* mm/vmpressure.c: fix subtree pressure detectionVladimir Davydov2016-02-031-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When vmpressure is called for the entire subtree under pressure we mistakenly use vmpressure->scanned instead of vmpressure->tree_scanned when checking if vmpressure work is to be scheduled. This results in suppressing all vmpressure events in the legacy cgroup hierarchy. Fix it.

* memcg: avoid vmpressure oops when memcg disabledHugh Dickins2016-01-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A CONFIG_MEMCG=y kernel booted with "cgroup_disable=memory" crashes on a NULL memcg (but non-NULL root_mem_cgroup) when vmpressure kicks in. Here's the patch I use to avoid that, but you might prefer a test on mem_cgroup_disabled() somewhere.

* mm: memcontrol: hook up vmpressure to socket pressureJohannes Weiner2016-01-151-19/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let the networking stack know when a memcg is under reclaim pressure so that it can clamp its transmit windows accordingly. Whenever the reclaim efficiency of a cgroup's LRU lists drops low enough for a MEDIUM or HIGH vmpressure event to occur, assert a pressure state in the socket and tcp memory code that tells it to curb consumption growth from sockets associated with said control group. Traditionally, vmpressure reports for the entire subtree of a memcg under pressure, which drops useful information on the individual groups reclaimed. However, it's too late to change the userinterface, so add a second reporting mode that reports on the level of reclaim instead of at the level of pressure, and use that report for sockets. vmpressure events are naturally edge triggered, so for hysteresis assert socket pressure for a second to allow for subsequent vmpressure events to occur before letting the socket code return to normal. This will likely need finetuning for a wider variety of workloads, but for now stick to the vmpressure presets and keep hysteresis simple.

* arm, pm, vmpressure: add missing slab.h includesTejun Heo2014-02-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | arch/arm/mach-tegra/pm.c, kernel/power/console.c and mm/vmpressure.c were somehow getting slab.h indirectly through cgroup.h which in turn was getting it indirectly through xattr.h. A scheduled cgroup change drops xattr.h inclusion from cgroup.h and breaks compilation of these three files. Add explicit slab.h includes to the three files. A pending cgroup patch depends on this change and it'd be great if this can be routed through cgroup/for-3.14-fixes branch.

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.

| * cgroup: make cftype->[un]register_event() deal with cgroup_subsys_state ↵Tejun Heo2013-08-091-12/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | instead of cgroup cgroup is in the process of converting to css (cgroup_subsys_state) from cgroup as the principal subsystem interface handle. This is mostly to prepare for the unified hierarchy support where css's will be created and destroyed dynamically but also helps cleaning up subsystem implementations as css is usually what they are interested in anyway. cftype->[un]register_event() is among the remaining couple interfaces which still use struct cgroup. Convert it to cgroup_subsys_state. The conversion is mostly mechanical and removes the last users of mem_cgroup_from_cont() and cg_to_vmpressure(), which are removed. v2: indentation update as suggested by Li Zefan.

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
* | vmpressure: make sure there are no events queued after memcg is offlinedMichal Hocko2013-07-311-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* memcg: add memory.pressure_level eventsAnton Vorontsov2013-04-301-0/+374
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.
