Currently memcg stats show several types of kernel memory: kernel stack, page tables, sock, vmalloc, and slab. However, there are other allocations with __GFP_ACCOUNT (or supersets such as GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT) that are not accounted in any of those stats, a few examples are: - various kvm allocations (e.g. allocated pages to create vcpus) - io_uring - tmp_page in pipes during pipe_write() - bpf ringbuffers - unix sockets Keeping track of the total kernel memory is essential for the ease of migration from cgroup v1 to v2 as there are large discrepancies between v1's kmem.usage_in_bytes and the sum of the available kernel memory stats in v2. Adding separate memcg stats for all __GFP_ACCOUNT kernel allocations is an impractical maintenance burden as there a lot of those all over the kernel code, with more use cases likely to show up in the future. Therefore, add a "kernel" memcg stat that is analogous to kmem page counter, with added benefits such as using rstat infrastructure which aggregates stats more efficiently. Additionally, this provides a lighter alternative in case the legacy kmem is deprecated in the future [yosryahmed@google.com: v2] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220203193856.972500-1-yosryahmed@google.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220201200823.3283171-1-yosryahmed@google.com Signed-off-by: Yosry Ahmed <yosryahmed@google.com> Acked-by: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@google.com> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Cc: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |
