Pull percpu updates from Dennis Zhou:
- 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.
- a few misc clean ups for clang warnings

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
code movement without any functional changes.

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.

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.

lock_page_lruvec() and its variants used rcu_read_lock() with the
intention of safeguarding against the mem_cgroup being destroyed
concurrently; but so long as they are called under the specified
conditions (as they are), there is no way for the page's mem_cgroup to be
destroyed. Delete the unnecessary rcu_read_lock() and _unlock().
Hugh Dickins polished the commit log. Thanks a lot!

lock_page_lruvec() and its variants are safe to use under the same
conditions as commit_charge(): add lock_page_memcg() to the comment.
Polished with Hugh Dickins' suggestions, thanks!

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.

Currently 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.
So we convert the NR_SHMEM_THPS account to pages. This patch is
consistent with 8f182270df ("mm/swap.c: flush lru pvecs on compound page
arrival"). Doing this also can make the unit of vmstat counters more
unified. 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.
