Vladimir Davydov 5ccc5abaaf mm: free swap cache aggressively if memcg swap is full
Swap cache pages are freed aggressively if swap is nearly full (>50%
currently), because otherwise we are likely to stop scanning anonymous
when we near the swap limit even if there is plenty of freeable swap cache
pages.  We should follow the same trend in case of memory cgroup, which
has its own swap limit.

We don't scan anonymous memory if we ran out of swap, neither should we do
it in case memcg swap limit is hit, because swap out is impossible anyway.

Vladimir Davydov 37e8435119 mm: memcontrol: charge swap to cgroup2
This patchset introduces swap accounting to cgroup2.

This patch (of 7):

In the legacy hierarchy we charge memsw, which is dubious, because:

 - memsw.limit must be >= memory.limit, so it is impossible to limit
   swap usage less than memory usage. Taking into account the fact that
   the primary limiting mechanism in the unified hierarchy is
   memory.high while memory.limit is either left unset or set to a very
   large value, moving memsw.limit knob to the unified hierarchy would
   effectively make it impossible to limit swap usage according to the
   user preference.

 - memsw.usage != memory.usage + swap.usage, because a page occupying
   both swap entry and a swap cache page is charged only once to memsw
   counter. As a result, it is possible to effectively eat up to
   memory.limit of memory pages *and* memsw.limit of swap entries, which
   looks unexpected.

That said, we should provide a different swap limiting mechanism for
cgroup2.

This patch adds mem_cgroup->swap counter, which charges the actual number
of swap entries used by a cgroup.  It is only charged in the unified
hierarchy, while the legacy hierarchy memsw logic is left intact.

The swap usage can be monitored using new memory.swap.current file and
limited using memory.swap.max.

Note, to charge swap resource properly in the unified hierarchy, we have
to make swap_entry_free uncharge swap only when ->usage reaches zero, not
just ->count, i.e.  when all references to a swap entry, including the one
taken by swap cache, are gone.  This is necessary, because otherwise
swap-in could result in uncharging swap even if the page is still in swap
cache and hence still occupies a swap entry.  At the same time, this
shouldn't break memsw counter logic, where a page is never charged twice
for using both memory and swap, because in case of legacy hierarchy we
uncharge swap on commit (see mem_cgroup_commit_charge).

Johannes Weiner 0b8f73e104 mm: memcontrol: clean up alloc, online, offline, free functions
The creation and teardown of struct mem_cgroup is fairly messy and
that has attracted mistakes and subtle bugs before.

The main cause for this is that there is no clear model about what
needs to happen when, and that attracts more chaos. So create one:

1. mem_cgroup_alloc() should allocate struct mem_cgroup and its
   auxiliary members and initialize work items, locks etc. so that the
   object it returns is fully initialized and in a neutral state.

2. mem_cgroup_css_alloc() will use mem_cgroup_alloc() to obtain a new
   memcg object and configure it and the system according to the role
   of the new memory-controlled cgroup in the hierarchy.

3. mem_cgroup_css_online() is no longer needed to synchronize with
   iterators, but it verifies css->id which isn't available earlier.

4. mem_cgroup_css_offline() implements stuff that needs to happen upon
   the user-visible destruction of a cgroup, which includes stopping
   all user interfacing as well as releasing certain structures when
   continued memory consumption would be unexpected at that point.

5. mem_cgroup_css_free() prepares the system and the memcg object for
   the object's disappearance, neutralizes its state, and then gives
   it back to mem_cgroup_free().

6. mem_cgroup_free() releases struct mem_cgroup and auxiliary memory.

Johannes Weiner 52c29b0482 mm: memcontrol: account "kmem" consumers in cgroup2 memory controller
The original cgroup memory controller has an extension to account slab
memory (and other "kernel memory" consumers) in a separate "kmem"
counter, once the user set an explicit limit on that "kmem" pool.

However, this includes various consumers whose sizes are directly linked
to userspace activity.  Accounting them as an optional "kmem" extension
is problematic for several reasons:

1. It leaves the main memory interface with incomplete semantics. A
   user who puts their workload into a cgroup and configures a memory
   limit does not expect us to leave holes in the containment as big
   as the dentry and inode cache, or the kernel stack pages.

2. If the limit set on this random historical subgroup of consumers is
   reached, subsequent allocations will fail even when the main memory
   pool available to the cgroup is not yet exhausted and/or has
   reclaimable memory in it.

3. Calling it 'kernel memory' is misleading. The dentry and inode
   caches are no more 'kernel' (or no less 'user') memory than the
   page cache itself. Treating these consumers as different classes is
   a historical implementation detail that should not leak to users.

So, in addition to page cache, anonymous memory, and network socket
memory, account the following memory consumers per default in the
cgroup2 memory controller:

     - threadinfo
     - task_struct
     - task_delay_info
     - pid
     - cred
     - mm_struct
     - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
     - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
     - signal_struct
     - sighand_struct
     - fs_struct
     - files_struct
     - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
     - dentry and external_name
     - inode for all filesystems.

This should give us reasonable memory isolation for most common
workloads out of the box.

On any given memcg, the kmem accounting feature has three separate
states: not initialized, structures allocated, and actively accounting
slab memory.  These are represented through a combination of the
kmem_acct_activated and kmem_acct_active flags, which is confusing.

Convert to a kmem_state enum with the states NONE, ALLOCATED, and
ONLINE.  Then rename the functions to modify the state accordingly.
This follows the nomenclature of css object states more closely.

Johannes Weiner 6d378dac7c mm: memcontrol: drop unused @css argument in memcg_init_kmem
This series adds accounting of the historical "kmem" memory consumers to
the cgroup2 memory controller.

These consumers include the dentry cache, the inode cache, kernel stack
pages, and a few others that are pointed out in patch 7/8.  The
footprint of these consumers is directly tied to userspace activity in
common workloads, and so they have to be part of the minimally viable
configuration in order to present a complete feature to our users.

The cgroup2 interface of the memory controller is far from complete, but
this series, along with the socket memory accounting series, provides
the final semantic changes for the existing memory knobs in the cgroup2
interface, which is scheduled for initial release in the next merge
window.

This patch (of 8):

Martijn Coenen 6611d8d761 memcg: only free spare array when readers are done
A spare array holding mem cgroup threshold events is kept around to make
sure we can always safely deregister an event and have an array to store
the new set of events in.

In the scenario where we're going from 1 to 0 registered events, the
pointer to the primary array containing 1 event is copied to the spare
slot, and then the spare slot is freed because no events are left.
However, it is freed before calling synchronize_rcu(), which means
readers may still be accessing threshold->primary after it is freed.

Fixed by only freeing after synchronize_rcu().

Kirill A. Shutemov 53f9263bab mm: rework mapcount accounting to enable 4k mapping of THPs
We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound.  It
means we need to track mapcount on per small page basis.

Straight-forward approach is to use ->_mapcount in all subpages to track
how many time this subpage is mapped with PMDs or PTEs combined.  But
this is rather expensive: mapping or unmapping of a THP page with PMD
would require HPAGE_PMD_NR atomic operations instead of single we have
now.

The idea is to store separately how many times the page was mapped as
whole -- compound_mapcount.  This frees up ->_mapcount in subpages to
track PTE mapcount.

We use the same approach as with compound page destructor and compound
order to store compound_mapcount: use space in first tail page,
->mapping this time.

Any time we map/unmap whole compound page (THP or hugetlb) -- we
increment/decrement compound_mapcount.  When we map part of compound
page with PTE we operate on ->_mapcount of the subpage.

page_mapcount() counts both: PTE and PMD mappings of the page.

Basically, we have mapcount for a subpage spread over two counters.  It
makes tricky to detect when last mapcount for a page goes away.

We introduced PageDoubleMap() for this.  When we split THP PMD for the
first time and there's other PMD mapping left we offset up ->_mapcount
in all subpages by one and set PG_double_map on the compound page.
These additional references go away with last compound_mapcount.

This approach provides a way to detect when last mapcount goes away on
per small page basis without introducing new overhead for most common
cases.

Kirill A. Shutemov f627c2f537 memcg: adjust to support new THP refcounting
As with rmap, with new refcounting we cannot rely on PageTransHuge() to
check if we need to charge size of huge page form the cgroup.  We need
to get information from caller to know whether it was mapped with PMD or
PTE.

We do uncharge when last reference on the page gone.  At that point if
we see PageTransHuge() it means we need to unchange whole huge page.

The tricky part is partial unmap -- when we try to unmap part of huge
page.  We don't do a special handing of this situation, meaning we don't
uncharge the part of huge page unless last user is gone or
split_huge_page() is triggered.  In case of cgroup memory pressure
happens the partial unmapped page will be split through shrinker.  This
should be good enough.

Johannes Weiner 8e8ae64524 mm: memcontrol: hook up vmpressure to socket pressure
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.

Johannes Weiner f7e1cb6ec5 mm: memcontrol: account socket memory in unified hierarchy memory controller
Socket memory can be a significant share of overall memory consumed by
common workloads.  In order to provide reasonable resource isolation in
the unified hierarchy, this type of memory needs to be included in the
tracking/accounting of a cgroup under active memory resource control.

Overhead is only incurred when a non-root control group is created AND
the memory controller is instructed to track and account the memory
footprint of that group.  cgroup.memory=nosocket can be specified on the
boot commandline to override any runtime configuration and forcibly
exclude socket memory from active memory resource control.

Johannes Weiner e805605c72 net: tcp_memcontrol: sanitize tcp memory accounting callbacks
There won't be a tcp control soft limit, so integrating the memcg code
into the global skmem limiting scheme complicates things unnecessarily.
Replace this with simple and clear charge and uncharge calls--hidden
behind a jump label--to account skb memory.

Note that this is not purely aesthetic: as a result of shoehorning the
per-memcg code into the same memory accounting functions that handle the
global level, the old code would compare the per-memcg consumption
against the smaller of the per-memcg limit and the global limit.  This
allowed the total consumption of multiple sockets to exceed the global
limit, as long as the individual sockets stayed within bounds.  After
this change, the code will always compare the per-memcg consumption to
the per-memcg limit, and the global consumption to the global limit, and
thus close this loophole.

Without a soft limit, the per-memcg memory pressure state in sockets is
generally questionable.  However, we did it until now, so we continue to
enter it when the hard limit is hit, and packets are dropped, to let
other sockets in the cgroup know that they shouldn't grow their transmit
windows, either.  However, keep it simple in the new callback model and
leave memory pressure lazily when the next packet is accepted (as
opposed to doing it synchroneously when packets are processed).  When
packets are dropped, network performance will already be in the toilet,
so that should be a reasonable trade-off.

As described above, consumption is now checked on the per-memcg level
and the global level separately.  Likewise, memory pressure states are
maintained on both the per-memcg level and the global level, and a
socket is considered under pressure when either level asserts as much.

Vladimir Davydov 9ee11ba425 memcg: do not allow to disable tcp accounting after limit is set
There are two bits defined for cg_proto->flags - MEMCG_SOCK_ACTIVATED
and MEMCG_SOCK_ACTIVE - both are set in tcp_update_limit, but the former
is never cleared while the latter can be cleared by unsetting the limit.
This allows to disable tcp socket accounting for new sockets after it
was enabled by writing -1 to memory.kmem.tcp.limit_in_bytes while still
guaranteeing that memcg_socket_limit_enabled static key will be
decremented on memcg destruction.

This functionality looks dubious, because it is not clear what a use
case would be.  By enabling tcp accounting a user accepts the price.  If
they then find the performance degradation unacceptable, they can always
restart their workload with tcp accounting disabled.  It does not seem
there is any need to flip it while the workload is running.

Besides, it contradicts to how kmem accounting API works: writing
whatever to memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes enables kmem accounting for the
cgroup in question, after which it cannot be disabled.  Therefore one
might expect that writing -1 to memory.kmem.tcp.limit_in_bytes just
enables socket accounting w/o limiting it, which might be useful by
itself, but it isn't true.

Since this API peculiarity is not documented anywhere, I propose to drop
it.  This will allow to simplify the code by dropping cg_proto->flags.

Vladimir Davydov 230e9fc286 slab: add SLAB_ACCOUNT flag
Currently, if we want to account all objects of a particular kmem cache,
we have to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT to each kmem_cache_alloc call, which is
inconvenient.  This patch introduces SLAB_ACCOUNT flag which if passed
to kmem_cache_create will force accounting for every allocation from
this cache even if __GFP_ACCOUNT is not passed.

This patch does not make any of the existing caches use this flag - it
will be done later in the series.

Note, a cache with SLAB_ACCOUNT cannot be merged with a cache w/o
SLAB_ACCOUNT, because merged caches share the same kmem_cache struct and
hence cannot have different sets of SLAB_* flags.  Thus using this flag
will probably reduce the number of merged slabs even if kmem accounting
is not used (only compiled in).

Vladimir Davydov 6df38689e0 mm: memcontrol: fix possible memcg leak due to interrupted reclaim
Memory cgroup reclaim can be interrupted with mem_cgroup_iter_break()
once enough pages have been reclaimed, in which case, in contrast to a
full round-trip over a cgroup sub-tree, the current position stored in
mem_cgroup_reclaim_iter of the target cgroup does not get invalidated
and so is left holding the reference to the last scanned cgroup.  If the
target cgroup does not get scanned again (we might have just reclaimed
the last page or all processes might exit and free their memory
voluntary), we will leak it, because there is nobody to put the
reference held by the iterator.

The problem is easy to reproduce by running the following command
sequence in a loop:

    mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
    echo 100M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
    echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/cgroup.procs
    memhog 150M
    echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cgroup.procs
    rmdir test

The cgroups generated by it will never get freed.

This patch fixes this issue by making mem_cgroup_iter avoid taking
reference to the current position.  In order not to hit use-after-free
bug while running reclaim in parallel with cgroup deletion, we make use
of ->css_released cgroup callback to clear references to the dying
cgroup in all reclaim iterators that might refer to it.  This callback
is called right before scheduling rcu work which will free css, so if we
access iter->position from rcu read section, we might be sure it won't
go away under us.

When the memory.high threshold is exceeded, try_charge() schedules a
task_work to reclaim the excess.  The reclaim target is set to the
number of pages requested by try_charge().

This is wrong, because try_charge() usually charges more pages than
requested (batch > nr_pages) in order to refill per cpu stocks.  As a
result, a process in a cgroup can easily exceed memory.high
significantly when doing a lot of charges w/o returning to userspace
(e.g.  reading a file in big chunks).

Fix this issue by assuring that when exceeding memory.high a process
reclaims as many pages as were actually charged (i.e.  batch).

Tejun Heo 1f7dd3e5a6 cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control enabling
Consider the following v2 hierarchy.

  P0 (+memory) --- P1 (-memory) --- A
                                 \- B
       
P0 has memory enabled in its subtree_control while P1 doesn't.  If
both A and B contain processes, they would belong to the memory css of
P1.  Now if memory is enabled on P1's subtree_control, memory csses
should be created on both A and B and A's processes should be moved to
the former and B's processes the latter.  IOW, enabling controllers
can cause atomic migrations into different csses.

The core cgroup migration logic has been updated accordingly but the
controller migration methods haven't and still assume that all tasks
migrate to a single target css; furthermore, the methods were fed the
css in which subtree_control was updated which is the parent of the
target csses.  pids controller depends on the migration methods to
move charges and this made the controller attribute charges to the
wrong csses often triggering the following warning by driving a
counter negative.

This patch fixes the bug by removing @css parameter from the three
migration methods, ->can_attach, ->cancel_attach() and ->attach() and
updating cgroup_taskset iteration helpers also return the destination
css in addition to the task being migrated.  All controllers are
updated accordingly.

* Controllers which don't care whether there are one or multiple
  target csses can be converted trivially.  cpu, io, freezer, perf,
  netclassid and netprio fall in this category.

* cpuset's current implementation assumes that there's single source
  and destination and thus doesn't support v2 hierarchy already.  The
  only change made by this patchset is how that single destination css
  is obtained.

* memory migration path already doesn't do anything on v2.  How the
  single destination css is obtained is updated and the prep stage of
  mem_cgroup_can_attach() is reordered to accomodate the change.

* pids is the only controller which was affected by this bug.  It now
  correctly handles multi-destination migrations and no longer causes
  counter underflow from incorrect accounting.

them prevents it.

Mel Gorman d0164adc89 mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".

Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.

This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.

This patch then converts a number of sites

o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
  pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.

o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
  into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
  are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.

o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
  helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
  checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
  positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
  is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
  flag manipulations.

o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
  and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.

The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.

The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Michal Hocko c12176d336 memcg: fix thresholds for 32b architectures.
Commit 424cdc1413 ("memcg: convert threshold to bytes") has fixed a
regression introduced by 3e32cb2e0a ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page
counters") where thresholds were silently converted to use page units
rather than bytes when interpreting the user input.

The fix is not complete, though, as properly pointed out by Ben Hutchings
during stable backport review.  The page count is converted to bytes but
unsigned long is used to hold the value which would be obviously not
sufficient for 32b systems with more than 4G thresholds.  The same applies
to usage as taken from mem_cgroup_usage which might overflow.

Let's remove this bytes vs.  pages internal tracking differences and
handle thresholds in page units internally.  Chage mem_cgroup_usage() to
return the value in page units and revert 424cdc1413 because this should
be sufficient for the consistent handling.  mem_cgroup_read_u64 as the
only users of mem_cgroup_usage outside of the threshold handling code is
converted to give the proper in bytes result.  It is doing that already
for page_counter output so this is more consistent as well.

The value presented to the userspace is still in bytes units.

Fixes: 424cdc1413 ("memcg: convert threshold to bytes")
Fixes: 3e32cb2e0a ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters")

don't attempt to inline mem_cgroup_usage()

The compiler ignores the inline anwyay.  And __always_inlining it adds 600
bytes of goop to the .o file.

Johannes Weiner 6071ca5201 mm: page_counter: let page_counter_try_charge() return bool
page_counter_try_charge() currently returns 0 on success and -ENOMEM on
failure, which is surprising behavior given the function name.

Make it follow the expected pattern of try_stuff() functions that return a
boolean true to indicate success, or false for failure.

memory.current on the root level doesn't add anything that wouldn't be
more accurate and detailed using system statistics.  It already doesn't

Note that this applies to the new unified hierarchy interface only.

Hugh Dickins 45637bab30 mm: rename mem_cgroup_migrate to mem_cgroup_replace_page
After v4.3's commit 0610c25daa ("memcg: fix dirty page migration")
mem_cgroup_migrate() doesn't have much to offer in page migration: convert
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() to set_page_memcg() instead.

Then rename mem_cgroup_migrate() to mem_cgroup_replace_page(), since its
remaining callers are replace_page_cache_page() and shmem_replace_page():
both of whom passed lrucare true, so just eliminate that argument.

Vladimir Davydov df4065516b memcg: simplify and inline __mem_cgroup_from_kmem
Before the previous patch ("memcg: unify slab and other kmem pages
charging"), __mem_cgroup_from_kmem had to handle two types of kmem - slab
pages and pages allocated with alloc_kmem_pages - memcg in the page
struct.  Now we can unify it.  Since after it, this function becomes tiny
we can fold it into mem_cgroup_from_kmem.

Vladimir Davydov f3ccb2c422 memcg: unify slab and other kmem pages charging
We have memcg_kmem_charge and memcg_kmem_uncharge methods for charging and
uncharging kmem pages to memcg, but currently they are not used for
charging slab pages (i.e.  they are only used for charging pages allocated
with alloc_kmem_pages).  The only reason why the slab subsystem uses
special helpers, memcg_charge_slab and memcg_uncharge_slab, is that it
needs to charge to the memcg of kmem cache while memcg_charge_kmem charges
to the memcg that the current task belongs to.

To remove this diversity, this patch adds an extra argument to
__memcg_kmem_charge that can be a pointer to a memcg or NULL.  If it is
not NULL, the function tries to charge to the memcg it points to,
otherwise it charge to the current context.  Next, it makes the slab
subsystem use this function to charge slab pages.

Since memcg_charge_kmem and memcg_uncharge_kmem helpers are now used only
in __memcg_kmem_charge and __memcg_kmem_uncharge, they are inlined.  Since
__memcg_kmem_charge stores a pointer to the memcg in the page struct, we
don't need memcg_uncharge_slab anymore and can use free_kmem_pages.
Besides, one can now detect which memcg a slab page belongs to by reading
/proc/kpagecgroup.

Note, this patch switches slab to charge-after-alloc design.  Since this
design is already used for all other memcg charges, it should not make any
difference.
