Patch series "memcg-v1: fully deprecate charge moving".
The memcg v1's charge moving feature has been deprecated for almost 2
years and the kernel warns if someone try to use it. This warning has
been backported to all stable kernel and there have not been any report of
the warning or the request to support this feature anymore. Let's proceed
to fully deprecate this feature.
This patch (of 6):
Proceed with the complete deprecation of memcg v1's charge moving feature.
The deprecation warning has been in the kernel for almost two years and
has been ported to all stable kernel since. Now is the time to fully
deprecate this feature.

The pressure_level in memcg v1 provides memory pressure notifications to
the user space. At the moment it provides notifications for three levels
of memory pressure i.e. low, medium and critical, which are defined based
on internal memory reclaim implementation details. More specifically the
ratio of scanned and reclaimed pages during a memory reclaim. However
this is not robust as there are workloads with mostly unreclaimable user
memory or kernel memory.
For v2, the users can use PSI for memory pressure status of the system or
the cgroup. Let's start the deprecation process for pressure_level and
add warnings to gather the info on how the current users are using this
interface and how they can be used to PSI.

The oom_control provides functionality to disable memcg oom-killer,
notifications on oom-kill and reading the stats regarding oom-kills. This
interface was mainly introduced to provide functionality for userspace
oom-killers. However it is not robust enough and only supports OOM
handling in the page fault path.
For v2, the users can use the combination of memory.events notifications,
memory.high and PSI to provide userspace OOM-killing functionality.
Actually LMKD in Android and OOMd in systemd and Meta infrastructure
already use PSI in combination with other stats to implement userspace
OOM-killing.
Let's start the deprecation process for v1 and gather the info on how the
current users are using this interface and work on providing a more robust
functionality in v2.

Memcg v1 provides soft limit functionality for the best effort memory
sharing between multiple workloads on a system. It is usually triggered
through kswapd and at the moment does not reclaim kernel memory.
Memcg v2 provides more straightforward best effort (memory.low) and hard
protection (memory.min) functionalities. Let's initiate the deprecation
of soft limit from v1 and gather if v2 needs something more to move the
existing v1 users to v2 regarding soft limit.

Patch series "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features", v2.
Start the deprecation process of the memcg v1 features which we discussed
during LSFMMBPF 2024 [1]. For now add the warnings to collect the
information on how the current users are using these features. Next we
will work on providing better alternatives in v2 (if needed) and fully
deprecate these features.
Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/974575 [1]
This patch (of 4):
Memcg v1 provides opt-in TCP memory accounting feature. However it is
mostly unused due to its performance impact on the network traffic. In
v2, the TCP memory is accounted in the regular memory usage and is
transparent to the users but they can observe the TCP memory usage through
memcg stats.
Let's initiate the deprecation process of memcg v1's tcp accounting
functionality and add warnings to gather if there are any users and if
there are, collect how they are using it and plan to provide them better
alternative in v2.

Currently, when pids.max limit is breached in the hierarchy, the event
is counted and reported in the cgroup where the forking task resides.
This decouples the limit and the notification caused by the limit making
it hard to detect when the actual limit was effected.
Redefine the pids.events:max as: the number of times the limit of the
cgroup was hit.
(Implementation differentiates also "forkfail" event but this is
currently not exposed as it would better fit into pids.stat. It also
differs from pids.events:max only when pids.max is configured on
non-leaf cgroups.)
Since it changes semantics of the original "max" event, introduce this
change only in the v2 API of the controller and add a cgroup2 mount
option to revert to the legacy behavior.

Patch series "Expose swapcache stat for memcg v1", v2.
Since commit b603894248 ("mm: memcg: add swapcache stat for memcg v2")
adds swapcache stat for the cgroup v2, it seems there is no reason to hide
it in memcg v1. Conversely, with swapcached it is more accurate to
evaluate the available memory for memcg.

This reverts commits 86327e8eb9 ("memcg: drop kmem.limit_in_bytes") and
partially reverts 58056f7750 ("memcg, kmem: further deprecate
kmem.limit_in_bytes") which have incrementally removed support for the
kernel memory accounting hard limit. Unfortunately it has turned out that
there is still userspace depending on the existence of
memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes [1]. The underlying functionality is not
really required but the non-existent file just confuses the userspace
which fails in the result. The patch to fix this on the userspace side
has been submitted but it is hard to predict how it will propagate through
the maze of 3rd party consumers of the software.
Now, reverting alone 86327e8eb9 is not an option because there is
another set of userspace which cannot cope with ENOTSUPP returned when
writing to the file. Therefore we have to go and revisit 58056f7750 as
well. There are two ways to go ahead. Either we give up on the
deprecation and fully revert 58056f7750 as well or we can keep
kmem.limit_in_bytes but make the write a noop and warn about the fact.
This should work for both known breaking workloads which depend on the
existence but do not depend on the hard limit enforcement.
Note to backporters to stable trees. a8c49af3be ("memcg: add per-memcg
total kernel memory stat") introduced in 4.18 has added memcg_account_kmem
so the accounting is not done by obj_cgroup_charge_pages directly for v1
anymore. Prior kernels need to add it explicitly (thanks to Johannes for
pointing this out).

kmem.limit_in_bytes (v1 way to limit kernel memory usage) has been
deprecated since 58056f7750 ("memcg, kmem: further deprecate
kmem.limit_in_bytes") merged in 5.16. We haven't heard about any serious
users since then but it seems that the mere presence of the file is
causing more harm thatn good. We (SUSE) have had several bug reports from
customers where Docker based containers started to fail because a write to
kmem.limit_in_bytes has failed.
This was unexpected because runc code only expects ENOENT (kmem disabled)
or EBUSY (tasks already running within cgroup). So a new error code was
unexpected and the whole container startup failed. This has been later
addressed by
52390d6804
so current Docker runtimes do not suffer from the problem anymore. There
are still older version of Docker in use and likely hard to get rid of
completely.
Address this by wiping out the file completely and effectively get back to
pre 4.5 era and CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=n configuration.
I would recommend backporting to stable trees which have picked up
58056f7750 ("memcg, kmem: further deprecate kmem.limit_in_bytes").

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.

Since 2d1c498072 ("mm: memcontrol: make swap tracking an integral part
of memory control"), CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP hasn't been a user-visible config
option anymore, it just means CONFIG_MEMCG && CONFIG_SWAP.
Update the sites accordingly and drop the symbol.
[ While touching the docs, remove two references to CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM,
which hasn't been a user-visible symbol for over half a decade. ]

During the integration of PREEMPT_RT support, the code flow around
memcg_check_events() resulted in `twisted code'. Moving the code around
and avoiding then would then lead to an additional local-irq-save
section within memcg_check_events(). While looking better, it adds a
local-irq-save section to code flow which is usually within an
local-irq-off block on non-PREEMPT_RT configurations.
The threshold event handler is a deprecated memcg v1 feature. Instead
of trying to get it to work under PREEMPT_RT just disable it. There
should be no users on PREEMPT_RT. From that perspective it makes even
less sense to get it to work under PREEMPT_RT while having zero users.
Make memory.soft_limit_in_bytes and cgroup.event_control return
-EOPNOTSUPP on PREEMPT_RT. Make an empty memcg_check_events() and
memcg_write_event_control() which return only -EOPNOTSUPP on PREEMPT_RT.
Document that the two knobs are disabled on PREEMPT_RT.

For hugetlb backed jobs/VMs it's critical to understand the numa
information for the memory backing these jobs to deliver optimal
performance.
Currently this technically can be queried from /proc/self/numa_maps, but
there are significant issues with that. Namely:
1. Memory can be mapped or unmapped.
2. numa_maps are per process and need to be aggregated across all
processes in the cgroup. For shared memory this is more involved as
the userspace needs to make sure it doesn't double count shared
mappings.
3. I believe querying numa_maps needs to hold the mmap_lock which adds
to the contention on this lock.
For these reasons I propose simply adding hugetlb.*.numa_stat file,
which shows the numa information of the cgroup similarly to
memory.numa_stat.
On cgroup-v2:
cat /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/test/hugetlb.2MB.numa_stat
total=2097152 N0=2097152 N1=0
On cgroup-v1:
cat /sys/fs/cgroup/hugetlb/test/hugetlb.2MB.numa_stat
total=2097152 N0=2097152 N1=0
hierarichal_total=2097152 N0=2097152 N1=0
This patch was tested manually by allocating hugetlb memory and querying
the hugetlb.*.numa_stat file of the cgroup and its parents.

The deprecation process of kmem.limit_in_bytes started with the commit
0158115f70 ("memcg, kmem: deprecate kmem.limit_in_bytes") which also
explains in detail the motivation behind the deprecation. To summarize,
it is the unexpected behavior on hitting the kmem limit. This patch
moves the deprecation process to the next stage by disallowing to set
the kmem limit. In future we might just remove the kmem.limit_in_bytes
file completely.

Commit bf382fb0bcef4 ("block: remove legacy IO schedulers", Oct 12 2018)
removes the CFQ scheduler, together with blkio.weight and
blkio.weight_device described in cgroup v1 documentation. Users are
supposed to use the BFQ scheduler, which cgroup file for setting weight
is blkio.bfq.weight, but there is no way to set per-device weight.
Later, commit 795fe54c2a per-device weights for BFQ, meaning that
blkio.bfq.weight and blkio.bfq.weight_device can be used in a way
similar to the old CFQ cgroup interface.
Yet, the cgroup v1 docs were never updated. Fix this:
- use the new file names;
- fix the range for weight (used to be 10..1000, now 1..1000);
- link to BFQ scheduler docs.

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
"The only notable change is Vipin's new misc cgroup controller.
This implements generic support for resources which can be controlled
by simply counting and limiting the number of resource instances - ie
there's X number of these on the system and this cgroup subtree can
have upto Y of those.
The first user is the address space IDs used for virtual machine
memory encryption and expected future usages are similar - niche
hardware features with concrete resource limits and simple usage
models"

When debugging an oom issue, I found the oom_kill counter of memcg is
confusing. At the first glance without checking document, I thought it
just counts for memcg oom, but it turns out it counts both global and
memcg oom.
The cgroup v2 documents it, but the description is missed for cgroup v1.
