Currently MOVE_ANON and MOVE_FILE flags are defined as integers
and it leads to the following Smatch static checker warning:
mm/memcontrol-v1.c:609 mem_cgroup_move_charge_write()
warn: was expecting a 64 bit value instead of '~(1 | 2)'
Fix this be redefining them as unsigned long long.
Even though the issue allows to set high 32 bits of mc.flags
to an arbitrary number, these bits are never used, so it doesn't
have any significant consequences.

CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM used to be a user-visible option for whether slab
tracking is enabled. It has been default-enabled and equivalent to
CONFIG_MEMCG for almost a decade. We've only grown more kernel memory
accounting sites since, and there is no imaginable cgroup usecase going
forward that wants to track user pages but not the multitude of
user-drivable kernel allocations.

Gather all memcg1-specific struct mem_cgroup's members initialization in a
new memcg1_memcg_init() function, defined in mm/memcontrol-v1.c.
Obviously, if CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 is not set, there is no need to initialize
these fields, so the function becomes trivial.

Move out the legacy cgroup v1 socket memory accounting code into
mm/memcontrol-v1.c.
This commit introduces three new functions: memcg1_tcpmem_active(),
memcg1_charge_skmem() and memcg1_uncharge_skmem(), which contain all
cgroup v1-specific code and become trivial if CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 isn't set.
Note, that !!memcg->tcpmem_pressure check in
mem_cgroup_under_socket_pressure() can't be easily moved into
memcontrol-v1.h without including memcontrol-v1.h from memcontrol.h which
isn't a good idea, so it's better to just #ifdef it.

Patch series "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under
CONFIG_MEMCG_V1".
This patchset puts all cgroup v1's members of struct mem_cgroup, struct
mem_cgroup_per_node and struct task_struct under the CONFIG_MEMCG_V1
config option. If cgroup v1 support is not required (and it's true for
many cgroup users these days), it allows to save a bit of memory and
compile out some code, some of which is on relatively hot paths. It also
structures the code a bit better by grouping cgroup v1-specific stuff in
one place.
This patch (of 9):
memcg_account_kmem() consists of a trivial statistics change via
mod_memcg_state() call and a relatively large memcg1-specific part.
Let's factor out the mod_memcg_state() call and move the rest into the
mm/memcontrol-v1.c file. Also rename memcg_account_kmem() into
memcg1_account_kmem() for consistency.

Allow proactive reclaimers to submit an additional swappiness=<val>
argument to memory.reclaim. This overrides the global or per-memcg
swappiness setting for that reclaim attempt.
For example:
echo "2M swappiness=0" > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory.reclaim
will perform reclaim on the rootcg with a swappiness setting of 0 (no
swap) regardless of the vm.swappiness sysctl setting.
Userspace proactive reclaimers use the memory.reclaim interface to trigger
reclaim. The memory.reclaim interface does not allow for any way to
effect the balance of file vs anon during proactive reclaim. The only
approach is to adjust the vm.swappiness setting. However, there are a few
reasons we look to control the balance of file vs anon during proactive
reclaim, separately from reactive reclaim:
* Swapout should be limited to manage SSD write endurance. In near-OOM
situations we are fine with lots of swap-out to avoid OOMs. As these
are typically rare events, they have relatively little impact on write
endurance. However, proactive reclaim runs continuously and so its
impact on SSD write endurance is more significant. Therefore it is
desireable to control swap-out for proactive reclaim separately from
reactive reclaim
* Some userspace OOM killers like systemd-oomd[1] support OOM killing on
swap exhaustion. This makes sense if the swap exhaustion is triggered
due to reactive reclaim but less so if it is triggered due to proactive
reclaim (e.g. one could see OOMs when free memory is ample but anon is
just particularly cold). Therefore, it's desireable to have proactive
reclaim reduce or stop swap-out before the threshold at which OOM
killing occurs.
In the case of Meta's Senpai proactive reclaimer, we adjust vm.swappiness
before writes to memory.reclaim[2]. This has been in production for
nearly two years and has addressed our needs to control proactive vs
reactive reclaim behavior but is still not ideal for a number of reasons:
* vm.swappiness is a global setting, adjusting it can race/interfere
with other system administration that wishes to control vm.swappiness.
In our case, we need to disable Senpai before adjusting vm.swappiness.
* vm.swappiness is stateful - so a crash or restart of Senpai can leave
a misconfigured setting. This requires some additional management to
record the "desired" setting and ensure Senpai always adjusts to it.
With this patch, we avoid these downsides of adjusting vm.swappiness
globally.

Patch series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim", v6.
This patch proposes augmenting the memory.reclaim interface with a

instance of proactive reclaim.
Userspace proactive reclaimers use the memory.reclaim interface to trigger

With this patch, we avoid these downsides of adjusting vm.swappiness
globally.
Previously, this exact interface addition was proposed by Yosry[3]. In
response, Roman proposed instead an interface to specify precise
file/anon/slab reclaim amounts[4]. More recently Huan also proposed this
as well[5] and others similarly questioned if this was the proper
interface.
Previous proposals sought to use this to allow proactive reclaimers to
effectively perform a custom reclaim algorithm by issuing proactive
reclaim with different settings to control file vs anon reclaim (e.g. to
only reclaim anon from some applications). Responses argued that
adjusting swappiness is a poor interface for custom reclaim.
In contrast, I argue in favor of a swappiness setting not as a way to
implement custom reclaim algorithms but rather to bias the balance of anon
vs file due to differences of proactive vs reactive reclaim. In this
context, swappiness is the existing interface for controlling this balance
and this patch simply allows for it to be configured differently for
proactive vs reactive reclaim.
Specifying explicit amounts of anon vs file pages to reclaim feels
inappropriate for this prupose. Proactive reclaimers are un-aware of the
relative age of file vs anon for a cgroup which makes it difficult to
manage proactive reclaim of different memory pools. A proactive reclaimer
would need some amount of anon reclaim attempts separate from the amount
of file reclaim attempts which seems brittle given that it's difficult to
observe the impact.

Patch series "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under
config option", v2.
Cgroups v2 have been around for a while and many users have fully adopted
them, so they never use cgroups v1 features and functionality. Yet they
have to "pay" for the cgroup v1 support anyway:
1) the kernel binary contains an unused cgroup v1 code,
2) some code paths have additional checks which are not needed,
3) some common structures like task_struct and mem_cgroup contain unused
cgroup v1-specific members.
Cgroup v1's memory controller has a number of features that are not
supported by cgroup v2 and their implementation is pretty much self
contained. Most notably, these features are: soft limit reclaim, oom
handling in userspace, complicated event notification system, charge
migration. Cgroup v1-specific code in memcontrol.c is close to 4k lines
in size and it's intervened with generic and cgroup v2-specific code.
It's a burden on developers and maintainers.
This patchset aims to solve these problems by:
1) moving cgroup v1-specific memcg code to the new mm/memcontrol-v1.c file,
2) putting definitions shared by memcontrol.c and memcontrol-v1.c into the
mm/memcontrol-v1.h header,
3) introducing the CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 config option, turned off by default,
4) making memcontrol-v1.c to compile only if CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 is set.
If CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 is not set, cgroup v1 memory controller is still available
for mounting, however no memory-specific control knobs are present.
This patch (of 14):
This patch introduces the mm/memcontrol-v1.c source file which will be
used for all legacy (cgroup v1) memory cgroup code. It also introduces
mm/memcontrol-v1.h to keep declarations shared between mm/memcontrol.c and
mm/memcontrol-v1.c.
As of now, let's compile it if CONFIG_MEMCG is set, similar to
mm/memcontrol.c. Later on it can be switched to use a separate config
option, so that the legacy code won't be compiled if not required.
