Dan Carpenter reports:
The patch 2d146aa3aa: "mm: memcontrol: switch to rstat" from Apr
29, 2021, leads to the following static checker warning:
kernel/cgroup/rstat.c:200 cgroup_rstat_flush()
warn: sleeping in atomic context
mm/memcontrol.c
3572 static unsigned long mem_cgroup_usage(struct mem_cgroup *memcg, bool swap)
3573 {
3574 unsigned long val;
3575
3576 if (mem_cgroup_is_root(memcg)) {
3577 cgroup_rstat_flush(memcg->css.cgroup);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is from static analysis and potentially a false positive. The
problem is that mem_cgroup_usage() is called from __mem_cgroup_threshold()
which holds an rcu_read_lock(). And the cgroup_rstat_flush() function
can sleep.
3578 val = memcg_page_state(memcg, NR_FILE_PAGES) +
3579 memcg_page_state(memcg, NR_ANON_MAPPED);
3580 if (swap)
3581 val += memcg_page_state(memcg, MEMCG_SWAP);
3582 } else {
3583 if (!swap)
3584 val = page_counter_read(&memcg->memory);
3585 else
3586 val = page_counter_read(&memcg->memsw);
3587 }
3588 return val;
3589 }
__mem_cgroup_threshold() indeed holds the rcu lock. In addition, the
thresholding code is invoked during stat changes, and those contexts
have irqs disabled as well. If the lock breaking occurs inside the
flush function, it will result in a sleep from an atomic context.
Use the irqsafe flushing variant in mem_cgroup_usage() to fix this.

An netadmin inside container can use 'ip a a' and 'ip r a'
to assign a large number of ipv4/ipv6 addresses and routing entries
and force kernel to allocate megabytes of unaccounted memory
for long-lived per-netdevice related kernel objects:
'struct in_ifaddr', 'struct inet6_ifaddr', 'struct fib6_node',
'struct rt6_info', 'struct fib_rules' and ip_fib caches.
These objects can be manually removed, though usually they lives
in memory till destroy of its net namespace.
It makes sense to account for them to restrict the host's memory
consumption from inside the memcg-limited container.
One of such objects is the 'struct fib6_node' mostly allocated in
net/ipv6/route.c::__ip6_ins_rt() inside the lock_bh()/unlock_bh() section:
write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock);
err = fib6_add(&table->tb6_root, rt, info, mxc);
write_unlock_bh(&table->tb6_lock);
In this case it is not enough to simply add SLAB_ACCOUNT to corresponding
kmem cache. The proper memory cgroup still cannot be found due to the
incorrect 'in_interrupt()' check used in memcg_kmem_bypass().
Obsoleted in_interrupt() does not describe real execution context properly.
>From include/linux/preempt.h:
The following macros are deprecated and should not be used in new code:
in_interrupt() - We're in NMI,IRQ,SoftIRQ context or have BH disabled
To verify the current execution context new macro should be used instead:

- percpu chunk depopulation - depopulate backing pages for chunks with
empty pages when we exceed a global threshold without those pages.
This lets us reclaim a portion of memory that would previously be
lost until the full chunk would be freed (possibly never).
- memcg accounting cleanup - previously separate chunks were managed
for normal allocations and __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations. These are now
consolidated which cleans up the code quite a bit.

Patch series "Add support for SVM atomics in Nouveau", v11.
Introduction
============
Some devices have features such as atomic PTE bits that can be used to
implement atomic access to system memory. To support atomic operations to
a shared virtual memory page such a device needs access to that page which
is exclusive of the CPU. This series introduces a mechanism to
temporarily unmap pages granting exclusive access to a device.
These changes are required to support OpenCL atomic operations in Nouveau
to shared virtual memory (SVM) regions allocated with the
CL_MEM_SVM_ATOMICS clSVMAlloc flag. A more complete description of the
OpenCL SVM feature is available at
https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenCL/specs/3.0-unified/html/
OpenCL_API.html#_shared_virtual_memory .
Implementation
==============
Exclusive device access is implemented by adding a new swap entry type
(SWAP_DEVICE_EXCLUSIVE) which is similar to a migration entry. The main
difference is that on fault the original entry is immediately restored by
the fault handler instead of waiting.
Restoring the entry triggers calls to MMU notifers which allows a device
driver to revoke the atomic access permission from the GPU prior to the
CPU finalising the entry.
Patches
=======
Patches 1 & 2 refactor existing migration and device private entry
functions.
Patches 3 & 4 rework try_to_unmap_one() by splitting out unrelated
functionality into separate functions - try_to_migrate_one() and
try_to_munlock_one().
Patch 5 renames some existing code but does not introduce functionality.
Patch 6 is a small clean-up to swap entry handling in copy_pte_range().
Patch 7 contains the bulk of the implementation for device exclusive
memory.
Patch 8 contains some additions to the HMM selftests to ensure everything
works as expected.
Patch 9 is a cleanup for the Nouveau SVM implementation.
Patch 10 contains the implementation of atomic access for the Nouveau
driver.
Testing
=======
This has been tested with upstream Mesa 21.1.0 and a simple OpenCL program
which checks that GPU atomic accesses to system memory are atomic.
Without this series the test fails as there is no way of write-protecting
the page mapping which results in the device clobbering CPU writes. For
reference the test is available at
https://ozlabs.org/~apopple/opencl_svm_atomics/
Further testing has been performed by adding support for testing exclusive
access to the hmm-tests kselftests.
This patch (of 10):
Remove multiple similar inline functions for dealing with different types
of special swap entries.
Both migration and device private swap entries use the swap offset to
store a pfn. Instead of multiple inline functions to obtain a struct page
for each swap entry type use a common function pfn_swap_entry_to_page().
Also open-code the various entry_to_pfn() functions as this results is
shorter code that is easier to understand.

This patch also exports cgroup_get_e_css and int_active_memcg so it can be

set_active_memcg() worked for kernel allocations but was silently ignored
for user pages.
This patch establishes a precedence order for who gets charged:
1. If there is a memcg associated with the page already, that memcg is
charged. This happens during swapin.
2. If an explicit mm is passed, mm->memcg is charged. This happens
during page faults, which can be triggered in remote VMs (eg gup).
3. Otherwise consult the current process context. If there is an
active_memcg, use that. Otherwise, current->mm->memcg.
Previously, if a NULL mm was passed to mem_cgroup_charge (case 3) it would
always charge the root cgroup. Now it looks up the active_memcg first
(falling back to charging the root cgroup if not set).

The obj_cgroup_release() and memcg_reparent_objcgs() are serialized by the
css_set_lock. We do not need to care about objcg->memcg being released in
the process of obj_cgroup_release(). So there is no need to pin memcg
before releasing objcg. Remove those pinning logic to simplfy the code.
There are only two places that modifies the objcg->memcg. One is the
initialization to objcg->memcg in the memcg_online_kmem(), another is
objcgs reparenting in the memcg_reparent_objcgs(). It is also impossible
for the two to run in parallel. So xchg() is unnecessary and it is enough
to use WRITE_ONCE().

The below scenario can cause the page counters of the root_mem_cgroup to
be out of balance.
CPU0: CPU1:
objcg = get_obj_cgroup_from_current()
obj_cgroup_charge_pages(objcg)
memcg_reparent_objcgs()
// reparent to root_mem_cgroup
WRITE_ONCE(iter->memcg, parent)
// memcg == root_mem_cgroup
memcg = get_mem_cgroup_from_objcg(objcg)
// do not charge to the root_mem_cgroup
try_charge(memcg)
obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages(objcg)
memcg = get_mem_cgroup_from_objcg(objcg)
// uncharge from the root_mem_cgroup
refill_stock(memcg)
drain_stock(memcg)
page_counter_uncharge(&memcg->memory)
get_obj_cgroup_from_current() never returns a root_mem_cgroup's objcg, so
we never explicitly charge the root_mem_cgroup. And it's not going to
change. It's all about a race when we got an obj_cgroup pointing at some
non-root memcg, but before we were able to charge it, the cgroup was gone,
objcg was reparented to the root and so we're skipping the charging. Then
we store the objcg pointer and later use to uncharge the root_mem_cgroup.
This can cause the page counter to be less than the actual value.
Although we do not display the value (mem_cgroup_usage) so there shouldn't
be any actual problem, but there is a WARN_ON_ONCE in the
page_counter_cancel(). Who knows if it will trigger? So it is better to
fix it.

There are currently two problems in the way the objcg pointer array
(memcg_data) in the page structure is being allocated and freed.
On its allocation, it is possible that the allocated objcg pointer
array comes from the same slab that requires memory accounting. If this
happens, the slab will never become empty again as there is at least
one object left (the obj_cgroup array) in the slab.
When it is freed, the objcg pointer array object may be the last one
in its slab and hence causes kfree() to be called again. With the
right workload, the slab cache may be set up in a way that allows the
recursive kfree() calling loop to nest deep enough to cause a kernel
stack overflow and panic the system.
One way to solve this problem is to split the kmalloc-<n> caches
(KMALLOC_NORMAL) into two separate sets - a new set of kmalloc-<n>
(KMALLOC_NORMAL) caches for unaccounted objects only and a new set of
kmalloc-cg-<n> (KMALLOC_CGROUP) caches for accounted objects only. All
the other caches can still allow a mix of accounted and unaccounted
objects.
With this change, all the objcg pointer array objects will come from
KMALLOC_NORMAL caches which won't have their objcg pointer arrays. So
both the recursive kfree() problem and non-freeable slab problem are
gone.
Since both the KMALLOC_NORMAL and KMALLOC_CGROUP caches no longer have
mixed accounted and unaccounted objects, this will slightly reduce the
number of objcg pointer arrays that need to be allocated and save a bit
of memory. On the other hand, creating a new set of kmalloc caches does
have the effect of reducing cache utilization. So it is properly a wash.
The new KMALLOC_CGROUP is added between KMALLOC_NORMAL and
KMALLOC_RECLAIM so that the first for loop in create_kmalloc_caches()
will include the newly added caches without change.

Patch series "mm: memcg/slab: Fix objcg pointer array handling problem", v4.
Since the merging of the new slab memory controller in v5.9, the page
structure stores a pointer to objcg pointer array for slab pages. When
the slab has no used objects, it can be freed in free_slab() which will
call kfree() to free the objcg pointer array in
memcg_alloc_page_obj_cgroups(). If it happens that the objcg pointer
array is the last used object in its slab, that slab may then be freed
which may caused kfree() to be called again.
With the right workload, the slab cache may be set up in a way that allows
the recursive kfree() calling loop to nest deep enough to cause a kernel
stack overflow and panic the system. In fact, we have a reproducer that
can cause kernel stack overflow on a s390 system involving kmalloc-rcl-256
and kmalloc-rcl-128 slabs with the following kfree() loop recursively
called 74 times:
[ 285.520739] [<000000000ec432fc>] kfree+0x4bc/0x560 [ 285.520740]
[<000000000ec43466>] __free_slab+0xc6/0x228 [ 285.520741]
[<000000000ec41fc2>] __slab_free+0x3c2/0x3e0 [ 285.520742]
[<000000000ec432fc>] kfree+0x4bc/0x560 : While investigating this issue, I
also found an issue on the allocation side. If the objcg pointer array
happen to come from the same slab or a circular dependency linkage is
formed with multiple slabs, those affected slabs can never be freed again.
This patch series addresses these two issues by introducing a new set of
kmalloc-cg-<n> caches split from kmalloc-<n> caches. The new set will
only contain non-reclaimable and non-dma objects that are accounted in
memory cgroups whereas the old set are now for unaccounted objects only.
By making this split, all the objcg pointer arrays will come from the
kmalloc-<n> caches, but those caches will never hold any objcg pointer
array. As a result, deeply nested kfree() call and the unfreeable slab
problems are now gone.
This patch (of 4):
Since the merging of the new slab memory controller in v5.9, the page
structure may store a pointer to obj_cgroup pointer array for slab pages.
Currently, only the __GFP_ACCOUNT bit is masked off. However, the array
is not readily reclaimable and doesn't need to come from the DMA buffer.
So those GFP bits should be masked off as well.
Do the flag bit clearing at memcg_alloc_page_obj_cgroups() to make sure
that it is consistently applied no matter where it is called.

Most kmem_cache_alloc() calls are from user context. With instrumentation
enabled, the measured amount of kmem_cache_alloc() calls from non-task
context was about 0.01% of the total.
The irq disable/enable sequence used in this case to access content from
object stock is slow. To optimize for user context access, there are now
two sets of object stocks (in the new obj_stock structure) for task
context and interrupt context access respectively.
The task context object stock can be accessed after disabling preemption
which is cheap in non-preempt kernel. The interrupt context object stock
can only be accessed after disabling interrupt. User context code can
access interrupt object stock, but not vice versa.
The downside of this change is that there are more data stored in local
object stocks and not reflected in the charge counter and the vmstat
arrays. However, this is a small price to pay for better performance.

There are two issues with the current refill_obj_stock() code. First of
all, when nr_bytes reaches over PAGE_SIZE, it calls drain_obj_stock() to
atomically flush out remaining bytes to obj_cgroup, clear cached_objcg and
do a obj_cgroup_put(). It is likely that the same obj_cgroup will be used
again which leads to another call to drain_obj_stock() and
obj_cgroup_get() as well as atomically retrieve the available byte from
obj_cgroup. That is costly. Instead, we should just uncharge the excess
pages, reduce the stock bytes and be done with it. The drain_obj_stock()
function should only be called when obj_cgroup changes.
Secondly, when charging an object of size not less than a page in
obj_cgroup_charge(), it is possible that the remaining bytes to be
refilled to the stock will overflow a page and cause refill_obj_stock() to
uncharge 1 page. To avoid the additional uncharge in this case, a new
allow_uncharge flag is added to refill_obj_stock() which will be set to
false when called from obj_cgroup_charge() so that an uncharge_pages()
call won't be issued right after a charge_pages() call unless the objcg
changes.
A multithreaded kmalloc+kfree microbenchmark on a 2-socket 48-core
96-thread x86-64 system with 96 testing threads were run. Before this
patch, the total number of kilo kmalloc+kfree operations done for a 4k
large object by all the testing threads per second were 4,304 kops/s
(cgroup v1) and 8,478 kops/s (cgroup v2). After applying this patch, the
number were 4,731 (cgroup v1) and 418,142 (cgroup v2) respectively. This
represents a performance improvement of 1.10X (cgroup v1) and 49.3X
(cgroup v2).

Before the new slab memory controller with per object byte charging,
charging and vmstat data update happen only when new slab pages are
allocated or freed. Now they are done with every kmem_cache_alloc() and
kmem_cache_free(). This causes additional overhead for workloads that
generate a lot of alloc and free calls.
The memcg_stock_pcp is used to cache byte charge for a specific obj_cgroup
to reduce that overhead. To further reducing it, this patch makes the
vmstat data cached in the memcg_stock_pcp structure as well until it
accumulates a page size worth of update or when other cached data change.
Caching the vmstat data in the per-cpu stock eliminates two writes to
non-hot cachelines for memcg specific as well as memcg-lruvecs specific
vmstat data by a write to a hot local stock cacheline.
On a 2-socket Cascade Lake server with instrumentation enabled and this
patch applied, it was found that about 20% (634400 out of 3243830) of the
time when mod_objcg_state() is called leads to an actual call to
__mod_objcg_state() after initial boot. When doing parallel kernel build,
the figure was about 17% (24329265 out of 142512465). So caching the
vmstat data reduces the number of calls to __mod_objcg_state() by more
than 80%.

Patch series "mm/memcg: Reduce kmemcache memory accounting overhead", v6.
With the recent introduction of the new slab memory controller, we
eliminate the need for having separate kmemcaches for each memory cgroup
and reduce overall kernel memory usage. However, we also add additional
memory accounting overhead to each call of kmem_cache_alloc() and
kmem_cache_free().
For workloads that require a lot of kmemcache allocations and
de-allocations, they may experience performance regression as illustrated
in [1] and [2].
A simple kernel module that performs repeated loop of 100,000,000
kmem_cache_alloc() and kmem_cache_free() of either a small 32-byte object
or a big 4k object at module init time with a batch size of 4 (4 kmalloc's
followed by 4 kfree's) is used for benchmarking. The benchmarking tool
was run on a kernel based on linux-next-20210419. The test was run on a
CascadeLake server with turbo-boosting disable to reduce run-to-run
variation.
The small object test exercises mainly the object stock charging and
vmstat update code paths. The large object test also exercises the
refill_obj_stock() and __memcg_kmem_charge()/__memcg_kmem_uncharge() code
paths.
With memory accounting disabled, the run time was 3.130s with both small
object big object tests.
With memory accounting enabled, both cgroup v1 and v2 showed similar
results in the small object test. The performance results of the large
object test, however, differed between cgroup v1 and v2.
The execution times with the application of various patches in the
patchset were:
Applied patches Run time Accounting overhead %age 1 %age 2
--------------- -------- ------------------- ------ ------
Small 32-byte object:
None 11.634s 8.504s 100.0% 271.7%

1-4 18.662s 15.532s 46.1% 496.2%
N.B. %age 1 = overhead/unpatched overhead
%age 2 = overhead/accounting disabled time
Patch 2 (vmstat data stock caching) helps in both the small object test
and the large v2 object test. It doesn't help much in v1 big object test.
Patch 3 (refill_obj_stock improvement) does help the small object test
but offer significant performance improvement for the large object test
(both v1 and v2).
Patch 4 (eliminating irq disable/enable) helps in all test cases.
To test for the extreme case, a multi-threaded kmalloc/kfree
microbenchmark was run on the 2-socket 48-core 96-thread system with
96 testing threads in the same memcg doing kmalloc+kfree of a 4k object
with accounting enabled for 10s. The total number of kmalloc+kfree done
in kilo operations per second (kops/s) were as follows:
Applied patches v1 kops/s v1 change v2 kops/s v2 change
--------------- --------- --------- --------- ---------
None 3,520 1.00X 6,242 1.00X
1-2 4,304 1.22X 8,478 1.36X
1-3 4,731 1.34X 418,142 66.99X
1-4 4,587 1.30X 438,838 70.30X
With memory accounting disabled, the kmalloc/kfree rate was 1,481,291
kop/s. This test shows how significant the memory accouting overhead
can be in some extreme situations.
For this multithreaded test, the improvement from patch 2 mainly
comes from the conditional atomic xchg of objcg->nr_charged_bytes in
mod_objcg_state(). By using an unconditional xchg, the operation rates
were similar to the unpatched kernel.
Patch 3 elminates the single highly contended cacheline of
objcg->nr_charged_bytes for cgroup v2 leading to a huge performance
improvement. Cgroup v1, however, still has another highly contended
cacheline in the shared page counter &memcg->kmem. So the improvement
is only modest.
Patch 4 helps in cgroup v2, but performs worse in cgroup v1 as
eliminating the irq_disable/irq_enable overhead seems to aggravate the
cacheline contention.

Since Roman's series "The new cgroup slab memory controller" applied.
All slab objects are charged via the new APIs of obj_cgroup. The new
APIs introduce a struct obj_cgroup to charge slab objects. It prevents
long-living objects from pinning the original memory cgroup in the
memory. But there are still some corner objects (e.g. allocations
larger than order-1 page on SLUB) which are not charged via the new
APIs. Those objects (include the pages which are allocated from buddy
allocator directly) are charged as kmem pages which still hold a
reference to the memory cgroup.
We want to reuse the obj_cgroup APIs to charge the kmem pages. If we do
that, we should store an object cgroup pointer to page->memcg_data for
the kmem pages.
Finally, page->memcg_data will have 3 different meanings.
1) For the slab pages, page->memcg_data points to an object cgroups
vector.
2) For the kmem pages (exclude the slab pages), page->memcg_data
points to an object cgroup.
3) For the user pages (e.g. the LRU pages), page->memcg_data points
to a memory cgroup.
We do not change the behavior of page_memcg() and page_memcg_rcu(). They
are also suitable for LRU pages and kmem pages. Why?
Because memory allocations pinning memcgs for a long time - it exists at a
larger scale and is causing recurring problems in the real world: page
cache doesn't get reclaimed for a long time, or is used by the second,
third, fourth, ... instance of the same job that was restarted into a new
cgroup every time. Unreclaimable dying cgroups pile up, waste memory, and
make page reclaim very inefficient.
We can convert LRU pages and most other raw memcg pins to the objcg
direction to fix this problem, and then the page->memcg will always point
to an object cgroup pointer. At that time, LRU pages and kmem pages will
be treated the same. The implementation of page_memcg() will remove the
kmem page check.
This patch aims to charge the kmem pages by using the new APIs of
obj_cgroup. Finally, the page->memcg_data of the kmem page points to an
object cgroup. We can use the __page_objcg() to get the object cgroup
associated with a kmem page. Or we can use page_memcg() to get the memory
cgroup associated with a kmem page, but caller must ensure that the
returned memcg won't be released (e.g. acquire the rcu_read_lock or
css_set_lock).

We know that the unit of slab object charging is bytes, the unit of kmem
page charging is PAGE_SIZE. If we want to reuse obj_cgroup APIs to
charge the kmem pages, we should pass PAGE_SIZE (as third parameter) to
obj_cgroup_charge(). Because the size is already PAGE_SIZE, we can skip
touch the objcg stock. And obj_cgroup_{un}charge_pages() are introduced
to charge in units of page level.
In the latter patch, we also can reuse those two helpers to charge or
uncharge a number of kernel pages to a object cgroup. This is just a

Patch series "Use obj_cgroup APIs to charge kmem pages", v5.
Since Roman's series "The new cgroup slab memory controller" applied.
All slab objects are charged with the new APIs of obj_cgroup. The new
APIs introduce a struct obj_cgroup to charge slab objects. It prevents
long-living objects from pinning the original memory cgroup in the
memory. But there are still some corner objects (e.g. allocations
larger than order-1 page on SLUB) which are not charged with the new
APIs. Those objects (include the pages which are allocated from buddy
allocator directly) are charged as kmem pages which still hold a
reference to the memory cgroup.
E.g. We know that the kernel stack is charged as kmem pages because the
size of the kernel stack can be greater than 2 pages (e.g. 16KB on
x86_64 or arm64). If we create a thread (suppose the thread stack is
charged to memory cgroup A) and then move it from memory cgroup A to
memory cgroup B. Because the kernel stack of the thread hold a
reference to the memory cgroup A. The thread can pin the memory cgroup
A in the memory even if we remove the cgroup A. If we want to see this
scenario by using the following script. We can see that the system has
added 500 dying cgroups (This is not a real world issue, just a script
to show that the large kmallocs are charged as kmem pages which can pin
the memory cgroup in the memory).
#!/bin/bash
cat /proc/cgroups | grep memory
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
echo 1 > memory.move_charge_at_immigrate
for i in range{1..500}
do
mkdir kmem_test
echo $$ > kmem_test/cgroup.procs
sleep 3600 &
echo $$ > cgroup.procs
echo `cat kmem_test/cgroup.procs` > cgroup.procs
rmdir kmem_test
done
cat /proc/cgroups | grep memory
This patchset aims to make those kmem pages to drop the reference to
memory cgroup by using the APIs of obj_cgroup. Finally, we can see that
the number of the dying cgroups will not increase if we run the above test
script.
This patch (of 7):
The rcu_read_lock/unlock only can guarantee that the memcg will not be
freed, but it cannot guarantee the success of css_get (which is in the
refill_stock when cached memcg changed) to memcg.
rcu_read_lock()
memcg = obj_cgroup_memcg(old)
__memcg_kmem_uncharge(memcg)
refill_stock(memcg)
if (stock->cached != memcg)
// css_get can change the ref counter from 0 back to 1.
css_get(&memcg->css)
rcu_read_unlock()
This fix is very like the commit:
eefbfa7fd6 ("mm: memcg/slab: fix use after free in obj_cgroup_charge")
Fix this by holding a reference to the memcg which is passed to the
__memcg_kmem_uncharge() before calling __memcg_kmem_uncharge().

Currently the kernel adds the page, allocated for swapin, to the
swapcache before charging the page. This is fine but now we want a
per-memcg swapcache stat which is essential for folks who wants to
transparently migrate from cgroup v1's memsw to cgroup v2's memory and
swap counters. In addition charging a page before exposing it to other
parts of the kernel is a step in the right direction.
To correctly maintain the per-memcg swapcache stat, this patch has
adopted to charge the page before adding it to swapcache. One challenge
in this option is the failure case of add_to_swap_cache() on which we
need to undo the mem_cgroup_charge(). Specifically undoing
mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap() is not simple.
To resolve the issue, this patch decouples the charging for swapin pages
from mem_cgroup_charge(). Two new functions are introduced,
mem_cgroup_swapin_charge_page() for just charging the swapin page and
mem_cgroup_swapin_uncharge_swap() for uncharging the swap slot once the
page has been successfully added to the swapcache.

There are two functions to flush the per-cpu data of an lruvec into the
rest of the cgroup tree: when the cgroup is being freed, and when a CPU
disappears during hotplug. The difference is whether all CPUs or just
one is being collected, but the rest of the flushing code is the same.
Merge them into one function and share the common code.

Replace the memory controller's custom hierarchical stats code with the
generic rstat infrastructure provided by the cgroup core.
The current implementation does batched upward propagation from the
write side (i.e. as stats change). The per-cpu batches introduce an
error, which is multiplied by the number of subgroups in a tree. In
systems with many CPUs and sizable cgroup trees, the error can be large
enough to confuse users (e.g. 32 batch pages * 32 CPUs * 32 subgroups
results in an error of up to 128M per stat item). This can entirely
swallow allocation bursts inside a workload that the user is expecting
to see reflected in the statistics.
In the past, we've done read-side aggregation, where a memory.stat read
would have to walk the entire subtree and add up per-cpu counts. This
became problematic with lazily-freed cgroups: we could have large
subtrees where most cgroups were entirely idle. Hence the switch to
change-driven upward propagation. Unfortunately, it needed to trade
accuracy for speed due to the write side being so hot.
Rstat combines the best of both worlds: from the write side, it cheaply
maintains a queue of cgroups that have pending changes, so that the read
side can do selective tree aggregation. This way the reported stats
will always be precise and recent as can be, while the aggregation can
skip over potentially large numbers of idle cgroups.
The way rstat works is that it implements a tree for tracking cgroups
with pending local changes, as well as a flush function that walks the
tree upwards. The controller then drives this by 1) telling rstat when
a local cgroup stat changes (e.g. mod_memcg_state) and 2) when a flush
is required to get uptodate hierarchy stats for a given subtree (e.g.
when memory.stat is read). The controller also provides a flush
callback that is called during the rstat flush walk for each cgroup and
aggregates its local per-cpu counters and propagates them upwards.
This adds a second vmstats to struct mem_cgroup (MEMCG_NR_STAT +
NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS) to track pending subtree deltas during upward
aggregation. It removes 3 words from the per-cpu data. It eliminates
memcg_exact_page_state(), since memcg_page_state() is now exact.

Patch series "mm: memcontrol: switch to rstat", v3.
This series converts memcg stats tracking to the streamlined rstat
infrastructure provided by the cgroup core code. rstat is already used by
the CPU controller and the IO controller. This change is motivated by
recent accuracy problems in memcg's custom stats code, as well as the
benefits of sharing common infra with other controllers.
The current memcg implementation does batched tree aggregation on the
write side: local stat changes are cached in per-cpu counters, which are
then propagated upward in batches when a threshold (32 pages) is exceeded.
This is cheap, but the error introduced by the lazy upward propagation
adds up: 32 pages times CPUs times cgroups in the subtree. We've had
complaints from service owners that the stats do not reliably track and
react to allocation behavior as expected, sometimes swallowing the results
of entire test applications.
The original memcg stat implementation used to do tree aggregation
exclusively on the read side: local stats would only ever be tracked in
per-cpu counters, and a memory.stat read would iterate the entire subtree
and sum those counters up. This didn't keep up with the times:
- Cgroup trees are much bigger now. We switched to lazily-freed
cgroups, where deleted groups would hang around until their remaining
page cache has been reclaimed. This can result in large subtrees that
are expensive to walk, while most of the groups are idle and their
statistics don't change much anymore.
- Automated monitoring increased. With the proliferation of userspace
oom killing, proactive reclaim, and higher-resolution logging of
workload trends in general, top-level stat files are polled at least
once a second in many deployments.
- The lifetime of cgroups got shorter. Where most cgroup setups in the
past would have a few large policy-oriented cgroups for everything
running on the system, newer cgroup deployments tend to create one
group per application - which gets deleted again as the processes
exit. An aggregation scheme that doesn't retain child data inside the
parents loses event history of the subtree.
Rstat addresses all three of those concerns through intelligent,
persistent read-side aggregation. As statistics change at the local
level, rstat tracks - on a per-cpu basis - only those parts of a subtree
that have changes pending and require aggregation. The actual
aggregation occurs on the colder read side - which can now skip over
(potentially large) numbers of recently idle cgroups.
===
The test_kmem cgroup selftest is currently failing due to excessive
cumulative vmstat drift from 100 subgroups:
ok 1 test_kmem_basic
memory.current = 8810496
slab + anon + file + kernel_stack = 17074568
slab = 6101384
anon = 946176
file = 0
kernel_stack = 10027008
not ok 2 test_kmem_memcg_deletion
ok 3 test_kmem_proc_kpagecgroup
ok 4 test_kmem_kernel_stacks
ok 5 test_kmem_dead_cgroups
ok 6 test_percpu_basic
As you can see, memory.stat items far exceed memory.current. The kernel
stack alone is bigger than all of charged memory. That's because the
memory of the test has been uncharged from memory.current, but the
negative vmstat deltas are still sitting in the percpu caches.
The test at this time isn't even counting percpu, pagetables etc. yet,
which would further contribute to the error. The last patch in the series
updates the test to include them - as well as reduces the vmstat
tolerances in general to only expect page_counter batching.
With all patches applied, the (now more stringent) test succeeds:
ok 1 test_kmem_basic
ok 2 test_kmem_memcg_deletion
ok 3 test_kmem_proc_kpagecgroup
ok 4 test_kmem_kernel_stacks
ok 5 test_kmem_dead_cgroups
ok 6 test_percpu_basic

A kernel build test confirms that overhead is comparable. Two kernels are
built simultaneously in a nested tree with several idle siblings:
root - kernelbuild - one - two - three - four - build-a (defconfig, make -j16)
`- build-b (defconfig, make -j16)
`- idle-1
`- ...
`- idle-9
During the builds, kernelbuild/memory.stat is read once a second.
A perf diff shows that the changes in cycle distribution is
minimal. Top 10 kernel symbols:

This patch (of 8):
The memcg hotunplug callback erroneously flushes counts on the local CPU,
not the counts of the CPU going away; those counts will be lost.
Flush the CPU that is actually going away.
Also simplify the code a bit by using mod_memcg_state() and
count_memcg_events() instead of open-coding the upward flush - this is
comparable to how vmstat.c handles hotunplug flushing.

In the era of async memcg oom-killer, the commit a0d8b00a33 ("mm: memcg:
do not declare OOM from __GFP_NOFAIL allocations") added the code to skip
memcg oom-killer for __GFP_NOFAIL allocations. The reason was that the
__GFP_NOFAIL callers will not enter aync oom synchronization path and will
keep the task marked as in memcg oom. At that time the tasks marked in
memcg oom can bypass the memcg limits and the oom synchronization would
have happened later in the later userspace triggered page fault. Thus
letting the task marked as under memcg oom bypass the memcg limit for
arbitrary time.
With the synchronous memcg oom-killer (commit 29ef680ae7 ("memcg, oom:
move out_of_memory back to the charge path")) and not letting the task
marked under memcg oom to bypass the memcg limits (commit 1f14c1ac19
("mm: memcg: do not allow task about to OOM kill to bypass the limit")),
we can again allow __GFP_NOFAIL allocations to trigger memcg oom-kill.
This will make memcg oom behavior closer to page allocator oom behavior.

When pages are swapped in, the VM may retain the swap copy to avoid
repeated writes in the future. It's also retained if shared pages are
faulted back in some processes, but not in others. During that time we
have an in-memory copy of the page, as well as an on-swap copy. Cgroup1
and cgroup2 handle these overlapping lifetimes slightly differently due to
the nature of how they account memory and swap:
Cgroup1 has a unified memory+swap counter that tracks a data page
regardless whether it's in-core or swapped out. On swapin, we transfer
the charge from the swap entry to the newly allocated swapcache page, even
though the swap entry might stick around for a while. That's why we have
a mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap() call inside mem_cgroup_charge().
Cgroup2 tracks memory and swap as separate, independent resources and thus
has split memory and swap counters. On swapin, we charge the newly
allocated swapcache page as memory, while the swap slot in turn must
remain charged to the swap counter as long as its allocated too.
The cgroup2 logic was broken by commit 2d1c498072 ("mm: memcontrol: make
swap tracking an integral part of memory control"), because it
accidentally removed the do_memsw_account() check in the branch inside
mem_cgroup_uncharge() that was supposed to tell the difference between the
charge transfer in cgroup1 and the separate counters in cgroup2.
As a result, cgroup2 currently undercounts retained swap to varying
degrees: swap slots are cached up to 50% of the configured limit or total
available swap space; partially faulted back shared pages are only limited
by physical capacity. This in turn allows cgroups to significantly
overconsume their alloted swap space.
Add the do_memsw_account() check back to fix this problem.

The rule of list walk has gone since commit a9d5adeeb4
("mm/memcontrol: allow to uncharge page without using page->lru field")
So remove the strange comment and replace the loop with a
list_for_each_entry().
There is only one caller of the uncharge_list(). So just fold it into
mem_cgroup_uncharge_list() and remove it.

This patch adds swapcache stat for the cgroup v2. The swapcache
represents the memory that is accounted against both the memory and the
swap limit of the cgroup. The main motivation behind exposing the
swapcache stat is for enabling users to gracefully migrate from cgroup
v1's memsw counter to cgroup v2's memory and swap counters.
Cgroup v1's memsw limit allows users to limit the memory+swap usage of a
workload but without control on the exact proportion of memory and swap.
Cgroup v2 provides separate limits for memory and swap which enables more
control on the exact usage of memory and swap individually for the
workload.
With some little subtleties, the v1's memsw limit can be switched with the
sum of the v2's memory and swap limits. However the alternative for memsw
usage is not yet available in cgroup v2. Exposing per-cgroup swapcache
stat enables that alternative. Adding the memory usage and swap usage and
subtracting the swapcache will approximate the memsw usage. This will
help in the transparent migration of the workloads depending on memsw
usage and limit to v2' memory and swap counters.
The reasons these applications are still interested in this approximate
memsw usage are: (1) these applications are not really interested in two
separate memory and swap usage metrics. A single usage metric is more
simple to use and reason about for them.
(2) The memsw usage metric hides the underlying system's swap setup from
the applications. Applications with multiple instances running in a
datacenter with heterogeneous systems (some have swap and some don't) will
keep seeing a consistent view of their usage.

Although the ratio of the slab is one, we also should read the ratio from
the related memory_stats instead of hard-coding. And the local variable
of size is already the value of slab_unreclaimable. So we do not need to
read again.
To do this we need some code like below:
if (unlikely(memory_stats[i].idx == NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B)) {
- size = memcg_page_state(memcg, NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B) +
- memcg_page_state(memcg, NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B);
+ VM_BUG_ON(i < 1);
+ VM_BUG_ON(memory_stats[i - 1].idx != NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B);
+ size += memcg_page_state(memcg, memory_stats[i - 1].idx) *
+ memory_stats[i - 1].ratio;
It requires a series of VM_BUG_ONs or comments to ensure these two items
are actually adjacent and in the right order. So it would probably be
easier to implement this using a wrapper that has a big switch() for unit
conversion.
More details about this discussion can refer to:
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1348611/
This would fix the ratio inconsistency and get rid of the order
guarantee.

Patch series "Convert all THP vmstat counters to pages", v6.
This patch series is aimed to convert all THP vmstat counters to pages.
The unit of some vmstat counters are pages, some are bytes, some are
HPAGE_PMD_NR, and some are KiB. When we want to expose these vmstat
counters to the userspace, we have to know the unit of the vmstat counters
is which one. When the unit is bytes or kB, both clearly distinguishable
by the B/KB suffix. But for the THP vmstat counters, we may make mistakes.
For example, the below is some bug fix for the THP vmstat counters:
- 7de2e9f195 ("mm: memcontrol: correct the NR_ANON_THPS counter of hierarchical memcg")
- The first commit in this series ("fix NR_ANON_THPS accounting in charge moving")
This patch series can make the code clear. And make all the unit of the THP
vmstat counters in pages. Finally, the unit of the vmstat counters are
pages, kB and bytes. The B/KB suffix can tell us that the unit is bytes
or kB. The rest which is without suffix are pages.
In this series, I changed the following vmstat counters unit from HPAGE_PMD_NR
to pages. However, there is no change to the print format of output to user
space.
- NR_ANON_THPS
- NR_FILE_THPS
- NR_SHMEM_THPS
- NR_SHMEM_PMDMAPPED
- NR_FILE_PMDMAPPED
Doing this also can make the statistics more accuracy for the THP vmstat
counters. This series is consistent with 8f182270df ("mm/swap.c: flush lru
pvecs on compound page arrival").
Because we use struct per_cpu_nodestat to cache the vmstat counters, which
leads to inaccurate statistics especially THP vmstat counters. In the systems
with hundreds of processors it can be GBs of memory. For example, for a 96
CPUs system, the threshold is the maximum number of 125. And the per cpu
counters can cache 23.4375 GB in total.
The THP page is already a form of batched addition (it will add 512 worth of
memory in one go) so skipping the batching seems like sensible. Although every
THP stats update overflows the per-cpu counter, resorting to atomic global
updates. But it can make the statistics more accuracy for the THP vmstat
counters. From this point of view, I think that do this converting is
reasonable.
Thanks Hugh for mentioning this. This was inspired by Johannes and Roman.
Thanks to them.
This patch (of 7):
The unit of NR_ANON_THPS is HPAGE_PMD_NR already. So it should inc/dec by
one rather than nr_pages.

The vmstat threshold is 32 (MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH), Actually the threshold
can be as big as MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH * PAGE_SIZE. It still fits into s32.
So introduce struct batched_lruvec_stat to optimize memory usage.
The size of struct lruvec_stat is 304 bytes on 64 bit systems. As it is a
per-cpu structure. So with this patch, we can save 304 / 2 * ncpu bytes
per-memcg per-node where ncpu is the number of the possible CPU. If there
are c memory cgroup (include dying cgroup) and n NUMA node in the system.
Finally, we can save (152 * ncpu * c * n) bytes.

In general it's unknown in advance if a slab page will contain accounted
objects or not. In order to avoid memory waste, an obj_cgroup vector is
allocated dynamically when a need to account of a new object arises. Such
approach is memory efficient, but requires an expensive cmpxchg() to set
up the memcg/objcgs pointer, because an allocation can race with a
different allocation on another cpu.
But in some common cases it's known for sure that a slab page will contain
accounted objects: if the page belongs to a slab cache with a SLAB_ACCOUNT
flag set. It includes such popular objects like vm_area_struct, anon_vma,
task_struct, etc.
In such cases we can pre-allocate the objcgs vector and simple assign it
to the page without any atomic operations, because at this early stage the
page is not visible to anyone else.
A very simplistic benchmark (allocating 10000000 64-bytes objects in a
row) shows ~15% win. In the real life it seems that most workloads are
not very sensitive to the speed of (accounted) slab allocations.

Merge tag 'idmapped-mounts-v5.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull idmapped mounts from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces idmapped mounts which has been in the making for some
time. Simply put, different mounts can expose the same file or
directory with different ownership. This initial implementation comes
with ports for fat, ext4 and with Christoph's port for xfs with more
filesystems being actively worked on by independent people and
maintainers.
Idmapping mounts handle a wide range of long standing use-cases. Here
are just a few:
- Idmapped mounts make it possible to easily share files between
multiple users or multiple machines especially in complex
scenarios. For example, idmapped mounts will be used in the
implementation of portable home directories in
systemd-homed.service(8) where they allow users to move their home
directory to an external storage device and use it on multiple
computers where they are assigned different uids and gids. This
effectively makes it possible to assign random uids and gids at
login time.
- It is possible to share files from the host with unprivileged
containers without having to change ownership permanently through
chown(2).
- It is possible to idmap a container's rootfs and without having to
mangle every file. For example, Chromebooks use it to share the
user's Download folder with their unprivileged containers in their
Linux subsystem.
- It is possible to share files between containers with
non-overlapping idmappings.
- Filesystem that lack a proper concept of ownership such as fat can
use idmapped mounts to implement discretionary access (DAC)
permission checking.
- They allow users to efficiently changing ownership on a per-mount
basis without having to (recursively) chown(2) all files. In
contrast to chown (2) changing ownership of large sets of files is
instantenous with idmapped mounts. This is especially useful when
ownership of a whole root filesystem of a virtual machine or
container is changed. With idmapped mounts a single syscall
mount_setattr syscall will be sufficient to change the ownership of
all files.
- Idmapped mounts always take the current ownership into account as
idmappings specify what a given uid or gid is supposed to be mapped
to. This contrasts with the chown(2) syscall which cannot by itself
take the current ownership of the files it changes into account. It
simply changes the ownership to the specified uid and gid. This is
especially problematic when recursively chown(2)ing a large set of
files which is commong with the aforementioned portable home
directory and container and vm scenario.
- Idmapped mounts allow to change ownership locally, restricting it
to specific mounts, and temporarily as the ownership changes only
apply as long as the mount exists.
Several userspace projects have either already put up patches and
pull-requests for this feature or will do so should you decide to pull
this:
- systemd: In a wide variety of scenarios but especially right away
in their implementation of portable home directories.
https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/
- container runtimes: containerd, runC, LXD:To share data between
host and unprivileged containers, unprivileged and privileged
containers, etc. The pull request for idmapped mounts support in
containerd, the default Kubernetes runtime is already up for quite
a while now: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/4734
- The virtio-fs developers and several users have expressed interest
in using this feature with virtual machines once virtio-fs is
ported.
- ChromeOS: Sharing host-directories with unprivileged containers.
I've tightly synced with all those projects and all of those listed
here have also expressed their need/desire for this feature on the
mailing list. For more info on how people use this there's a bunch of
talks about this too. Here's just two recent ones:
https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Rootless-Containers-in-Gitpod.pdfhttps://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/containers_idmap/
This comes with an extensive xfstests suite covering both ext4 and
xfs:
https://git.kernel.org/brauner/xfstests-dev/h/idmapped_mounts
It covers truncation, creation, opening, xattrs, vfscaps, setid
execution, setgid inheritance and more both with idmapped and
non-idmapped mounts. It already helped to discover an unrelated xfs
setgid inheritance bug which has since been fixed in mainline. It will
be sent for inclusion with the xfstests project should you decide to
merge this.
In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with
user namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to
map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount.
By default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace.
The initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not
idmapped. All operations behave as before and this is verified in the
testsuite.
Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace
and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all
the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of
introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in
the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users
to setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account
whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is
currently marked with.
The user namespace the mount will be marked with can be specified by
passing a file descriptor refering to the user namespace as an
argument to the new mount_setattr() syscall together with the new
MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag. The system call follows the openat2() pattern
of extensibility.
The following conditions must be met in order to create an idmapped
mount:
- The caller must currently have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in the
user namespace the underlying filesystem has been mounted in.
- The underlying filesystem must support idmapped mounts.
- The mount must not already be idmapped. This also implies that the
idmapping of a mount cannot be altered once it has been idmapped.
- The mount must be a detached/anonymous mount, i.e. it must have
been created by calling open_tree() with the OPEN_TREE_CLONE flag
and it must not already have been visible in the filesystem.
The last two points guarantee easier semantics for userspace and the
kernel and make the implementation significantly simpler.
By default vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace and no
behavioral or performance changes are observed.
The manpage with a detailed description can be found here:
1d7b902e28
In order to support idmapped mounts, filesystems need to be changed
and mark themselves with the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag in fs_flags. The
patches to convert individual filesystem are not very large or
complicated overall as can be seen from the included fat, ext4, and
xfs ports. Patches for other filesystems are actively worked on and
will be sent out separately. The xfstestsuite can be used to verify
that port has been done correctly.
The mount_setattr() syscall is motivated independent of the idmapped
mounts patches and it's been around since July 2019. One of the most
valuable features of the new mount api is the ability to perform
mounts based on file descriptors only.
Together with the lookup restrictions available in the openat2()
RESOLVE_* flag namespace which we added in v5.6 this is the first time
we are close to hardened and race-free (e.g. symlinks) mounting and
path resolution.
While userspace has started porting to the new mount api to mount
proper filesystems and create new bind-mounts it is currently not
possible to change mount options of an already existing bind mount in
the new mount api since the mount_setattr() syscall is missing.
With the addition of the mount_setattr() syscall we remove this last
restriction and userspace can now fully port to the new mount api,
covering every use-case the old mount api could. We also add the
crucial ability to recursively change mount options for a whole mount
tree, both removing and adding mount options at the same time. This
syscall has been requested multiple times by various people and
projects.
There is a simple tool available at
https://github.com/brauner/mount-idmapped
that allows to create idmapped mounts so people can play with this
patch series. I'll add support for the regular mount binary should you
decide to pull this in the following weeks:

This reverts commit 536d3bf261, as it can
cause writers to memory.high to get stuck in the kernel forever,
performing page reclaim and consuming excessive amounts of CPU cycles.
Before the patch, a write to memory.high would first put the new limit
in place for the workload, and then reclaim the requested delta. After
the patch, the kernel tries to reclaim the delta before putting the new
limit into place, in order to not overwhelm the workload with a sudden,
large excess over the limit. However, if reclaim is actively racing
with new allocations from the uncurbed workload, it can keep the write()
working inside the kernel indefinitely.
This is causing problems in Facebook production. A privileged
system-level daemon that adjusts memory.high for various workloads
running on a host can get unexpectedly stuck in the kernel and
essentially turn into a sort of involuntary kswapd for one of the
workloads. We've observed that daemon busy-spin in a write() for
minutes at a time, neglecting its other duties on the system, and
expending privileged system resources on behalf of a workload.
To remedy this, we have first considered changing the reclaim logic to
break out after a couple of loops - whether the workload has converged
to the new limit or not - and bound the write() call this way. However,
the root cause that inspired the sequence change in the first place has
been fixed through other means, and so a revert back to the proven
limit-setting sequence, also used by memory.max, is preferable.
The sequence was changed to avoid extreme latencies in the workload when
the limit was lowered: the sudden, large excess created by the limit
lowering would erroneously trigger the penalty sleeping code that is
meant to throttle excessive growth from below. Allocating threads could
end up sleeping long after the write() had already reclaimed the delta
for which they were being punished.
However, erroneous throttling also caused problems in other scenarios at
around the same time. This resulted in commit b3ff92916a ("mm, memcg:
reclaim more aggressively before high allocator throttling"), included
in the same release as the offending commit. When allocating threads
now encounter large excess caused by a racing write() to memory.high,
instead of entering punitive sleeps, they will simply be tasked with
helping reclaim down the excess, and will be held no longer than it
takes to accomplish that. This is in line with regular limit
enforcement - i.e. if the workload allocates up against or over an
otherwise unchanged limit from below.
With the patch breaking userspace, and the root cause addressed by other
means already, revert it again.

Add two simple helpers to check permissions on a file and path
respectively and convert over some callers. It simplifies quite a few
codepaths and also reduces the churn in later patches quite a bit.
Christoph also correctly points out that this makes codepaths (e.g.
ioctls) way easier to follow that would otherwise have to do more
complex argument passing than necessary.

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

For many workloads, pagetable consumption is significant and it makes
sense to expose it in the memory.stat for the memory cgroups. However at
the moment, the pagetables are accounted per-zone. Converting them to
per-node and using the right interface will correctly account for the
memory cgroups as well.

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

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

there are exactly 0 external references to this memory cgroup (how we get

As huge page usage in the page cache and for shmem files proliferates in
our production environment, the performance monitoring team has asked for
per-cgroup stats on those pages.
We already track and export anon_thp per cgroup. We already track file
THP and shmem THP per node, so making them per-cgroup is only a matter of
switching from node to lruvec counters. All callsites are in places where
the pages are charged and locked, so page->memcg is stable.

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

To gather all direct accesses to struct page's memcg_data field in one
place, let's introduce 3 new helpers to use in the slab accounting code:
struct obj_cgroup **page_objcgs(struct page *page);
struct obj_cgroup **page_objcgs_check(struct page *page);
bool set_page_objcgs(struct page *page, struct obj_cgroup **objcgs);
They are similar to the corresponding API for generic pages, except that
the setter can return false, indicating that the value has been already
set from a different thread.

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

Richard reported a warning which can be reproduced by running the LTP

The problem occurs because in the non-hierarchical mode non-root page
counters are not linked to root page counters, so the charge is not
propagated to the root memory cgroup.
After the removal of the original memory cgroup and reparenting of the
object cgroup, the root cgroup might be uncharged by draining a objcg
stock, for example. It leads to an eventual underflow of the charge and
triggers a warning.
Fix it by linking all page counters to corresponding root page counters
in the non-hierarchical mode.
Please note, that in the non-hierarchical mode all objcgs are always
reparented to the root memory cgroup, even if the hierarchy has more
than 1 level. This patch doesn't change it.
The patch also doesn't affect how the hierarchical mode is working,
which is the only sane and truly supported mode now.
Thanks to Richard for reporting, debugging and providing an alternative
version of the fix!

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

Remote memcg charging API uses current->active_memcg to store the
currently active memory cgroup, which overwrites the memory cgroup of the
current process. It works well for normal contexts, but doesn't work for
interrupt contexts: indeed, if an interrupt occurs during the execution of
a section with an active memcg set, all allocations inside the interrupt
will be charged to the active memcg set (given that we'll enable
accounting for allocations from an interrupt context). But because the
interrupt might have no relation to the active memcg set outside, it's
obviously wrong from the accounting prospective.
To resolve this problem, let's add a global percpu int_active_memcg
variable, which will be used to store an active memory cgroup which will
be used from interrupt contexts. set_active_memcg() will transparently
use current->active_memcg or int_active_memcg depending on the context.
To make the read part simple and transparent for the caller, let's
introduce two new functions:
- struct mem_cgroup *active_memcg(void),
- struct mem_cgroup *get_active_memcg(void).
They are returning the active memcg if it's set, hiding all implementation
details: where to get it depending on the current context.

Patch series "mm: kmem: kernel memory accounting in an interrupt context".
This patchset implements memcg-based memory accounting of allocations made
from an interrupt context.
Historically, such allocations were passed unaccounted mostly because
charging the memory cgroup of the current process wasn't an option. Also
performance reasons were likely a reason too.
The remote charging API allows to temporarily overwrite the currently
active memory cgroup, so that all memory allocations are accounted towards
some specified memory cgroup instead of the memory cgroup of the current
process.
This patchset extends the remote charging API so that it can be used from
an interrupt context. Then it removes the fence that prevented the
accounting of allocations made from an interrupt context. It also
contains a couple of optimizations/code refactorings.
This patchset doesn't directly enable accounting for any specific
allocations, but prepares the code base for it. The bpf memory accounting
will likely be the first user of it: a typical example is a bpf program
parsing an incoming network packet, which allocates an entry in hashmap
map to store some information.
This patch (of 4):
Currently memcg_kmem_bypass() is called before obtaining the current
memory/obj cgroup using get_mem/obj_cgroup_from_current(). Moving
memcg_kmem_bypass() into get_mem/obj_cgroup_from_current() reduces the
number of call sites and allows further code simplifications.

Currently the remote memcg charging API consists of two functions:
memalloc_use_memcg() and memalloc_unuse_memcg(), which set and clear the
memcg value, which overwrites the memcg of the current task.
memalloc_use_memcg(target_memcg);
<...>
memalloc_unuse_memcg();
It works perfectly for allocations performed from a normal context,
however an attempt to call it from an interrupt context or just nest two
remote charging blocks will lead to an incorrect accounting. On exit from
the inner block the active memcg will be cleared instead of being
restored.
memalloc_use_memcg(target_memcg);
memalloc_use_memcg(target_memcg_2);
<...>
memalloc_unuse_memcg();
Error: allocation here are charged to the memcg of the current
process instead of target_memcg.
memalloc_unuse_memcg();
This patch extends the remote charging API by switching to a single
function: struct mem_cgroup *set_active_memcg(struct mem_cgroup *memcg),
which sets the new value and returns the old one. So a remote charging
block will look like:
old_memcg = set_active_memcg(target_memcg);
<...>
set_active_memcg(old_memcg);
This patch is heavily based on the patch by Johannes Weiner, which can be
found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/5/28/806 .

The code in mc_handle_swap_pte() checks for non_swap_entry() and returns
NULL before checking is_device_private_entry() so device private pages are
never handled. Fix this by checking for non_swap_entry() after handling
device private swap PTEs.
I assume the memory cgroup accounting would be off somehow when moving
a process to another memory cgroup. Currently, the device private page
is charged like a normal anonymous page when allocated and is uncharged
when the page is freed so I think that path is OK.

In the cgroup v1, we have a numa_stat interface. This is useful for
providing visibility into the numa locality information within an memcg
since the pages are allowed to be allocated from any physical node. One
of the use cases is evaluating application performance by combining this
information with the application's CPU allocation. But the cgroup v2 does
not. So this patch adds the missing information.

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

mem_cgroup_from_obj() checks the lowest bit of the page->mem_cgroup
pointer to determine if the page has an attached obj_cgroup vector instead
of a regular memcg pointer. If it's not set, it simple returns the
page->mem_cgroup value as a struct mem_cgroup pointer.
The commit 10befea91b ("mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches
for all allocations") changed the moment when this bit is set: if
previously it was set on the allocation of the slab page, now it can be
set well after, when the first accounted object is allocated on this page.
It opened a race: if page->mem_cgroup is set concurrently after the first
page_has_obj_cgroups(page) check, a pointer to the obj_cgroups array can
be returned as a memory cgroup pointer.
A simple check for page->mem_cgroup pointer for NULL before the
page_has_obj_cgroups() check fixes the race. Indeed, if the pointer is
not NULL, it's either a simple mem_cgroup pointer or a pointer to
obj_cgroup vector. The pointer can be asynchronously changed from NULL to
(obj_cgroup_vec | 0x1UL), but can't be changed from a valid memcg pointer
to objcg vector or back.
If the object passed to mem_cgroup_from_obj() is a slab object and
page->mem_cgroup is NULL, it means that the object is not accounted, so
the function must return NULL.
I've discovered the race looking at the code, so far I haven't seen it in
the wild.

Commit 1a3e1f4096 ("mm: memcontrol: decouple reference counting from
page accounting") reworked the memcg lifetime to be bound the the struct
page rather than charges. It also removed the css_put_many from
uncharge_batch and that is causing the above splat.
uncharge_batch() is supposed to uncharge accumulated charges for all
pages freed from the same memcg. The queuing is done by uncharge_page
which however drops the memcg reference after it adds charges to the
batch. If the current page happens to be the last one holding the
reference for its memcg then the memcg is OK to go and the next page to
be freed will trigger batched uncharge which needs to access the memcg
which is gone already.
Fix the issue by taking a reference for the memcg in the current batch.

Commit 3e38e0aaca ("mm: memcg: charge memcg percpu memory to the
parent cgroup") adds memory tracking to the memcg kernel structures
themselves to make cgroups liable for the memory they are consuming
through the allocation of child groups (which can be significant).
This code is a bit awkward as it's spread out through several functions:
The outermost function does memalloc_use_memcg(parent) to set up
current->active_memcg, which designates which cgroup to charge, and the
inner functions pass GFP_ACCOUNT to request charging for specific
allocations. To make sure this dependency is satisfied at all times -
to make sure we don't randomly charge whoever is calling the functions -
the inner functions warn on !current->active_memcg.
However, this triggers a false warning when the root memcg itself is
allocated. No parent exists in this case, and so current->active_memcg
is rightfully NULL. It's a false positive, not indicative of a bug.
Delete the warnings for now, we can revisit this later.

Memory cgroups are using large chunks of percpu memory to store vmstat
data. Yet this memory is not accounted at all, so in the case when there
are many (dying) cgroups, it's not exactly clear where all the memory is.
Because the size of memory cgroup internal structures can dramatically
exceed the size of object or page which is pinning it in the memory, it's
not a good idea to simply ignore it. It actually breaks the isolation
between cgroups.
Let's account the consumed percpu memory to the parent cgroup.

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

When an outside process lowers one of the memory limits of a cgroup (or
uses the force_empty knob in cgroup1), direct reclaim is performed in the
context of the write(), in order to directly enforce the new limit and
have it being met by the time the write() returns.
Currently, this reclaim activity is accounted as memory pressure in the
cgroup that the writer(!) belongs to. This is unexpected. It
specifically causes problems for senpai
(https://github.com/facebookincubator/senpai), which is an agent that
routinely adjusts the memory limits and performs associated reclaim work
in tens or even hundreds of cgroups running on the host. The cgroup that
senpai is running in itself will report elevated levels of memory
pressure, even though it itself is under no memory shortage or any sort of
distress.
Move the psi annotation from the central cgroup reclaim function to
callsites in the allocation context, and thereby no longer count any
limit-setting reclaim as memory pressure. If the newly set limit causes
the workload inside the cgroup into direct reclaim, that of course will
continue to count as memory pressure.

Memcg oom killer invocation is synchronized by the global oom_lock and
tasks are sleeping on the lock while somebody is selecting the victim or
potentially race with the oom_reaper is releasing the victim's memory.
This can result in a pointless oom killer invocation because a waiter
might be racing with the oom_reaper
P1 oom_reaper P2
oom_reap_task mutex_lock(oom_lock)
out_of_memory # no victim because we have one already
__oom_reap_task_mm mute_unlock(oom_lock)
mutex_lock(oom_lock)
set MMF_OOM_SKIP
select_bad_process
# finds a new victim
The page allocator prevents from this race by trying to allocate after the
lock can be acquired (in __alloc_pages_may_oom) which acts as a last
minute check. Moreover page allocator simply doesn't block on the
oom_lock and simply retries the whole reclaim process.
Memcg oom killer should do the last minute check as well. Call
mem_cgroup_margin to do that. Trylock on the oom_lock could be done as
well but this doesn't seem to be necessary at this stage.

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

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

Reclaim retries have been set to 5 since the beginning of time in
commit 66e1707bc3 ("Memory controller: add per cgroup LRU and
reclaim"). However, we now have a generally agreed-upon standard for
page reclaim: MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (currently 16), added many years later
in commit 0a0337e0d1 ("mm, oom: rework oom detection").
In the absence of a compelling reason to declare an OOM earlier in memcg
context than page allocator context, it seems reasonable to supplant
MEM_CGROUP_RECLAIM_RETRIES with MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES, making the page
allocator and memcg internals more similar in semantics when reclaim
fails to produce results, avoiding premature OOMs or throttling.

Patch series "mm, memcg: reclaim harder before high throttling", v2.
This patch (of 2):
In Facebook production, we've seen cases where cgroups have been put into
allocator throttling even when they appear to have a lot of slack file
caches which should be trivially reclaimable.
Looking more closely, the problem is that we only try a single cgroup
reclaim walk for each return to usermode before calculating whether or not
we should throttle. This single attempt doesn't produce enough pressure
to shrink for cgroups with a rapidly growing amount of file caches prior
to entering allocator throttling.
As an example, we see that threads in an affected cgroup are stuck in
allocator throttling:
# for i in $(cat cgroup.threads); do
> grep over_high "/proc/$i/stack"
> done
[<0>] mem_cgroup_handle_over_high+0x10b/0x150
[<0>] mem_cgroup_handle_over_high+0x10b/0x150
[<0>] mem_cgroup_handle_over_high+0x10b/0x150
...however, there is no I/O pressure reported by PSI, despite a lot of

This patch changes the behaviour to retry reclaim either until the current
task goes below the 10ms grace period, or we are making no reclaim
progress at all. In the latter case, we enter reclaim throttling as
before.
To a user, there's no intuitive reason for the reclaim behaviour to differ
from hitting memory.high as part of a new allocation, as opposed to
hitting memory.high because someone lowered its value. As such this also
brings an added benefit: it unifies the reclaim behaviour between the two.
There's precedent for this behaviour: we already do reclaim retries when
writing to memory.{high,max}, in max reclaim, and in the page allocator
itself.

Memory.high limit is implemented in a way such that the kernel penalizes
all threads which are allocating a memory over the limit. Forcing all
threads into the synchronous reclaim and adding some artificial delays
allows to slow down the memory consumption and potentially give some time
for userspace oom handlers/resource control agents to react.
It works nicely if the memory usage is hitting the limit from below,
however it works sub-optimal if a user adjusts memory.high to a value way
below the current memory usage. It basically forces all workload threads
(doing any memory allocations) into the synchronous reclaim and sleep.
This makes the workload completely unresponsive for a long period of time
and can also lead to a system-wide contention on lru locks. It can happen
even if the workload is not actually tight on memory and has, for example,
a ton of cold pagecache.
In the current implementation writing to memory.high causes an atomic
update of page counter's high value followed by an attempt to reclaim
enough memory to fit into the new limit. To fix the problem described
above, all we need is to change the order of execution: try to push the
memory usage under the limit first, and only then set the new high limit.

Currently the kernel stack is being accounted per-zone. There is no need
to do that. In addition due to being per-zone, memcg has to keep a
separate MEMCG_KERNEL_STACK_KB. Make the stat per-node and deprecate
MEMCG_KERNEL_STACK_KB as memcg_stat_item is an extension of
node_stat_item. In addition localize the kernel stack stats updates to

Instead of having two sets of kmem_caches: one for system-wide and
non-accounted allocations and the second one shared by all accounted
allocations, we can use just one.
The idea is simple: space for obj_cgroup metadata can be allocated on
demand and filled only for accounted allocations.
It allows to remove a bunch of code which is required to handle kmem_cache
clones for accounted allocations. There is no more need to create them,
accumulate statistics, propagate attributes, etc. It's a quite
significant simplification.
Also, because the total number of slab_caches is reduced almost twice (not
all kmem_caches have a memcg clone), some additional memory savings are
expected. On my devvm it additionally saves about 3.5% of slab memory.

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

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

Deprecate memory.kmem.slabinfo.
An empty file will be presented if corresponding config options are
enabled.
The interface is implementation dependent, isn't present in cgroup v2, and
is generally useful only for core mm debugging purposes. In other words,
it doesn't provide any value for the absolute majority of users.
A drgn-based replacement can be found in
tools/cgroup/memcg_slabinfo.py. It does support cgroup v1 and v2,
mimics memory.kmem.slabinfo output and also allows to get any
additional information without a need to recompile the kernel.
If a drgn-based solution is too slow for a task, a bpf-based tracing tool
can be used, which can easily keep track of all slab allocations belonging
to a memory cgroup.

Objcg pointer is obtained from the memcg->objcg dereferencing in

This commit temporarily increases the memory footprint of the kernel memory
accounting. To store obj_cgroup pointers we'll need a place for an

in the series will enable sharing of slab pages between memory cgroups,
which will dramatically increase the total slab utilization. And the final
memory footprint will be significantly smaller than before.
To distinguish between obj_cgroups and memcg pointers in case when it's
not obvious which one is used (as in page_cgroup_ino()), let's always set
the lowest bit in the obj_cgroup case. The original obj_cgroups
pointer is marked to be ignored by kmemleak, which otherwise would
report a memory leak for each allocated vector.

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.

The reference counting of a memcg is currently coupled directly to how
many 4k pages are charged to it. This doesn't work well with Roman's new
slab controller, which maintains pools of objects and doesn't want to keep
an extra balance sheet for the pages backing those objects.
This unusual refcounting design (reference counts usually track pointers
to an object) is only for historical reasons: memcg used to not take any
css references and simply stalled offlining until all charges had been
reparented and the page counters had dropped to zero. When we got rid of
the reparenting requirement, the simple mechanical translation was to take
a reference for every charge.
More historical context can be found in commit e8ea14cc6e ("mm:
memcontrol: take a css reference for each charged page"), commit
64f2199389 ("mm: memcontrol: remove obsolete kmemcg pinning tricks") and
commit b2052564e6 ("mm: memcontrol: continue cache reclaim from offlined
groups").
The new slab controller exposes the limitations in this scheme, so let's
switch it to a more idiomatic reference counting model based on actual
kernel pointers to the memcg:
- The per-cpu stock holds a reference to the memcg its caching
- User pages hold a reference for their page->mem_cgroup. Transparent
huge pages will no longer acquire tail references in advance, we'll
get them if needed during the split.
- Kernel pages hold a reference for their page->mem_cgroup
- Pages allocated in the root cgroup will acquire and release css
references for simplicity. css_get() and css_put() optimize that.
- The current memcg_charge_slab() already hacked around the per-charge
references; this change gets rid of that as well.
- tcp accounting will handle reference in mem_cgroup_sk_{alloc,free}
Roman:
1) Rebased on top of the current mm tree: added css_get() in
mem_cgroup_charge(), dropped mem_cgroup_try_charge() part
2) I've reformatted commit references in the commit log to make
checkpatch.pl happy.

In order to prepare for per-object slab memory accounting, convert
NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE vmstat items to bytes.
To make it obvious, rename them to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B and
NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B (similar to NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB).
Internally global and per-node counters are stored in pages, however memcg
and lruvec counters are stored in bytes. This scheme may look weird, but
only for now. As soon as slab pages will be shared between multiple
cgroups, global and node counters will reflect the total number of slab
pages. However memcg and lruvec counters will be used for per-memcg slab
memory tracking, which will take separate kernel objects in the account.
Keeping global and node counters in pages helps to avoid additional
overhead.
The size of slab memory shouldn't exceed 4Gb on 32-bit machines, so it
will fit into atomic_long_t we use for vmstats.

To implement per-object slab memory accounting, we need to convert slab
vmstat counters to bytes. Actually, out of 4 levels of counters: global,
per-node, per-memcg and per-lruvec only two last levels will require
byte-sized counters. It's because global and per-node counters will be
counting the number of slab pages, and per-memcg and per-lruvec will be
counting the amount of memory taken by charged slab objects.
Converting all vmstat counters to bytes or even all slab counters to bytes
would introduce an additional overhead. So instead let's store global and
per-node counters in pages, and memcg and lruvec counters in bytes.
To make the API clean all access helpers (both on the read and write
sides) are dealing with bytes.
To avoid back-and-forth conversions a new flavor of read-side helpers is
introduced, which always returns values in pages: node_page_state_pages()
and global_node_page_state_pages().
Actually new helpers are just reading raw values. Old helpers are simple
wrappers, which will complain on an attempt to read byte value, because at
the moment no one actually needs bytes.
Thanks to Johannes Weiner for the idea of having the byte-sized API on top
of the page-sized internal storage.

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.

This patch (of 19):
To convert memcg and lruvec slab counters to bytes there must be a way to
change these counters without touching node counters. Factor out
__mod_memcg_lruvec_state() out of __mod_lruvec_state().

Historically the kernel memory accounting was an opt-in feature, which
could be enabled for individual cgroups. But now it's not true, and it's
on by default both on cgroup v1 and cgroup v2. And as long as a user has
at least one non-root memory cgroup, the kernel memory accounting is on.
So in most setups it's either always on (if memory cgroups are in use and
kmem accounting is not disabled), either always off (otherwise).
memcg_kmem_enabled() is used in many places to guard the kernel memory
accounting code. If memcg_kmem_enabled() can reverse from returning true
to returning false (as now), we can't rely on it on release paths and have
to check if it was on before.
If we'll make memcg_kmem_enabled() irreversible (always returning true
after returning it for the first time), it'll make the general logic more
simple and robust. It also will allow to guard some checks which
otherwise would stay unguarded.

It was hard to keep a test running, moving tasks between memcgs with
move_charge_at_immigrate, while swapping: mem_cgroup_id_get_many()'s
refcount is discovered to be 0 (supposedly impossible), so it is then
forced to REFCOUNT_SATURATED, and after thousands of warnings in quick
succession, the test is at last put out of misery by being OOM killed.
This is because of the way moved_swap accounting was saved up until the
task move gets completed in __mem_cgroup_clear_mc(), deferred from when
mem_cgroup_move_swap_account() actually exchanged old and new ids.
Concurrent activity can free up swap quicker than the task is scanned,
bringing id refcount down 0 (which should only be possible when
offlining).
Just skip that optimization: do that part of the accounting immediately.

Prabhakar reported an OOPS inside mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages()
function in a corner case seen on some arm64 boards when kdump kernel
runs with "cgroup_disable=memory" passed to the kdump kernel via
bootargs.
The root-cause behind the same is that currently mem_cgroup_swap_init()
function is implemented as a subsys_initcall() call instead of a
core_initcall(), this means 'cgroup_memory_noswap' still remains set to
the default value (false) even when memcg is disabled via
"cgroup_disable=memory" boot parameter.
This may result in premature OOPS inside mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages()
function in corner cases:

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.
In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:
git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
xargs perl -pi -e \
's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'
drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

This happens when parent_usage == siblings_protected.
We check that usage is bigger than protected, which should imply
parent_usage being bigger than siblings_protected. However, we don't
read (or even update) these values atomically, and they can be out of
sync as the memory state changes under us. A bit of fluctuation around
the target protection isn't a big deal, but we need to handle the div0
case.
Check the parent state explicitly to make sure we have a reasonable
positive value for the divisor.

Currently, scan pressure between the anon and file LRU lists is balanced
based on a mixture of reclaim efficiency and a somewhat vague notion of
"value" of having certain pages in memory over others. That concept of
value is problematic, because it has caused us to count any event that
remotely makes one LRU list more or less preferrable for reclaim, even
when these events are not directly comparable and impose very different
costs on the system. One example is referenced file pages that we still
deactivate and referenced anonymous pages that we actually rotate back to
the head of the list.
There is also conceptual overlap with the LRU algorithm itself. By
rotating recently used pages instead of reclaiming them, the algorithm
already biases the applied scan pressure based on page value. Thus, when
rebalancing scan pressure due to rotations, we should think of reclaim
cost, and leave assessing the page value to the LRU algorithm.
Lastly, considering both value-increasing as well as value-decreasing
events can sometimes cause the same type of event to be counted twice,
i.e. how rotating a page increases the LRU value, while reclaiming it
succesfully decreases the value. In itself this will balance out fine,
but it quietly skews the impact of events that are only recorded once.
The abstract metric of "value", the murky relationship with the LRU
algorithm, and accounting both negative and positive events make the
current pressure balancing model hard to reason about and modify.
This patch switches to a balancing model of accounting the concrete,
actually observed cost of reclaiming one LRU over another. For now, that
cost includes pages that are scanned but rotated back to the list head.
Subsequent patches will add consideration for IO caused by refaulting of
recently evicted pages.
Replace struct zone_reclaim_stat with two cost counters in the lruvec, and
make everything that affects cost go through a new lru_note_cost()
function.
