In order to be able to limit the amount of memory that is allocated
by IOMMU subsystem, the memory must be accounted.
Account IOMMU as part of the secondary pagetables as it was discussed
at LPC.
The value of SecPageTables now contains mmeory allocation by IOMMU
and KVM.
There is a difference between GFP_ACCOUNT and what NR_IOMMU_PAGES shows.
GFP_ACCOUNT is set only where it makes sense to charge to user
processes, i.e. IOMMU Page Tables, but there more IOMMU shared data
that should not really be charged to a specific process.

The limitation that all RT processes have to be in the root cgroup
before enabling cpu controller only applies if the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED
option is enabled in the running kernel. If a kernel does not have
CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED enabled, RT processes can exist in a non-root
cgroup even when cpu controller is enabled. CPU sharing of RT processes
will not be under cgroup control, but other resources like memory can be.
Clarify this limitation to avoid confusion to users that are using
cgroup v2.

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

The root-only cpuset.cpus.isolated control file shows the current set

exposed only with the cgroup_debug boot command line option which also
adds the ".__DEBUG__." prefix. This is actually a useful control file if
users want to find out which CPUs are currently in an isolated state by
the cpuset controller. Remove CFTYPE_DEBUG flag for this control file and
make it available by default without any prefix.
The test_cpuset_prs.sh test script and the cgroup-v2.rst documentation
file are also updated accordingly. Minor code change is also made in

To make CPUs in isolated cpuset partition closer in isolation to
the boot time isolated CPUs specified in the "isolcpus" boot command
line option, we need to take those CPUs out of the workqueue unbound
cpumask so that work functions from the unbound workqueues won't run
on those CPUs. Otherwise, they will interfere the user tasks running
on those isolated CPUs.
With the introduction of the workqueue_unbound_exclude_cpumask() helper
function in an earlier commit, those isolated CPUs can now be taken
out from the workqueue unbound cpumask.
This patch also updates cgroup-v2.rst to mention that isolated
CPUs will be excluded from unbound workqueue cpumask as well as
updating test_cpuset_prs.sh to verify the correctness of the new
*cpuset.cpus.isolated file, if available via cgroup_debug option.

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

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

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- Whenever cpuset needs to rebuild sched_domain, it walked all tasks
looking for DEADLINE tasks as they need to be accounted on the new
domain. Walking all tasks can be expensive and there may not be any
DEADLINE tasks at all. Task iteration is now omitted if there are no
DEADLINE tasks
- Fixes DEADLINE bandwidth misaccounting after task migration failures
- When no controller is enabled, -Wstringop-overflow warning is
triggered. The fix patch added an early exit which is too eager and
got reverted for now. Will fix later
- Everything else is minor cleanups

Hello,
This patch is to expose misc.current on cgroup v2 root for tracking
how much of the resource has been consumed in total on the system.
Most of the cloud infrastucture use cgroup to fetch the host
information for scheduling purpose.
Currently, the misc controller can be used by Intel TDX HKIDs and
AMD SEV ASIDs, which are both used for creating encrypted VMs.
Intel TDX and AMD SEV are mostly be used by the cloud providers
for providing confidential VMs.
In actual use of a server, these confidential VMs may be launched
in different ways. For the cloud solution, there are kubvirt and
coco (tracked by kubepods.slice); on host, they can be booted
directly through qemu by end user (tracked by user.slice), etc.
In this complex environment, when wanting to know how many resource
is used in total it has to iterate through all existing slices to
get the value of each misc.current and add them up to calculate
the total number of consumed keys.
So exposing misc.current to root cgroup tends to give much easier
when calculates how much resource has been used in total, which
helps to schedule and count resources for the cloud infrastucture.

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

Since commit a78418e6a0 ("block: Always initialize bio IO priority on
submit"), bio->bi_ioprio will never be IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE when calling
blkcg_set_ioprio(), so there will be no way to promote the io-priority
of one cgroup to IOPRIO_CLASS_RT, because bi_ioprio will always be
greater than or equals to IOPRIO_CLASS_RT.
It seems possible to call blkcg_set_ioprio() first then try to
initialize bi_ioprio later in bio_set_ioprio(), but this doesn't work
for bio in which bi_ioprio is already initialized (e.g., direct-io), so
introduce a new promote-to-rt policy to promote the iopriority of bio to
IOPRIO_CLASS_RT if the ioprio is not already RT.
For none-to-rt policy, although it doesn't work now, but considering
that its purpose was also to override the io-priority to RT and allowing
for a smoother transition, just keep it and treat it as an alias of
the promote-to-rt policy.

The existing documentation refers to memory.high as the "main mechanism
to control memory usage." This seems incorrect to me - memory.high can
result in reclaim pressure which simply leads to stalls unless some
external component observes and actions on it (e.g. systemd-oomd can be
used for this purpose). While this is feasible, users are unaware of
this interaction and are led to believe that memory.high alone is an
effective mechanism for limiting memory.
The documentation should recommend the use of memory.max as the
effective way to enforce memory limits - it triggers reclaim and results
in OOM kills by itself.

This reverts commit 12a5d39552.
Although it is recognized that a finer grained pro-active reclaim is
something we need and want the semantic of this implementation is really
ambiguous.
In a follow up discussion it became clear that there are two essential
usecases here. One is to use memory.reclaim to pro-actively reclaim
memory and expectation is that the requested and reported amount of memory
is uncharged from the memcg. Another usecase focuses on pro-active
demotion when the memory is merely shuffled around to demotion targets
while the overall charged memory stays unchanged.
The current implementation considers demoted pages as reclaimed and that
break both usecases. [1] has tried to address the reporting part but
there are more issues with that summarized in [2] and follow up emails.
Let's revert the nodemask based extension of the memcg pro-active
reclaim for now until we settle with a more robust semantic.

The nodes= arg instructs the kernel to only scan the given nodes for
proactive reclaim. For example use cases, consider a 2 tier memory
system:
nodes 0,1 -> top tier
nodes 2,3 -> second tier
$ echo "1m nodes=0" > memory.reclaim
This instructs the kernel to attempt to reclaim 1m memory from node 0.
Since node 0 is a top tier node, demotion will be attempted first. This
is useful to direct proactive reclaim to specific nodes that are under
pressure.
$ echo "1m nodes=2,3" > memory.reclaim
This instructs the kernel to attempt to reclaim 1m memory in the second
tier, since this tier of memory has no demotion targets the memory will be
reclaimed.
$ echo "1m nodes=0,1" > memory.reclaim
Instructs the kernel to reclaim memory from the top tier nodes, which can
be desirable according to the userspace policy if there is pressure on the
top tiers. Since these nodes have demotion targets, the kernel will
attempt demotion first.
Since commit 3f1509c57b ("Revert "mm/vmscan: never demote for memcg
reclaim""), the proactive reclaim interface memory.reclaim does both
reclaim and demotion. Reclaim and demotion incur different latency costs
to the jobs in the cgroup. Demoted memory would still be addressable by
the userspace at a higher latency, but reclaimed memory would need to
incur a pagefault.
The 'nodes' arg is useful to allow the userspace to control demotion and
reclaim independently according to its policy: if the memory.reclaim is
called on a node with demotion targets, it will attempt demotion first; if
it is called on a node without demotion targets, it will only attempt
reclaim.

Direct reclaim stats are useful for identifying a potential source for
application latency, as well as spotting issues with kswapd. However,
khugepaged currently distorts the picture: as a kernel thread it doesn't
impose allocation latencies on userspace, and it explicitly opts out of
kswapd reclaim. Its activity showing up in the direct reclaim stats is
misleading. Counting it as kswapd reclaim could also cause confusion when
trying to understand actual kswapd behavior.
Break out khugepaged from the direct reclaim counters into new
pgsteal_khugepaged, pgdemote_khugepaged, pgscan_khugepaged counters.
Test with a huge executable (CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS):
pgsteal_kswapd 1342185
pgsteal_direct 0
pgsteal_khugepaged 3623
pgscan_kswapd 1345025
pgscan_direct 0
pgscan_khugepaged 3623

PSI accounts stalls for each cgroup separately and aggregates it
at each level of the hierarchy. This may cause non-negligible overhead
for some workloads when under deep level of the hierarchy.
commit 3958e2d0c3 ("cgroup: make per-cgroup pressure stall tracking configurable")
make PSI to skip per-cgroup stall accounting, only account system-wide
to avoid this each level overhead.
But for our use case, we also want leaf cgroup PSI stats accounted for
userspace adjustment on that cgroup, apart from only system-wide adjustment.
So this patch introduce a per-cgroup PSI accounting disable/re-enable
interface "cgroup.pressure", which is a read-write single value file that
allowed values are "0" and "1", the defaults is "1" so per-cgroup
PSI stats is enabled by default.
Implementation details:
It should be relatively straight-forward to disable and re-enable
state aggregation, time tracking, averaging on a per-cgroup level,
if we can live with losing history from while it was disabled.
I.e. the avgs will restart from 0, total= will have gaps.
But it's hard or complex to stop/restart groupc->tasks[] updates,
which is not implemented in this patch. So we always update
groupc->tasks[] and PSI_ONCPU bit in psi_group_change() even when
the cgroup PSI stats is disabled.

Now PSI already tracked workload pressure stall information for
CPU, memory and IO. Apart from these, IRQ/SOFTIRQ could have
obvious impact on some workload productivity, such as web service
workload.
When CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING, we can get IRQ/SOFTIRQ delta time
from update_rq_clock_task(), in which we can record that delta
to CPU curr task's cgroups as PSI_IRQ_FULL status.
Note we don't use PSI_IRQ_SOME since IRQ/SOFTIRQ always happen in
the current task on the CPU, make nothing productive could run
even if it were runnable, so we only use PSI_IRQ_FULL.

We keep track of several kernel memory stats (total kernel memory, page
tables, stack, vmalloc, etc) on multiple levels (global, per-node,
per-memcg, etc). These stats give insights to users to how much memory
is used by the kernel and for what purposes.
Currently, memory used by KVM mmu is not accounted in any of those
kernel memory stats. This patch series accounts the memory pages
used by KVM for page tables in those stats in a new
NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE stat. This stat can be later extended to account
for other types of secondary pages tables (e.g. iommu page tables).
KVM has a decent number of large allocations that aren't for page
tables, but for most of them, the number/size of those allocations
scales linearly with either the number of vCPUs or the amount of memory
assigned to the VM. KVM's secondary page table allocations do not scale
linearly, especially when nested virtualization is in use.
From a KVM perspective, NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE will scale with KVM's
per-VM pages_{4k,2m,1g} stats unless the guest is doing something
bizarre (e.g. accessing only 4kb chunks of 2mb pages so that KVM is
forced to allocate a large number of page tables even though the guest
isn't accessing that much memory). However, someone would need to either
understand how KVM works to make that connection, or know (or be told) to
go look at KVM's stats if they're running VMs to better decipher the stats.
Furthermore, having NR_PAGETABLE side-by-side with NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE
is informative. For example, when backing a VM with THP vs. HugeTLB,
NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE is roughly the same, but NR_PAGETABLE is an order
of magnitude higher with THP. So having this stat will at the very least
prove to be useful for understanding tradeoffs between VM backing types,
and likely even steer folks towards potential optimizations.
The original discussion with more details about the rationale:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/87ilqoi77b.wl-maz@kernel.org
This stat will be used by subsequent patches to count KVM mmu
memory usage.

memory.reclaim is a cgroup v2 interface that allows users to proactively
reclaim memory from a memcg, without real memory pressure. Reclaim
operations invoke vmpressure, which is used: (a) To notify userspace of
reclaim efficiency in cgroup v1, and (b) As a signal for a memcg being
under memory pressure for networking (see
mem_cgroup_under_socket_pressure()).
For (a), vmpressure notifications in v1 are not affected by this change
since memory.reclaim is a v2 feature.
For (b), the effects of the vmpressure signal (according to Shakeel [1])
are as follows:
1. Reducing send and receive buffers of the current socket.
2. May drop packets on the rx path.
3. May throttle current thread on the tx path.
Since proactive reclaim is invoked directly by userspace, not by memory
pressure, it makes sense not to throttle networking. Hence, this change
makes sure that proactive reclaim caused by memory.reclaim does not
trigger vmpressure.

30312730bd ("cgroup: Add "no" prefixed mount options") added "no" prefixed
mount options to allow turning them off and 6a010a49b6 ("cgroup: Make
!percpu threadgroup_rwsem operations optional") added one more "no" prefixed
mount option. However, Michal pointed out that the "no" prefixed options
aren't necessary in allowing mount options to be turned off:
# grep group /proc/mounts
cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot 0 0
# mount -o remount,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot none /sys/fs/cgroup
# grep cgroup /proc/mounts
cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot 0 0
Note that this is different from the remount behavior when the mount(1) is
invoked without the device argument - "none":
# grep cgroup /proc/mounts
cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot 0 0
# mount -o remount,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot /sys/fs/cgroup
# grep cgroup /proc/mounts
cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot 0 0
While a bit confusing, given that there is a way to turn off the options,
there's no reason to have the explicit "no" prefixed options. Let's remove
them.

3942a9bd7b ("locking, rcu, cgroup: Avoid synchronize_sched() in
__cgroup_procs_write()") disabled percpu operations on threadgroup_rwsem
because the impiled synchronize_rcu() on write locking was pushing up the
latencies too much for android which constantly moves processes between
cgroups.
This makes the hotter paths - fork and exit - slower as they're always
forced into the slow path. There is no reason to force this on everyone
especially given that more common static usage pattern can now completely
avoid write-locking the rwsem. Write-locking is elided when turning on and
off controllers on empty sub-trees and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP enables seeding a
cgroup without grabbing the rwsem.
Restore the default percpu operations and introduce the mount option
"favordynmods" and config option CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS for users who need
lower latencies for the dynamic operations.

In order to obtain more accurate information during monitoring and

Applications can currently escape their cgroup memory containment when
zswap is enabled. This patch adds per-cgroup tracking and limiting of
zswap backend memory to rectify this.
The existing cgroup2 memory.stat file is extended to show zswap statistics
analogous to what's in meminfo and vmstat. Furthermore, two new control
files, memory.zswap.current and memory.zswap.max, are added to allow
tuning zswap usage on a per-workload basis. This is important since not
all workloads benefit from zswap equally; some even suffer compared to
disk swap when memory contents don't compress well. The optimal size of
the zswap pool, and the threshold for writeback, also depends on the size
of the workload's warm set.
The implementation doesn't use a traditional page_counter transaction.
zswap is unconventional as a memory consumer in that we only know the
amount of memory to charge once expensive compression has occurred. If
zwap is disabled or the limit is already exceeded we obviously don't want
to compress page upon page only to reject them all. Instead, the limit is
checked against current usage, then we compress and charge. This allows
some limit overrun, but not enough to matter in practice.

We run a lot of automated tests when building our software and run into
OOM scenarios when the tests run unbounded. v1 memcg exports
memcg->watermark as "memory.max_usage_in_bytes" in sysfs. We use this
metric to heuristically limit the number of tests that can run in parallel
based on per test historical data.
This metric is currently not exported for v2 memcg and there is no other
easy way of getting this information. getrusage() syscall returns
"ru_maxrss" which can be used as an approximation but that's the max RSS
of a single child process across all children instead of the aggregated
max for all child processes. The only work around is to periodically poll
"memory.current" but that's not practical for short-lived one-off cgroups.
Hence, expose memcg->watermark as "memory.peak" for v2 memcg.

This patch series adds a memory.reclaim proactive reclaim interface.
The rationale behind the interface and how it works are in the first
patch.
This patch (of 4):
Introduce a memcg interface to trigger memory reclaim on a memory cgroup.
Use case: Proactive Reclaim
---------------------------
A userspace proactive reclaimer can continuously probe the memcg to
reclaim a small amount of memory. This gives more accurate and up-to-date
workingset estimation as the LRUs are continuously sorted and can
potentially provide more deterministic memory overcommit behavior. The
memory overcommit controller can provide more proactive response to the
changing behavior of the running applications instead of being reactive.
A userspace reclaimer's purpose in this case is not a complete replacement
for kswapd or direct reclaim, it is to proactively identify memory savings
opportunities and reclaim some amount of cold pages set by the policy to
free up the memory for more demanding jobs or scheduling new jobs.
A user space proactive reclaimer is used in Google data centers.
Additionally, Meta's TMO paper recently referenced a very similar
interface used for user space proactive reclaim:
https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3503222.3507731
Benefits of a user space reclaimer:
-----------------------------------
1) More flexible on who should be charged for the cpu of the memory
reclaim. For proactive reclaim, it makes more sense to be centralized.
2) More flexible on dedicating the resources (like cpu). The memory
overcommit controller can balance the cost between the cpu usage and
the memory reclaimed.
3) Provides a way to the applications to keep their LRUs sorted, so,
under memory pressure better reclaim candidates are selected. This
also gives more accurate and uptodate notion of working set for an
application.
Why memory.high is not enough?
------------------------------
- memory.high can be used to trigger reclaim in a memcg and can
potentially be used for proactive reclaim. However there is a big
downside in using memory.high. It can potentially introduce high
reclaim stalls in the target application as the allocations from the
processes or the threads of the application can hit the temporary
memory.high limit.
- Userspace proactive reclaimers usually use feedback loops to decide
how much memory to proactively reclaim from a workload. The metrics
used for this are usually either refaults or PSI, and these metrics will
become messy if the application gets throttled by hitting the high
limit.
- memory.high is a stateful interface, if the userspace proactive
reclaimer crashes for any reason while triggering reclaim it can leave
the application in a bad state.
- If a workload is rapidly expanding, setting memory.high to proactively
reclaim memory can result in actually reclaiming more memory than
intended.
The benefits of such interface and shortcomings of existing interface were
further discussed in this RFC thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/5df21376-7dd1-bf81-8414-32a73cea45dd@google.com/
Interface:
----------
Introducing a very simple memcg interface 'echo 10M > memory.reclaim' to
trigger reclaim in the target memory cgroup.
The interface is introduced as a nested-keyed file to allow for future
optional arguments to be easily added to configure the behavior of
reclaim.
Possible Extensions:
--------------------
- This interface can be extended with an additional parameter or flags
to allow specifying one or more types of memory to reclaim from (e.g.
file, anon, ..).
- The interface can also be extended with a node mask to reclaim from
specific nodes. This has use cases for reclaim-based demotion in memory
tiering systens.
- A similar per-node interface can also be added to support proactive
reclaim and reclaim-based demotion in systems without memcg.
- Add a timeout parameter to make it easier for user space to call the
interface without worrying about being blocked for an undefined amount
of time.
For now, let's keep things simple by adding the basic functionality.
