commit 49b0638502 upstream.
walk_page_range() and friends often operate under write-locked mmap_lock.
With introduction of vma locks, the vmas have to be locked as well during
such walks to prevent concurrent page faults in these areas. Add an
additional member to mm_walk_ops to indicate locking requirements for the
walk.
The change ensures that page walks which prevent concurrent page faults
by write-locking mmap_lock, operate correctly after introduction of
per-vma locks. With per-vma locks page faults can be handled under vma
lock without taking mmap_lock at all, so write locking mmap_lock would
not stop them. The change ensures vmas are properly locked during such
walks.
A sample issue this solves is do_mbind() performing queue_pages_range()
to queue pages for migration. Without this change a concurrent page
can be faulted into the area and be left out of migration.

In a kernel with added WARN_ON_ONCE(PageTail) in page_memcg_check(), we
observed a warning from page_cgroup_ino() when reading /proc/kpagecgroup.
This warning was added to catch fragile reads of a page memcg. Make
page_cgroup_ino() get memcg from the page's folio using
folio_memcg_check(): that gives it the correct memcg for each page of a
folio, so is the right fix.
Note that page_folio() is racy, the page's folio can change from under us,
but the entire function is racy and documented as such.
I dithered between the right fix and the safer "fix": it's unlikely but
conceivable that some userspace has learnt that /proc/kpagecgroup gives no
memcg on tail pages, and compensates for that in some (racy) way: so
continuing to give no memcg on tails, without warning, might be safer.
But hwpoison_filter_task(), the only other user of page_cgroup_ino(),
persuaded me. It looks as if it currently leaves out tail pages of the
selected memcg, by mistake: whereas hwpoison_inject() uses compound_head()
and expects the tails to be included. So hwpoison testing coverage has
probably been restricted by the wrong output from page_cgroup_ino() (if
that memcg filter is used at all): in the short term, it might be safer
not to enable wider coverage there, but long term we would regret that.
This is based on a patch originally written by Hugh Dickins and retains
most of the original commit log [1]
The patch was changed to use folio_memcg_check(page_folio(page)) instead
of page_memcg_check(compound_head(page)) based on discussions with Matthew
Wilcox; where he stated that callers of page_memcg_check() should stop
using it due to the ambiguity around tail pages -- instead they should use
folio_memcg_check() and handle tail pages themselves.

cgroups v1 has a unique way of setting up memory pressure notifications:
the user opens "memory.pressure_level" of the cgroup they want to monitor
for pressure, then open "cgroup.event_control" and write the fd (among
other things) to that file. memory.pressure_level has no other use,
specifically it does not support any read or write operations.
Consequently, no handlers are provided, and cgroup_file_mode() sets the
permissions to 000. However, to actually use the mechanism, the
subscribing user must have read access to the file and open the fd for
reading, see memcg_write_event_control().
This is all fine as long as the subscribing process runs as root and is
otherwise unconfined by further restrictions. However, if you add strict
access controls such as selinux, the permission bits will be enforced, and
opening memory.pressure_level for reading will fail, preventing the
process from subscribing, even as root.
To work around this issue, introduce a dummy read handler. When
memory.pressure_level is created, cgroup_file_mode() will notice the
existence of a handler, and therefore add read permissions to the file.

In some situations, we may end up calling memcg_rstat_updated() with a
value of 0, which means the stat was not actually updated. An example is
if we fail to reclaim any pages in shrink_folio_list().
Do not add the cgroup to the rstat updated tree in this case, to avoid
unnecessarily flushing it.

In workingset_refault(), we call
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited() to read accurate stats within
an RCU read section and with sleeping disallowed. Move the call above the
RCU read section to make it non-atomic.
Flushing is an expensive operation that scales with the number of cpus and
the number of cgroups in the system, so avoid doing it atomically where
possible.
Since workingset_refault() is the only caller of
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited(), just make it non-atomic, and
rename it to mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited().

Currently, all contexts that flush memcg stats do so with sleeping not
allowed. Some of these contexts are perfectly safe to sleep in, such as
reading cgroup files from userspace or the background periodic flusher.
Flushing is an expensive operation that scales with the number of cpus and
the number of cgroups in the system, so avoid doing it atomically where
possible.
Refactor the code to make mem_cgroup_flush_stats() non-atomic (aka
sleepable), and provide a separate atomic version. The atomic version is
used in reclaim, refault, writeback, and in mem_cgroup_usage(). All other
code paths are left to use the non-atomic version. This includes
callbacks for userspace reads and the periodic flusher.
Since refault is the only caller of mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited(),
change it to mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited(). Reclaim and
refault code paths are modified to do non-atomic flushing in separate
later patches -- so it will eventually be changed back to
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited().

As Johannes notes in [1], stats_flush_lock is currently used to:
(a) Protect updated to stats_flush_threshold.
(b) Protect updates to flush_next_time.
(c) Serializes calls to cgroup_rstat_flush() based on those ratelimits.
However:
1. stats_flush_threshold is already an atomic
2. flush_next_time is not atomic. The writer is locked, but the reader
is lockless. If the reader races with a flush, you could see this:
if (time_after(jiffies, flush_next_time))
spin_trylock()
flush_next_time = now + delay
flush()
spin_unlock()
spin_trylock()
flush_next_time = now + delay
flush()
spin_unlock()
which means we already can get flushes at a higher frequency than
FLUSH_TIME during races. But it isn't really a problem.
The reader could also see garbled partial updates if the compiler
decides to split the write, so it needs at least READ_ONCE and
WRITE_ONCE protection.
3. Serializing cgroup_rstat_flush() calls against the ratelimit
factors is currently broken because of the race in 2. But the race
is actually harmless, all we might get is the occasional earlier
flush. If there is no delta, the flush won't do much. And if there
is, the flush is justified.
So the lock can be removed all together. However, the lock also served
the purpose of preventing a thundering herd problem for concurrent
flushers, see [2]. Use an atomic instead to serve the purpose of
unifying concurrent flushers.

Currently, the only context in which we can invoke an rstat flush from irq
context is through mem_cgroup_usage() on the root memcg when called from
memcg_check_events(). An rstat flush is an expensive operation that
should not be done in irq context, so do not flush stats and use the stale
stats in this case.
Arguably, usage threshold events are not reliable on the root memcg anyway
since its usage is ill-defined.

Patch series "memcg: avoid flushing stats atomically where possible", v3.
rstat flushing is an expensive operation that scales with the number of
cpus and the number of cgroups in the system. The purpose of this series
is to minimize the contexts where we flush stats atomically.
Patches 1 and 2 are cleanups requested during reviews of prior versions of
this series.
Patch 3 makes sure we never try to flush from within an irq context.
Patches 4 to 7 introduce separate variants of mem_cgroup_flush_stats() for
atomic and non-atomic flushing, and make sure we only flush the stats
atomically when necessary.
Patch 8 is a slightly tangential optimization that limits the work done by
rstat flushing in some scenarios.
This patch (of 8):
cgroup_rstat_flush_irqsafe() can be a confusing name. It may read as
"irqs are disabled throughout", which is what the current implementation
does (currently under discussion [1]), but is not the intention. The
intention is that this function is safe to call from atomic contexts.
Name it as such.

Leonardo Bras has noticed that pcp charge cache draining might be
disruptive on workloads relying on 'isolated cpus', a feature commonly
used on workloads that are sensitive to interruption and context switching
such as vRAN and Industrial Control Systems.
There are essentially two ways how to approach the issue. We can either
allow the pcp cache to be drained on a different rather than a local cpu
or avoid remote flushing on isolated cpus.
The current pcp charge cache is really optimized for high performance and
it always relies to stick with its cpu. That means it only requires
local_lock (preempt_disable on !RT) and draining is handed over to pcp WQ
to drain locally again.
The former solution (remote draining) would require to add an additional
locking to prevent local charges from racing with the draining. This adds
an atomic operation to otherwise simple arithmetic fast path in the
try_charge path. Another concern is that the remote draining can cause a
lock contention for the isolated workloads and therefore interfere with it
indirectly via user space interfaces.
Another option is to avoid draining scheduling on isolated cpus
altogether. That means that those remote cpus would keep their charges
even after drain_all_stock returns. This is certainly not optimal either
but it shouldn't really cause any major problems. In the worst case (many
isolated cpus with charges - each of them with MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH i.e 64
page) the memory consumption of a memcg would be artificially higher than
can be immediately used from other cpus.
Theoretically a memcg OOM killer could be triggered pre-maturely.
Currently it is not really clear whether this is a practical problem
though. Tight memcg limit would be really counter productive to cpu
isolated workloads pretty much by definition because any memory reclaimed
induced by memcg limit could break user space timing expectations as those
usually expect execution in the userspace most of the time.
Also charges could be left behind on memcg removal. Any future charge on
those isolated cpus will drain that pcp cache so this won't be a permanent
leak.
Considering cons and pros of both approaches this patch is implementing
the second option and simply do not schedule remote draining if the target
cpu is isolated. This solution is much more simpler. It doesn't add any
new locking and it is more more predictable from the user space POV.
Should the pre-mature memcg OOM become a real life problem, we can revisit
this decision.

usually configured long before any workloads hits actual memcg oom)
but it is better to use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE to prevent compiler from
doing anything funky.
The access of memcg->oom_group is lockless, so it can be
concurrently set at the same time as we are trying to read it.

care about the negative error of isolate_lru_page(), except one user in
add_page_for_migration(). So we can convert the isolate_lru_page() to
return a boolean value, which can help to make the code more clear when
checking the return value of isolate_lru_page().
Also convert all users' logic of checking the isolation state.
No functional changes intended.

Currently there are two kmem-related helper functions with a confusing
semantics: memcg_kmem_enabled() and mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled().
The problem is that an obvious expectation
memcg_kmem_enabled() == !mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled(),
can be false.
mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled() is similar to mem_cgroup_disabled(): it returns
true only if CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not set or the kmem accounting is
disabled using a boot time kernel option "cgroup.memory=nokmem". It never
changes the value dynamically.
memcg_kmem_enabled() is different: it always returns false until the first
non-root memory cgroup will get online (assuming the kernel memory
accounting is enabled). It's goal is to improve the performance on
systems without the cgroupfs mounted/memory controller enabled or on the
systems with only the root memory cgroup.
To make things more obvious and avoid potential bugs, let's rename
memcg_kmem_enabled() to memcg_kmem_online().

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

For each node, memcgs are divided into two generations: the old and
the young. For each generation, memcgs are randomly sharded into
multiple bins to improve scalability. For each bin, an RCU hlist_nulls
is virtually divided into three segments: the head, the tail and the
default.
An onlining memcg is added to the tail of a random bin in the old
generation. The eviction starts at the head of a random bin in the old
generation. The per-node memcg generation counter, whose reminder (mod
2) indexes the old generation, is incremented when all its bins become
empty.
There are four operations:
1. MEMCG_LRU_HEAD, which moves an memcg to the head of a random bin in
its current generation (old or young) and updates its "seg" to
"head";
2. MEMCG_LRU_TAIL, which moves an memcg to the tail of a random bin in
its current generation (old or young) and updates its "seg" to
"tail";
3. MEMCG_LRU_OLD, which moves an memcg to the head of a random bin in
the old generation, updates its "gen" to "old" and resets its "seg"
to "default";
4. MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG, which moves an memcg to the tail of a random bin
in the young generation, updates its "gen" to "young" and resets
its "seg" to "default".
The events that trigger the above operations are:
1. Exceeding the soft limit, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_HEAD;
2. The first attempt to reclaim an memcg below low, which triggers
MEMCG_LRU_TAIL;
3. The first attempt to reclaim an memcg below reclaimable size
threshold, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_TAIL;
4. The second attempt to reclaim an memcg below reclaimable size
threshold, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG;
5. Attempting to reclaim an memcg below min, which triggers
MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG;
6. Finishing the aging on the eviction path, which triggers
MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG;
7. Offlining an memcg, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_OLD.
Note that memcg LRU only applies to global reclaim, and the
round-robin incrementing of their max_seq counters ensures the
eventual fairness to all eligible memcgs. For memcg reclaim, it still
relies on mem_cgroup_iter().

Charge moving mode in cgroup1 allows memory to follow tasks as they
migrate between cgroups. This is, and always has been, a questionable
thing to do - for several reasons.
First, it's expensive. Pages need to be identified, locked and isolated
from various MM operations, and reassigned, one by one.
Second, it's unreliable. Once pages are charged to a cgroup, there isn't
always a clear owner task anymore. Cache isn't moved at all, for example.
Mapped memory is moved - but if trylocking or isolating a page fails,
it's arbitrarily left behind. Frequent moving between domains may leave a
task's memory scattered all over the place.
Third, it isn't really needed. Launcher tasks can kick off workload tasks
directly in their target cgroup. Using dedicated per-workload groups
allows fine-grained policy adjustments - no need to move tasks and their
physical pages between control domains. The feature was never
forward-ported to cgroup2, and it hasn't been missed.
Despite it being a niche usecase, the maintenance overhead of supporting
it is enormous. Because pages are moved while they are live and subject
to various MM operations, the synchronization rules are complicated.
There are lock_page_memcg() in MM and FS code, which non-cgroup people
don't understand. In some cases we've been able to shift code and cgroup
API calls around such that we can rely on native locking as much as
possible. But that's fragile, and sometimes we need to hold MM locks for
longer than we otherwise would (pte lock e.g.).
Mark the feature deprecated. Hopefully we can remove it soon.
And backport into -stable kernels so that people who develop against
earlier kernels are warned about this deprecation as early as possible.

Patch series "mm: push down lock_page_memcg()", v2.
This patch (of 3):
During charge moving, the pte lock and the page lock cover nearly all
cases of stabilizing page_mapped(). The only exception is when we're
looking at a non-present pte and find a page in the page cache or in the
swapcache: if the page is mapped elsewhere, it can become unmapped outside
of our control. For this reason, rmap needs lock_page_memcg().
We don't like cgroup-specific locks in generic MM code - especially in
performance-critical MM code - and for a legacy feature that's unlikely to
have many users left - if any.
So remove the exception. Arguably that's better semantics anyway: the
page is shared, and another process seems to be the more active user.
Once we stop moving such pages, rmap doesn't need lock_page_memcg()
anymore. The next patch will remove it.

I'd been worried by high "swapcached" counts in memcg OOM reports, thought
we had a problem freeing swapcache, but it was just the accounting that
was wrong.
Two issues:
1. When __remove_mapping() removes swapcache,
__delete_from_swap_cache() relies on memcg_data for the right counts to
be updated; but that had already been reset by mem_cgroup_swapout().
Swap those calls around - mem_cgroup_swapout() does not require the
swapcached flag to be set.
6.1 commit ac35a49023 ("mm: multi-gen LRU: minimal
implementation") already made a similar swap for workingset_eviction(),
but not for this.
2. memcg's "swapcached" count was added for memcg v2 stats, but
displayed on OOM even for memcg v1: so mem_cgroup_move_account() ought
to move it.

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

memcg_write_event_control() accesses the dentry->d_name of the specified
control fd to route the write call. As a cgroup interface file can't be
renamed, it's safe to access d_name as long as the specified file is a
regular cgroup file. Also, as these cgroup interface files can't be
removed before the directory, it's safe to access the parent too.
Prior to 347c4a8747 ("memcg: remove cgroup_event->cft"), there was a
call to __file_cft() which verified that the specified file is a regular
cgroupfs file before further accesses. The cftype pointer returned from
__file_cft() was no longer necessary and the commit inadvertently dropped
the file type check with it allowing any file to slip through. With the
invarients broken, the d_name and parent accesses can now race against
renames and removals of arbitrary files and cause use-after-free's.
Fix the bug by resurrecting the file type check in __file_cft(). Now that
cgroupfs is implemented through kernfs, checking the file operations needs
to go through a layer of indirection. Instead, let's check the superblock
and dentry type.

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

Kswapd will reclaim memory when memory pressure is high, the annonymous
memory will be compressed and stored in the zpool if zswap is enabled.
The memcg_kmem_bypass() in get_obj_cgroup_from_page() will bypass the
kernel thread and cause the compressed memory not be charged to its memory
cgroup.
Remove the memcg_kmem_bypass() call and properly charge compressed memory
to its corresponding memory cgroup.

Introduce preempt_[dis|enable_nested() and use it to clean up

On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels, spinlocks and rwlocks are neither disabling
preemption nor interrupts. Though there are a few places which depend on
the implicit preemption/interrupt disable of those locks, e.g. seqcount
write sections, per CPU statistics updates etc.
PREEMPT_RT added open coded CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT conditionals to
disable/enable preemption in the related code parts all over the
place. That's hard to read and does not really explain why this is
necessary.
Linus suggested to use helper functions (preempt_disable_nested() and
preempt_enable_nested()) and use those in the affected places. On !RT
enabled kernels these functions are NOPs, but contain a lockdep assert to
validate that preemption is actually disabled to catch call sites which
do not have preemption disabled.

The swapaccounting= commandline option already does very little today. To
close a trivial containment failure case, the swap ownership tracking part
of the swap controller has recently become mandatory (see commit
2d1c498072 ("mm: memcontrol: make swap tracking an integral part of
memory control") for details), which makes up the majority of the work
during swapout, swapin, and the swap slot map.
The only thing left under this flag is the page_counter operations and the
visibility of the swap control files in the first place, which are rather
meager savings. There also aren't many scenarios, if any, where
controlling the memory of a cgroup while allowing it unlimited access to a
global swap space is a workable resource isolation strategy.
On the other hand, there have been several bugs and confusion around the
many possible swap controller states (cgroup1 vs cgroup2 behavior, memory
accounting without swap accounting, memcg runtime disabled).
This puts the maintenance overhead of retaining the toggle above its
practical benefits. Deprecate it.

Patch series "memcg swap fix & cleanups".
This patch (of 4):
Since commit 2d1c498072 ("mm: memcontrol: make swap tracking an integral
part of memory control"), the cgroup swap arrays are used to track memory
ownership at the time of swap readahead and swapoff, even if swap space
*accounting* has been turned off by the user via swapaccount=0 (which sets
cgroup_memory_noswap).
However, the patch was overzealous: by simply dropping the
cgroup_memory_noswap conditionals in the swapon, swapoff and uncharge
path, it caused the cgroup arrays being allocated even when the memory
controller as a whole is disabled. This is a waste of that memory.
Restore mem_cgroup_disabled() checks, implied previously by
cgroup_memory_noswap, in the swapon, swapoff, and swap_entry_free
callbacks.

The struct memcg_vmstats and struct memcg_vmstats_percpu contains two
arrays each for events of size NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS which can be as large as
110. However the memcg v1 only uses 4 of those while memcg v2 uses 15.
The union of both is 17. On a 64 bit system, we are wasting approximately
((110 - 17) * 8 * 2) * (nr_cpus + 1) bytes which is significant on large
machines.
This patch reduces the size of the given structures by adding one
indirection and only stores array of events which are actually used by the
memcg code. With this patch, the size of memcg_vmstats has reduced from
2544 bytes to 1056 bytes while the size of memcg_vmstats_percpu has

Patch series "memcg: reduce memory overhead of memory cgroups".
Currently a lot of memory is wasted to maintain the vmevents for memory
cgroups as we have multiple arrays of size NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS which can be
as large as 110. However memcg code uses small portion of those entries.
This patch series eliminate this overhead by removing the unneeded vmevent
entries from memory cgroup data structures.
This patch (of 3):
This is a preparatory patch to reduce the memory overhead of memory
cgroup. The struct memcg_vmstats is the largest object embedded into the
struct mem_cgroup. This patch extracts struct memcg_vmstats from struct
mem_cgroup to ease the following patches in reducing the size of struct
memcg_vmstats.
