13583c3d32 mm: memcontrol: use special workqueue for creating per-memcg caches
Creating a lot of cgroups at the same time might stall all worker
threads with kmem cache creation works, because kmem cache creation is
done with the slab_mutex held.  The problem was amplified by commits
801faf0db8 ("mm/slab: lockless decision to grow cache") in case of
SLAB and 81ae6d0395 ("mm/slub.c: replace kick_all_cpus_sync() with
synchronize_sched() in kmem_cache_shrink()") in case of SLUB, which
increased the maximal time the slab_mutex can be held.

To prevent that from happening, let's use a special ordered single
threaded workqueue for kmem cache creation.  This shouldn't introduce
any functional changes regarding how kmem caches are created, as the
work function holds the global slab_mutex during its whole runtime
anyway, making it impossible to run more than one work at a time.  By
using a single threaded workqueue, we just avoid creating a thread per
each work.  Ordering is required to avoid a situation when a cgroup's
work is put off indefinitely because there are other cgroups to serve,
in other words to guarantee fairness.

89a2848381 mm: memcontrol: do not recurse in direct reclaim
On 4.0, we saw a stack corruption from a page fault entering direct
memory cgroup reclaim, calling into btrfs_releasepage(), which then
tried to allocate an extent and recursed back into a kmem charge ad
nauseam:

  __do_page_fault+0x177/0x420
  do_page_fault+0xc/0x10
  page_fault+0x22/0x30

On later kernels, kmem charging is opt-in rather than opt-out, and that
particular kmem allocation in btrfs_releasepage() is no longer being
charged and won't recurse and overrun the stack anymore.

But it's not impossible for an accounted allocation to happen from the
memcg direct reclaim context, and we needed to reproduce this crash many
times before we even got a useful stack trace out of it.

Like other direct reclaimers, mark tasks in memcg reclaim PF_MEMALLOC to
avoid recursing into any other form of direct reclaim.  Then let
recursive charges from PF_MEMALLOC contexts bypass the cgroup limit.

2d75807383 mm: memcontrol: consolidate cgroup socket tracking
The cgroup core and the memory controller need to track socket ownership
for different purposes, but the tracking sites being entirely different
is kind of ugly.

Be a better citizen and rename the memory controller callbacks to match
the cgroup core callbacks, then move them to the same place.

f6ab1f7f6b mm, swap: use offset of swap entry as key of swap cache
This patch is to improve the performance of swap cache operations when
the type of the swap device is not 0.  Originally, the whole swap entry
value is used as the key of the swap cache, even though there is one
radix tree for each swap device.  If the type of the swap device is not
0, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache will be increased
unnecessary, especially on 64bit architecture.  For example, for a 1GB
swap device on the x86_64 architecture, the height of the radix tree of
the swap cache is 11.  But if the offset of the swap entry is used as
the key of the swap cache, the height of the radix tree of the swap
cache is 4.  The increased height causes unnecessary radix tree
descending and increased cache footprint.

This patch reduces the height of the radix tree of the swap cache via
using the offset of the swap entry instead of the whole swap entry value
as the key of the swap cache.  In 32 processes sequential swap out test
case on a Xeon E5 v3 system with RAM disk as swap, the lock contention
for the spinlock of the swap cache is reduced from 20.15% to 12.19%,
when the type of the swap device is 1.

Use the whole swap entry as key,

0247f3f4d7 mm/memcontrol.c: make the walk_page_range() limit obvious
mem_cgroup_count_precharge() and mem_cgroup_move_charge() both call
walk_page_range() on the range 0 to ~0UL, neither provide a pte_hole
callback, which causes the current implementation to skip non-vma
regions.  This is all fine but follow up changes would like to make
walk_page_range more generic so it is better to be explicit about which
range to traverse so let's use highest_vm_end to explicitly traverse
only user mmaped memory.

7c5f64f844 mm: oom: deduplicate victim selection code for memcg and global oom
When selecting an oom victim, we use the same heuristic for both memory
cgroup and global oom.  The only difference is the scope of tasks to
select the victim from.  So we could just export an iterator over all
memcg tasks and keep all oom related logic in oom_kill.c, but instead we
duplicate pieces of it in memcontrol.c reusing some initially private
functions of oom_kill.c in order to not duplicate all of it.  That looks
ugly and error prone, because any modification of select_bad_process
should also be propagated to mem_cgroup_out_of_memory.

Let's rework this as follows: keep all oom heuristic related code private
to oom_kill.c and make oom_kill.c use exported memcg functions when it's
really necessary (like in case of iterating over memcg tasks).

db2ba40c27 mm: memcontrol: make per-cpu charge cache IRQ-safe for socket accounting
During cgroup2 rollout into production, we started encountering css
refcount underflows and css access crashes in the memory controller.
Splitting the heavily shared css reference counter into logical users
narrowed the imbalance down to the cgroup2 socket memory accounting.

The problem turns out to be the per-cpu charge cache.  Cgroup1 had a
separate socket counter, but the new cgroup2 socket accounting goes
through the common charge path that uses a shared per-cpu cache for all
memory that is being tracked.  Those caches are safe against scheduling
preemption, but not against interrupts - such as the newly added packet
receive path.  When cache draining is interrupted by network RX taking
pages out of the cache, the resuming drain operation will put references
of in-use pages, thus causing the imbalance.

Disable IRQs during all per-cpu charge cache operations.

358c07fcc3 mm: memcontrol: avoid unused function warning

   static struct mem_cgroup *mem_cgroup_id_get_online(struct mem_cgroup *memcg)

This moves the function inside of the #ifdef block that hides the
calling function, to avoid the warning.

615d66c37c mm: memcontrol: fix memcg id ref counter on swap charge move
Since commit 73f576c04b ("mm: memcontrol: fix cgroup creation failure

directly.  Instead, they pin memcg->id.ref.  So we should adjust the
reference counters accordingly when moving swap charges between cgroups.

1f47b61fb4 mm: memcontrol: fix swap counter leak on swapout from offline cgroup
An offline memory cgroup might have anonymous memory or shmem left
charged to it and no swap.  Since only swap entries pin the id of an
offline cgroup, such a cgroup will have no id and so an attempt to
swapout its anon/shmem will not store memory cgroup info in the swap
cgroup map.  As a result, memcg->swap or memcg->memsw will never get
uncharged from it and any of its ascendants.

Fix this by always charging swapout to the first ancestor cgroup that
hasn't released its id yet.

c4159a75b6 mm: memcontrol: only mark charged pages with PageKmemcg
To distinguish non-slab pages charged to kmemcg we mark them PageKmemcg,
which sets page->_mapcount to -512.  Currently, we set/clear PageKmemcg
in __alloc_pages_nodemask()/free_pages_prepare() for any page allocated
with __GFP_ACCOUNT, including those that aren't actually charged to any
cgroup, i.e. allocated from the root cgroup context.  To avoid overhead
in case cgroups are not used, we only do that if memcg_kmem_enabled() is
true.  The latter is set iff there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups
(online or offline).  The root cgroup is not considered kmem-enabled.

As a result, if a page is allocated with __GFP_ACCOUNT for the root
cgroup when there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups and is freed after all
kmem-enabled memory cgroups were removed, e.g.

  # no memory cgroups has been created yet, create one
  mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
  # run something allocating pages with __GFP_ACCOUNT, e.g.
  # a program using pipe
  dmesg | tail
  # remove the memory cgroup
  rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test

we'll get bad page state bug complaining about page->_mapcount != -1:

  BUG: Bad page state in process swapper/0  pfn:1fd945c
  page:ffffea007f651700 count:0 mapcount:-511 mapping:          (null) index:0x0
  flags: 0x1000000000000000()

To avoid that, let's mark with PageKmemcg only those pages that are
actually charged to and hence pin a non-root memory cgroup.

d6507ff533 memcg: put soft limit reclaim out of way if the excess tree is empty
We've had a report about soft lockups caused by lock bouncing in the

There are no memcgs created so there cannot be any in the soft limit
excess obviously:

  [...]
  memory  0       1       1

so all this just seems to be mem_cgroup_largest_soft_limit_node trying
to get spin_lock_irq(&mctz->lock) just to find out that the soft limit
excess tree is empty.  This is just pointless wasting of cycles and
cache line bouncing during heavy parallel reclaim on large machines.
The particular machine wasn't very healthy and most probably suffering
from a memory leak which just caused the memory reclaim to trash
heavily.  But bouncing on the lock certainly didn't help...

Fix this by optimistic lockless check and bail out early if the tree is
empty.  This is theoretically racy but that shouldn't matter all that
much.  First of all soft limit is a best effort feature and it is slowly
getting deprecated and its usage should be really scarce.  Bouncing on a
lock without a good reason is surely much bigger problem, especially on
large CPU machines.

efdc949079 mm: fix memcg stack accounting for sub-page stacks
We should account for stacks regardless of stack size, and we need to
account in sub-page units if THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE.  Change the units
to kilobytes and Move it into account_kernel_stack().

LRU list contents and counts are updated separately.  Counts are updated
before pages are added to the LRU and updated after pages are removed.
The warning above is from a check in mem_cgroup_update_lru_size that
ensures that list sizes of zero are empty.

The problem is that node-lru needs to account for highmem pages if
CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set.  One impact of the implementation is that the
sizes are updated in multiple passes when pages from multiple zones were
isolated.  This happens whether HIGHMEM is set or not.  When multiple
zones are isolated, it's possible for a debugging check in memcg to be
tripped.

This patch forces all the zone counts to be updated before the memcg
function is called.

ef8f232799 mm, memcg: move memcg limit enforcement from zones to nodes
Memcg needs adjustment after moving LRUs to the node.  Limits are
tracked per memcg but the soft-limit excess is tracked per zone.  As
global page reclaim is based on the node, it is easy to imagine a
situation where a zone soft limit is exceeded even though the memcg
limit is fine.

This patch moves the soft limit tree the node.  Technically, all the
variable names should also change but people are already familiar by the
meaning of "mz" even if "mn" would be a more appropriate name now.

a9dd0a8310 mm, vmscan: make shrink_node decisions more node-centric
Earlier patches focused on having direct reclaim and kswapd use data
that is node-centric for reclaiming but shrink_node() itself still uses
too much zone information.  This patch removes unnecessary zone-based
information with the most important decision being whether to continue
reclaim or not.  Some memcg APIs are adjusted as a result even though
memcg itself still uses some zone information.

599d0c954f mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node
This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such
as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking.

Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is
necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node
logic.  Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry
logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and
active sizes.  It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a
per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache
lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks.

Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note
that it introduces a number of anomalies.  For example, the scans are
per-zone but using per-node counters.  We also mark a node as congested
when a zone is congested.  This causes weird problems that are fixed
later but is easier to review.

In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to
the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions

1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem

   When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU
   list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same
   highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem
   keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages
   arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially
   could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list.

   That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that
   highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages.

2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails

   This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during
   memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

a52633d8e9 mm, vmscan: move lru_lock to the node
Node-based reclaim requires node-based LRUs and locking.  This is a
preparation patch that just moves the lru_lock to the node so later
patches are easier to review.  It is a mechanical change but note this
patch makes contention worse because the LRU lock is hotter and direct
reclaim and kswapd can contend on the same lock even when reclaiming
from different zones.

55779ec759 mm: fix vm-scalability regression in cgroup-aware workingset code
Commit 23047a96d7 ("mm: workingset: per-cgroup cache thrash
detection") added a page->mem_cgroup lookup to the cache eviction,
refault, and activation paths, as well as locking to the activation
path, and the vm-scalability tests showed a regression of -23%.

While the test in question is an artificial worst-case scenario that
doesn't occur in real workloads - reading two sparse files in parallel
at full CPU speed just to hammer the LRU paths - there is still some
optimizations that can be done in those paths.

Inline the lookup functions to eliminate calls.  Also, page->mem_cgroup
doesn't need to be stabilized when counting an activation; we merely
need to hold the RCU lock to prevent the memcg from being freed.

This cuts down on overhead quite a bit:

1af8bb4326 mm, oom: fortify task_will_free_mem()
task_will_free_mem is rather weak.  It doesn't really tell whether the
task has chance to drop its mm.  98748bd722 ("oom: consider
multi-threaded tasks in task_will_free_mem") made a first step into making
it more robust for multi-threaded applications so now we know that the
whole process is going down and probably drop the mm.

This patch builds on top for more complex scenarios where mm is shared
between different processes - CLONE_VM without CLONE_SIGHAND, or in kernel
use_mm().

Make sure that all processes sharing the mm are killed or exiting.  This
will allow us to replace try_oom_reaper by wake_oom_reaper because
task_will_free_mem implies the task is reapable now.  Therefore all paths
which bypass the oom killer are now reapable and so they shouldn't lock up
the oom killer.

73f576c04b mm: memcontrol: fix cgroup creation failure after many small jobs
The memory controller has quite a bit of state that usually outlives the
cgroup and pins its CSS until said state disappears.  At the same time
it imposes a 16-bit limit on the CSS ID space to economically store IDs
in the wild.  Consequently, when we use cgroups to contain frequent but
small and short-lived jobs that leave behind some page cache, we quickly
run into the 64k limitations of outstanding CSSs.  Creating a new cgroup
fails with -ENOSPC while there are only a few, or even no user-visible
cgroups in existence.

Although pinning CSSs past cgroup removal is common, there are only two
instances that actually need an ID after a cgroup is deleted: cache
shadow entries and swapout records.

Cache shadow entries reference the ID weakly and can deal with the CSS
having disappeared when it's looked up later.  They pose no hurdle.

Swap-out records do need to pin the css to hierarchically attribute
swapins after the cgroup has been deleted; though the only pages that
remain swapped out after offlining are tmpfs/shmem pages.  And those
references are under the user's control, so they are manageable.

This patch introduces a private 16-bit memcg ID and switches swap and
cache shadow entries over to using that.  This ID can then be recycled
after offlining when the CSS remains pinned only by objects that don't
specifically need it.

This script demonstrates the problem by faulting one cache page in a new
cgroup and deleting it again:

  set -e
  mkdir -p pages
  for x in `seq 128000`; do
    [ $((x % 1000)) -eq 0 ] && echo $x
    mkdir /cgroup/foo
    echo $$ >/cgroup/foo/cgroup.procs
    echo trex >pages/$x
    echo $$ >/cgroup/cgroup.procs
    rmdir /cgroup/foo
  done

When run on an unpatched kernel, we eventually run out of possible IDs
even though there are no visible cgroups:

  [root@ham ~]# ./cssidstress.sh
  [...]
  65000
  mkdir: cannot create directory '/cgroup/foo': No space left on device

After this patch, the IDs get released upon cgroup destruction and the
cache and css objects get released once memory reclaim kicks in.

d93c4130a7 memcg: mem_cgroup_migrate() may be called with irq disabled
mem_cgroup_migrate() uses local_irq_disable/enable() but can be called
with irq disabled from migrate_page_copy().  This ends up enabling irq
while holding a irq context lock triggering the following lockdep

3a06bb78ce memcg: add RCU locking around css_for_each_descendant_pre() in memcg_offline_kmem()
memcg_offline_kmem() may be called from memcg_free_kmem() after a css
init failure.  memcg_free_kmem() is a ->css_free callback which is
called without cgroup_mutex and memcg_offline_kmem() ends up using

cbedbac3e6 mm/memcontrol.c: fix the margin computation in mem_cgroup_margin()
mem_cgroup_margin() might return (memory.limit - memory_count) when the
memsw.limit is in excess.  This doesn't happen usually because we do not
allow excess on hard limits and (memory.limit <= memsw.limit), but
__GFP_NOFAIL charges can force the charge and cause the excess when no
memory is really swappable (swap is full or no anonymous memory is
left).

1ebab2db06 memcg: fix mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() return value.
mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() is returning "true" if it finds a TIF_MEMDIE
task after an eligible task was found, "false" if it found a TIF_MEMDIE
task before an eligible task is found.

This difference confuses memory_max_write() which checks the return
value of mem_cgroup_out_of_memory().  Since memory_max_write() wants to
continue looping, mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() should return "true" in
this case.

This patch sets a dummy pointer in order to return "true".

3ef22dfff2 oom, oom_reaper: try to reap tasks which skip regular OOM killer path
If either the current task is already killed or PF_EXITING or a selected
task is PF_EXITING then the oom killer is suppressed and so is the oom
reaper.  This patch adds try_oom_reaper which checks the given task and
queues it for the oom reaper if that is safe to be done meaning that the
task doesn't share the mm with an alive process.

This might help to release the memory pressure while the task tries to
exit.

9d5e6a9f22 mm: update_lru_size do the __mod_zone_page_state
Konstantin Khlebnikov pointed out (nearly four years ago, when lumpy
reclaim was removed) that lru_size can be updated by -nr_taken once per
call to isolate_lru_pages(), instead of page by page.

Update it inside isolate_lru_pages(), or at its two callsites? I chose
to update it at the callsites, rearranging and grouping the updates by
nr_taken and nr_scanned together in both.

With one exception, mem_cgroup_update_lru_size(,lru,) is then used where
__mod_zone_page_state(,NR_LRU_BASE+lru,) is used; and we shall be adding
some more calls in a future commit.  Make the code a little smaller and
simpler by incorporating stat update in lru_size update.

The exception was move_active_pages_to_lru(), which aggregated the
pgmoved stat update separately from the individual lru_size updates; but
I still think this a simplification worth making.

However, the __mod_zone_page_state is not peculiar to mem_cgroups: so
better use the name update_lru_size, calls mem_cgroup_update_lru_size
when CONFIG_MEMCG.

ca707239e8 mm: update_lru_size warn and reset bad lru_size
Though debug kernels have a VM_BUG_ON to help protect from misaccounting
lru_size, non-debug kernels are liable to wrap it around: and then the
vast unsigned long size draws page reclaim into a loop of repeatedly
doing nothing on an empty list, without even a cond_resched().

That soft lockup looks confusingly like an over-busy reclaim scenario,
with lots of contention on the lru_lock in shrink_inactive_list(): yet
has a totally different origin.

Help differentiate with a custom warning in
mem_cgroup_update_lru_size(), even in non-debug kernels; and reset the
size to avoid the lockup.  But the particular bug which suggested this
change was mine alone, and since fixed.

Make it a WARN_ONCE: the first occurrence is the most informative, a
flurry may follow, yet even when rate-limited little more is learnt.

fda3d69be9 mm/memcontrol.c:mem_cgroup_select_victim_node(): clarify comment

I guess the comment tries to say that the code path is triggered when we
charge the page which happens _before_ it is added to the LRU list and
so last_scanned_node might contain the stale data.

264a0ae164 memcg: relocate charge moving from ->attach to ->post_attach
Hello,

So, this ended up a lot simpler than I originally expected.  I tested
it lightly and it seems to work fine.  Petr, can you please test these
two patches w/o the lru drain drop patch and see whether the problem
is gone?

Thanks.

If charge moving is used, memcg performs relabeling of the affected
pages from its ->attach callback which is called under both
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem and thus can't create new kthreads.  This is
fragile as various operations may depend on workqueues making forward
progress which relies on the ability to create new kthreads.

There's no reason to perform charge moving from ->attach which is deep
in the task migration path.  Move it to ->post_attach which is called
after the actual migration is finished and cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem is
dropped.

* move_charge_struct->mm is added and ->can_attach is now responsible
  for pinning and recording the target mm.  mem_cgroup_clear_mc() is
  updated accordingly.  This also simplifies mem_cgroup_move_task().

* mem_cgroup_move_task() is now called from ->post_attach instead of
  ->attach.

e0775d10f1 mm: memcontrol: zap oom_info_lock
mem_cgroup_print_oom_info is always called under oom_lock, so
oom_info_lock is redundant.

8b5926560f mm: memcontrol: clarify the uncharge_list() loop
uncharge_list() does an unusual list walk because the function can take
regular lists with dedicated list_heads as well as singleton lists where
a single page is passed via the page->lru list node.

This can sometimes lead to confusion as well as suggestions to replace
the loop with a list_for_each_entry(), which wouldn't work.

b6e6edcfa4 mm: memcontrol: reclaim and OOM kill when shrinking memory.max below usage
Setting the original memory.limit_in_bytes hardlimit is subject to a
race condition when the desired value is below the current usage.  The
code tries a few times to first reclaim and then see if the usage has
dropped to where we would like it to be, but there is no locking, and
the workload is free to continue making new charges up to the old limit.
Thus, attempting to shrink a workload relies on pure luck and hope that
the workload happens to cooperate.

To fix this in the cgroup2 memory.max knob, do it the other way round:
set the limit first, then try enforcement.  And if reclaim is not able
to succeed, trigger OOM kills in the group.  Keep going until the new
limit is met, we run out of OOM victims and there's only unreclaimable
memory left, or the task writing to memory.max is killed.  This allows
users to shrink groups reliably, and the behavior is consistent with
what happens when new charges are attempted in excess of memory.max.
