* memcg: move charges to root cgroup if use_hierarchy=0KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2012-05-301-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When killing a res_counter which is a child of other counter, we need to do res_counter_uncharge(child, xxx) res_counter_charge(parent, xxx) This is not atomic and wastes CPU. This patch adds res_counter_uncharge_until(). This function's uncharge propagates to ancestors until specified res_counter. res_counter_uncharge_until(child, parent, xxx) Now the operation is atomic and efficient.

* memcg: fix/change behavior of shared anon at moving taskKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2012-05-301-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

Three methods - can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach() - are converted to use cgroup_taskset. This unifies passed parameters so that all methods have access to all information.

After a follow up discussion with Michal, it was agreed it would be better to leave the kmem controller with just the tcp files, deferring the behavior of the other general memory.kmem.* files for a later time, when more caches are controlled. This is because generic kmem files are not used by tcp accounting and it is not clear how other slab caches would fit into the scheme. We are reverting the original commit so we can track the reference. Part of the patch is kept, because it was used by the later tcp code.

To avoid excessive overhead in the network fast paths, the code that accounts allocated memory to a cgroup is hidden inside a static_branch(). This branch is patched out until the first non-root cgroup is created. So when nobody is using cgroups, even if it is mounted, no significant performance penalty should be seen.

* memcg: skip scanning active lists based on individual sizeJohannes Weiner2011-11-031-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reclaim decides to skip scanning an active list when the corresponding inactive list is above a certain size in comparison to leave the assumed working set alone while there are still enough reclaim candidates around. The memcg implementation of comparing those lists instead reports whether the whole memcg is low on the requested type of inactive pages, considering all nodes and zones. This can lead to an oversized active list not being scanned because of the state of the other lists in the memcg, as well as an active list being scanned while its corresponding inactive list has enough pages. Not only is this wrong, it's also a scalability hazard, because the global memory state over all nodes and zones has to be gathered for each memcg and zone scanned. Make these calculations purely based on the size of the two LRU lists that are actually affected by the outcome of the decision.

* memcg: Revert "memcg: add memory.vmscan_stat"Johannes Weiner2011-09-151-84/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Revert the post-3.0 commit 82f9d486e59f5 ("memcg: add memory.vmscan_stat"). The implementation of per-memcg reclaim statistics violates how memcg hierarchies usually behave: hierarchically. The reclaim statistics are accounted to child memcgs and the parent hitting the limit, but not to hierarchy levels in between. Usually, hierarchical statistics are perfectly recursive, with each level representing the sum of itself and all its children. Since this exports statistics to userspace, this may lead to confusion and problems with changing things after the release, so revert it now, we can try again later.

But it doesn't because we considered we needed to make a concensus for such new APIs. This patch is a trial to add memory.scan_stat. This shows - the number of scanned pages(total, anon, file) - the number of rotated pages(total, anon, file) - the number of freed pages(total, anon, file) - the number of elaplsed time (including sleep/pause time) for both of direct/soft reclaim. The biggest difference with oringinal Ying's one is that this file can be reset by some write, as # echo 0 ...../memory.scan_stat Example of output is here. This is a result after make -j 6 kernel under 300M limit.

This will be useful for further memcg developments and need to be developped before we do some complicated rework on LRU/softlimit management. This patch adds a new struct memcg_scanrecord into scan_control struct. sc->nr_scanned at el is not designed for exporting information. For example, nr_scanned is reset frequentrly and incremented +2 at scanning mapped pages. To avoid complexity, I added a new param in scan_control which is for exporting scanning score.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and leads to some problems: * cgroup creation is out-of-control * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping * it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children', where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values. The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to the 'tasks' file. This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread: https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used. This is a userspace-visible change. Commit 45531757b45c ("cgroup: notify ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal.

* cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacksBen Blum2011-05-271-8/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when attaching an entire threadgroup. Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped (though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to attach_task and attach.

* memcg: update documentation to describe usage_in_bytesDaisuke Nishimura2011-04-281-2/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since 569b846d ("memcg: coalesce uncharge during unmap/truncate"), we do batched (delayed) uncharge at truncation/unmap. And since cdec2e42(memcg: coalesce charging via percpu storage), we have percpu cache for res_counter. These changes improved performance of memory cgroup very much, but made res_counter->usage usually have a bigger value than the actual value of memory usage. So, *.usage_in_bytes, which show res_counter->usage, are not desirable for precise values of memory(and swap) usage anymore. Instead of removing these files completely(because we cannot know res_counter->usage without them), this patch updates the meaning of those files.
