kmem charge/uncharge
functions, so, the users don't have to explicitly check that condition.

This is purely code cleanup patch without any functional change.  Only
the order of checks in memcg_charge_slab() can potentially be changed
but the functionally it will be same.  This should not matter as
memcg_charge_slab() is not in the hot path.

f0c867d958 mm, oom: add oom victim's memcg to the oom context information 
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:

oom-kill:constraint=<constraint>,nodemask=<nodemask>,cpuset=<cpuset>,mems_allowed=<mems_allowed>,global_oom,task_memcg=<memcg>,task=<comm>,pid=<pid>,uid=<uid>

- memcg oom context information:

oom-kill:constraint=<constraint>,nodemask=<nodemask>,cpuset=<cpuset>,mems_allowed=<mems_allowed>,oom_memcg=<memcg>,task_memcg=<memcg>,task=<comm>,pid=<pid>,uid=<uid>

overflow instead of currently existing VM_BUG_ON().  The only difference
after the patch is VM_BUG_ON() may cause BUG(), while refcount_t fires
with WARN().  But this seems not to be significant here, since such the
problems are usually caught by syzbot with panic-on-warn enabled.

9b6f7e163c mm: rework memcg kernel stack accounting 
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.

3d8b38eb81 mm, oom: introduce memory.oom.group 
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.

0a4465d340 mm, memcg: assign memcg-aware shrinkers bitmap to memcg 
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.

29ef680ae7 memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the charge path 
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.

f745c6f5fe fs, mm: account buffer_head to kmemcg 
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.

d46eb14b73 fs: fsnotify: account fsnotify metadata to kmemcg 
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.

2cf855837b memcontrol: schedule throttling if we are congested 
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.

fe6bdfc8e1 mm: fix oom_kill event handling 
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.

e81bf9793b mem_cgroup: make sure moving_account, move_lock_task and stat_cpu in the same cacheline 
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 {

: +	atomic_long_t memory_events[MEMCG_NR_MEMORY_EVENTS];
:
:  	unsigned long		socket_pressure;

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.

bf8d5d52ff memcg: introduce memory.min 
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.

230671533d mm: memory.low hierarchical behavior 
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
  A/E:  0

bbec2e1517 mm: rename page_counter's count/limit into usage/max 
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.

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.

e27be240df mm: memcg: make sure memory.events is uptodate when waking pollers 
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.

e3c1ac586c mm/vmscan: don't mess with pgdat->flags in memcg reclaim 
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

c3cc39118c mm: memcontrol: fix NR_WRITEBACK leak in memcg and system stats 
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.

a983b5ebee mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in memory.stat reporting 
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 implementation of the lruvec stat functions and their variants for
accounting through a page, or accounting from a preemptible context, are
mostly identical and needlessly repetitive.

Implement the lruvec_page functions by looking up the page's lruvec and
then using the lruvec function.

Implement the functions for preemptible contexts by disabling preemption
before calling the atomic context functions.

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.

2a2e48854d mm: vmscan: fix IO/refault regression in cache workingset transition 
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.

9a4caf1e9f mm: memcontrol: provide shmem statistics 
Cgroups currently don't report how much shmem they use, which can be
useful data to have, in particular since shmem is included in the
cache/file item while being reclaimed like anonymous memory.

Add a counter to track shmem pages during charging and uncharging.

17cc4dfeda slab: use memcg_kmem_cache_wq for slab destruction operations 
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.

bc2791f857 slab: link memcg kmem_caches on their associated memory cgroup 
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.

7c5f64f844 mm: oom: deduplicate victim selection code for memcg and global oom 
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.
