Currently we have two ways how to drain per-CPU caches for charges.
drain_all_stock_sync will synchronously drain all caches while
drain_all_stock_async will asynchronously drain only those that refer to
a given memory cgroup or its subtree in hierarchy. Targeted async
draining has been introduced by 26fe6168 (memcg: fix percpu cached
charge draining frequency) to reduce the cpu workers number.
sync draining is currently triggered only from mem_cgroup_force_empty
which is triggered only by userspace (mem_cgroup_force_empty_write) or
when a cgroup is removed (mem_cgroup_pre_destroy). Although these are
not usually frequent operations it still makes some sense to do targeted
draining as well, especially if the box has many CPUs.
This patch unifies both methods to use the single code (drain_all_stock)
which relies on the original async implementation and just adds
flush_work to wait on all caches that are still under work for the sync
mode. We are using FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE bit check to prevent from
waiting on a work that we haven't triggered. Please note that both sync
and async functions are currently protected by percpu_charge_mutex so we
cannot race with other drainers.

drain_all_stock_async tries to optimize a work to be done on the work
queue by excluding any work for the current CPU because it assumes that
the context we are called from already tried to charge from that cache
and it's failed so it must be empty already.
While the assumption is correct we can optimize it even more by checking
the current number of pages in the cache. This will also reduce a work
on other CPUs with an empty stock.
For the current CPU we can simply call drain_local_stock rather than
deferring it to the work queue.

The commit log of 0ae5e89c60 ("memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim
in...") says it adds scanning stats to memory.stat file. But it doesn't
because we considered we needed to make a concensus for such new APIs.
This patch is a trial to add memory.scan_stat. This shows
- the number of scanned pages(total, anon, file)
- the number of rotated pages(total, anon, file)
- the number of freed pages(total, anon, file)
- the number of elaplsed time (including sleep/pause time)
for both of direct/soft reclaim.
The biggest difference with oringinal Ying's one is that this file
can be reset by some write, as
# echo 0 ...../memory.scan_stat
Example of output is here. This is a result after make -j 6 kernel
under 300M limit.

total_xxxx is for hierarchy management.
This will be useful for further memcg developments and need to be
developped before we do some complicated rework on LRU/softlimit
management.
This patch adds a new struct memcg_scanrecord into scan_control struct.
sc->nr_scanned at el is not designed for exporting information. For
example, nr_scanned is reset frequentrly and incremented +2 at scanning
mapped pages.
To avoid complexity, I added a new param in scan_control which is for
exporting scanning score.

Commit 22a668d7c3 ("memcg: fix behavior under memory.limit equals to
memsw.limit") introduced "memsw_is_minimum" flag, which becomes true
when mem_limit == memsw_limit. The flag is checked at the beginning of
reclaim, and "noswap" is set if the flag is true, because using swap is
meaningless in this case.
This works well in most cases, but when we try to shrink mem_limit,
which is the same as memsw_limit now, we might fail to shrink mem_limit
because swap doesn't used.
This patch fixes this behavior by:
- check MEM_CGROUP_RECLAIM_SHRINK at the begining of reclaim
- If it is set, don't set "noswap" flag even if memsw_is_minimum is true.

memcg_oom_mutex is used to protect memcg OOM path and eventfd interface
for oom_control. None of the critical sections which it protects sleep
(eventfd_signal works from atomic context and the rest are simple linked
list resp. oom_lock atomic operations).
Mutex is also too heavyweight for those code paths because it triggers a
lot of scheduling. It also makes makes convoying effects more visible
when we have a big number of oom killing because we take the lock
mutliple times during mem_cgroup_handle_oom so we have multiple places
where many processes can sleep.

Commit 867578cb ("memcg: fix oom kill behavior") introduced a oom_lock
counter which is incremented by mem_cgroup_oom_lock when we are about to
handle memcg OOM situation. mem_cgroup_handle_oom falls back to a sleep
if oom_lock > 1 to prevent from multiple oom kills at the same time.
The counter is then decremented by mem_cgroup_oom_unlock called from the
same function.
This works correctly but it can lead to serious starvations when we have
many processes triggering OOM and many CPUs available for them (I have
tested with 16 CPUs).
Consider a process (call it A) which gets the oom_lock (the first one
that got to mem_cgroup_handle_oom and grabbed memcg_oom_mutex) and other
processes that are blocked on the mutex. While A releases the mutex and
calls mem_cgroup_out_of_memory others will wake up (one after another)
and increase the counter and fall into sleep (memcg_oom_waitq).
Once A finishes mem_cgroup_out_of_memory it takes the mutex again and
decreases oom_lock and wakes other tasks (if releasing memory by
somebody else - e.g. killed process - hasn't done it yet).
A testcase would look like:
Assume malloc XXX is a program allocating XXX Megabytes of memory
which touches all allocated pages in a tight loop
# swapoff SWAP_DEVICE
# cgcreate -g memory:A
# cgset -r memory.oom_control=0 A
# cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes= 200M
# for i in `seq 100`
# do
# cgexec -g memory:A malloc 10 &
# done
The main problem here is that all processes still race for the mutex and
there is no guarantee that we will get counter back to 0 for those that
got back to mem_cgroup_handle_oom. In the end the whole convoy
in/decreases the counter but we do not get to 1 that would enable
killing so nothing useful can be done. The time is basically unbounded
because it highly depends on scheduling and ordering on mutex (I have
seen this taking hours...).
This patch replaces the counter by a simple {un}lock semantic. As
mem_cgroup_oom_{un}lock works on the a subtree of a hierarchy we have to
make sure that nobody else races with us which is guaranteed by the
memcg_oom_mutex.
We have to be careful while locking subtrees because we can encounter a
subtree which is already locked: hierarchy:
A
/ \
B \
/\ \
C D E
B - C - D tree might be already locked. While we want to enable locking
E subtree because OOM situations cannot influence each other we
definitely do not want to allow locking A.
Therefore we have to refuse lock if any subtree is already locked and
clear up the lock for all nodes that have been set up to the failure
point.
On the other hand we have to make sure that the rest of the world will
recognize that a group is under OOM even though it doesn't have a lock.
Therefore we have to introduce under_oom variable which is incremented
and decremented for the whole subtree when we enter resp. leave
mem_cgroup_handle_oom. under_oom, unlike oom_lock, doesn't need be
updated under memcg_oom_mutex because its users only check a single
group and they use atomic operations for that.
This can be checked easily by the following test case:
# cgcreate -g memory:A
# cgset -r memory.use_hierarchy=1 A
# cgset -r memory.oom_control=1 A
# cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes= 100M
# cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes= 100M
# cgcreate -g memory:A/B
# cgset -r memory.oom_control=1 A/B
# cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes=20M
# cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes=20M
# cgexec -g memory:A/B malloc 30 & #->this will be blocked by OOM of group B
# cgexec -g memory:A malloc 80 & #->this will be blocked by OOM of group A
While B gets oom_lock A will not get it. Both of them go into sleep and
wait for an external action. We can make the limit higher for A to
enforce waking it up
# cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes=300M A
# cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes=300M A
malloc in A has to wake up even though it doesn't have oom_lock.
Finally, the unlock path is very easy because we always unlock only the
subtree we have locked previously while we always decrement under_oom.

mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages
mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages
mem_cgroup_get_local_zonestat
Some of them are under #ifdef MAX_NUMNODES >1 and others are not.
This seems bad. This patch consolidates all functions into
mem_cgroup_zone_nr_lru_pages()
mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages()
mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages()
For these functions, "which LRU?" information is passed by a mask.
example:
mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages(mem, BIT(LRU_ACTIVE_ANON))
And I added some macro as ALL_LRU, ALL_LRU_FILE, ALL_LRU_ANON.
example:
mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages(mem, ALL_LRU)
BTW, considering layout of NUMA memory placement of counters, this patch seems
to be better.
Now, when we gather all LRU information, we scan in following orer
for_each_lru -> for_each_node -> for_each_zone.
This means we'll touch cache lines in different node in turn.
After patch, we'll scan
for_each_node -> for_each_zone -> for_each_lru(mask)
Then, we'll gather information in the same cacheline at once.

Each memory cgroup has a 'swappiness' value which can be accessed by
get_swappiness(memcg). The major user is try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages()
and swappiness is passed by argument. It's propagated by scan_control.
get_swappiness() is a static function but some planned updates will need
to get swappiness from files other than memcontrol.c This patch exports
get_swappiness() as mem_cgroup_swappiness(). With this, we can remove the
argument of swapiness from try_to_free... and drop swappiness from

Now, in mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim(), mem_cgroup_local_usage() is
used for checking whether the memcg contains reclaimable pages or not. If
no pages in it, the routine skips it.
But, mem_cgroup_local_usage() contains Unevictable pages and cannot handle
"noswap" condition correctly. This doesn't work on a swapless system.
This patch adds test_mem_cgroup_reclaimable() and replaces
mem_cgroup_local_usage(). test_mem_cgroup_reclaimable() see LRU counter
and returns correct answer to the caller. And this new function has
"noswap" argument and can see only FILE LRU if necessary.

done it makes no change.

For performance, memory cgroup caches some "charge" from res_counter into
per cpu cache. This works well but because it's cache, it needs to be
flushed in some cases. Typical cases are
1. when someone hit limit.
2. when rmdir() is called and need to charges to be 0.
But "1" has problem.
Recently, with large SMP machines, we see many kworker runs because of
flushing memcg's cache. Bad things in implementation are that even if a
cpu contains a cache for memcg not related to a memcg which hits limit,
drain code is called.
This patch does
A) check percpu cache contains a useful data or not.
B) check other asynchronous percpu draining doesn't run.
C) don't call local cpu callback.
(*)This patch avoid changing the calling condition with hard-limit.

Hierarchical reclaim doesn't swap out if memsw and resource limits are
thye same (memsw_is_minimum == true) because we would hit mem+swap limit
anyway (during hard limit reclaim).
If it comes to the soft limit we shouldn't consider memsw_is_minimum at
all because it doesn't make much sense. Either the soft limit is bellow
the hard limit and then we cannot hit mem+swap limit or the direct reclaim
takes a precedence.

Two new stats in per-memcg memory.stat which tracks the number of page
faults and number of major page faults.
"pgfault"
"pgmajfault"
They are different from "pgpgin"/"pgpgout" stat which count number of
pages charged/discharged to the cgroup and have no meaning of reading/
writing page to disk.
It is valuable to track the two stats for both measuring application's
performance as well as the efficiency of the kernel page reclaim path.
Counting pagefaults per process is useful, but we also need the aggregated
value since processes are monitored and controlled in cgroup basis in
memcg.
Functional test: check the total number of pgfault/pgmajfault of all
memcgs and compare with global vmstat value:
$ cat /proc/vmstat | grep fault
pgfault 1070751
pgmajfault 553
$ cat /dev/cgroup/memory.stat | grep fault
pgfault 1071138
pgmajfault 553

$ cat /dev/cgroup/A/memory.stat | grep fault

The new API exports numa_maps per-memcg basis. This is a piece of useful
information where it exports per-memcg page distribution across real numa
nodes.
One of the usecases is evaluating application performance by combining
this information w/ the cpu allocation to the application.
The output of the memory.numastat tries to follow w/ simiar format of
numa_maps like:
total=<total pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
file=<total file pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
anon=<total anon pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
unevictable=<total anon pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
And we have per-node:
total = file + anon + unevictable
$ cat /dev/cgroup/memory/memory.numa_stat
total=250020 N0=87620 N1=52367 N2=45298 N3=64735

If the memcg reclaim code detects the target memcg below its limit it
exits and returns a guaranteed non-zero value so that the charge is
retried.
Nowadays, the charge side checks the memcg limit itself and does not rely
on this non-zero return value trick.
This patch removes it. The reclaim code will now always return the true
number of pages it reclaimed on its own.

Presently, memory cgroup's direct reclaim frees memory from the current
node. But this has some troubles. Usually when a set of threads works in
a cooperative way, they tend to operate on the same node. So if they hit
limits under memcg they will reclaim memory from themselves, damaging the
active working set.
For example, assume 2 node system which has Node 0 and Node 1 and a memcg
which has 1G limit. After some work, file cache remains and the usages
are
Node 0: 1M
Node 1: 998M.
and run an application on Node 0, it will eat its foot before freeing
unnecessary file caches.
This patch adds round-robin for NUMA and adds equal pressure to each node.
When using cpuset's spread memory feature, this will work very well.
But yes, a better algorithm is needed.

The global kswapd scans per-zone LRU and reclaims pages regardless of the
cgroup. It breaks memory isolation since one cgroup can end up reclaiming
pages from another cgroup. Instead we should rely on memcg-aware target
reclaim including per-memcg kswapd and soft_limit hierarchical reclaim under
memory pressure.
In the global background reclaim, we do soft reclaim before scanning the
per-zone LRU. However, the return value is ignored. This patch is the first
step to skip shrink_zone() if soft_limit reclaim does enough work.
This is part of the effort which tries to reduce reclaiming pages in global
LRU in memcg. The per-memcg background reclaim patchset further enhances the
per-cgroup targetting reclaim, which I should have V4 posted shortly.
Try running multiple memory intensive workloads within seperate memcgs. Watch
the counters of soft_steal in memory.stat.
$ cat /dev/cgroup/A/memory.stat | grep 'soft'
soft_steal 240000
soft_scan 240000
total_soft_steal 240000
total_soft_scan 240000
This patch:
In the global background reclaim, we do soft reclaim before scanning the

We would like to skip shrink_zone() if soft_limit reclaim does enough
work. Also, we need to make the memory pressure balanced across per-memcg
zones, like the logic vm-core. This patch is the first step where we
start with counting the nr_scanned and nr_reclaimed from soft_limit
reclaim into the global scan_control.

Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts
Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks
for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these
are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when
attaching an entire threadgroup.
Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by
this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is
cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped
(though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to
attach_task and attach.
This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.

The noswapaccount parameter has been deprecated since 2.6.38 without any
complaints from users so we can remove it. swapaccount=0|1 can be used
instead.
As we are removing the parameter we can also clean up swapaccount because
it doesn't have to accept an empty string anymore (to match noswapaccount)
and so we can push = into __setup macro rather than checking "=1" resp.

fs/fuse/dev.c::fuse_try_move_page() does
(1) remove a page by ->steal()
(2) re-add the page to page cache
(3) link the page to LRU if it was not on LRU at (1)
This implies the page is _on_ LRU when it's added to radix-tree. So, the
page is added to memory cgroup while it's on LRU. because LRU is lazy and
no one flushs it.
This is the same behavior as SwapCache and needs special care as
- remove page from LRU before overwrite pc->mem_cgroup.
- add page to LRU after overwrite pc->mem_cgroup.
And we need to taking care of pagevec.
If PageLRU(page) is set before we add PCG_USED bit, the page will not be
added to memcg's LRU (in short period). So, regardlress of PageLRU(page)
value before commit_charge(), we need to check PageLRU(page) after
commit_charge().

The statistic counters are in units of pages, there is no reason to make
them 64-bit wide on 32-bit machines.
Make them native words. Since they are signed, this leaves 31 bit on
32-bit machines, which can represent roughly 8TB assuming a page size of
4k.

For increasing and decreasing per-cpu cgroup usage counters it makes sense
to use signed types, as single per-cpu values might go negative during
updates. But this is not the case for only-ever-increasing event
counters.
All the counters have been signed 64-bit so far, which was enough to count
events even with the sign bit wasted.
This patch:
- divides s64 counters into signed usage counters and unsigned
monotonically increasing event counters.
- converts unsigned event counters into 'unsigned long' rather than
'u64'. This matches the type used by the /proc/vmstat event counters.
The next patch narrows the signed usage counters type (on 32-bit CPUs,
that is).

The per-cgroup LRU lists string up 'struct page_cgroup's. To get from
those structures to the page they represent, a lookup is required.
Currently, the lookup is done through a direct pointer in struct
page_cgroup, so a lot of functions down the callchain do this lookup by
themselves instead of receiving the page pointer from their callers.
The next patch removes this pointer, however, and the lookup is no longer
that straight-forward. In preparation for that, this patch only leaves
the non-optional lookups when coming directly from the LRU list and passes
the page down the stack.

This patch series removes the direct page pointer from struct page_cgroup,
which saves 20% of per-page memcg memory overhead (Fedora and Ubuntu
enable memcg per default, openSUSE apparently too).
The node id or section number is encoded in the remaining free bits of
pc->flags which allows calculating the corresponding page without the
extra pointer.
I ran, what I think is, a worst-case microbenchmark that just cats a large
sparse file to /dev/null, because it means that walking the LRU list on
behalf of per-cgroup reclaim and looking up pages from page_cgroups is
happening constantly and at a high rate. But it made no measurable
difference. A profile reported a 0.11% share of the new
lookup_cgroup_page() function in this benchmark.
This patch:
All callsites check PCG_USED before passing pc->mem_cgroup, so the latter
is never NULL.

Since transparent huge pages, checking whether memory cgroups are below
their limits is no longer enough, but the actual amount of chargeable
space is important.
To not have more than one limit-checking interface, replace
memory_cgroup_check_under_limit() and memory_cgroup_check_margin() with a
single memory_cgroup_margin() that returns the chargeable space and leaves
the comparison to the callsite.
Soft limits are now checked the other way round, by using the already
existing function that returns the amount by which soft limits are
exceeded: res_counter_soft_limit_excess().
Also remove all the corresponding functions on the res_counter side that
are now no longer used.

on khugepaged to re-collapse it later. This is fairly suboptimal.
This patch changes that behavior. It teaches each ->pmd_entry handler
(there are five) that they must break down the THPs themselves. Also, the
_generic_ code will never break down a THP unless a ->pte_entry handler is
actually set.
This means that the ->pmd_entry handlers can now choose to deal with THPs
without breaking them down.

The rotate_reclaimable_page function moves just written out pages, which
the VM wanted to reclaim, to the end of the inactive list. That way the
VM will find those pages first next time it needs to free memory.
This patch applies the rule in memcg. It can help to prevent unnecessary
working page eviction of memcg.
