| * writeback: fix incorrect calculation of available memory for memcg domainsTejun Heo2015-10-121-18/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For memcg domains, the amount of available memory was calculated as min(the amount currently in use + headroom according to memcg, total clean memory) This isn't quite correct as what should be capped by the amount of clean memory is the headroom, not the sum of memory in use and headroom. For example, if a memcg domain has a significant amount of dirty memory, the above can lead to a value which is lower than the current amount in use which doesn't make much sense. In most circumstances, the above leads to a number which is somewhat but not drastically lower. As the amount of memory which can be readily allocated to the memcg domain is capped by the amount of system-wide clean memory which is not already assigned to the memcg itself, the number we want is the amount currently in use + min(headroom according to memcg, clean memory elsewhere in the system) This patch updates mem_cgroup_wb_stats() to return the number of filepages and headroom instead of the calculated available pages. mdtc_cap_avail() is renamed to mdtc_calc_avail() and performs the above calculation from file, headroom, dirty and globally clean pages. v2: Dummy mem_cgroup_wb_stats() implementation wasn't updated leading to build failure when !CGROUP_WRITEBACK.

* memcg: make mem_cgroup_read_stat() unsignedGreg Thelen2015-10-021-12/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mem_cgroup_read_stat() returns a page count by summing per cpu page counters. The summing is racy wrt. updates, so a transient negative sum is possible. Callers don't want negative values: - mem_cgroup_wb_stats() doesn't want negative nr_dirty or nr_writeback. This could confuse dirty throttling. - oom reports and memory.stat shouldn't show confusing negative usage. - tree_usage() already avoids negatives. Avoid returning negative page counts from mem_cgroup_read_stat() and convert it to unsigned.

* memcg: add page_cgroup_ino helperVladimir Davydov2015-09-101-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patchset introduces a new user API for tracking user memory pages that have not been used for a given period of time. The purpose of this is to provide the userspace with the means of tracking a workload's working set, i.e. the set of pages that are actively used by the workload. Knowing the working set size can be useful for partitioning the system more efficiently, e.g. by tuning memory cgroup limits appropriately, or for job placement within a compute cluster. ==== USE CASES ==== The unified cgroup hierarchy has memory.low and memory.high knobs, which are defined as the low and high boundaries for the workload working set size. However, the working set size of a workload may be unknown or change in time. With this patch set, one can periodically estimate the amount of memory unused by each cgroup and tune their memory.low and memory.high parameters accordingly, therefore optimizing the overall memory utilization. Another use case is balancing workloads within a compute cluster. Knowing how much memory is not really used by a workload unit may help take a more optimal decision when considering migrating the unit to another node within the cluster. Also, as noted by Minchan, this would be useful for per-process reclaim (https://lwn.net/Articles/545668/). With idle tracking, we could reclaim idle pages only by smart user memory manager. ==== USER API ==== The user API consists of two new files: * /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap. This file implements a bitmap where each bit corresponds to a page, indexed by PFN. When the bit is set, the corresponding page is idle. A page is considered idle if it has not been accessed since it was marked idle. To mark a page idle one should set the bit corresponding to the page by writing to the file. A value written to the file is OR-ed with the current bitmap value. Only user memory pages can be marked idle, for other page types input is silently ignored. Writing to this file beyond max PFN results in the ENXIO error. Only available when CONFIG_IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING is set. This file can be used to estimate the amount of pages that are not used by a particular workload as follows: 1. mark all pages of interest idle by setting corresponding bits in the /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap 2. wait until the workload accesses its working set 3. read /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap and count the number of bits set * /proc/kpagecgroup. This file contains a 64-bit inode number of the memory cgroup each page is charged to, indexed by PFN. Only available when CONFIG_MEMCG is set. This file can be used to find all pages (including unmapped file pages) accounted to a particular cgroup. Using /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap, one can then estimate the cgroup working set size. For an example of using these files for estimating the amount of unused memory pages per each memory cgroup, please see the script attached below. ==== REASONING ==== The reason to introduce the new user API instead of using /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps} is that the latter has two serious drawbacks: - it does not count unmapped file pages - it affects the reclaimer logic The new API attempts to overcome them both. For more details on how it is achieved, please see the comment to patch 6. ==== PATCHSET STRUCTURE ==== The patch set is organized as follows: - patch 1 adds page_cgroup_ino() helper for the sake of /proc/kpagecgroup and patches 2-3 do related cleanup - patch 4 adds /proc/kpagecgroup, which reports cgroup ino each page is charged to - patch 5 introduces a new mmu notifier callback, clear_young, which is a lightweight version of clear_flush_young; it is used in patch 6 - patch 6 implements the idle page tracking feature, including the userspace API, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap - patch 7 exports idle flag via /proc/kpageflags ==== SIMILAR WORKS ==== Originally, the patch for tracking idle memory was proposed back in 2011 by Michel Lespinasse (see http://lwn.net/Articles/459269/). The main difference between Michel's patch and this one is that Michel implemented a kernel space daemon for estimating idle memory size per cgroup while this patch only provides the userspace with the minimal API for doing the job, leaving the rest up to the userspace. However, they both share the same idea of Idle/Young page flags to avoid affecting the reclaimer logic. ==== PERFORMANCE EVALUATION ==== SPECjvm2008 (https://www.spec.org/jvm2008/) was used to evaluate the performance impact introduced by this patch set. Three runs were carried out: - base: kernel without the patch - patched: patched kernel, the feature is not used - patched-active: patched kernel, 1 minute-period daemon is used for tracking idle memory For tracking idle memory, idlememstat utility was used: https://github.com/locker/idlememstat testcase base patched patched-active compiler 537.40 ( 0.00)% 532.26 (-0.96)% 538.31 ( 0.17)% compress 305.47 ( 0.00)% 301.08 (-1.44)% 300.71 (-1.56)% crypto 284.32 ( 0.00)% 282.21 (-0.74)% 284.87 ( 0.19)% derby 411.05 ( 0.00)% 413.44 ( 0.58)% 412.07 ( 0.25)% mpegaudio 189.96 ( 0.00)% 190.87 ( 0.48)% 189.42 (-0.28)% scimark.large 46.85 ( 0.00)% 46.41 (-0.94)% 47.83 ( 2.09)% scimark.small 412.91 ( 0.00)% 415.41 ( 0.61)% 421.17 ( 2.00)% serial 204.23 ( 0.00)% 213.46 ( 4.52)% 203.17 (-0.52)% startup 36.76 ( 0.00)% 35.49 (-3.45)% 35.64 (-3.05)% sunflow 115.34 ( 0.00)% 115.08 (-0.23)% 117.37 ( 1.76)% xml 620.55 ( 0.00)% 619.95 (-0.10)% 620.39 (-0.03)% composite 211.50 ( 0.00)% 211.15 (-0.17)% 211.67 ( 0.08)% time idlememstat: 17.20user 65.16system 2:15:23elapsed 1%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 8476maxresident)k 448inputs+40outputs (1major+36052minor)pagefaults 0swaps ==== SCRIPT FOR COUNTING IDLE PAGES PER CGROUP ==== #! /usr/bin/python # import os import stat import errno import struct CGROUP_MOUNT = "/sys/fs/cgroup/memory" BUFSIZE = 8 * 1024 # must be multiple of 8 def get_hugepage_size(): with open("/proc/meminfo", "r") as f: for s in f: k, v = s.split(":") if k == "Hugepagesize": return int(v.split()[0]) * 1024 PAGE_SIZE = os.sysconf("SC_PAGE_SIZE") HUGEPAGE_SIZE = get_hugepage_size() def set_idle(): f = open("/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap", "wb", BUFSIZE) while True: try: f.write(struct.pack("Q", pow(2, 64) - 1)) except IOError as err: if err.errno == errno.ENXIO: break raise f.close() def count_idle(): f_flags = open("/proc/kpageflags", "rb", BUFSIZE) f_cgroup = open("/proc/kpagecgroup", "rb", BUFSIZE) with open("/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap", "rb", BUFSIZE) as f: while f.read(BUFSIZE): pass # update idle flag idlememsz = {} while True: s1, s2 = f_flags.read(8), f_cgroup.read(8) if not s1 or not s2: break flags, = struct.unpack('Q', s1) cgino, = struct.unpack('Q', s2) unevictable = (flags >> 18) & 1 huge = (flags >> 22) & 1 idle = (flags >> 25) & 1 if idle and not unevictable: idlememsz[cgino] = idlememsz.get(cgino, 0) + \ (HUGEPAGE_SIZE if huge else PAGE_SIZE) f_flags.close() f_cgroup.close() return idlememsz if __name__ == "__main__": print "Setting the idle flag for each page..." set_idle() raw_input("Wait until the workload accesses its working set, " "then press Enter") print "Counting idle pages..." idlememsz = count_idle() for dir, subdirs, files in os.walk(CGROUP_MOUNT): ino = os.stat(dir)[stat.ST_INO] print dir + ": " + str(idlememsz.get(ino, 0) / 1024) + " kB" ==== END SCRIPT ==== This patch (of 8): Add page_cgroup_ino() helper to memcg.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sk_prot->proto_cgroup is allowed to return NULL but sock_update_memcg doesn't check for NULL. The function relies on the mem_cgroup_is_root check because we shouldn't get NULL otherwise because mem_cgroup_from_task will always return !NULL. All other callers are checking for NULL and we can safely replace mem_cgroup_is_root() check by cg_proto != NULL which will be more straightforward (proto_cgroup returns NULL for the root memcg already).

* mm: memcontrol: bring back the VM_BUG_ON() in mem_cgroup_swapout()Sebastian Andrzej Siewior2015-09-051-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clark stumbled over a VM_BUG_ON() in -RT which was then was removed by Johannes in commit f371763a79d ("mm: memcontrol: fix false-positive VM_BUG_ON() on -rt"). The comment before that patch was a tiny bit better than it is now. While the patch claimed to fix a false-postive on -RT this was not the case. None of the -RT folks ACKed it and it was not a false positive report. That was a *real* problem. This patch updates the comment that is improper because it refers to "disabled preemption" as a consequence of that lock being taken. A spin_lock() disables preemption, true, but in this case the code relies on the fact that the lock _also_ disables interrupts once it is acquired. And this is the important detail (which was checked the VM_BUG_ON()) which needs to be pointed out. This is the hint one needs while looking at the code. It was explained by Johannes on the list that the per-CPU variables are protected by local_irq_save(). The BUG_ON() was helpful. This code has been workarounded in -RT in the meantime. I wouldn't mind running into more of those if the code in question uses *special* kind of locking since now there is no verification (in terms of lockdep or BUG_ON()) and therefore I bring the VM_BUG_ON() check back in. The two functions after the comment could also have a "local_irq_save()" dance around them in order to serialize access to the per-CPU variables. This has been avoided because the interrupts should be off.

| * writeback: implement memcg writeback domain based throttlingTejun Heo2015-06-021-0/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While cgroup writeback support now connects memcg and blkcg so that writeback IOs are properly attributed and controlled, the IO back pressure propagation mechanism implemented in balance_dirty_pages() and its subroutines wasn't aware of cgroup writeback. Processes belonging to a memcg may have access to only subset of total memory available in the system and not factoring this into dirty throttling rendered it completely ineffective for processes under memcg limits and memcg ended up building a separate ad-hoc degenerate mechanism directly into vmscan code to limit page dirtying. The previous patches updated balance_dirty_pages() and its subroutines so that they can deal with multiple wb_domain's (writeback domains) and defined per-memcg wb_domain. Processes belonging to a non-root memcg are bound to two wb_domains, global wb_domain and memcg wb_domain, and should be throttled according to IO pressures from both domains. This patch updates dirty throttling code so that it repeats similar calculations for the two domains - the differences between the two are few and minor - and applies the lower of the two sets of resulting constraints. wb_over_bg_thresh(), which controls when background writeback terminates, is also updated to consider both global and memcg wb_domains. It returns true if dirty is over bg_thresh for either domain. This makes the dirty throttling mechanism operational for memcg domains including writeback-bandwidth-proportional dirty page distribution inside them but the ad-hoc memcg throttling mechanism in vmscan is still in place. The next patch will rip it out.

| * writeback: reset wb_domain->dirty_limit[_tstmp] when memcg domain size changesTejun Heo2015-06-021-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The amount of available memory to a memcg wb_domain can change as memcg configuration changes. A domain's ->dirty_limit exists to smooth out sudden drops in dirty threshold; however, when a domain's size actually drops significantly, it hinders the dirty throttling from adjusting to the new configuration leading to unexpected behaviors including unnecessary OOM kills. This patch resolves the issue by adding wb_domain_size_changed() which resets ->dirty_limit[_tstmp] and making memcg call it on configuration changes.

| * writeback: implement memcg wb_domainTejun Heo2015-06-021-0/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dirtyable memory is distributed to a wb (bdi_writeback) according to the relative bandwidth the wb is writing out in the whole system. This distribution is global - each wb is measured against all other wb's and gets the proportinately sized portion of the memory in the whole system. For cgroup writeback, the amount of dirtyable memory is scoped by memcg and thus each wb would need to be measured and controlled in its memcg. IOW, a wb will belong to two writeback domains - the global and memcg domains. The previous patches laid the groundwork to support the two wb_domains and this patch implements memcg wb_domain. memcg->cgwb_domain is initialized on css online and destroyed on css release, wb->memcg_completions is added, and __wb_writeout_inc() is updated to increment completions against both global and memcg wb_domains. The following patches will update balance_dirty_pages() and its subroutines to actually consider memcg wb_domain for throttling.

| * memcg: make mem_cgroup_read_{stat|event}() iterate possible cpus instead of ↵Tejun Heo2015-06-021-49/+2

For systems which don't support CPU hotplug, this will match cpu_online_mask exactly in most cases. Even for systems which support CPU hotplug, the number of possible CPU slots is highly unlikely to diverge greatly from the number of online CPUs. The only cases where the difference between possible and online caused problems were when the boot code failed to initialize the possible mask and left it fully set at NR_CPUS - 1. As such, most per-cpu constructs allocate for all possible CPUs and often iterate over the possibles, which also has the benefit of avoiding the blocking CPU hotplug synchronization. memcg open codes per-cpu stat counting for mem_cgroup_read_stat() and mem_cgroup_read_events(), which iterates over online CPUs and handles CPU hotplug operations explicitly. This complexity doesn't actually buy anything. Switch to iterating over the possibles and drop the explicit CPU hotplug handling. Eventually, we want to convert memcg to use percpu_counter instead of its own custom implementation which also benefits from quick access w/o summing for cases where larger error margin is acceptable. This will allow mem_cgroup_read_stat() to be called from non-sleepable contexts which will be used by cgroup writeback.

| * writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacksTejun Heo2015-06-021-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi (backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb (bdi_writeback). This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks). On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg. This allows using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a dedicated wb to each memcg. This means that there may be multiple wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg. As congested state is per blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested state. This is achieved by tracking congested state via bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg. bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup. cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page being dirtied or current task. Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree by its memcg id. Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be retrieved using inode_to_wb(). Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb. v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL. Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed. Both detected by the kbuild bot. v2: Updated so that wb association is per inode and wb is per memcg rather than blkcg.

This will be used by cgroup writeback support. This function assumes that page->mem_cgroup association doesn't change until the page is released, which is true on the default hierarchy as long as replace_page_cache_page() is not used. As the only user of replace_page_cache_page() is FUSE which won't support cgroup writeback for the time being, this works for now, and replace_page_cache_page() will soon be updated so that the invariant actually holds. Note that the RCU protected page->mem_cgroup access is consistent with other usages across memcg but ultimately incorrect. These unlocked accesses are missing required barriers. page->mem_cgroup should be made an RCU pointer and updated and accessed using RCU operations. v4: Instead of triggering WARN, return the root css on the traditional hierarchies. This makes the function a lot easier to deal with especially as there's no light way to synchronize against hierarchy rebinding. v3: s/mem_cgroup_migrate()/mem_cgroup_css_from_page()/ v2: Trigger WARN if the function is used on the traditional hierarchies and add comment about the assumed invariant.

This is done in the same places where global NR_FILE_DIRTY is managed. The new memcg stat is visible in the per memcg memory.stat cgroupfs file. The most recent past attempt at this was http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/8632 The new accounting supports future efforts to add per cgroup dirty page throttling and writeback. It also helps an administrator break down a container's memory usage and provides evidence to understand memcg oom kills (the new dirty count is included in memcg oom kill messages). The ability to move page accounting between memcg (memory.move_charge_at_immigrate) makes this accounting more complicated than the global counter. The existing mem_cgroup_{begin,end}_page_stat() lock is used to serialize move accounting with stat updates. Typical update operation: memcg = mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(page) if (TestSetPageDirty()) { [...] mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(memcg) } mem_cgroup_end_page_stat(memcg) Summary of mem_cgroup_end_page_stat() overhead: - Without CONFIG_MEMCG it's a no-op - With CONFIG_MEMCG and no inter memcg task movement, it's just rcu_read_lock() - With CONFIG_MEMCG and inter memcg task movement, it's rcu_read_lock() + spin_lock_irqsave() A memcg parameter is added to several routines because their callers now grab mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() which returns the memcg later needed by for mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(). Because mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() may disable interrupts, some adjustments are needed: - move __mark_inode_dirty() from __set_page_dirty() to its caller. __mark_inode_dirty() locking does not want interrupts disabled. - use spin_lock_irqsave(tree_lock) rather than spin_lock_irq() in __delete_from_page_cache(), replace_page_cache_page(), invalidate_complete_page2(), and __remove_mapping(). text data bss dec hex filename 8925147 1774832 1785856 12485835 be84cb vmlinux-!CONFIG_MEMCG-before 8925339 1774832 1785856 12486027 be858b vmlinux-!CONFIG_MEMCG-after +192 text bytes 8965977 1784992 1785856 12536825 bf4bf9 vmlinux-CONFIG_MEMCG-before 8966750 1784992 1785856 12537598 bf4efe vmlinux-CONFIG_MEMCG-after +773 text bytes Performance tests run on v4.0-rc1-36-g4f671fe2f952.

While atomic_t appears to be simple synchronization-wise, when used as a synchronization construct like here, it's trickier and more error-prone due to weak memory ordering rules, especially around atomic_read(), and false sense of security. For example, both non-trivial read sites of memcg->under_oom are a bit problematic although not being actually broken. * mem_cgroup_oom_register_event() It isn't explicit what guarantees the memory ordering between event addition and memcg->under_oom check. This isn't broken only because memcg_oom_lock is used for both event list and memcg->oom_lock. * memcg_oom_recover() The lockless test doesn't have any explanation why this would be safe. mem_cgroup_[un]mark_under_oom() are very cold paths and there's no point in avoiding locking memcg_oom_lock there. This patch converts memcg->under_oom from atomic_t to int, puts their modifications under memcg_oom_lock and documents why the lockless test in memcg_oom_recover() is safe.

The historical zonelist locking serializes OOM kills from allocations with overlapping zonelists against each other to prevent killing more tasks than necessary in the same memory domain. Only when neither tasklists nor zonelists from two concurrent OOM kills overlap (tasks in separate memcgs bound to separate nodes) are OOM kills allowed to execute in parallel. The younger oom_sem is a read-write lock to serialize OOM killing against the PM code trying to disable the OOM killer altogether. However, the OOM killer is a fairly cold error path, there is really no reason to optimize for highly performant and concurrent OOM kills. And the oom_sem is just flat-out redundant. Replace both locking schemes with a single global mutex serializing OOM kills regardless of context.

* memcg: fix low limit calculationMichal Hocko2015-02-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A memcg is considered low limited even when the current usage is equal to the low limit. This leads to interesting side effects e.g. groups/hierarchies with no memory accounted are considered protected and so the reclaim will emit MEMCG_LOW event when encountering them. Another and much bigger issue was reported by Joonsoo Kim. He has hit a NULL ptr dereference with the legacy cgroup API which even doesn't have low limit exposed. The limit is 0 by default but the initial check fails for memcg with 0 consumption and parent_mem_cgroup() would return NULL if use_hierarchy is 0 and so page_counter_read would try to dereference NULL. I suppose that the current implementation is just an overlook because the documentation in Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt says: "The memory.low boundary on the other hand is a top-down allocated reserve. A cgroup enjoys reclaim protection when it and all its ancestors are below their low boundaries" Fix the usage and the low limit comparision in mem_cgroup_low accordingly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now, the only reason to keep kmemcg_id till css free is list_lru, which uses it to distribute elements between per-memcg lists. However, it can be easily sorted out - we only need to change kmemcg_id of an offline cgroup to its parent's id, making further list_lru_add()'s add elements to the parent's list, and then move all elements from the offline cgroup's list to the one of its parent. It will work, because a racing list_lru_del() does not need to know the list it is deleting the element from. It can decrement the wrong nr_items counter though, but the ongoing reparenting will fix it. After list_lru reparenting is done we are free to release kmemcg_id saving a valuable slot in a per-memcg array for new cgroups.

* slab: embed memcg_cache_params to kmem_cacheVladimir Davydov2015-02-131-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, kmem_cache stores a pointer to struct memcg_cache_params instead of embedding it. The rationale is to save memory when kmem accounting is disabled. However, the memcg_cache_params has shrivelled drastically since it was first introduced: * Initially: struct memcg_cache_params { bool is_root_cache; union { struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0]; struct { struct mem_cgroup *memcg; struct list_head list; struct kmem_cache *root_cache; bool dead; atomic_t nr_pages; struct work_struct destroy; }; }; }; * Now: struct memcg_cache_params { bool is_root_cache; union { struct { struct rcu_head rcu_head; struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0]; }; struct { struct mem_cgroup *memcg; struct kmem_cache *root_cache; }; }; }; So the memory saving does not seem to be a clear win anymore. OTOH, keeping a pointer to memcg_cache_params struct instead of embedding it results in touching one more cache line on kmem alloc/free hot paths. Besides, it makes linking kmem caches in a list chained by a field of struct memcg_cache_params really painful due to a level of indirection, while I want to make them linked in the following patch. That said, let us embed it.

* list_lru: introduce per-memcg listsVladimir Davydov2015-02-131-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several FS shrinkers, including super_block::s_shrink, that keep reclaimable objects in the list_lru structure. Hence to turn them to memcg-aware shrinkers, it is enough to make list_lru per-memcg. This patch does the trick. It adds an array of lru lists to the list_lru_node structure (per-node part of the list_lru), one for each kmem-active memcg, and dispatches every item addition or removal to the list corresponding to the memcg which the item is accounted to. So now the list_lru structure is not just per node, but per node and per memcg. Not all list_lrus need this feature, so this patch also adds a new method, list_lru_init_memcg, which initializes a list_lru as memcg aware. Otherwise (i.e. if initialized with old list_lru_init), the list_lru won't have per memcg lists. Just like per memcg caches arrays, the arrays of per-memcg lists are indexed by memcg_cache_id, so we must grow them whenever memcg_nr_cache_ids is increased. So we introduce a callback, memcg_update_all_list_lrus, invoked by memcg_alloc_cache_id if the id space is full. The locking is implemented in a manner similar to lruvecs, i.e. we have one lock per node that protects all lists (both global and per cgroup) on the node.

* memcg: add rwsem to synchronize against memcg_caches arrays relocationVladimir Davydov2015-02-131-10/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need a stable value of memcg_nr_cache_ids in kmem_cache_create() (memcg_alloc_cache_params() wants it for root caches), where we only hold the slab_mutex and no memcg-related locks. As a result, we have to update memcg_nr_cache_ids under the slab_mutex, which we can only take on the slab's side (see memcg_update_array_size). This looks awkward and will become even worse when per-memcg list_lru is introduced, which also wants stable access to memcg_nr_cache_ids. To get rid of this dependency between the memcg_nr_cache_ids and the slab_mutex, this patch introduces a special rwsem. The rwsem is held for writing during memcg_caches arrays relocation and memcg_nr_cache_ids updates. Therefore one can take it for reading to get a stable access to memcg_caches arrays and/or memcg_nr_cache_ids. Currently the semaphore is taken for reading only from kmem_cache_create, right before taking the slab_mutex, so right now there's no much point in using rwsem instead of mutex. However, once list_lru is made per-memcg it will allow list_lru initializations to proceed concurrently.
