ef8745c1e7 memcg: reduce check for softlimit excess
In charge/uncharge/reclaim path, usage_in_excess is calculated repeatedly
and it takes res_counter's spin_lock every time.

This patch removes unnecessary calls for res_count_soft_limit_excess.

4e649152cb memcg: some modification to softlimit under hierarchical memory reclaim.
This patch clean up/fixes for memcg's uncharge soft limit path.

Problems:
  Now, res_counter_charge()/uncharge() handles softlimit information at
  charge/uncharge and softlimit-check is done when event counter per memcg
  goes over limit. Now, event counter per memcg is updated only when
  memory usage is over soft limit. Here, considering hierarchical memcg
  management, ancesotors should be taken care of.

  Now, ancerstors(hierarchy) are handled in charge() but not in uncharge().
  This is not good.

  Prolems:
  1. memcg's event counter incremented only when softlimit hits. That's bad.
     It makes event counter hard to be reused for other purpose.

  2. At uncharge, only the lowest level rescounter is handled. This is bug.
     Because ancesotor's event counter is not incremented, children should
     take care of them.

  3. res_counter_uncharge()'s 3rd argument is NULL in most case.
     ops under res_counter->lock should be small. No "if" sentense is better.

Fixes:
  * Removed soft_limit_xx poitner and checks in charge and uncharge.
    Do-check-only-when-necessary scheme works enough well without them.

  * make event-counter of memcg incremented at every charge/uncharge.
    (per-cpu area will be accessed soon anyway)

  * All ancestors are checked at soft-limit-check. This is necessary because
    ancesotor's event counter may never be modified. Then, they should be
    checked at the same time.

26251eaf98 memcg: fix refcnt going negative
__mem_cgroup_largest_soft_limit_node() returns a mem_cgroup_per_zone "mz"
with incremnted mz->mem->css's refcnt.  Then, the caller of this function
has to call css_put(mz->mem->css).

But, mz can be !NULL even if "not found" i.e.  without css_get().  By
this, css->refcnt will go down to minus.

This may cause various things...one of results will be
initite-loop in css_tryget()  as this.

0c3e73e84f memcg: improve resource counter scalability
Reduce the resource counter overhead (mostly spinlock) associated with the
root cgroup.  This is a part of the several patches to reduce mem cgroup
overhead.  I had posted other approaches earlier (including using percpu
counters).  Those patches will be a natural addition and will be added
iteratively on top of these.

The patch stops resource counter accounting for the root cgroup.  The data
for display is derived from the statisitcs we maintain via
mem_cgroup_charge_statistics (which is more scalable).  What happens today
is that, we do double accounting, once using res_counter_charge() and once
using memory_cgroup_charge_statistics().  For the root, since we don't
implement limits any more, we don't need to track every charge via
res_counter_charge() and check for limit being exceeded and reclaim.

The main mem->res usage_in_bytes can be derived by summing the cache and
rss usage data from memory statistics (MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE).  However, for memsw->res usage_in_bytes, we need
additional data about swapped out memory.  This patch adds a
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAPOUT and uses that along with MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE to derive the memsw data.  This data is computed
recursively when hierarchy is enabled.

The tests results I see on a 24 way show that

1. The lock contention disappears from /proc/lock_stats
2. The results of the test are comparable to running with
   cgroup_disable=memory.

Here is a sample of my program runs

4e41695356 memory controller: soft limit reclaim on contention
Implement reclaim from groups over their soft limit

Permit reclaim from memory cgroups on contention (via the direct reclaim
path).

memory cgroup soft limit reclaim finds the group that exceeds its soft
limit by the largest number of pages and reclaims pages from it and then
reinserts the cgroup into its correct place in the rbtree.

Add additional checks to mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim() to detect long
loops in case all swap is turned off.  The code has been refactored and
the loop check (loop < 2) has been enhanced for soft limits.  For soft
limits, we try to do more targetted reclaim.  Instead of bailing out after
two loops, the routine now reclaims memory proportional to the size by
which the soft limit is exceeded.  The proportion has been empirically
determined.

f64c3f5494 memory controller: soft limit organize cgroups
Organize cgroups over soft limit in a RB-Tree

Introduce an RB-Tree for storing memory cgroups that are over their soft
limit.  The overall goal is to

1. Add a memory cgroup to the RB-Tree when the soft limit is exceeded.
   We are careful about updates, updates take place only after a particular
   time interval has passed
2. We remove the node from the RB-Tree when the usage goes below the soft
   limit

The next set of patches will exploit the RB-Tree to get the group that is
over its soft limit by the largest amount and reclaim from it, when we
face memory contention.

296c81d89f memory controller: soft limit interface
Add an interface to allow get/set of soft limits.  Soft limits for memory
plus swap controller (memsw) is currently not supported.  Resource
counters have been enhanced to support soft limits and new type
RES_SOFT_LIMIT has been added.  Unlike hard limits, soft limits can be
directly set and do not need any reclaim or checks before setting them to
a newer value.

Kamezawa-San raised a question as to whether soft limit should belong to
res_counter.  Since all resources understand the basic concepts of hard
and soft limits, it is justified to add soft limits here.  Soft limits are
a generic resource usage feature, even file system quotas support soft
limits.

Currently, new mode of the attach function can only tell the subsystem
about the old cgroup of the threadgroup leader.  No subsystem currently
needs that information for each thread that's being moved, but if one were
to be added (for example, one that counts tasks within a group) this bit
would need to be reworked a bit to tell the subsystem the right
information.

refs after pre_destroy() is temporary but...it wasn't.  Then, rmdir can
wait permanently.  This patch tries to fix that and change followings.

 - set CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag before pre_destroy().
 - clear CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag when the subsys finds racy case.
   if there are sleeping ones, wakes them up.
 - rmdir() sleeps only when CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag is set.

22a668d7c3 memcg: fix behavior under memory.limit equals to memsw.limit
A user can set memcg.limit_in_bytes == memcg.memsw.limit_in_bytes when the
user just want to limit the total size of applications, in other words,
not very interested in memory usage itself.  In this case, swap-out will
be done only by global-LRU.

But, under current implementation, memory.limit_in_bytes is checked at
first and try_to_free_page() may do swap-out.  But, that swap-out is
useless for memsw.limit_in_bytes and the thread may hit limit again.

This patch tries to fix the current behavior at memory.limit ==
memsw.limit case.  And documentation is updated to explain the behavior of
this special case.

8a9478ca7f memcg: fix swap accounting
This patch fixes mis-accounting of swap usage in memcg.

In the current implementation, memcg's swap account is uncharged only when
swap is completely freed.  But there are several cases where swap cannot
be freed cleanly.  For handling that, this patch changes that memcg
uncharges swap account when swap has no references other than cache.

By this, memcg's swap entry accounting can be fully synchronous with the
application's behavior.

This patch also changes memcg's hooks for swap-out.

d69b042f3d memcg: add file-based RSS accounting
Add file RSS tracking per memory cgroup

We currently don't track file RSS, the RSS we report is actually anon RSS.
 All the file mapped pages, come in through the page cache and get
accounted there.  This patch adds support for accounting file RSS pages.
It should

1. Help improve the metrics reported by the memory resource controller
2. Will form the basis for a future shared memory accounting heuristic
   that has been proposed by Kamezawa.

Unfortunately, we cannot rename the existing "rss" keyword used in
memory.stat to "anon_rss".  We however, add "mapped_file" data and hope to
educate the end user through documentation.

56e49d2188 vmscan: evict use-once pages first
When the file LRU lists are dominated by streaming IO pages, evict those
pages first, before considering evicting other pages.

This should be safe from deadlocks or performance problems
because only three things can happen to an inactive file page:

1) referenced twice and promoted to the active list
2) evicted by the pageout code
3) under IO, after which it will get evicted or promoted

The pages freed in this way can either be reused for streaming IO, or
allocated for something else.  If the pages are used for streaming IO,
this pageout pattern continues.  Otherwise, we will fall back to the
normal pageout pattern.

e767e0561d memcg: fix deadlock between lock_page_cgroup and mapping tree_lock
mapping->tree_lock can be acquired from interrupt context.  Then,
following dead lock can occur.

Assume "A" as a page.

 CPU0:
       lock_page_cgroup(A)
		interrupted
			-> take mapping->tree_lock.
 CPU1:
       take mapping->tree_lock
		-> lock_page_cgroup(A)

This patch tries to fix above deadlock by moving memcg's hook to out of
mapping->tree_lock.  charge/uncharge of pagecache/swapcache is protected
by page lock, not tree_lock.

After this patch, lock_page_cgroup() is not called under mapping->tree_lock.

ae3abae64f memcg: fix mem_cgroup_shrink_usage()
Current mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() has two problems.

1. It doesn't call mem_cgroup_out_of_memory and doesn't update
   last_oom_jiffies, so pagefault_out_of_memory invokes global OOM.

2. Considering hierarchy, shrinking has to be done from the
   mem_over_limit, not from the memcg which the page would be charged to.

mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() does all of these things properly, so we
use it and call cancel_charge_swapin when it succeeded.

The name of "shrink_usage" is not appropriate for this behavior, so we
change it too.

a3b2d69269 cgroups: use css id in swap cgroup for saving memory v5
Try to use CSS ID for records in swap_cgroup.  By this, on 64bit machine,
size of swap_cgroup goes down to 2 bytes from 8bytes.

This means, when 2GB of swap is equipped, (assume the page size is 4096bytes)

	From size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 8 = 4Mbytes.
	To   size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 2 = 1Mbytes.

Reduction is large.  Of course, there are trade-offs.  This CSS ID will
add overhead to swap-in/swap-out/swap-free.

But in general,
  - swap is a resource which the user tend to avoid use.
  - If swap is never used, swap_cgroup area is not used.
  - Reading traditional manuals, size of swap should be proportional to
    size of memory. Memory size of machine is increasing now.

I think reducing size of swap_cgroup makes sense.

Note:
  - ID->CSS lookup routine has no locks, it's under RCU-Read-Side.
  - memcg can be obsolete at rmdir() but not freed while refcnt from
    swap_cgroup is available.

Changelog v4->v5:
 - reworked on to memcg-charge-swapcache-to-proper-memcg.patch
Changlog ->v4:
 - fixed not configured case.
 - deleted unnecessary comments.
 - fixed NULL pointer bug.
 - fixed message in dmesg.

3c776e6466 memcg: charge swapcache to proper memcg
memcg_test.txt says at 4.1:

	This swap-in is one of the most complicated work. In do_swap_page(),
	following events occur when pte is unchanged.

	(1) the page (SwapCache) is looked up.
	(2) lock_page()
	(3) try_charge_swapin()
	(4) reuse_swap_page() (may call delete_swap_cache())
	(5) commit_charge_swapin()
	(6) swap_free().

	Considering following situation for example.

	(A) The page has not been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page()
	    doesn't call delete_from_swap_cache().
	(B) The page has not been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page()
	    calls delete_from_swap_cache().
	(C) The page has been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page() doesn't
	    call delete_from_swap_cache().
	(D) The page has been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page() calls
	    delete_from_swap_cache().

	    memory.usage/memsw.usage changes to this page/swp_entry will be
	 Case          (A)      (B)       (C)     (D)
         Event
       Before (2)     0/ 1     0/ 1      1/ 1    1/ 1
          ===========================================
          (3)        +1/+1    +1/+1     +1/+1   +1/+1
          (4)          -       0/ 0       -     -1/ 0
          (5)         0/-1     0/ 0     -1/-1    0/ 0
          (6)          -       0/-1       -      0/-1
          ===========================================
       Result         1/ 1     1/ 1      1/ 1    1/ 1

       In any cases, charges to this page should be 1/ 1.

In case of (D), mem_cgroup_try_get_from_swapcache() returns NULL
(because lookup_swap_cgroup() returns NULL), so "+1/+1" at (3) means
charges to the memcg("foo") to which the "current" belongs.
OTOH, "-1/0" at (4) and "0/-1" at (6) means uncharges from the memcg("baa")
to which the page has been charged.

So, if the "foo" and "baa" is different(for example because of task move),
this charge will be moved from "baa" to "foo".

I think this is an unexpected behavior.

This patch fixes this by modifying mem_cgroup_try_get_from_swapcache()
to return the memcg to which the swapcache has been charged if PCG_USED bit
is set.
IIUC, checking PCG_USED bit of swapcache is safe under page lock.

0b7f569e45 memcg: fix OOM killer under memcg
This patch tries to fix OOM Killer problems caused by hierarchy.
Now, memcg itself has OOM KILL function (in oom_kill.c) and tries to
kill a task in memcg.

But, when hierarchy is used, it's broken and correct task cannot
be killed. For example, in following cgroup

	/groupA/	hierarchy=1, limit=1G,
		01	nolimit
		02	nolimit
All tasks' memory usage under /groupA, /groupA/01, groupA/02 is limited to
groupA's 1Gbytes but OOM Killer just kills tasks in groupA.

This patch provides makes the bad process be selected from all tasks
under hierarchy. BTW, currently, oom_jiffies is updated against groupA
in above case. oom_jiffies of tree should be updated.

To see how oom_jiffies is used, please check mem_cgroup_oom_called()
callers.

81d39c20f5 memcg: fix shrinking memory to return -EBUSY by fixing retry algorithm
As pointed out, shrinking memcg's limit should return -EBUSY after
reasonable retries.  This patch tries to fix the current behavior of
shrink_usage.

Before looking into "shrink should return -EBUSY" problem, we should fix
hierarchical reclaim code.  It compares current usage and current limit,
but it only makes sense when the kernel reclaims memory because hit
limits.  This is also a problem.

What this patch does are.

  1. add new argument "shrink" to hierarchical reclaim. If "shrink==true",
     hierarchical reclaim returns immediately and the caller checks the kernel
     should shrink more or not.
     (At shrinking memory, usage is always smaller than limit. So check for
      usage < limit is useless.)

  2. For adjusting to above change, 2 changes in "shrink"'s retry path.
     2-a. retry_count depends on # of children because the kernel visits
	  the children under hierarchy one by one.
     2-b. rather than checking return value of hierarchical_reclaim's progress,
	  compares usage-before-shrink and usage-after-shrink.
	  If usage-before-shrink <= usage-after-shrink, retry_count is
	  decremented.

When tasks under 01/02/03 hit limit on /groupA, hierarchical reclaim
is triggered and the kernel walks tree under groupA. In this case,
rmdir /groupA/04 fails with -EBUSY frequently because of temporal
refcnt from the kernel.

In general. cgroup can be rmdir'd if there are no children groups and
no tasks. Frequent fails of rmdir() is not useful to users.
(And the reason for -EBUSY is unknown to users.....in most cases)

This patch tries to modify above behavior, by
	- retries if css_refcnt is got by someone.
	- add "return value" to pre_destroy() and allows subsystem to
	  say "we're really busy!"

N_POSSIBLE doesn't means there is memory...and force_empty can

To visit all valid nodes, N_HIGH_MEMORY should be used.

7bcc1bb123 memcg: get/put parents at create/free
The lifetime of struct cgroup and struct mem_cgroup is different and
mem_cgroup has its own reference count for handling references from
swap_cgroup.

This causes strange problem that the parent mem_cgroup dies while child
mem_cgroup alive, and this problem causes a bug in case of
use_hierarchy==1 because res_counter_uncharge climbs up the tree.

This patch is for avoiding it by getting the parent at create, and putting
it at freeing.

068b38c1fa memcg: fix a race when setting memory.swappiness
(suppose: memcg->use_hierarchy == 0 and memcg->swappiness == 60)

echo 10 > /memcg/0/swappiness   |
  mem_cgroup_swappiness_write() |
    ...                         | echo 1 > /memcg/0/use_hierarchy
                                | mkdir /mnt/0/1
                                |   sub_memcg->swappiness = 60;
    memcg->swappiness = 10;     |

In the above scenario, we end up having 2 different swappiness
values in a single hierarchy.

We should hold cgroup_lock() when cheking cgrp->children list.

4d1c627389 memcg: make oom less frequently
In previous implementation, mem_cgroup_try_charge checked the return
value of mem_cgroup_try_to_free_pages, and just retried if some pages
had been reclaimed.
But now, try_charge(and mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim called from it)
only checks whether the usage is less than the limit.

This patch tries to change the behavior as before to cause oom less
frequently.

c268e9946d memcg: fix hierarchical reclaim
If root_mem has no children, last_scaned_child is set to root_mem itself.
But after some children added to root_mem, mem_cgroup_get_next_node can
mem_cgroup_put the root_mem although root_mem has not been mem_cgroup_get.

This patch fixes this behavior by:

- Set last_scanned_child to NULL if root_mem has no children or DFS
  search has returned to root_mem itself(root_mem is not a "child" of
  root_mem).  Make mem_cgroup_get_first_node return root_mem in this case.
   There are no mem_cgroup_get/put for root_mem.

- Rename mem_cgroup_get_next_node to __mem_cgroup_get_next_node, and
  mem_cgroup_get_first_node to mem_cgroup_get_next_node.  Make
  mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim call only new mem_cgroup_get_next_node.

40d58138f8 memcg: fix error path of mem_cgroup_move_parent
There is a bug in error path of mem_cgroup_move_parent.

Extra refcnt got from try_charge should be dropped, and usages incremented
by try_charge should be decremented in both error paths:

    A: failure at get_page_unless_zero
    B: failure at isolate_lru_page

This bug makes this parent directory unremovable.

In case of A, rmdir doesn't return, because res.usage doesn't go down to 0
at mem_cgroup_force_empty even after all the pc in lru are removed.

In case of B, rmdir fails and returns -EBUSY, because it has extra ref
counts even after res.usage goes down to 0.

so page->pc->mem_cgroup points to NULL or last mem_cgroup the page

In the latter case, if the mem_cgroup has already freed by rmdir,
the area pointed to by page->pc->mem_cgroup may have invalid data.

b5a84319a4 memcg: fix shmem's swap accounting
Now, you can see following even when swap accounting is enabled.

 1. Create Group 01, and 02.
 2. allocate a "file" on tmpfs by a task under 01.
 3. swap out the "file" (by memory pressure)
 4. Read "file" from a task in group 02.
 5. the charge of "file" is moved to group 02.

This is not ideal behavior. This is because SwapCache which was loaded
by read-ahead is not taken into account..

This is a patch to fix shmem's swapcache behavior.
  - remove mem_cgroup_cache_charge_swapin().
  - Add SwapCache handler routine to mem_cgroup_cache_charge().
    By this, shmem's file cache is charged at add_to_page_cache()
    with GFP_NOWAIT.
  - pass the page of swapcache to shrink_mem_cgroup.

memcg-fix-swap-accounting-leak-v3.patch handles that, but, LRU handling is

patch.)

This patch is a fix for LRU handling (especially for per-zone counters).
At charging SwapCache,
 - Remove page_cgroup from LRU if it's not used.
 - Add page cgroup to LRU if it's not linked to.

03f3c43364 memcg: fix swap accounting leak
Fix swapin charge operation of memcg.

Now, memcg has hooks to swap-out operation and checks SwapCache is really
unused or not.  That check depends on contents of struct page.  I.e.  If
PageAnon(page) && page_mapped(page), the page is recoginized as
still-in-use.

Now, reuse_swap_page() calles delete_from_swap_cache() before establishment
of any rmap. Then, in followinig sequence

	(Page fault with WRITE)
	try_charge() (charge += PAGESIZE)
	commit_charge() (Check page_cgroup is used or not..)
	reuse_swap_page()
		-> delete_from_swapcache()
			-> mem_cgroup_uncharge_swapcache() (charge -= PAGESIZE)
	......
New charge is uncharged soon....
To avoid this,  move commit_charge() after page_mapcount() goes up to 1.
By this,

	try_charge()		(usage += PAGESIZE)
	reuse_swap_page()	(may usage -= PAGESIZE if PCG_USED is set)
	commit_charge()		(If page_cgroup is not marked as PCG_USED,
				 add new charge.)
Accounting will be correct.

Changelog (v2) -> (v3)
  - fixed invalid charge to swp_entry==0.
  - updated documentation.
Changelog (v1) -> (v2)
  - fixed comment.
