Sha Zhengju 3ea67d06e4 memcg: add per cgroup writeback pages accounting
Add memcg routines to count writeback pages, later dirty pages will also
be accounted.

After Kame's commit 89c06bd52f ("memcg: use new logic for page stat
accounting"), we can use 'struct page' flag to test page state instead
of per page_cgroup flag.  But memcg has a feature to move a page from a
cgroup to another one and may have race between "move" and "page stat
accounting".  So in order to avoid the race we have designed a new lock:

         mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
         modify page information        -->(a)
         mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()  -->(b)
         mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat()

It requires both (a) and (b)(writeback pages accounting) to be pretected
in mem_cgroup_{begin/end}_update_page_stat().  It's full no-op for
!CONFIG_MEMCG, almost no-op if memcg is disabled (but compiled in), rcu
read lock in the most cases (no task is moving), and spin_lock_irqsave
on top in the slow path.

There're two writeback interfaces to modify: test_{clear/set}_page_writeback().
And the lock order is:
	--> memcg->move_lock
	  --> mapping->tree_lock

We should call mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() before
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() to get proper locks, however the latter
doesn't do any checking that we use proper locking, which would be hard.
Suggested by Michal Hock we could at least test for rcu_read_lock_held()
because RCU is held if !mem_cgroup_disabled().

Johannes Weiner 3812c8c8f3 mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full callstack on OOM
The memcg OOM handling is incredibly fragile and can deadlock.  When a
task fails to charge memory, it invokes the OOM killer and loops right
there in the charge code until it succeeds.  Comparably, any other task
that enters the charge path at this point will go to a waitqueue right
then and there and sleep until the OOM situation is resolved.  The problem
is that these tasks may hold filesystem locks and the mmap_sem; locks that
the selected OOM victim may need to exit.

For example, in one reported case, the task invoking the OOM killer was
about to charge a page cache page during a write(), which holds the
i_mutex.  The OOM killer selected a task that was just entering truncate()
and trying to acquire the i_mutex:

OOM invoking task:
  mem_cgroup_handle_oom+0x241/0x3b0
  mem_cgroup_cache_charge+0xbe/0xe0
  add_to_page_cache_locked+0x4c/0x140
  add_to_page_cache_lru+0x22/0x50
  grab_cache_page_write_begin+0x8b/0xe0
  ext3_write_begin+0x88/0x270
  generic_file_buffered_write+0x116/0x290
  __generic_file_aio_write+0x27c/0x480
  generic_file_aio_write+0x76/0xf0           # takes ->i_mutex
  do_sync_write+0xea/0x130
  vfs_write+0xf3/0x1f0
  sys_write+0x51/0x90
  system_call_fastpath+0x18/0x1d

OOM kill victim:
  do_truncate+0x58/0xa0              # takes i_mutex
  do_last+0x250/0xa30
  path_openat+0xd7/0x440
  do_filp_open+0x49/0xa0
  do_sys_open+0x106/0x240
  sys_open+0x20/0x30
  system_call_fastpath+0x18/0x1d

The OOM handling task will retry the charge indefinitely while the OOM
killed task is not releasing any resources.

A similar scenario can happen when the kernel OOM killer for a memcg is
disabled and a userspace task is in charge of resolving OOM situations.
In this case, ALL tasks that enter the OOM path will be made to sleep on
the OOM waitqueue and wait for userspace to free resources or increase
the group's limit.  But a userspace OOM handler is prone to deadlock
itself on the locks held by the waiting tasks.  For example one of the
sleeping tasks may be stuck in a brk() call with the mmap_sem held for
writing but the userspace handler, in order to pick an optimal victim,
may need to read files from /proc/<pid>, which tries to acquire the same
mmap_sem for reading and deadlocks.

This patch changes the way tasks behave after detecting a memcg OOM and
makes sure nobody loops or sleeps with locks held:

1. When OOMing in a user fault, invoke the OOM killer and restart the
   fault instead of looping on the charge attempt.  This way, the OOM
   victim can not get stuck on locks the looping task may hold.

2. When OOMing in a user fault but somebody else is handling it
   (either the kernel OOM killer or a userspace handler), don't go to
   sleep in the charge context.  Instead, remember the OOMing memcg in
   the task struct and then fully unwind the page fault stack with
   -ENOMEM.  pagefault_out_of_memory() will then call back into the
   memcg code to check if the -ENOMEM came from the memcg, and then
   either put the task to sleep on the memcg's OOM waitqueue or just
   restart the fault.  The OOM victim can no longer get stuck on any
   lock a sleeping task may hold.

Johannes Weiner fb2a6fc56b mm: memcg: rework and document OOM waiting and wakeup
The memcg OOM handler open-codes a sleeping lock for OOM serialization
(trylock, wait, repeat) because the required locking is so specific to
memcg hierarchies.  However, it would be nice if this construct would be
clearly recognizable and not be as obfuscated as it is right now.  Clean
up as follows:

1. Remove the return value of mem_cgroup_oom_unlock()

2. Rename mem_cgroup_oom_lock() to mem_cgroup_oom_trylock().

3. Pull the prepare_to_wait() out of the memcg_oom_lock scope.  This
   makes it more obvious that the task has to be on the waitqueue
   before attempting to OOM-trylock the hierarchy, to not miss any
   wakeups before going to sleep.  It just didn't matter until now
   because it was all lumped together into the global memcg_oom_lock
   spinlock section.

4. Pull the mem_cgroup_oom_notify() out of the memcg_oom_lock scope.
   It is proctected by the hierarchical OOM-lock.

5. The memcg_oom_lock spinlock is only required to propagate the OOM
   lock in any given hierarchy atomically.  Restrict its scope to
   mem_cgroup_oom_(trylock|unlock).

6. Do not wake up the waitqueue unconditionally at the end of the
   function.  Only the lockholder has to wake up the next in line
   after releasing the lock.

   Note that the lockholder kicks off the OOM-killer, which in turn
   leads to wakeups from the uncharges of the exiting task.  But a
   contender is not guaranteed to see them if it enters the OOM path
   after the OOM kills but before the lockholder releases the lock.
   Thus there has to be an explicit wakeup after releasing the lock.

7. Put the OOM task on the waitqueue before marking the hierarchy as
   under OOM as that is the point where we start to receive wakeups.
   No point in listening before being on the waitqueue.

8. Likewise, unmark the hierarchy before finishing the sleep, for
   symmetry.

Michal Hocko 1be171d60b memcg: track all children over limit in the root
Children in soft limit excess are currently tracked up the hierarchy in
memcg->children_in_excess.  Nevertheless there still might exist tons of
groups that are not in hierarchy relation to the root cgroup (e.g.  all
first level groups if root_mem_cgroup->use_hierarchy == false).

As the whole tree walk has to be done when the iteration starts at
root_mem_cgroup the iterator should be able to skip the walk if there is
no child above the limit without iterating them.  This can be done
easily if the root tracks all children rather than only hierarchical
children.  This is done by this patch which updates root_mem_cgroup
children_in_excess if root_mem_cgroup->use_hierarchy == false so the
root knows about all children in excess.

Please note that this is not an issue for inner memcgs which have
use_hierarchy == false because then only the single group is visited so
no special optimization is necessary.

Michal Hocko e839b6a1c8 memcg, vmscan: do not attempt soft limit reclaim if it would not scan anything
mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim controls whether soft reclaim pass is
done and it always says yes currently.  Memcg iterators are clever to
skip nodes that are not soft reclaimable quite efficiently but
mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim can be more clever and do not start the
soft reclaim pass at all if it knows that nothing would be scanned
anyway.

In order to do that, simply reuse mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible for
the target group of the reclaim and allow the pass only if the whole
subtree wouldn't be skipped.

Michal Hocko 7d910c054b memcg: track children in soft limit excess to improve soft limit
Soft limit reclaim has to check the whole reclaim hierarchy while doing
the first pass of the reclaim.  This leads to a higher system time which
can be visible especially when there are many groups in the hierarchy.

This patch adds a per-memcg counter of children in excess.  It also
restores MEM_CGROUP_TARGET_SOFTLIMIT into mem_cgroup_event_ratelimit for a
proper batching.

If a group crosses soft limit for the first time it increases parent's
children_in_excess up the hierarchy.  The similarly if a group gets below
the limit it will decrease the counter.  The transition phase is recorded
in soft_contributed flag.

mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible then uses this information to better
decide whether to skip the node or the whole subtree.  The rule is simple.
 Skip the node with a children in excess or skip the whole subtree
otherwise.

This has been tested by a stream IO (dd if=/dev/zero of=file with
4*MemTotal size) which is quite sensitive to overhead during reclaim.  The
load is running in a group with soft limit set to 0 and without any limit.
 Apart from that there was a hierarchy with ~500, 2k and 8k groups (two
groups on each level) without any pages in them.  base denotes to the
kernel on which the whole series is based on, rework is the kernel before
this patch and reworkoptim is with this patch applied:

System time is increased by 30-40% but it is reduced a lot comparing to
kernel without this patch.  The higher time can be explained by the fact
that the original soft reclaim scanned at priority 0 so it was much more
effective for this workload (which is basically touch once and writeback).
 The Elapsed time looks better though (~20%).

Both System and Elapsed are in stdev with the base kernel for all
configurations except for 8k where both System and Elapsed are up by 35%.
I do not have a good explanation for this because there is no soft reclaim
pass going on as no group is above the limit which is checked in
mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim.

Then I have tested kernel build with the same configuration to see the
behavior with a more general behavior.

Michal Hocko de57780dc6 memcg: enhance memcg iterator to support predicates
The caller of the iterator might know that some nodes or even subtrees
should be skipped but there is no way to tell iterators about that so the
only choice left is to let iterators to visit each node and do the
selection outside of the iterating code.  This, however, doesn't scale
well with hierarchies with many groups where only few groups are
interesting.

This patch adds mem_cgroup_iter_cond variant of the iterator with a
callback which gets called for every visited node.  There are three
possible ways how the callback can influence the walk.  Either the node is
visited, it is skipped but the tree walk continues down the tree or the
whole subtree of the current group is skipped.

Michal Hocko a5b7c87f92 vmscan, memcg: do softlimit reclaim also for targeted reclaim
Soft reclaim has been done only for the global reclaim (both background
and direct).  Since "memcg: integrate soft reclaim tighter with zone
shrinking code" there is no reason for this limitation anymore as the soft
limit reclaim doesn't use any special code paths and it is a part of the
zone shrinking code which is used by both global and targeted reclaims.

From the semantic point of view it is natural to consider soft limit
before touching all groups in the hierarchy tree which is touching the
hard limit because soft limit tells us where to push back when there is a
memory pressure.  It is not important whether the pressure comes from the
limit or imbalanced zones.

This patch simply enables soft reclaim unconditionally in
mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim so it is enabled for both global and
targeted reclaim paths.  mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible needs to learn
about the root of the reclaim to know where to stop checking soft limit
state of parents up the hierarchy.  Say we have

A (over soft limit)
 \
  B (below s.l., hit the hard limit)
 / \
C   D (below s.l.)

B is the source of the outside memory pressure now for D but we shouldn't
soft reclaim it because it is behaving well under B subtree and we can
still reclaim from C (pressumably it is over the limit).
mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible should therefore stop climbing up the
hierarchy at B (root of the memory pressure).

Michal Hocko 3b38722efd memcg, vmscan: integrate soft reclaim tighter with zone shrinking code
This patchset is sitting out of tree for quite some time without any
objections.  I would be really happy if it made it into 3.12.  I do not
want to push it too hard but I think this work is basically ready and
waiting more doesn't help.

The basic idea is quite simple.  Pull soft reclaim into shrink_zone in the
first step and get rid of the previous soft reclaim infrastructure.
shrink_zone is done in two passes now.  First it tries to do the soft
limit reclaim and it falls back to reclaim-all mode if no group is over
the limit or no pages have been scanned.  The second pass happens at the
same priority so the only time we waste is the memcg tree walk which has
been updated in the third step to have only negligible overhead.

As a bonus we will get rid of a _lot_ of code by this and soft reclaim
will not stand out like before when it wasn't integrated into the zone
shrinking code and it reclaimed at priority 0 (the testing results show
that some workloads suffers from such an aggressive reclaim).  The clean
up is in a separate patch because I felt it would be easier to review that
way.

The second step is soft limit reclaim integration into targeted reclaim.
It should be rather straight forward.  Soft limit has been used only for
the global reclaim so far but it makes sense for any kind of pressure
coming from up-the-hierarchy, including targeted reclaim.

The third step (patches 4-8) addresses the tree walk overhead by enhancing
memcg iterators to enable skipping whole subtrees and tracking number of
over soft limit children at each level of the hierarchy.  This information
is updated same way the old soft limit tree was updated (from
memcg_check_events) so we shouldn't see an additional overhead.  In fact
mem_cgroup_update_soft_limit is much simpler than tree manipulation done
previously.

__shrink_zone uses mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible as a predicate for
mem_cgroup_iter so the decision whether a particular group should be
visited is done at the iterator level which allows us to decide to skip
the whole subtree as well (if there is no child in excess).  This reduces
the tree walk overhead considerably.

* TEST 1
========

My primary test case was a parallel kernel build with 2 groups (make is
running with -j8 with a distribution .config in a separate cgroup without
any hard limit) on a 32 CPU machine booted with 1GB memory and both builds
run taskset to Node 0 cpus.

I was mostly interested in 2 setups.  Default - no soft limit set and -
and 0 soft limit set to both groups.  The first one should tell us whether
the rework regresses the default behavior while the second one should show
us improvements in an extreme case where both workloads are always over
the soft limit.

/usr/bin/time -v has been used to collect the statistics and each
configuration had 3 runs after fresh boot without any other load on the
system.

The improvement is really huge here (even bigger than with my previous
testing and I suspect that this highly depends on the storage).  Page
fault statistics tell us at least part of the story:

Same as with my previous testing Minor faults are more or less within
noise but Major fault count is way bellow the base kernel.

While this looks as a nice win it is fair to say that 0-limit
configuration is quite artificial. So I was playing with 0-no-limit
loads as well.

* TEST 2
========

The following results are from 2 groups configuration on a 16GB machine
(single NUMA node).

- A running stream IO (dd if=/dev/zero of=local.file bs=1024) with
  2*TotalMem with 0 soft limit.
- B running a mem_eater which consumes TotalMem-1G without any limit. The
  mem_eater consumes the memory in 100 chunks with 1s nap after each
  mmap+poppulate so that both loads have chance to fight for the memory.

The expected result is that B shouldn't be reclaimed and A shouldn't see
a big dropdown in elapsed time.

rework: min: 281.53 [88.7%] max: 298.16 [89.7%] avg: 290.99 [89.3%] std: 6.98 runs: 3

System time improved slightly as well as Elapsed. My previous testing
has shown worse numbers but this again seem to depend on the storage
speed.

My theory is that the writeback doesn't catch up and prio-0 soft reclaim
falls into wait on writeback page too often in the base kernel. The
patched kernel doesn't do that because the soft reclaim is done from the
kswapd/direct reclaim context. This can be seen on the following graph
nicely. The A's group usage_in_bytes regurarly drops really low very often.

All 3 runs
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/stream.png
resp. a detail of the single run
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/stream-one-run.png

mem_eater seems to be doing better as well. It gets to the full
allocation size faster as can be seen on the following graph:
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/mem_eater-one-run.png

/proc/meminfo collected during the test also shows that rework kernel
hasn't swapped that much (well almost not at all):
base: max: 123900 K avg: 56388.29 K
rework: max: 300 K avg: 128.68 K

kswapd and direct reclaim statistics are of no use unfortunatelly because
soft reclaim is not accounted properly as the counters are hidden by
global_reclaim() checks in the base kernel.

* TEST 3
========

Another test was the same configuration as TEST2 except the stream IO was
replaced by a single kbuild (16 parallel jobs bound to Node0 cpus same as
in TEST1) and mem_eater allocated TotalMem-200M so kbuild had only 200MB
left.

Kbuild did better with the rework kernel here as well:

Again we can see a significant improvement in Elapsed (it also seems to
be more stable), there is a huge dropdown for the Major page faults and
much more swapping:
base: max: 583736 K avg: 112547.43 K
rework: max: 4012 K avg: 124.36 K

Graphs from all three runs show the variability of the kbuild quite
nicely.  It even seems that it took longer after every run with the base
kernel which would be quite surprising as the source tree for the build is
removed and caches are dropped after each run so the build operates on a
freshly extracted sources everytime.
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/kbuild-mem_eater.png

My other testing shows that this is just a matter of timing and other runs
behave differently the std for Elapsed time is similar ~50.  Example of
other three runs:
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/kbuild-mem_eater2.png

So to wrap this up.  The series is still doing good and improves the soft
limit.

The testing results for bunch of cgroups with both stream IO and kbuild
loads can be found in "memcg: track children in soft limit excess to
improve soft limit".

This patch:

Memcg soft reclaim has been traditionally triggered from the global
reclaim paths before calling shrink_zone.  mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim
then picked up a group which exceeds the soft limit the most and reclaimed
it with 0 priority to reclaim at least SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages.

The infrastructure requires per-node-zone trees which hold over-limit
groups and keep them up-to-date (via memcg_check_events) which is not cost
free.  Although this overhead hasn't turned out to be a bottle neck the
implementation is suboptimal because mem_cgroup_update_tree has no idea
which zones consumed memory over the limit so we could easily end up
having a group on a node-zone tree having only few pages from that
node-zone.

This patch doesn't try to fix node-zone trees management because it seems
that integrating soft reclaim into zone shrinking sounds much easier and
more appropriate for several reasons.  First of all 0 priority reclaim was
a crude hack which might lead to big stalls if the group's LRUs are big
and hard to reclaim (e.g.  a lot of dirty/writeback pages).  Soft reclaim
should be applicable also to the targeted reclaim which is awkward right
now without additional hacks.  Last but not least the whole infrastructure
eats quite some code.

After this patch shrink_zone is done in 2 passes.  First it tries to do
the soft reclaim if appropriate (only for global reclaim for now to keep
compatible with the original state) and fall back to ignoring soft limit
if no group is eligible to soft reclaim or nothing has been scanned during
the first pass.  Only groups which are over their soft limit or any of
their parents up the hierarchy is over the limit are considered eligible
during the first pass.

Soft limit tree which is not necessary anymore will be removed in the
follow up patch to make this patch smaller and easier to review.

Greg Thelen 2bff24a370 memcg: fix multiple large threshold notifications
A memory cgroup with (1) multiple threshold notifications and (2) at least
one threshold >=2G was not reliable.  Specifically the notifications would
either not fire or would not fire in the proper order.

The __mem_cgroup_threshold() signaling logic depends on keeping 64 bit
thresholds in sorted order.  mem_cgroup_usage_register_event() sorts them
with compare_thresholds(), which returns the difference of two 64 bit
thresholds as an int.  If the difference is positive but has bit[31] set,
then sort() treats the difference as negative and breaks sort order.

This fix compares the two arbitrary 64 bit thresholds returning the
classic -1, 0, 1 result.

The test below sets two notifications (at 0x1000 and 0x81001000):
  cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
  mkdir x
  for x in 4096 2164264960; do
    cgroup_event_listener x/memory.usage_in_bytes $x | sed "s/^/$x listener:/" &
  done
  echo $$ > x/cgroup.procs
  anon_leaker 500M

v3.11-rc7 fails to signal the 4096 event listener:
  Leaking...
  Done leaking pages.

Patched v3.11-rc7 properly notifies:
  Leaking...
  4096 listener:2013:8:31:14:13:36
  Done leaking pages.

The fixed bug is old.  It appears to date back to the introduction of
memcg threshold notifications in v2.6.34-rc1-116-g2e72b6347c94 "memcg:
implement memory thresholds"

The memcg_cache_params structure contains the common part and the union,
which represents two different types of data: one for root cashes and
another for child caches.

The size of child data is fixed.  The size of the memcg_caches array is
calculated in runtime.

Currently the size of memcg_cache_params for root caches is calculated
incorrectly, because it includes the size of parameters for child caches.

ssize_t size = memcg_caches_array_size(num_groups);
size *= sizeof(void *);

size += sizeof(struct memcg_cache_params);

Linus Torvalds 32dad03d16 Merge branch 'for-3.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on the cgroup front.  Most changes aren't visible
  to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the
  planned unified hierarchy.

   - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css
     (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's.  Because controllers
     (cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled
     and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup
     and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of
     a cgroup.  Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup
     was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed.

     Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup
     core and controllers.  These assumptions are gradually removed,
     which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is
     completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path.  Note that
     decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these
     changes and the patchset is pending for the next window.

   - cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is
     only used by memcg.  It is overly complex trying to achieve high
     flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best.  Going forward,
     new events will simply generate file modified event and the
     existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg.  This pull
     request contains prepatory patches for such change.

   - Various fixes and cleanups"

Tejun Heo bd8815a6d8 cgroup: make css_for_each_descendant() and friends include the origin css in the iteration
Previously, all css descendant iterators didn't include the origin
(root of subtree) css in the iteration.  The reasons were maintaining
consistency with css_for_each_child() and that at the time of
introduction more use cases needed skipping the origin anyway;
however, given that css_is_descendant() considers self to be a
descendant, omitting the origin css has become more confusing and
looking at the accumulated use cases rather clearly indicates that
including origin would result in simpler code overall.

While this is a change which can easily lead to subtle bugs, cgroup
API including the iterators has recently gone through major
restructuring and no out-of-tree changes will be applicable without
adjustments making this a relatively acceptable opportunity for this
type of change.

The conversions are mostly straight-forward.  If the iteration block
had explicit origin handling before or after, it's moved inside the
iteration.  If not, if (pos == origin) continue; is added.  Some
conversions add extra reference get/put around origin handling by
consolidating origin handling and the rest.  While the extra ref
operations aren't strictly necessary, this shouldn't cause any
noticeable difference.

cftype->[un]register_event() is among the remaining couple interfaces

This patch converts task iterators to deal with css instead of cgroup.
Note that under unified hierarchy, different sets of tasks will be
considered belonging to a given cgroup depending on the subsystem in
question and making the iterators deal with css instead cgroup
provides them with enough information about the iteration.

Tejun Heo 492eb21b98 cgroup: make hierarchy iterators deal with cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup
cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using css
(cgroup_subsys_state) as the primary handle instead of cgroup in
subsystem API.  For hierarchy iterators, this is beneficial because

* In most cases, css is the only thing subsystems care about anyway.

* On the planned unified hierarchy, iterations for different
  subsystems will need to skip over different subtrees of the
  hierarchy depending on which subsystems are enabled on each cgroup.
  Passing around css makes it unnecessary to explicitly specify the
  subsystem in question as css is intersection between cgroup and
  subsystem

* For the planned unified hierarchy, css's would need to be created
  and destroyed dynamically independent from cgroup hierarchy.  Having
  cgroup core manage css iteration makes enforcing deref rules a lot
  easier.

Most subsystem conversions are straight-forward.  Noteworthy changes
are

* blkio: cgroup_to_blkcg() is no longer used.  Removed.

* freezer: cgroup_freezer() is no longer used.  Removed.

* devices: cgroup_to_devcgroup() is no longer used.  Removed.

Tejun Heo 182446d087 cgroup: pass around cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup in file methods
cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct
cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup.
Please see the previous commit which converts the subsystem methods
for rationale.

This patch converts all cftype file operations to take @css instead of
@cgroup.  cftypes for the cgroup core files don't have their subsytem
pointer set.  These will automatically use the dummy_css added by the
previous patch and can be converted the same way.

Most subsystem conversions are straight forwards but there are some
interesting ones.

* freezer: update_if_frozen() is also converted to take @css instead
  of @cgroup for consistency.  This will make the code look simpler
  too once iterators are converted to use css.

* memory/vmpressure: mem_cgroup_from_css() needs to be exported to
  vmpressure while mem_cgroup_from_cont() can be made static.
  Updated accordingly.

* cpu: cgroup_tg() doesn't have any user left.  Removed.

* cpuacct: cgroup_ca() doesn't have any user left.  Removed.

* hugetlb: hugetlb_cgroup_form_cgroup() doesn't have any user left.
  Removed.

* net_cls: cgrp_cls_state() doesn't have any user left.  Removed.

Tejun Heo eb95419b02 cgroup: pass around cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup in subsystem methods
cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct
cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup *
in subsystem implementations for the following reasons.

* With unified hierarchy, subsystems will be dynamically bound and
  unbound from cgroups and thus css's (cgroup_subsys_state) may be
  created and destroyed dynamically over the lifetime of a cgroup,
  which is different from the current state where all css's are
  allocated and destroyed together with the associated cgroup.  This
  in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may
  return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use.

* Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified
  hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave
  differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is
  being performed for.

* In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the
  cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's.  Subsystem methods
  often obtain the matching css pointer from the cgroup and don't
  bother with the cgroup pointer itself.  Passing around css fits
  much better.

This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of
@cgroup.  The conversions are mostly straight-forward.  A few
noteworthy changes are

* ->css_alloc() now takes css of the parent cgroup rather than the
  pointer to the new cgroup as the css for the new cgroup doesn't
  exist yet.  Knowing the parent css is enough for all the existing
  subsystems.

* In kernel/cgroup.c::offline_css(), unnecessary open coded css
  dereference is replaced with local variable access.

This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

v2: Unnecessary explicit cgrp->subsys[] deref in css_online() replaced
    with local variable @css as suggested by Li Zefan.

    Rebased on top of new for-3.12 which includes for-3.11-fixes so
    that ->css_free() invocation added by da0a12caff ("cgroup: fix a
    leak when percpu_ref_init() fails") is converted too.  Suggested
    by Li Zefan.

Tejun Heo 6387698699 cgroup: add css_parent()
Currently, controllers have to explicitly follow the cgroup hierarchy
to find the parent of a given css.  cgroup is moving towards using
cgroup_subsys_state as the main controller interface construct, so
let's provide a way to climb the hierarchy using just csses.

This patch implements css_parent() which, given a css, returns its
parent.  The function is guarnateed to valid non-NULL parent css as
long as the target css is not at the top of the hierarchy.

freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct, hugetlb, memory, net_cls and devices
are converted to use css_parent() instead of accessing cgroup->parent
directly.

* __parent_ca() is dropped from cpuacct and its usage is replaced with
  parent_ca().  The only difference between the two was NULL test on
  cgroup->parent which is now embedded in css_parent() making the
  distinction moot.  Note that eventually a css->parent field will be
  added to css and the NULL check in css_parent() will go away.

This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

Tejun Heo a7c6d554aa cgroup: add/update accessors which obtain subsys specific data from css
css (cgroup_subsys_state) is usually embedded in a subsys specific
data structure.  Subsystems either use container_of() directly to cast
from css to such data structure or has an accessor function wrapping
such cast.  As cgroup as whole is moving towards using css as the main
interface handle, add and update such accessors to ease dealing with
css's.

All accessors explicitly handle NULL input and return NULL in those
cases.  While this looks like an extra branch in the code, as all
controllers specific data structures have css as the first field, the
casting doesn't involve any offsetting and the compiler can trivially
optimize out the branch.

* blkio, freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct and net_cls didn't have such
  accessor.  Added.

* memory, hugetlb and devices already had one but didn't explicitly
  handle NULL input.  Updated.

Tejun Heo 8af01f56a0 cgroup: s/cgroup_subsys_state/cgroup_css/ s/task_subsys_state/task_css/
The names of the two struct cgroup_subsys_state accessors -
cgroup_subsys_state() and task_subsys_state() - are somewhat awkward.
The former clashes with the type name and the latter doesn't even
indicate it's somehow related to cgroup.

We're about to revamp large portion of cgroup API, so, let's rename
them so that they're less awkward.  Most per-controller usages of the
accessors are localized in accessor wrappers and given the amount of
scheduled changes, this isn't gonna add any noticeable headache.

Rename cgroup_subsys_state() to cgroup_css() and task_subsys_state()
to task_css().  This patch is pure rename.

Michal Hocko 33cb876e94 vmpressure: make sure there are no events queued after memcg is offlined
vmpressure is called synchronously from reclaim where the target_memcg
is guaranteed to be alive but the eventfd is signaled from the work
queue context.  This means that memcg (along with vmpressure structure
which is embedded into it) might go away while the work item is pending
which would result in use-after-release bug.

We have two possible ways how to fix this.  Either vmpressure pins memcg
before it schedules vmpr->work and unpin it in vmpressure_work_fn or
explicitely flush the work item from the css_offline context (as
suggested by Tejun).

This patch implements the later one and it introduces vmpressure_cleanup
which flushes the vmpressure work queue item item.  It hooks into
mem_cgroup_css_offline after the memcg itself is cleaned up.

Paul Gortmaker 0db0628d90 kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel files
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

Use css_get/put instead of mem_cgroup_get/put.  A simple replacement
will do.

The historical reason that memcg has its own refcnt instead of always
using css_get/put, is that cgroup couldn't be removed if there're still
css refs, so css refs can't be used as long-lived reference.  The
situation has changed so that rmdir a cgroup will succeed regardless css
refs, but won't be freed until css refs goes down to 0.

Use css_get/put instead of mem_cgroup_get/put.

We can't do a simple replacement, because here mem_cgroup_put() is
called during mem_cgroup_css_free(), while mem_cgroup_css_free() won't
be called until css refcnt goes down to 0.

Instead we increment css refcnt in mem_cgroup_css_offline(), and then
check if there's still kmem charges.  If not, css refcnt will be
decremented immediately, otherwise the refcnt will be released after the
last kmem allocation is uncahred.

Li Zefan 20f05310ba memcg: don't use mem_cgroup_get() when creating a kmemcg cache
Use css_get()/css_put() instead of mem_cgroup_get()/mem_cgroup_put().

There are two things being done in the current code:

First, we acquired a css_ref to make sure that the underlying cgroup
would not go away.  That is a short lived reference, and it is put as
soon as the cache is created.

At this point, we acquire a long-lived per-cache memcg reference count
to guarantee that the memcg will still be alive.

so it is:

  enqueue: css_get
  create : memcg_get, css_put
  destroy: memcg_put

So we only need to get rid of the memcg_get, change the memcg_put to
css_put, and get rid of the now extra css_put.

Michal Hocko f37a96914d memcg, kmem: fix reference count handling on the error path
mem_cgroup_css_online calls mem_cgroup_put if memcg_init_kmem fails.
This is not correct because only memcg_propagate_kmem takes an
additional reference while mem_cgroup_sockets_init is allowed to fail as
well (although no current implementation fails) but it doesn't take any
reference.  This all suggests that it should be memcg_propagate_kmem
that should clean up after itself so this patch moves mem_cgroup_put
over there.

Unfortunately this is not that easy (as pointed out by Li Zefan) because
memcg_kmem_mark_dead marks the group dead (KMEM_ACCOUNTED_DEAD) if it is
marked active (KMEM_ACCOUNTED_ACTIVE) which is the case even if
memcg_propagate_kmem fails so the additional reference is dropped in
that case in kmem_cgroup_destroy which means that the reference would be
dropped two times.

The easiest way then would be to simply remove mem_cgrroup_put from
mem_cgroup_css_online and rely on kmem_cgroup_destroy doing the right
thing.

Glauber Costa 6d42c232bd memcg: also test for skip accounting at the page allocation level
The memory we used to hold the memcg arrays is currently accounted to
the current memcg.  But that creates a problem, because that memory can
only be freed after the last user is gone.  Our only way to know which
is the last user, is to hook up to freeing time, but the fact that we
still have some in flight kmallocs will prevent freeing to happen.  I
believe therefore to be just easier to account this memory as global
overhead.

This patch (of 2):

Disabling accounting is only relevant for some specific memcg internal
allocations.  Therefore we would initially not have such check at
memcg_kmem_newpage_charge, since direct calls to the page allocator that
are marked with GFP_KMEMCG only happen outside memcg core.  We are
mostly concerned with cache allocations and by having this test at
memcg_kmem_get_cache we are already able to relay the allocation to the
root cache and bypass the memcg caches altogether.

There is one exception, though: the SLUB allocator does not create large
order caches, but rather service large kmallocs directly from the page
allocator.  Therefore, the following sequence, when backed by the SLUB
allocator:

	memcg_stop_kmem_account();
	kmalloc(<large_number>)
	memcg_resume_kmem_account();

would effectively ignore the fact that we should skip accounting, since
it will drive us directly to this function without passing through the
cache selector memcg_kmem_get_cache.  Such large allocations are
extremely rare but can happen, for instance, for the cache arrays.

This was never a problem in practice, because we weren't skipping
accounting for the cache arrays.  All the allocations we were skipping
were fairly small.  However, the fact that we were not skipping those
allocations are a problem and can prevent the memcgs from going away.
As we fix that, we need to make sure that the fix will also work with
the SLUB allocator.

David Rientjes ffbdccf5e1 mm, memcg: don't take task_lock in task_in_mem_cgroup
For processes that have detached their mm's, task_in_mem_cgroup()
unnecessarily takes task_lock() when rcu_read_lock() is all that is
necessary to call mem_cgroup_from_task().

While we're here, switch task_in_mem_cgroup() to return bool.

Johannes Weiner 89dc991f0f mm: memcontrol: fix lockless reclaim hierarchy iterator
The lockless reclaim hierarchy iterator currently has a misplaced
barrier that can lead to use-after-free crashes.

The reclaim hierarchy iterator consist of a sequence count and a
position pointer that are read and written locklessly, with memory
barriers enforcing ordering.

The write side sets the position pointer first, then updates the
sequence count to "publish" the new position.  Likewise, the read side
must read the sequence count first, then the position.  If the sequence
count is up to date, it's guaranteed that the position is up to date as
well:

  writer:                         reader:
  iter->position = position       if iter->sequence == expected:
  smp_wmb()                           smp_rmb()
  iter->sequence = sequence           position = iter->position

However, the read side barrier is currently misplaced, which can lead to
dereferencing stale position pointers that no longer point to valid
memory.  Fix this.

Johannes Weiner 28ccddf795 mm: memcg: remove incorrect VM_BUG_ON for swap cache pages in uncharge
Commit 0c59b89c81 ("mm: memcg: push down PageSwapCache check into
uncharge entry functions") added a VM_BUG_ON() on PageSwapCache in the
uncharge path after checking that page flag once, assuming that the
state is stable in all paths, but this is not the case and the condition
triggers in user environments.  An uncharge after the last page table
reference to the page goes away can race with reclaim adding the page to
swap cache.

Swap cache pages are usually uncharged when they are freed after
swapout, from a path that also handles swap usage accounting and memcg
lifetime management.  However, since the last page table reference is
gone and thus no references to the swap slot left, the swap slot will be
freed shortly when reclaim attempts to write the page to disk.  The
whole swap accounting is not even necessary.

So while the race condition for which this VM_BUG_ON was added is real
and actually existed all along, there are no negative effects.  Remove
the VM_BUG_ON again.

Linus Torvalds 191a712090 Merge branch 'for-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Fixes and a lot of cleanups.  Locking cleanup is finally complete.
   cgroup_mutex is no longer exposed to individual controlelrs which
   used to cause nasty deadlock issues.  Li fixed and cleaned up quite a
   bit including long standing ones like racy cgroup_path().

 - device cgroup now supports proper hierarchy thanks to Aristeu.

 - perf_event cgroup now supports proper hierarchy.

 - A new mount option "__DEVEL__sane_behavior" is added.  As indicated
   by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this
   point and generates a warning message when used.  Unfortunately,
   cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies
   to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top.  The new flag
   is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to
   implement consistent unified hierarchy.  It's likely that this flag
   won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled
   implicitly along with unified hierarchy.

   The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core
   and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm),
   which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is
   partially honored.  It will also be used to implement hierarchy
   support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without
   introducing a full separate set of control knobs.

   This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but
   at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping
   the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which
   is at least somewhat sane.  The planned unified hierarchy is likely
   to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think
   it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that
   it's supportable in the long term.

   Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but
   shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think
   it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future.  Maybe we'll be able
   to drop it in a decade.

Fix up conflicts (including a semantic one adding a new #include to ppc
that was uncovered by header the file changes) as per Tejun.

after we exit rcu read section, so it's not safe to access it.

David Rientjes 465adcf1ea mm, memcg: give exiting processes access to memory reserves
A memcg may livelock when oom if the process that grabs the hierarchy's
oom lock is never the first process with PF_EXITING set in the memcg's
task iteration.

The oom killer, both global and memcg, will defer if it finds an
eligible process that is in the process of exiting and it is not being
ptraced.  The idea is to allow it to exit without using memory reserves
before needlessly killing another process.

This normally works fine except in the memcg case with a large number of
threads attached to the oom memcg.  In this case, the memcg oom killer
only gets called for the process that grabs the hierarchy's oom lock;
all others end up blocked on the memcg's oom waitqueue.  Thus, if the
process that grabs the hierarchy's oom lock is never the first
PF_EXITING process in the memcg's task iteration, the oom killer is
constantly deferred without anything making progress.

The fix is to give PF_EXITING processes access to memory reserves so
that we've marked them as oom killed without any iteration.  This allows
__mem_cgroup_try_charge() to succeed so that the process may exit.  This
makes the memcg oom killer exemption for TIF_MEMDIE tasks, now
immediately granted for processes with pending SIGKILLs and those in the
exit path, to be equivalent to what is done for the global oom killer.

Anton Vorontsov 70ddf637ee memcg: add memory.pressure_level events
With this patch userland applications that want to maintain the
interactivity/memory allocation cost can use the pressure level
notifications.  The levels are defined like this:

The "low" level means that the system is reclaiming memory for new
allocations.  Monitoring this reclaiming activity might be useful for
maintaining cache level.  Upon notification, the program (typically
"Activity Manager") might analyze vmstat and act in advance (i.e.
prematurely shutdown unimportant services).

The "medium" level means that the system is experiencing medium memory
pressure, the system might be making swap, paging out active file
caches, etc.  Upon this event applications may decide to further analyze
vmstat/zoneinfo/memcg or internal memory usage statistics and free any
resources that can be easily reconstructed or re-read from a disk.

The "critical" level means that the system is actively thrashing, it is
about to out of memory (OOM) or even the in-kernel OOM killer is on its
way to trigger.  Applications should do whatever they can to help the
system.  It might be too late to consult with vmstat or any other
statistics, so it's advisable to take an immediate action.

The events are propagated upward until the event is handled, i.e.  the
events are not pass-through.  Here is what this means: for example you
have three cgroups: A->B->C.  Now you set up an event listener on
cgroups A, B and C, and suppose group C experiences some pressure.  In
this situation, only group C will receive the notification, i.e.  groups
A and B will not receive it.  This is done to avoid excessive
"broadcasting" of messages, which disturbs the system and which is
especially bad if we are low on memory or thrashing.  So, organize the
cgroups wisely, or propagate the events manually (or, ask us to
implement the pass-through events, explaining why would you need them.)

Performance wise, the memory pressure notifications feature itself is
lightweight and does not require much of bookkeeping, in contrast to the
rest of memcg features.  Unfortunately, as of current memcg
implementation, pages accounting is an inseparable part and cannot be
turned off.  The good news is that there are some efforts[1] to improve
the situation; plus, implementing the same, fully API-compatible[2]
interface for CONFIG_MEMCG=n case (e.g.  embedded) is also a viable
option, so it will not require any changes on the userland side.

mem_cgroup_iter basically does two things currently.  It takes care of
the house keeping (reference counting, raclaim cookie) and it iterates
through a hierarchy tree (by using cgroup generic tree walk).  The code
would be much more easier to follow if we move the iteration outside of
the function (to __mem_cgrou_iter_next) so the distinction is more
clear.  This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

Michal Hocko 19f3940286 memcg: simplify mem_cgroup_iter
The current implementation of mem_cgroup_iter has to consider both css
and memcg to find out whether no group has been found (css==NULL - aka
the loop is completed) and that no memcg is associated with the found
node (!memcg - aka css_tryget failed because the group is no longer
alive).  This leads to awkward tweaks like tests for css && !memcg to
skip the current node.

It will be much easier if we got rid off css variable altogether and
only rely on memcg.  In order to do that the iteration part has to skip
dead nodes.  This sounds natural to me and as a nice side effect we will
get a simple invariant that memcg is always alive when non-NULL and all
nodes have been visited otherwise.

We could get rid of the surrounding while loop but keep it in for now to
make review easier.  It will go away in the following patch.

Michal Hocko 5f57816197 memcg: relax memcg iter caching
Now that the per-node-zone-priority iterator caches memory cgroups
rather than their css ids we have to be careful and remove them from the
iterator when they are on the way out otherwise they might live for
unbounded amount of time even though their group is already gone (until
the global/targeted reclaim triggers the zone under priority to find out
the group is dead and let it to find the final rest).

We can fix this issue by relaxing rules for the last_visited memcg.
Instead of taking a reference to the css before it is stored into
iter->last_visited we can just store its pointer and track the number of
removed groups from each memcg's subhierarchy.

This number would be stored into iterator everytime when a memcg is
cached.  If the iter count doesn't match the curent walker root's one we
will start from the root again.  The group counter is incremented
upwards the hierarchy every time a group is removed.

The iter_lock can be dropped because racing iterators cannot leak the
reference anymore as the reference count is not elevated for
last_visited when it is cached.

Locking rules got a bit complicated by this change though.  The iterator
primarily relies on rcu read lock which makes sure that once we see a
valid last_visited pointer then it will be valid for the whole RCU walk.
smp_rmb makes sure that dead_count is read before last_visited and
last_dead_count while smp_wmb makes sure that last_visited is updated
before last_dead_count so the up-to-date last_dead_count cannot point to
an outdated last_visited.  css_tryget then makes sure that the
last_visited is still alive in case the iteration races with the cached
group removal (css is invalidated before mem_cgroup_css_offline
increments dead_count).

In short:
mem_cgroup_iter
 rcu_read_lock()
 dead_count = atomic_read(parent->dead_count)
 smp_rmb()
 if (dead_count != iter->last_dead_count)
 	last_visited POSSIBLY INVALID -> last_visited = NULL
 if (!css_tryget(iter->last_visited))
 	last_visited DEAD -> last_visited = NULL
 next = find_next(last_visited)
 css_tryget(next)
 css_put(last_visited) 	// css would be invalidated and parent->dead_count
 			// incremented if this was the last reference
 iter->last_visited = next
 smp_wmb()
 iter->last_dead_count = dead_count
 rcu_read_unlock()

cgroup_rmdir
 cgroup_destroy_locked
  atomic_add(CSS_DEACT_BIAS, &css->refcnt) // subsequent css_tryget fail
   mem_cgroup_css_offline
    mem_cgroup_invalidate_reclaim_iterators
     while(parent = parent_mem_cgroup)
     	atomic_inc(parent->dead_count)
  css_put(css) // last reference held by cgroup core

Michal Hocko 542f85f9ae memcg: rework mem_cgroup_iter to use cgroup iterators
mem_cgroup_iter curently relies on css->id when walking down a group
hierarchy tree.  This is really awkward because the tree walk depends on
the groups creation ordering.  The only guarantee is that a parent node is
visited before its children.

Example:

 1) mkdir -p a a/d a/b/c
 2) mkdir -a a/b/c a/d

Will create the same trees but the tree walks will be different:

 1) a, d, b, c
 2) a, b, c, d

Commit 574bd9f7c7 ("cgroup: implement generic child / descendant walk
macros") has introduced generic cgroup tree walkers which provide either
pre-order or post-order tree walk.  This patch converts css->id based
iteration to pre-order tree walk to keep the semantic with the original
iterator where parent is always visited before its subtree.

cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre suggests using post_create and
pre_destroy for proper synchronization with groups addidition resp.
removal.  This implementation doesn't use those because a new memory
cgroup is initialized sufficiently for iteration in mem_cgroup_css_alloc
already and css reference counting enforces that the group is alive for
both the last seen cgroup and the found one resp.  it signals that the
group is dead and it should be skipped.

If the reclaim cookie is used we need to store the last visited group
into the iterator so we have to be careful that it doesn't disappear in
the mean time.  Elevated reference count on the css keeps it alive even
though the group have been removed (parked waiting for the last dput so
that it can be freed).

Per node-zone-prio iter_lock has been introduced to ensure that
css_tryget and iter->last_visited is set atomically.  Otherwise two
racing walkers could both take a references and only one release it
leading to a css leak (which pins cgroup dentry).

Michal Hocko c40046f3ad memcg: keep prev's css alive for the whole mem_cgroup_iter
The patchset tries to make mem_cgroup_iter saner in the way how it walks
hierarchies.  css->id based traversal is far from being ideal as it is not
deterministic because it depends on the creation ordering.  Additional to
that css_id is considered a burden for cgroup maintainers because it is
quite some code and memcg is the last user of it.  After this series only
the swap accounting uses css_id but that one will follow up later.

Diffstat (if we exclude removed/added comments) looks quite
promising. We got rid of some code:

  $ git diff mmotm... | grep -v "^[+-][[:space:]]*[/ ]\*" | diffstat
   b/include/linux/cgroup.h |    3 ---
   kernel/cgroup.c          |   33 ---------------------------------
   mm/memcontrol.c          |    4 +++-
   3 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-)

The first patch is just preparatory and it changes when we release css of
the previously returned memcg.  Nothing controlversial.

The second patch is the core of the patchset and it replaces css_get_next
based on css_id by the generic cgroup pre-order.  This brings some
chalanges for the last visited group caching during the reclaim
(mem_cgroup_per_zone::reclaim_iter).  We have to use memcg pointers
directly now which means that we have to keep a reference to those groups'
css to keep them alive.

I also folded iter_lock introduced by https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/3/295
in the previous version into this patch.  Johannes felt the race I was
describing should be mostly harmless and I haven't been able to trigger it
so the lock doesn't deserve its own patch.  It is still needed
temporarily, though, because the reference counting on iter->last_visited
depends on it.  It will go away with the next patch.

The next patch fixups an unbounded cgroup removal holdoff caused by the
elevated css refcount.  The issue has been observed by Ying Han.  Johannes
wasn't impressed by the previous version of the fix
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/2/8/379) which cleaned up pending references
during mem_cgroup_css_offline when a group is removed.  He has suggested a
different way when the iterator checks whether a cached memcg is still
valid or no.  More on that in the patch but the basic idea is that every
memcg tracks the number removed subgroups and iterator records this number
when a group is cached.  These numbers are checked before
iter->last_visited is about to be used and the iteration is restarted if
it is invalid.

The fourth and fifth patches are an attempt for simplification of the
mem_cgroup_iter.  css juggling is removed and the iteration logic is moved
to a helper so that the reference counting and iteration are separated.

The last patch just removes css_get_next as there is no user for it any
longer.

My testing looked as follows:
        A (use_hierarchy=1, limit_in_bytes=150M)
       /|\
      1 2 3

Children groups were created so that the number is never higher than 3 and
their limits were random between 50-100M.  Each group hosts a kernel build
(starting with tar -xf so the tree is not shared and make -jNUM_CPUs/3)
and terminated after random time - up to 5 minutes) and then it is
removed.

This should exercise both leaf and hierarchical reclaim as well as races
with cgroup removals and debugging messages I added on top proved that.
100 groups were created during the test.

This patch:

css reference counting keeps the cgroup alive even though it has been
already removed.  mem_cgroup_iter relies on this fact and takes a
reference to the returned group.  The reference is then released on the
next iteration or mem_cgroup_iter_break.  mem_cgroup_iter currently
releases the reference right after it gets the last css_id.

This is correct because neither prev's memcg nor cgroup are accessed after
then.  This will change in the next patch so we need to hold the group
alive a bit longer so let's move the css_put at the end of the function.

Michal Hocko d9c10ddddc memcg: fix memcg_cache_name() to use cgroup_name()
As cgroup supports rename, it's unsafe to dereference dentry->d_name
without proper vfs locks. Fix this by using cgroup_name() rather than
dentry directly.

Also open code memcg_cache_name because it is called only from
kmem_cache_dup which frees the returned name right after
kmem_cache_create_memcg makes a copy of it. Such a short-lived
allocation doesn't make too much sense. So replace it by a static
buffer as kmem_cache_dup is called with memcg_cache_mutex.

The sites where values are written, however, used to be naturally called

Glauber Costa b5f99b537d memcg: fast hierarchy-aware child test
Currently, we use cgroups' provided list of children to verify if it is
safe to proceed with any value change that is dependent on the cgroup
being empty.

This is less than ideal, because it enforces a dependency over cgroup
core that we would be better off without.  The solution proposed here is
to iterate over the child cgroups and if any is found that is already
online, we bounce and return: we don't really care how many children we
have, only if we have any.

This is also made to be hierarchy aware.  IOW, cgroups with hierarchy
disabled, while they still exist, will be considered for the purpose of
this interface as having no children.

Glauber Costa d142e3e667 memcg: split part of memcg creation to css_online
This patch is a preparatory work for later locking rework to get rid of
big cgroup lock from memory controller code.

The memory controller uses some tunables to adjust its operation.  Those
tunables are inherited from parent to children upon children
intialization.  For most of them, the value cannot be changed after the
parent has a new children.

cgroup core splits initialization in two phases: css_alloc and css_online.
After css_alloc, the memory allocation and basic initialization are done.
But the new group is not yet visible anywhere, not even for cgroup core
code.  It is only somewhere between css_alloc and css_online that it is
inserted into the internal children lists.  Copying tunable values in
css_alloc will lead to inconsistent values: the children will copy the old
parent values, that can change between the copy and the moment in which
the groups is linked to any data structure that can indicate the presence
of children.

Glauber Costa ee5e8472b8 memcg: prevent changes to move_charge_at_immigrate during task attach
In memcg, we use the cgroup_lock basically to synchronize against
attaching new children to a cgroup.  We do this because we rely on
cgroup core to provide us with this information.

We need to guarantee that upon child creation, our tunables are
consistent.  For those, the calls to cgroup_lock() all live in handlers
like mem_cgroup_hierarchy_write(), where we change a tunable in the
group that is hierarchy-related.  For instance, the use_hierarchy flag
cannot be changed if the cgroup already have children.

Furthermore, those values are propagated from the parent to the child
when a new child is created.  So if we don't lock like this, we can end
up with the following situation:

A                                   B
 memcg_css_alloc()                       mem_cgroup_hierarchy_write()
 copy use hierarchy from parent          change use hierarchy in parent
 finish creation.

This is mainly because during create, we are still not fully connected
to the css tree.  So all iterators and the such that we could use, will
fail to show that the group has children.

My observation is that all of creation can proceed in parallel with
those tasks, except value assignment.  So what this patch series does is
to first move all value assignment that is dependent on parent values
from css_alloc to css_online, where the iterators all work, and then we
lock only the value assignment.  This will guarantee that parent and
children always have consistent values.  Together with an online test,
that can be derived from the observation that the refcount of an online
memcg can be made to be always positive, we should be able to
synchronize our side without the cgroup lock.

This patch:

Currently, we rely on the cgroup_lock() to prevent changes to
move_charge_at_immigrate during task migration.  However, this is only
needed because the current strategy keeps checking this value throughout
the whole process.  Since all we need is serialization, one needs only
to guarantee that whatever decision we made in the beginning of a
specific migration is respected throughout the process.

We can achieve this by just saving it in mc.  By doing this, no kind of
locking is needed.

Glauber Costa 45cf7ebd5a memcg: reduce the size of struct memcg 244-fold.
In order to maintain all the memcg bookkeeping, we need per-node
descriptors, which will in turn contain a per-zone descriptor.

Because we want to statically allocate those, this array ends up being
very big.  Part of the reason is that we allocate something large enough
to hold MAX_NUMNODES, the compile time constant that holds the maximum
number of nodes we would ever consider.

However, we can do better in some cases if the firmware help us.  This
is true for modern x86 machines; coincidentally one of the architectures
in which MAX_NUMNODES tends to be very big.

By using the firmware-provided maximum number of nodes instead of
MAX_NUMNODES, we can reduce the memory footprint of struct memcg
considerably.  In the extreme case in which we have only one node, this
reduces the size of the structure from ~ 64k to ~2k.  This is
particularly important because it means that we will no longer resort to
the vmalloc area for the struct memcg on defconfigs.  We also have
enough room for an extra node and still be outside vmalloc.

One also has to keep in mind that with the industry's ability to fit
more processors in a die as fast as the FED prints money, a nodes = 2
configuration is already respectably big.

fair to say that this behavior could be quite confusing.

Let's tear memsw files out of default cgroup files and add them only if
the swap accounting is really enabled (either by MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED or
swapaccount=1 boot parameter).  We can hook into mem_cgroup_init which
is called when the memcg subsystem is initialized and which happens
after boot command line is processed.

Shaohua Li 33806f06da swap: make each swap partition have one address_space
When I use several fast SSD to do swap, swapper_space.tree_lock is
heavily contended.  This makes each swap partition have one
address_space to reduce the lock contention.  There is an array of
address_space for swap.  The swap entry type is the index to the array.

In my test with 3 SSD, this increases the swapout throughput 20%.

Sha Zhengju 58cf188ed6 memcg, oom: provide more precise dump info while memcg oom happening
Currently when a memcg oom is happening the oom dump messages is still
global state and provides few useful info for users.  This patch prints
more pointed memcg page statistics for memcg-oom and take hierarchy into
consideration:

Based on Michal's advice, we take hierarchy into consideration: supppose
we trigger an OOM on A's limit

        root_memcg
            |
            A (use_hierachy=1)
           / \
          B   C
          |
          D
then the printed info will be:

  Memory cgroup stats for /A:...
  Memory cgroup stats for /A/B:...
  Memory cgroup stats for /A/C:...
  Memory cgroup stats for /A/B/D:...

Following are samples of oom output:

Glauber Costa 4ba902b574 memcg: fix kmemcg registration for late caches
The designed workflow for the caches in kmemcg is: register it with
memcg_register_cache() if kmemcg is already available or later on when a
new kmemcg appears at memcg_update_cache_sizes() which will handle all
caches in the system.  The caches created at boot time will be handled
by the later, and the memcg-caches as well as any system caches that are
registered later on by the former.

There is a bug, however, in memcg_register_cache: we correctly set up
the array size, but do not mark the cache as a root cache.

This means that allocations for any cache appearing late in the game
will see memcg->memcg_params->is_root_cache == false, and in particular,
trigger VM_BUG_ON(!cachep->memcg_params->is_root_cache) in
__memcg_kmem_cache_get.

The obvious fix is to include the missing assignment.

Tejun Heo 154b454eda memcg: don't register hotcpu notifier from ->css_alloc()
Commit 648bb56d07 ("cgroup: lock cgroup_mutex in cgroup_init_subsys()")
made cgroup_init_subsys() grab cgroup_mutex before invoking
->css_alloc() for the root css.  Because memcg registers hotcpu notifier
from ->css_alloc() for the root css, this introduced circular locking
dependency between cgroup_mutex and cpu hotplug.

Fix it by moving hotcpu notifier registration to a subsys initcall.

Glauber Costa 943a451a87 slab: propagate tunable values
SLAB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with tunables.  When
creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the
parent cache already had.

This could be done by an explicit call to do_tune_cpucache() after the
cache is created.  But this is not very convenient now that the caches are
created from common code, since this function is SLAB-specific.

Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that
do_tune_cpucache() is always called from enable_cpucache(), which is
called at cache initialization.  We can just preset the values, and then
things work as expected.

It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during
normal system operation.  In this case, we will propagate the change to
all caches that are already active.

This change will require us to move the assignment of root_cache in
memcg_params a bit earlier.  We need this to be already set - which
memcg_kmem_register_cache will do - when we reach __kmem_cache_create()

Glauber Costa 749c54151a memcg: aggregate memcg cache values in slabinfo
When we create caches in memcgs, we need to display their usage
information somewhere.  We'll adopt a scheme similar to /proc/meminfo,
with aggregate totals shown in the global file, and per-group information
stored in the group itself.

For the time being, only reads are allowed in the per-group cache.

Glauber Costa 2293315293 memcg/sl[au]b: shrink dead caches
This means that when we destroy a memcg cache that happened to be empty,
those caches may take a lot of time to go away: removing the memcg
reference won't destroy them - because there are pending references, and
the empty pages will stay there, until a shrinker is called upon for any
reason.

In this patch, we will call kmem_cache_shrink() for all dead caches that
cannot be destroyed because of remaining pages.  After shrinking, it is
possible that it could be freed.  If this is not the case, we'll schedule
a lazy worker to keep trying.

Glauber Costa 7cf2798240 memcg/sl[au]b: track all the memcg children of a kmem_cache
This enables us to remove all the children of a kmem_cache being
destroyed, if for example the kernel module it's being used in gets
unloaded.  Otherwise, the children will still point to the destroyed
parent.

Glauber Costa 1f458cbf12 memcg: destroy memcg caches
Implement destruction of memcg caches.  Right now, only caches where our
reference counter is the last remaining are deleted.  If there are any
other reference counters around, we just leave the caches lying around
until they go away.

When that happens, a destruction function is called from the cache code.
Caches are only destroyed in process context, so we queue them up for
later processing in the general case.

Glauber Costa d79923fad9 sl[au]b: allocate objects from memcg cache
We are able to match a cache allocation to a particular memcg.  If the
task doesn't change groups during the allocation itself - a rare event,
this will give us a good picture about who is the first group to touch a
cache page.

This patch uses the now available infrastructure by calling
memcg_kmem_get_cache() before all the cache allocations.

Create a mechanism that skip memcg allocations during certain pieces of
our core code.  It basically works in the same way as
preempt_disable()/preempt_enable(): By marking a region under which all
allocations will be accounted to the root memcg.

We need this to prevent races in early cache creation, when we
allocate data using caches that are not necessarily created already.

Glauber Costa d7f25f8a2f memcg: infrastructure to match an allocation to the right cache
The page allocator is able to bind a page to a memcg when it is
allocated.  But for the caches, we'd like to have as many objects as
possible in a page belonging to the same cache.

This is done in this patch by calling memcg_kmem_get_cache in the
beginning of every allocation function.  This function is patched out by
static branches when kernel memory controller is not being used.

It assumes that the task allocating, which determines the memcg in the
page allocator, belongs to the same cgroup throughout the whole process.
Misaccounting can happen if the task calls memcg_kmem_get_cache() while
belonging to a cgroup, and later on changes.  This is considered
acceptable, and should only happen upon task migration.

Before the cache is created by the memcg core, there is also a possible
imbalance: the task belongs to a memcg, but the cache being allocated from
is the global cache, since the child cache is not yet guaranteed to be
ready.  This case is also fine, since in this case the GFP_KMEMCG will not
be passed and the page allocator will not attempt any cgroup accounting.

Glauber Costa 55007d8497 memcg: allocate memory for memcg caches whenever a new memcg appears
Every cache that is considered a root cache (basically the "original"
caches, tied to the root memcg/no-memcg) will have an array that should be
large enough to store a cache pointer per each memcg in the system.

Theoreticaly, this is as high as 1 << sizeof(css_id), which is currently
in the 64k pointers range.  Most of the time, we won't be using that much.

What goes in this patch, is a simple scheme to dynamically allocate such
an array, in order to minimize memory usage for memcg caches.  Because we
would also like to avoid allocations all the time, at least for now, the
array will only grow.  It will tend to be big enough to hold the maximum
number of kmem-limited memcgs ever achieved.

We'll allocate it to be a minimum of 64 kmem-limited memcgs.  When we have
more than that, we'll start doubling the size of this array every time the
limit is reached.

Because we are only considering kmem limited memcgs, a natural point for
this to happen is when we write to the limit.  At that point, we already
have set_limit_mutex held, so that will become our natural synchronization
mechanism.

Glauber Costa 2633d7a028 slab/slub: consider a memcg parameter in kmem_create_cache
Allow a memcg parameter to be passed during cache creation.  When the slub
allocator is being used, it will only merge caches that belong to the same
memcg.  We'll do this by scanning the global list, and then translating
the cache to a memcg-specific cache

Default function is created as a wrapper, passing NULL to the memcg
version.  We only merge caches that belong to the same memcg.

A helper is provided, memcg_css_id: because slub needs a unique cache name
for sysfs.  Since this is visible, but not the canonical location for slab
data, the cache name is not used, the css_id should suffice.

Glauber Costa c8b2a36fb1 memcg: execute the whole memcg freeing in free_worker()
A lot of the initialization we do in mem_cgroup_create() is done with
softirqs enabled.  This include grabbing a css id, which holds
&ss->id_lock->rlock, and the per-zone trees, which holds
rtpz->lock->rlock.  All of those signal to the lockdep mechanism that
those locks can be used in SOFTIRQ-ON-W context.

This means that the freeing of memcg structure must happen in a
compatible context, otherwise we'll get a deadlock, like the one below,
caught by lockdep:

   free_accounted_pages+0x47/0x4c
   free_task+0x31/0x5c
   __put_task_struct+0xc2/0xdb
   put_task_struct+0x1e/0x22
   delayed_put_task_struct+0x7a/0x98
   __rcu_process_callbacks+0x269/0x3df
   rcu_process_callbacks+0x31/0x5b
   __do_softirq+0x122/0x277

This usage pattern could not be triggered before kmem came into play.
With the introduction of kmem stack handling, it is possible that we call
the last mem_cgroup_put() from the task destructor, which is run in an rcu
callback.  Such callbacks are run with softirqs disabled, leading to the
offensive usage pattern.

In general, we have little, if any, means to guarantee in which context
the last memcg_put will happen.  The best we can do is test it and try to
make sure no invalid context releases are happening.  But as we add more
code to memcg, the possible interactions grow in number and expose more
ways to get context conflicts.  One thing to keep in mind, is that part of
the freeing process is already deferred to a worker, such as vfree(), that
can only be called from process context.

For the moment, the only two functions we really need moved away are:

  * free_css_id(), and
  * mem_cgroup_remove_from_trees().

But because the later accesses per-zone info,
free_mem_cgroup_per_zone_info() needs to be moved as well.  With that, we
are left with the per_cpu stats only.  Better move it all.

Glauber Costa bea207c86e memcg: allow a memcg with kmem charges to be destructed
Because the ultimate goal of the kmem tracking in memcg is to track slab
pages as well, we can't guarantee that we'll always be able to point a
page to a particular process, and migrate the charges along with it -
since in the common case, a page will contain data belonging to multiple
processes.

Because of that, when we destroy a memcg, we only make sure the
destruction will succeed by discounting the kmem charges from the user
charges when we try to empty the cgroup.

Glauber Costa a8964b9b84 memcg: use static branches when code not in use
We can use static branches to patch the code in or out when not used.

Because the _ACTIVE bit on kmem_accounted is only set after the increment
is done, we guarantee that the root memcg will always be selected for kmem
charges until all call sites are patched (see memcg_kmem_enabled).  This
guarantees that no mischarges are applied.

Static branch decrement happens when the last reference count from the
kmem accounting in memcg dies.  This will only happen when the charges
drop down to 0.

When that happens, we need to disable the static branch only on those
memcgs that enabled it.  To achieve this, we would be forced to complicate
the code by keeping track of which memcgs were the ones that actually
enabled limits, and which ones got it from its parents.

It is a lot simpler just to do static_key_slow_inc() on every child
that is accounted.

Glauber Costa 7de37682be memcg: kmem accounting lifecycle management
Because kmem charges can outlive the cgroup, we need to make sure that we
won't free the memcg structure while charges are still in flight.  For
reviewing simplicity, the charge functions will issue mem_cgroup_get() at
every charge, and mem_cgroup_put() at every uncharge.

This can get expensive, however, and we can do better.  mem_cgroup_get()
only really needs to be issued once: when the first limit is set.  In the
same spirit, we only need to issue mem_cgroup_put() when the last charge
is gone.

We'll need an extra bit in kmem_account_flags for that:
KMEM_ACCOUNTED_DEAD.  it will be set when the cgroup dies, if there are
charges in the group.  If there aren't, we can proceed right away.

Our uncharge function will have to test that bit every time the charges
drop to 0.  Because that is not the likely output of res_counter_uncharge,
this should not impose a big hit on us: it is certainly much better than a
reference count decrease at every operation.

Glauber Costa 7ae1e1d0f8 memcg: kmem controller infrastructure
Introduce infrastructure for tracking kernel memory pages to a given
memcg.  This will happen whenever the caller includes the flag
__GFP_KMEMCG flag, and the task belong to a memcg other than the root.

In memcontrol.h those functions are wrapped in inline acessors.  The idea
is to later on, patch those with static branches, so we don't incur any
overhead when no mem cgroups with limited kmem are being used.

Users of this functionality shall interact with the memcg core code
through the following functions:

memcg_kmem_newpage_charge: will return true if the group can handle the
                           allocation. At this point, struct page is not
                           yet allocated.

memcg_kmem_commit_charge: will either revert the charge, if struct page
                          allocation failed, or embed memcg information
                          into page_cgroup.

memcg_kmem_uncharge_page: called at free time, will revert the charge.

Glauber Costa 510fc4e11b memcg: kmem accounting basic infrastructure
Add the basic infrastructure for the accounting of kernel memory.  To
control that, the following files are created:

 * memory.kmem.usage_in_bytes
 * memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes
 * memory.kmem.failcnt
 * memory.kmem.max_usage_in_bytes

They have the same meaning of their user memory counterparts.  They
reflect the state of the "kmem" res_counter.

Per cgroup kmem memory accounting is not enabled until a limit is set for
the group.  Once the limit is set the accounting cannot be disabled for
that group.  This means that after the patch is applied, no behavioral
changes exists for whoever is still using memcg to control their memory
usage, until memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes is set for the first time.

We always account to both user and kernel resource_counters.  This
effectively means that an independent kernel limit is in place when the
limit is set to a lower value than the user memory.  A equal or higher
value means that the user limit will always hit first, meaning that kmem
is effectively unlimited.

People who want to track kernel memory but not limit it, can set this
limit to a very high number (like RESOURCE_MAX - 1page - that no one will
ever hit, or equal to the user memory)

Suleiman Souhlal 4c9c535968 memcg: reclaim when more than one page needed
mem_cgroup_do_charge() was written before kmem accounting, and expects
three cases: being called for 1 page, being called for a stock of 32
pages, or being called for a hugepage.  If we call for 2 or 3 pages (and
both the stack and several slabs used in process creation are such, at
least with the debug options I had), it assumed it's being called for
stock and just retried without reclaiming.

Fix that by passing down a minsize argument in addition to the csize.

And what to do about that (csize == PAGE_SIZE && ret) retry?  If it's
needed at all (and presumably is since it's there, perhaps to handle
races), then it should be extended to more than PAGE_SIZE, yet how far?
And should there be a retry count limit, of what?  For now retry up to
COSTLY_ORDER (as page_alloc.c does) and make sure not to do it if
__GFP_NORETRY.

Suleiman Souhlal a0956d5449 memcg: make it possible to use the stock for more than one page
We currently have a percpu stock cache scheme that charges one page at a
time from memcg->res, the user counter.  When the kernel memory controller
comes into play, we'll need to charge more than that.

This is because kernel memory allocations will also draw from the user
counter, and can be bigger than a single page, as it is the case with the
stack (usually 2 pages) or some higher order slabs.

Merge tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
 "There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
  (balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
  autonuma which is in aa.git.

  In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
  its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
  scheduling.  In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
  desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
  scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.

  The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are

    mel:    https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
    mingo:  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
    tglx:   https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
    srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397

  The results are a mixed bag.  In my own tests, balancenuma does
  reasonably well.  It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
  mainline.  On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
  incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
  but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts.  Thomas'
  results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
  numacore or autonuma.  Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
  large machine with imbalanced node sizes.

  My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
  dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
  We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
  migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
  There are also cases where it regresses.  Of interest is that for
  specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
  warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
  the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports.  Recently I
  reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
  NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
  this problem is.  Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
  handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case.  It's possible
  numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.

  These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
  with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
  not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

Michal Hocko c95d26c2ff memcg: do not check for mm in __mem_cgroup_count_vm_event
The mm given to __mem_cgroup_count_vm_event() cannot be NULL because the
function is either called from the page fault path or vma->vm_mm is used.
So the check can be dropped.

The check was introduced by commit 456f998ec8 ("memcg: add the
pagefault count into memcg stats") because the originally proposed patch
used current->mm for shmem but this has been changed to vma->vm_mm later
on without the check being removed (thanks to Hugh for this
recollection).

David Rientjes 68ae564bba mm, memcg: avoid unnecessary function call when memcg is disabled
While profiling numa/core v16 with cgroup_disable=memory on the command
line, I noticed mem_cgroup_count_vm_event() still showed up as high as
0.60% in perftop.

This occurs because the function is called extremely often even when memcg
is disabled.

To fix this, inline the check for mem_cgroup_disabled() so we avoid the
unnecessary function call if memcg is disabled.

Linus Torvalds d206e09036 Merge branch 'for-3.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on cgroup side.  The big changes are focused on
  making cgroup hierarchy handling saner.

   - cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup
     destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to
     drain refcnt synchronously.  The vetoing never worked properly and
     caused good deal of contortions in cgroup.  memcg was the last
     reamining user.  Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir()
     path has been simplified significantly.  This was done in a
     separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg
     changes on top.

   - The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and
     implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to
     improve hierarchy support.

   - cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen
     cgroup and handle hierarchy.  If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant
     cgroups are frozen.

   - netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy
     properly.

   - Various fixes and cleanups.

   - Two merge commits.  One to pull in memcg and rmdir cleanups (needed
     to build iterators).  The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for
     device_cgroup fixes so that further device_cgroup patches can be
     stacked on top."

Mel Gorman b32967ff10 mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case.
Note: This is very heavily based on a patch from Peter Zijlstra with
	fixes from Ingo Molnar, Hugh Dickins and Johannes Weiner.  That patch
	put a lot of migration logic into mm/huge_memory.c where it does
	not belong. This version puts tries to share some of the migration
	logic with migrate_misplaced_page.  However, it should be noted
	that now migrate.c is doing more with the pagetable manipulation
	than is preferred. The end result is barely recognisable so as
	before, the signed-offs had to be removed but will be re-added if
	the original authors are ok with it.

Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case.

It uses the page lock to serialize. No migration pte dance is
necessary because the pte is already unmapped when we decide
to migrate.

Hugh Dickins bea8c150a7 memcg: fix hotplugged memory zone oops
When MEMCG is configured on (even when it's disabled by boot option),
when adding or removing a page to/from its lru list, the zone pointer
used for stats updates is nowadays taken from the struct lruvec.  (On
many configurations, calculating zone from page is slower.)

But we have no code to update all the lruvecs (per zone, per memcg) when
a memory node is hotadded.  Here's an extract from the oops which
results when running numactl to bind a program to a newly onlined node:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000f60
  IP:  __mod_zone_page_state+0x9/0x60
  Pid: 1219, comm: numactl Not tainted 3.6.0-rc5+ #180 Bochs Bochs
  Process numactl (pid: 1219, threadinfo ffff880039abc000, task ffff8800383c4ce0)
  Call Trace:
    __pagevec_lru_add_fn+0xdf/0x140
    pagevec_lru_move_fn+0xb1/0x100
    __pagevec_lru_add+0x1c/0x30
    lru_add_drain_cpu+0xa3/0x130
    lru_add_drain+0x2f/0x40
   ...

The natural solution might be to use a memcg callback whenever memory is
hotadded; but that solution has not been scoped out, and it happens that
we do have an easy location at which to update lruvec->zone.  The lruvec
pointer is discovered either by mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() or by
mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(), and both of those do know the right zone.

So check and set lruvec->zone in those; and remove the inadequate
attempt to set lruvec->zone from lruvec_init(), which is called before
NODE_DATA(node) has been allocated in such cases.

Ah, there was one exceptionr.  For no particularly good reason,
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() has its own code for deciding lruvec.
Change it to use the standard mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() and
mem_cgroup_get_lru_size() too.  In fact it was already safe against such
an oops (the lru lists in danger could only be empty), but we're better
proofed against future changes this way.

I've marked this for stable (3.6) since we introduced the problem in 3.5
(now closed to stable); but I have no idea if this is the only fix
needed to get memory hotadd working with memcg in 3.6, and received no
answer when I enquired twice before.

Michal Hocko 9a5a8f19b4 memcg: oom: fix totalpages calculation for memory.swappiness==0
oom_badness() takes a totalpages argument which says how many pages are
available and it uses it as a base for the score calculation.  The value
is calculated by mem_cgroup_get_limit which considers both limit and
total_swap_pages (resp.  memsw portion of it).

This is usually correct but since fe35004fbf ("mm: avoid swapping out
with swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means
that we cannot really use up all the totalpages pages.  This in turn
confuses oom score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than
the available swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is
negligible comparing to totalpages so the resulting score is too small
if adj!=0 (typically task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj).
A wrong process might be selected as result.

The problem can be worked around by checking mem_cgroup_swappiness==0
and not considering swap at all in such a case.

Tejun Heo b25ed609d0 cgroup: remove CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR, cgroup_exclude_rmdir() and cgroup_release_and_wakeup_rmdir()
CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR is another kludge which was added to make cgroup
destruction rollback somewhat working.  cgroup_rmdir() used to drain
CSS references and CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR and the associated waitqueue and
helpers were used to allow the task performing rmdir to wait for the
next relevant event.

Unfortunately, the wait is visible to controllers too and the
mechanism got exposed to memcg by 887032670d ("cgroup avoid permanent
sleep at rmdir").

Now that the draining and retries are gone, CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR is
unnecessary.  Remove it and all the mechanisms supporting it.  Note
that memcontrol.c changes are essentially revert of 887032670d
("cgroup avoid permanent sleep at rmdir").

Tejun Heo e93160803f cgroup: kill CSS_REMOVED
CSS_REMOVED is one of the several contortions which were necessary to
support css reference draining on cgroup removal.  All css->refcnts
which need draining should be deactivated and verified to equal zero
atomically w.r.t. css_tryget().  If any one isn't zero, all refcnts
needed to be re-activated and css_tryget() shouldn't fail in the
process.

This was achieved by letting css_tryget() busy-loop until either the
refcnt is reactivated (failed removal attempt) or CSS_REMOVED is set
(committing to removal).

Now that css refcnt draining is no longer used, there's no need for
atomic rollback mechanism.  css_tryget() simply can look at the
reference count and fail if it's deactivated - it's never getting
re-activated.

This patch removes CSS_REMOVED and updates __css_tryget() to fail if
the refcnt is deactivated.  As deactivation and removal are a single
step now, they no longer need to be protected against css_tryget()
happening from irq context.  Remove local_irq_disable/enable() from
cgroup_rmdir().

Note that this removes css_is_removed() whose only user is VM_BUG_ON()
in memcontrol.c.  We can replace it with a check on the refcnt but
given that the only use case is a debug assert, I think it's better to
simply unexport it.

v2: Comment updated and explanation on local_irq_disable/enable()
    added per Michal Hocko.

Michal Hocko 2ef37d3fe4 memcg: Simplify mem_cgroup_force_empty_list error handling
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list currently tries to remove all pages from
the given LRU. To prevent from temoporary failures (EBUSY returned by
mem_cgroup_move_parent) it uses a margin to the current LRU pages and
returns the true if there are still some pages left on the list.

If we consider that mem_cgroup_move_parent fails only when it is racing
with somebody else removing (uncharging) the page or when the page is
migrated then it is obvious that all those failures are only temporal
and so we can safely retry later.
Let's get rid of the safety margin and make the loop really wait for
the empty LRU. The caller should still make sure that all charges have
been removed from the res_counter because mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache
might add a page to the LRU after the list_empty check (it doesn't touch
res_counter though).
This catches most of the cases except for shmem which might call
mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache with a page which is not charged and on
the LRU yet but this was the case also without this patch. In order to
fix this we need a guarantee that try_get_mem_cgroup_from_page falls
back to the current mm's cgroup so it needs css_tryget to fail. This
will be fixed up in a later patch because it needs a help from cgroup
core (pre_destroy has to be called after css is cleared).

Although mem_cgroup_pre_destroy can still fail (if a new task or a new
sub-group appears) there is no reason to retry pre_destroy callback from
the cgroup core. This means that __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs has lost
its meaning and it can be removed.

Changes since v2
- remove __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs

Changes since v1
- use kerndoc
- be more specific about mem_cgroup_move_parent possible failures

Michal Hocko d842301181 memcg: root_cgroup cannot reach mem_cgroup_move_parent
The root cgroup cannot be destroyed so we never hit it down the
mem_cgroup_pre_destroy path and mem_cgroup_force_empty_write shouldn't
even try to do anything if called for the root.

This means that mem_cgroup_move_parent doesn't have to bother with the
root cgroup and it can assume it can always move charges upwards.

Michal Hocko c26251f9f0 memcg: split mem_cgroup_force_empty into reclaiming and reparenting parts
mem_cgroup_force_empty did two separate things depending on free_all
parameter from the very beginning. It either reclaimed as many pages as
possible and moved the rest to the parent or just moved charges to the
parent. The first variant is used as memory.force_empty callback while
the later is used from the mem_cgroup_pre_destroy.

The whole games around gotos are far from being nice and there is no
reason to keep those two functions inside one. Let's split them and
also move the responsibility for css reference counting to their callers
to make to code easier.

This patch doesn't have any functional changes.

Tejun Heo 8c7f6edbda cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups are nested for them
Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess.  cpu related subsystems
behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent
properly cover its children.  blkio and freezer completely ignore
hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root
cgroup.  Others show yet different behaviors.

These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup
confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same
hierarchy and obtain sane behavior.

Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and
probably a unified hierarchy.  Users using separate hierarchies
expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted
subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front.

This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true
for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support.  The goal of
this patch is two-fold.

* Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical
  subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those
  doesn't surprise them.

* Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the
  subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support.

For now, start with a single warning message.  We can whine louder
later on.

v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated.

v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the
    cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior
    different from root.use_hierarchy=true.  Fixed a typo spotted by
    Glauber.

v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that
    ->create() can affect the result per Michal.  Dropped unnecessary
    memcg root handling per Michal.

shmem knows for sure that the page is in swap cache when attempting to
charge a page, because the cache charge entry function has a check for it.
Only anon pages may be removed from swap cache already when trying to
charge their swapin.

Adjust the comment, though: '4969c11 mm: fix swapin race condition' added
a stable PageSwapCache check under the page lock in the do_swap_page()
before calling the memory controller, so it's unuse_pte()'s pte_same()

Only anon and shmem pages in the swap cache are attempted to be charged
multiple times, from every swap pte fault or from shmem_unuse().  No other

Charging pages in the swap cache is also serialized by the page lock, and
since both the try_charge and commit_charge are called under the same page
lock section, the PageCgroupUsed() check might as well happen before the
counter charging, let alone reclaim.

Johannes Weiner 0030f535a5 mm: memcg: fix compaction/migration failing due to memcg limits
Compaction (and page migration in general) can currently be hindered
through pages being owned by memory cgroups that are at their limits and
unreclaimable.

The reason is that the replacement page is being charged against the limit
while the page being replaced is also still charged.  But this seems
unnecessary, given that only one of the two pages will still be in use
after migration finishes.

This patch changes the memcg migration sequence so that the replacement
page is not charged.  Whatever page is still in use after successful or
failed migration gets to keep the charge of the page that was going to be
replaced.

The replacement page will still show up temporarily in the rss/cache
statistics, this can be fixed in a later patch as it's less urgent.

David Rientjes 6b0c81b3be mm, oom: reduce dependency on tasklist_lock
Since exiting tasks require write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock) several times,
try to reduce the amount of time the readside is held for oom kills.  This
makes the interface with the memcg oom handler more consistent since it
now never needs to take tasklist_lock unnecessarily.

The only time the oom killer now takes tasklist_lock is when iterating the
children of the selected task, everything else is protected by
rcu_read_lock().

This requires that a reference to the selected process, p, is grabbed
before calling oom_kill_process().  It may release it and grab a reference
on another one of p's threads if !p->mm, but it also guarantees that it
will release the reference before returning.

David Rientjes 9cbb78bb31 mm, memcg: introduce own oom handler to iterate only over its own threads
The global oom killer is serialized by the per-zonelist
try_set_zonelist_oom() which is used in the page allocator.  Concurrent
oom kills are thus a rare event and only occur in systems using
mempolicies and with a large number of nodes.

Memory controller oom kills, however, can frequently be concurrent since
there is no serialization once the oom killer is called for oom conditions
in several different memcgs in parallel.

This creates a massive contention on tasklist_lock since the oom killer
requires the readside for the tasklist iteration.  If several memcgs are
calling the oom killer, this lock can be held for a substantial amount of
time, especially if threads continue to enter it as other threads are
exiting.

Since the exit path grabs the writeside of the lock with irqs disabled in
a few different places, this can cause a soft lockup on cpus as a result
of tasklist_lock starvation.

The kernel lacks unfair writelocks, and successful calls to the oom killer
usually result in at least one thread entering the exit path, so an
alternative solution is needed.

This patch introduces a seperate oom handler for memcgs so that they do
not require tasklist_lock for as much time.  Instead, it iterates only
over the threads attached to the oom memcg and grabs a reference to the
selected thread before calling oom_kill_process() to ensure it doesn't
prematurely exit.

This still requires tasklist_lock for the tasklist dump, iterating
children of the selected process, and killing all other threads on the
system sharing the same memory as the selected victim.  So while this
isn't a complete solution to tasklist_lock starvation, it significantly
reduces the amount of time that it is held.

Glauber Costa 567fb435bb memcg: fix bad behavior in use_hierarchy file
I have an application that does the following:

* copy the state of all controllers attached to a hierarchy
* replicate it as a child of the current level.

I would expect writes to the files to mostly succeed, since they are
inheriting sane values from parents.

But that is not the case for use_hierarchy.  If it is set to 0, we succeed
ok.  If we're set to 1, the value of the file is automatically set to 1 in
the children, but if userspace tries to write the very same 1, it will
fail.  That same situation happens if we set use_hierarchy, create a
child, and then try to write 1 again.

Now, there is no reason whatsoever for failing to write a value that is
already there.  It doesn't even match the comments, that states:

 /* If parent's use_hierarchy is set, we can't make any modifications
  * in the child subtrees...

since we are not changing anything.

So test the new value against the one we're storing, and automatically
return 0 if we're not proposing a change.

False because we cannot know if it was in the hierarchy, but also false

Glauber Costa 3f13461939 memcg: decrement static keys at real destroy time
We call the destroy function when a cgroup starts to be removed, such as
by a rmdir event.

However, because of our reference counters, some objects are still
inflight.  Right now, we are decrementing the static_keys at destroy()
time, meaning that if we get rid of the last static_key reference, some
objects will still have charges, but the code to properly uncharge them
won't be run.

This becomes a problem specially if it is ever enabled again, because now
new charges will be added to the staled charges making keeping it pretty
much impossible.

We just need to be careful with the static branch activation: since there
is no particular preferred order of their activation, we need to make sure
that we only start using it after all call sites are active.  This is
achieved by having a per-memcg flag that is only updated after
static_key_slow_inc() returns.  At this time, we are sure all sites are
active.

This is made per-memcg, not global, for a reason: it also has the effect
of making socket accounting more consistent.  The first memcg to be
limited will trigger static_key() activation, therefore, accounting.  But
all the others will then be accounted no matter what.  After this patch,
only limited memcgs will have its sockets accounted.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: move enum sock_flag_bits into sock.h,
                            document enum sock_flag_bits,
                            convert memcg_proto_active() and memcg_proto_activated() to test_bit(),

Glauber Costa 3afe36b1fe memcg: always free struct memcg through schedule_work()
Right now we free struct memcg with kfree right after a rcu grace period,
but defer it if we need to use vfree() to get rid of that memory area.  We
do that by need, because we need vfree to be called in a process context.

This patch unifies this behavior, by ensuring that even kfree will happen
in a separate thread.  The goal is to have a stable place to call the
upcoming jump label destruction function outside the realm of the
complicated and quite far-reaching cgroup lock (that can't be held when
holding either the cpu_hotplug.lock or jump_label_mutex)

Hugh Dickins fa9add641b mm/memcg: apply add/del_page to lruvec
Take lruvec further: pass it instead of zone to add_page_to_lru_list() and
del_page_from_lru_list(); and pagevec_lru_move_fn() pass lruvec down to
its target functions.

This cleanup eliminates a swathe of cruft in memcontrol.c, including
mem_cgroup_lru_add_list(), mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() and
mem_cgroup_lru_move_lists() - which never actually touched the lists.

In their place, mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() to decide the lruvec, previously
a side-effect of add, and mem_cgroup_update_lru_size() to maintain the
lru_size stats.

Whilst these are simplifications in their own right, the goal is to bring
the evaluation of lruvec next to the spin_locking of the lrus, in
preparation for a future patch.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki cc926f7842 memcg: move charges to root cgroup if use_hierarchy=0
Presently, at removal of cgroup, ->pre_destroy() is called and moves
charges to the parent cgroup.  A major reason for returning -EBUSY from
->pre_destroy() is that the 'moving' hits the parent's resource
limitation.  It happens only when use_hierarchy=0.

Considering use_hierarchy=0, all cgroups should be flat.  So, no one
cannot justify moving charges to parent...parent and children are in flat
configuration, not hierarchical.

This patch modifes the code to move charges to the root cgroup at
rmdir/force_empty if use_hierarchy==0.  This will much simplify rmdir()
and reduce error in ->pre_destroy.

next turn (after calling __mem_cgroup_threshold):
	threshold array:  3   5  [7]  9   (usage = 7, [index] = 7)

after registering a new event (threshold = 10):

which get_scan_count() will actually use.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 4b91355e9d memcg: fix/change behavior of shared anon at moving task
This patch changes memcg's behavior at task_move().

At task_move(), the kernel scans a task's page table and move the changes
for mapped pages from source cgroup to target cgroup.  There has been a
bug at handling shared anonymous pages for a long time.

Before patch:
  - The spec says 'shared anonymous pages are not moved.'
  - The implementation was 'shared anonymoys pages may be moved'.
    If page_mapcount <=2, shared anonymous pages's charge were moved.

After patch:
  - The spec says 'all anonymous pages are moved'.
  - The implementation is 'all anonymous pages are moved'.

Considering usage of memcg, this will not affect user's experience.
'shared anonymous' pages only exists between a tree of processes which
don't do exec().  Moving one of process without exec() seems not sane.
For example, libcgroup will not be affected by this change.  (Anyway, no
one noticed the implementation for a long time...)

Below is a discussion log:

 - current spec/implementation are complex
 - Now, shared file caches are moved
 - It adds unclear check as page_mapcount(). To do correct check,
   we should check swap users, etc.
 - No one notice this implementation behavior. So, no one get benefit
   from the design.
 - In general, once task is moved to a cgroup for running, it will not
   be moved....
 - Finally, we have control knob as memory.move_charge_at_immigrate.

Here is a patch to allow moving shared pages, completely. This makes
memcg simpler and fix current broken code.

Hugh Dickins bde05d1ccd shmem: replace page if mapping excludes its zone
The GMA500 GPU driver uses GEM shmem objects, but with a new twist: the
backing RAM has to be below 4GB.  Not a problem while the boards
supported only 4GB: but now Intel's D2700MUD boards support 8GB, and
their GMA3600 is managed by the GMA500 driver.

shmem/tmpfs has never pretended to support hardware restrictions on the
backing memory, but it might have appeared to do so before v3.1, and
even now it works fine until a page is swapped out then back in.  When
read_cache_page_gfp() supplied a freshly allocated page for copy, that
compensated for whatever choice might have been made by earlier swapin
readahead; but swapoff was likely to destroy the illusion.

We'd like to continue to support GMA500, so now add a new
shmem_should_replace_page() check on the zone when about to move a page
from swapcache to filecache (in swapin and swapoff cases), with
shmem_replace_page() to allocate and substitute a suitable page (given
gma500/gem.c's mapping_set_gfp_mask GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_DMA32).

This does involve a minor extension to mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache()
(the page may or may not have already been charged); and I've removed a
comment and call to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page(), which in fact is
always a no-op while PageSwapCache.

Also removed optimization of an unlikely path in shmem_getpage_gfp(),
now that we need to check PageSwapCache more carefully (a racing caller
might already have made the copy).  And at one point shmem_unuse_inode()
needs to use the hitherto private page_swapcount(), to guard against
racing with inode eviction.

It would make sense to extend shmem_should_replace_page(), to cover
cpuset and NUMA mempolicy restrictions too, but set that aside for now:
needs a cleanup of shmem mempolicy handling, and more testing, and ought
to handle swap faults in do_swap_page() as well as shmem.

Johannes Weiner c3ac9a8ade mm: memcg: count pte references from every member of the reclaimed hierarchy
The rmap walker checking page table references has historically ignored
references from VMAs that were not part of the memcg that was being
reclaimed during memcg hard limit reclaim.

When transitioning global reclaim to memcg hierarchy reclaim, I missed
that bit and now references from outside a memcg are ignored even during
global reclaim.

Reverting back to traditional behaviour - count all references during
global reclaim and only mind references of the memcg being reclaimed
during limit reclaim would be one option.

However, the more generic idea is to ignore references exactly then when
they are outside the hierarchy that is currently under reclaim; because
only then will their reclamation be of any use to help the pressure
situation.  It makes no sense to ignore references from a sibling memcg
and then evict a page that will be immediately refaulted by that sibling
which contributes to the same usage of the common ancestor under
reclaim.

The solution: make the rmap walker ignore references from VMAs that are
not part of the hierarchy that is being reclaimed.

Flat limit reclaim will stay the same, hierarchical limit reclaim will
mind the references only to pages that the hierarchy owns.  Global
reclaim, since it reclaims from all memcgs, will be fixed to regard all
references.

Rik van Riel e709ffd616 mm: remove swap token code
The swap token code no longer fits in with the current VM model.  It
does not play well with cgroups or the better NUMA placement code in
development, since we have only one swap token globally.

It also has the potential to mess with scalability of the system, by
increasing the number of non-reclaimable pages on the active and
inactive anon LRU lists.

Last but not least, the swap token code has been broken for a year
without complaints, as reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov.  This suggests
we no longer have much use for it.

The days of sub-1G memory systems with heavy use of swap are over.  If
we ever need thrashing reducing code in the future, we will have to
implement something that does scale.

Hugh Dickins 62ade86ab6 memcg,thp: fix res_counter:96 regression
Occasionally, testing memcg's move_charge_at_immigrate on rc7 shows
a flurry of hundreds of warnings at kernel/res_counter.c:96, where
res_counter_uncharge_locked() does WARN_ON(counter->usage < val).

The first trace of each flurry implicates __mem_cgroup_cancel_charge()
of mc.precharge, and an audit of mc.precharge handling points to
mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range()'s THP handling in commit 12724850e8
("memcg: avoid THP split in task migration").

Checking !mc.precharge is good everywhere else, when a single page is to
be charged; but here the "mc.precharge -= HPAGE_PMD_NR" likely to
follow, is liable to result in underflow (a lot can change since the
precharge was estimated).

Simply check against HPAGE_PMD_NR: there's probably a better
alternative, trying precharge for more, splitting if unsuccessful; but
this one-liner is safer for now - no kernel/res_counter.c:96 warnings
seen in 26 hours.

My 9ce70c0240 "memcg: fix deadlock by inverting lrucare nesting" put a

by __mem_cgroup_commit_charge(), I used the "pc" pointer set up earlier:
but it's for oldpage, and needs now to be for newpage.  Once oldpage was
freed, its PageCgroupUsed bit (cleared above but set again here) caused
"Bad page state" messages - and perhaps worse, being missed from newpage.
(I didn't find this by using FUSE, but in reusing the function for tmpfs.)
