It was hard to keep a test running, moving tasks between memcgs with
move_charge_at_immigrate, while swapping: mem_cgroup_id_get_many()'s
refcount is discovered to be 0 (supposedly impossible), so it is then
forced to REFCOUNT_SATURATED, and after thousands of warnings in quick
succession, the test is at last put out of misery by being OOM killed.
This is because of the way moved_swap accounting was saved up until the
task move gets completed in __mem_cgroup_clear_mc(), deferred from when
mem_cgroup_move_swap_account() actually exchanged old and new ids.
Concurrent activity can free up swap quicker than the task is scanned,
bringing id refcount down 0 (which should only be possible when
offlining).
Just skip that optimization: do that part of the accounting immediately.

Prabhakar reported an OOPS inside mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages()
function in a corner case seen on some arm64 boards when kdump kernel
runs with "cgroup_disable=memory" passed to the kdump kernel via
bootargs.
The root-cause behind the same is that currently mem_cgroup_swap_init()
function is implemented as a subsys_initcall() call instead of a
core_initcall(), this means 'cgroup_memory_noswap' still remains set to
the default value (false) even when memcg is disabled via
"cgroup_disable=memory" boot parameter.
This may result in premature OOPS inside mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages()
function in corner cases:

This happens when parent_usage == siblings_protected.
We check that usage is bigger than protected, which should imply
parent_usage being bigger than siblings_protected. However, we don't
read (or even update) these values atomically, and they can be out of

the target protection isn't a big deal, but we need to handle the div0

Check the parent state explicitly to make sure we have a reasonable

Currently, scan pressure between the anon and file LRU lists is balanced
based on a mixture of reclaim efficiency and a somewhat vague notion of
"value" of having certain pages in memory over others. That concept of
value is problematic, because it has caused us to count any event that
remotely makes one LRU list more or less preferrable for reclaim, even
when these events are not directly comparable and impose very different
costs on the system. One example is referenced file pages that we still
deactivate and referenced anonymous pages that we actually rotate back to
the head of the list.
There is also conceptual overlap with the LRU algorithm itself. By
rotating recently used pages instead of reclaiming them, the algorithm
already biases the applied scan pressure based on page value. Thus, when
rebalancing scan pressure due to rotations, we should think of reclaim
cost, and leave assessing the page value to the LRU algorithm.
Lastly, considering both value-increasing as well as value-decreasing
events can sometimes cause the same type of event to be counted twice,
i.e. how rotating a page increases the LRU value, while reclaiming it
succesfully decreases the value. In itself this will balance out fine,
but it quietly skews the impact of events that are only recorded once.
The abstract metric of "value", the murky relationship with the LRU
algorithm, and accounting both negative and positive events make the
current pressure balancing model hard to reason about and modify.
This patch switches to a balancing model of accounting the concrete,
actually observed cost of reclaiming one LRU over another. For now, that
cost includes pages that are scanned but rotated back to the list head.
Subsequent patches will add consideration for IO caused by refaulting of
recently evicted pages.
Replace struct zone_reclaim_stat with two cost counters in the lruvec, and
make everything that affects cost go through a new lru_note_cost()
function.

The previous patches have simplified the access rules around
page->mem_cgroup somewhat:
1. We never change page->mem_cgroup while the page is isolated by
somebody else. This was by far the biggest exception to our rules and
it didn't stop at lock_page() or lock_page_memcg().
2. We charge pages before they get put into page tables now, so the
somewhat fishy rule about "can be in page table as long as it's still
locked" is now gone and boiled down to having an exclusive reference to
the page.
Document the new rules. Any of the following will stabilize the
page->mem_cgroup association:
- the page lock
- LRU isolation
- lock_page_memcg()
- exclusive access to the page

Without swap page tracking, users that are otherwise memory controlled can
easily escape their containment and allocate significant amounts of memory
that they're not being charged for. That's because swap does readahead,
but without the cgroup records of who owned the page at swapout, readahead
pages don't get charged until somebody actually faults them into their
page table and we can identify an owner task. This can be maliciously
exploited with MADV_WILLNEED, which triggers arbitrary readahead
allocations without charging the pages.
Make swap swap page tracking an integral part of memcg and remove the
Kconfig options. In the first place, it was only made configurable to
allow users to save some memory. But the overhead of tracking cgroup
ownership per swap page is minimal - 2 byte per page, or 512k per 1G of
swap, or 0.04%. Saving that at the expense of broken containment
semantics is not something we should present as a coequal option.
The swapaccount=0 boot option will continue to exist, and it will
eliminate the page_counter overhead and hide the swap control files, but
it won't disable swap slot ownership tracking.
This patch makes sure we always have the cgroup records at swapin time;
the next patch will fix the actual bug by charging readahead swap pages at
swapin time rather than at fault time.

unless explicitly opted out of - nosocket, nokmem.
- Remove the really_do_swap_account flag that stores the boot option
and is later used to switch the do_swap_account. It's not clear why
this indirection is/was necessary. Use do_swap_account directly.

Memcg maintains a private MEMCG_RSS counter. This divergence from the

so that page types can be told apart.
Convert the generic accounting sites to mod_lruvec_page_state and friends
to maintain the per-cgroup vmstat counter of NR_ANON_MAPPED. We use
lock_page_memcg() to stabilize page->mem_cgroup during rmap changes, the
same way we do for NR_FILE_MAPPED.
With the previous patch removing MEMCG_CACHE and the private NR_SHMEM
counter, this patch finally eliminates the need to have page->mapping set

The try/commit/cancel protocol that memcg uses dates back to when pages
used to be uncharged upon removal from the page cache, and thus couldn't
be committed before the insertion had succeeded. Nowadays, pages are
uncharged when they are physically freed; it doesn't matter whether the
insertion was successful or not. For the page cache, the transaction
dance has become unnecessary.
Introduce a mem_cgroup_charge() function that simply charges a newly
allocated page to a cgroup and sets up page->mem_cgroup in one single
step. If the insertion fails, the caller doesn't have to do anything but
free/put the page.
Then switch the page cache over to this new API.
Subsequent patches will also convert anon pages, but it needs a bit more
prep work. Right now, memcg depends on page->mapping being already set up
at the time of charging, so that it can maintain its own MEMCG_CACHE and
MEMCG_RSS counters. For anon, page->mapping is set under the same pte
lock under which the page is publishd, so a single charge point that can
block doesn't work there just yet.
The following prep patches will replace the private memcg counters with
the generic vmstat counters, thus removing the page->mapping dependency,
then complete the transition to the new single-point charge API and delete
the old transactional scheme.

The cgroup swaprate throttling is about matching new anon allocations to
the rate of available IO when that is being throttled. It's the io
controller hooking into the VM, rather than a memory controller thing.
Rename mem_cgroup_throttle_swaprate() to cgroup_throttle_swaprate(), and
drop the @memcg argument which is only used to check whether the preceding
page charge has succeeded and the fault is proceeding.
We could decouple the call from mem_cgroup_try_charge() here as well, but
that would cause unnecessary churn: the following patches convert all
callsites to a new charge API and we'll decouple as we go along.

The memcg charging API carries a boolean @compound parameter that tells
whether the page we're dealing with is a hugepage.
mem_cgroup_commit_charge() has another boolean @lrucare that indicates
whether the page needs LRU locking or not while charging. The majority of
callsites know those parameters at compile time, which results in a lot of
naked "false, false" argument lists. This makes for cryptic code and is a
breeding ground for subtle mistakes.
Thankfully, the huge page state can be inferred from the page itself and
doesn't need to be passed along. This is safe because charging completes
before the page is published and somebody may split it.
Simplify the callsites by removing @compound, and let memcg infer the
state by using hpage_nr_pages() unconditionally. That function does
PageTransHuge() to identify huge pages, which also helpfully asserts that
nobody passes in tail pages by accident.
The following patches will introduce a new charging API, best not to carry
over unnecessary weight.

The move_lock is a per-memcg lock, but the VM accounting code that needs
to acquire it comes from the page and follows page->mem_cgroup under RCU
protection. That means that the page becomes unlocked not when we drop
the move_lock, but when we update page->mem_cgroup. And that assignment
doesn't imply any memory ordering. If that pointer write gets reordered
against the reads of the page state - page_mapped, PageDirty etc. the
state may change while we rely on it being stable and we can end up
corrupting the counters.
Place an SMP memory barrier to make sure we're done with all page state by
the time the new page->mem_cgroup becomes visible.
Also replace the open-coded move_lock with a lock_page_memcg() to make it
more obvious what we're serializing against.

Add a memory.swap.high knob, which can be used to protect the system
from SWAP exhaustion. The mechanism used for penalizing is similar to
memory.high penalty (sleep on return to user space).
That is not to say that the knob itself is equivalent to memory.high.
The objective is more to protect the system from potentially buggy tasks
consuming a lot of swap and impacting other tasks, or even bringing the
whole system to stand still with complete SWAP exhaustion. Hopefully
without the need to find per-task hard limits.
Slowing misbehaving tasks down gradually allows user space oom killers
or other protection mechanisms to react. oomd and earlyoom already do
killing based on swap exhaustion, and memory.swap.high protection will
help implement such userspace oom policies more reliably.
We can use one counter for number of pages allocated under pressure to
save struct task space and avoid two separate hierarchy walks on the hot
path. The exact overage is calculated on return to user space, anyway.
Take the new high limit into account when determining if swap is "full".
Borrowing the explanation from Johannes:
The idea behind "swap full" is that as long as the workload has plenty
of swap space available and it's not changing its memory contents, it
makes sense to generously hold on to copies of data in the swap device,
even after the swapin. A later reclaim cycle can drop the page without
any IO. Trading disk space for IO.
But the only two ways to reclaim a swap slot is when they're faulted
in and the references go away, or by scanning the virtual address space
like swapoff does - which is very expensive (one could argue it's too
expensive even for swapoff, it's often more practical to just reboot).
So at some point in the fill level, we have to start freeing up swap
slots on fault/swapin. Otherwise we could eventually run out of swap
slots while they're filled with copies of data that is also in RAM.
We don't want to OOM a workload because its available swap space is
filled with redundant cache.

Patch series "memcg: Slow down swap allocation as the available space
gets depleted", v6.
Tejun describes the problem as follows:
When swap runs out, there's an abrupt change in system behavior - the
anonymous memory suddenly becomes unmanageable which readily breaks any
sort of memory isolation and can bring down the whole system. To avoid
that, oomd [1] monitors free swap space and triggers kills when it drops
below the specific threshold (e.g. 15%).
While this works, it's far from ideal:
- Depending on IO performance and total swap size, a given
headroom might not be enough or too much.
- oomd has to monitor swap depletion in addition to the usual
pressure metrics and it currently doesn't consider memory.swap.max.
Solve this by adapting parts of the approach that memory.high uses -
slow down allocation as the resource gets depleted turning the depletion
behavior from abrupt cliff one to gradual degradation observable through
memory pressure metric.
[1] https://github.com/facebookincubator/oomd
This patch (of 4):
Slice the memory overage calculation logic a little bit so we can reuse
it to apply a similar penalty to the swap. The logic which accesses the
memory-specific fields (use and high values) has to be taken out of
calculate_high_delay().

One way to measure the efficiency of memory reclaim is to look at the
ratio (pgscan+pfrefill)/pgsteal. However at the moment these stats are
not updated consistently at the system level and the ratio of these are
not very meaningful. The pgsteal and pgscan are updated for only global
reclaim while pgrefill gets updated for global as well as cgroup
reclaim.
Please note that this difference is only for system level vmstats. The
cgroup stats returned by memory.stat are actually consistent. The
cgroup's pgsteal contains number of reclaimed pages for global as well
as cgroup reclaim. So, one way to get the system level stats is to get
these stats from root's memory.stat, so, expose memory.stat for the root
cgroup.
From Johannes Weiner:
There are subtle differences between /proc/vmstat and
memory.stat, and cgroup-aware code that wants to watch the full
hierarchy currently has to know about these intricacies and
translate semantics back and forth.
Generally having the fully recursive memory.stat at the root
level could help a broader range of usecases.
Why not fix the stats by including both the global and cgroup reclaim
activity instead of exposing root cgroup's memory.stat? The reason is
the benefit of having metrics exposing the activity that happens purely
due to machine capacity rather than localized activity that happens due
to the limits throughout the cgroup tree. Additionally there are
userspace tools like sysstat(sar) which reads these stats to inform
about the system level reclaim activity. So, we should not break such
use-cases.

There's a new workingset counter introduced in commit 1899ad18c6 ("mm:

the help of this counter we can know the workingset is transitioning or
thrashing. To leverage the benifit of this counter to memcg, we should
introduce it into memory.stat. Then we could know the workingset of the
workload inside a memcg better.
Bellow is the verification of this new counter in memory.stat. Read a
file into the memory and then read it again to make these pages be
active. The size of this file is 1G. (memory.max is greater than file
size) The counters in memory.stat will be
inactive_file 0
active_file 1073639424
workingset_refault 0
workingset_activate 0
workingset_restore 0
workingset_nodereclaim 0
Trigger the memcg reclaim by setting a lower value to memory.high, and
then some pages will be demoted into inactive list, and then some pages
in the inactive list will be evicted into the storage.
inactive_file 498094080
active_file 310063104
workingset_refault 0
workingset_activate 0
workingset_restore 0
workingset_nodereclaim 0
Then recover the memory.high and read the file into memory again. As a
result of it, the transitioning will occur. Bellow is the result of
this transitioning,
inactive_file 498094080
active_file 575397888
workingset_refault 64746

After an NFS page has been written it is considered "unstable" until a
COMMIT request succeeds. If the COMMIT fails, the page will be
re-written.
These "unstable" pages are currently accounted as "reclaimable", either
in WB_RECLAIMABLE, or in NR_UNSTABLE_NFS which is included in a
'reclaimable' count. This might have made sense when sending the COMMIT
required a separate action by the VFS/MM (e.g. releasepage() used to
send a COMMIT). However now that all writes generated by ->writepages()
will automatically be followed by a COMMIT (since commit 919e3bd9a8
("NFS: Ensure we commit after writeback is complete")) it makes more
sense to treat them as writeback pages.
So this patch removes NR_UNSTABLE_NFS and accounts unstable pages in
NR_WRITEBACK and WB_WRITEBACK.
A particular effect of this change is that when
wb_check_background_flush() calls wb_over_bg_threshold(), the latter
will report 'true' a lot less often as the 'unstable' pages are no
longer considered 'dirty' (as there is nothing that writeback can do
about them anyway).
Currently wb_check_background_flush() will trigger writeback to NFS even
when there are relatively few dirty pages (if there are lots of unstable
pages), this can result in small writes going to the server (10s of
Kilobytes rather than a Megabyte) which hurts throughput. With this
patch, there are fewer writes which are each larger on average.
Where the NR_UNSTABLE_NFS count was included in statistics
virtual-files, the entry is retained, but the value is hard-coded as
zero. static trace points and warning printks which mentioned this
counter no longer report it.

If a cgroup violates its memory.high constraints, we may end up unduly
penalising it. For example, for the following hierarchy:
A: max high, 20 usage
A/B: 9 high, 10 usage
A/C: max high, 10 usage
We would end up doing the following calculation below when calculating
high delay for A/B:
A/B: 10 - 9 = 1...
A: 20 - PAGE_COUNTER_MAX = 21, so set max_overage to 21.
This gets worse with higher disparities in usage in the parent.
I have no idea how this disappeared from the final version of the patch,
but it is certainly Not Good(tm). This wasn't obvious in testing because,
for a simple cgroup hierarchy with only one child, the result is usually
roughly the same. It's only in more complex hierarchies that things go
really awry (although still, the effects are limited to a maximum of 2
seconds in schedule_timeout_killable at a maximum).

unexpected OOM killings if memory.oom.group is used anywhere in the cgroup
tree.
Imagine the following example:
A (oom.group = 1)
/ \
(OOM) B C
Let's say B's memory.max is exceeded and it's OOMing. The OOM killer
selects a task in B as a victim, but someone asynchronously moves the task
into C. mem_cgroup_get_oom_group() will iterate over all ancestors of C
up to the root cgroup. In theory it had to stop at the oom_domain level -
the memory cgroup which is OOMing. But because B is not an ancestor of C,
it's not happening. Instead it chooses A (because it's oom.group is set),
and kills all tasks in A. This behavior is wrong because the OOM happened
in B, so there is no reason to kill anything outside.
Fix this by checking it the memory cgroup to which the task belongs is a
descendant of the oom_domain. If not, memory.oom.group should be ignored,
and the OOM killer should kill only the victim task.

The read side of this is all protected, but we can still tear if multiple
iterations of mem_cgroup_protected are going at the same time.
There's some intentional racing in mem_cgroup_protected which is ok, but
load/store tearing should be avoided.

This one is a bit more nuanced because we have memcg_max_mutex, which is
mostly just used for enforcing invariants, but we still need to READ_ONCE
since (despite its name) it doesn't really protect memory.max access.
On write (page_counter_set_max() and memory_max_write()) we use xchg(),
which uses smp_mb(), so that's already fine.

Currently multiple locations in memcg code, css_tryget_online() is being
used. However it doesn't matter whether the cgroup is online for the
callers. Online used to matter when we had reparenting on offlining and
we needed a way to prevent new ones from showing up.
The failure case for couple of these css_tryget_online usage is to
fallback to root_mem_cgroup which kind of make bypassing the memcg
limits possible for some workloads. For example creating an inotify
group in a subcontainer and then deleting that container after moving the
process to a different container will make all the event objects
allocated for that group to the root_mem_cgroup. So, using
css_tryget_online() is dangerous for such cases.
Two locations still use the online version. The swapin of offlined
memcg's pages and the memcg kmem cache creation. The kmem cache indeed
needs the online version as the kernel does the reparenting of memcg
kmem caches. For the swapin case, it has been left for later as the
fallback is not really that concerning.
With swap accounting enabled, if the memcg of the swapped out page is
not online then the memcg extracted from the given 'mm' will be charged
and if 'mm' is NULL then root memcg will be charged. However I could
not find a code path where the given 'mm' will be NULL for swap-in
case.

Right now, the effective protection of any given cgroup is capped by its
own explicit memory.low setting, regardless of what the parent says. The
reasons for this are mostly historical and ease of implementation: to make
delegation of memory.low safe, effective protection is the min() of all
memory.low up the tree.
Unfortunately, this limitation makes it impossible to protect an entire
subtree from another without forcing the user to make explicit protection
allocations all the way to the leaf cgroups - something that is highly
undesirable in real life scenarios.
Consider memory in a data center host. At the cgroup top level, we have a
distinction between system management software and the actual workload the
system is executing. Both branches are further subdivided into individual
services, job components etc.
We want to protect the workload as a whole from the system management
software, but that doesn't mean we want to protect and prioritize
individual workload wrt each other. Their memory demand can vary over
time, and we'd want the VM to simply cache the hottest data within the
workload subtree. Yet, the current memory.low limitations force us to
allocate a fixed amount of protection to each workload component in order
to get protection from system management software in general. This
results in very inefficient resource distribution.
Another concern with mandating downward allocation is that, as the
complexity of the cgroup tree grows, it gets harder for the lower levels
to be informed about decisions made at the host-level. Consider a
container inside a namespace that in turn creates its own nested tree of
cgroups to run multiple workloads. It'd be extremely difficult to
configure memory.low parameters in those leaf cgroups that on one hand
balance pressure among siblings as the container desires, while also
reflecting the host-level protection from e.g. rpm upgrades, that lie
beyond one or more delegation and namespacing points in the tree.
It's highly unusual from a cgroup interface POV that nested levels have to
be aware of and reflect decisions made at higher levels for them to be
effective.
To enable such use cases and scale configurability for complex trees, this
patch implements a resource inheritance model for memory that is similar
to how the CPU and the IO controller implement work-conserving resource
allocations: a share of a resource allocated to a subree always applies to
the entire subtree recursively, while allowing, but not mandating,
children to further specify distribution rules.
That means that if protection is explicitly allocated among siblings,
those configured shares are being followed during page reclaim just like
they are now. However, if the memory.low set at a higher level is not
fully claimed by the children in that subtree, the "floating" remainder is
applied to each cgroup in the tree in proportion to its size. Since
reclaim pressure is applied in proportion to size as well, each child in
that tree gets the same boost, and the effect is neutral among siblings -
with respect to each other, they behave as if no memory control was
enabled at all, and the VM simply balances the memory demands optimally
within the subtree. But collectively those cgroups enjoy a boost over the
cgroups in neighboring trees.
E.g. a leaf cgroup with a memory.low setting of 0 no longer means that
it's not getting a share of the hierarchically assigned resource, just
that it doesn't claim a fixed amount of it to protect from its siblings.
This allows us to recursively protect one subtree (workload) from another
(system management), while letting subgroups compete freely among each
other - without having to assign fixed shares to each leaf, and without
nested groups having to echo higher-level settings.
The floating protection composes naturally with fixed protection.
Consider the following example tree:
A A: low = 2G
/ \ A1: low = 1G
A1 A2 A2: low = 0G
As outside pressure is applied to this tree, A1 will enjoy a fixed
protection from A2 of 1G, but the remaining, unclaimed 1G from A is split
evenly among A1 and A2, coming out to 1.5G and 0.5G.
There is a slight risk of regressing theoretical setups where the
top-level cgroups don't know about the true budgeting and set bogusly high
"bypass" values that are meaningfully allocated down the tree. Such
setups would rely on unclaimed protection to be discarded, and
distributing it would change the intended behavior. Be safe and hide the
new behavior behind a mount option, 'memory_recursiveprot'.

The effective protection of any given cgroup is a somewhat complicated
construct that depends on the ancestor's configuration, siblings'
configurations, as well as current memory utilization in all these groups.
It's done this way to satisfy hierarchical delegation requirements while
also making the configuration semantics flexible and expressive in complex
real life scenarios.
Unfortunately, all the rules and requirements are sparsely documented, and
the code is a little too clever in merging different scenarios into a
single min() expression. This makes it hard to reason about the
implementation and avoid breaking semantics when making changes to it.
This patch documents each semantic rule individually and splits out the
handling of the overcommit case from the regular case.
Michal Koutný also points out that the points of equilibrium as described
in the existing example scenarios aren't actually accurate. Delete these
examples for now to avoid confusion.

Patch series "mm: memcontrol: recursive memory.low protection", v3.
The current memory.low (and memory.min) semantics require protection to be
assigned to a cgroup in an untinterrupted chain from the top-level cgroup
all the way to the leaf.
In practice, we want to protect entire cgroup subtrees from each other
(system management software vs. workload), but we would like the VM to
balance memory optimally *within* each subtree, without having to make
explicit weight allocations among individual components. The current
semantics make that impossible.
They also introduce unmanageable complexity into more advanced resource
trees. For example:
host root
`- system.slice
`- rpm upgrades
`- logging
`- workload.slice
`- a container
`- system.slice
`- workload.slice
`- job A
`- component 1
`- component 2
`- job B
At a host-level perspective, we would like to protect the outer
workload.slice subtree as a whole from rpm upgrades, logging etc. But for
that to be effective, right now we'd have to propagate it down through the
container, the inner workload.slice, into the job cgroup and ultimately
the component cgroups where memory is actually, physically allocated.
This may cross several tree delegation points and namespace boundaries,
which make such a setup near impossible.
CPU and IO on the other hand are already distributed recursively. The
user would simply configure allowances at the host level, and they would
apply to the entire subtree without any downward propagation.
To enable the above-mentioned usecases and bring memory in line with other
resource controllers, this patch series extends memory.low/min such that
settings apply recursively to the entire subtree. Users can still assign
explicit shares in subgroups, but if they don't, any ancestral protection
will be distributed such that children compete freely amongst each other -
as if no memory control were enabled inside the subtree - but enjoy
protection from neighboring trees.
In the above example, the user would then be able to configure shares of
CPU, IO and memory at the host level to comprehensively protect and
isolate the workload.slice as a whole from system.slice activity.
Patch #1 fixes an existing bug that can give a cgroup tree more protection
than it should receive as per ancestor configuration.
Patch #2 simplifies and documents the existing code to make it easier to
reason about the changes in the next patch.
Patch #3 finally implements recursive memory protection semantics.
Because of a risk of regressing legacy setups, the new semantics are
hidden behind a cgroup2 mount option, 'memory_recursiveprot'.
More details in patch #3.
This patch (of 3):
When memory.low is overcommitted - i.e. the children claim more
protection than their shared ancestor grants them - the allowance is
distributed in proportion to how much each sibling uses their own declared
protection:
low_usage = min(memory.low, memory.current)
elow = parent_elow * (low_usage / siblings_low_usage)
However, siblings_low_usage is not the sum of all low_usages. It sums
up the usages of *only those cgroups that are within their memory.low*
That means that low_usage can be *bigger* than siblings_low_usage, and
consequently the total protection afforded to the children can be
bigger than what the ancestor grants the subtree.
Consider three groups where two are in excess of their protection:
A/memory.low = 10G
A/A1/memory.low = 10G, memory.current = 20G
A/A2/memory.low = 10G, memory.current = 20G
A/A3/memory.low = 10G, memory.current = 8G
siblings_low_usage = 8G (only A3 contributes)
A1/elow = parent_elow(10G) * low_usage(10G) / siblings_low_usage(8G) = 12.5G -> 10G
A2/elow = parent_elow(10G) * low_usage(10G) / siblings_low_usage(8G) = 12.5G -> 10G
A3/elow = parent_elow(10G) * low_usage(8G) / siblings_low_usage(8G) = 10.0G
(the 12.5G are capped to the explicit memory.low setting of 10G)
With that, the sum of all awarded protection below A is 30G, when A
only grants 10G for the entire subtree.
What does this mean in practice? A1 and A2 would still be in excess of
their 10G allowance and would be reclaimed, whereas A3 would not. As
they eventually drop below their protection setting, they would be
counted in siblings_low_usage again and the error would right itself.
When reclaim was applied in a binary fashion (cgroup is reclaimed when
it's above its protection, otherwise it's skipped) this would actually
work out just fine. However, since 1bc63fb127 ("mm, memcg: make scan
aggression always exclude protection"), reclaim pressure is scaled to
how much a cgroup is above its protection. As a result this
calculation error unduly skews pressure away from A1 and A2 toward the
rest of the system.
But why did we do it like this in the first place?
The reasoning behind exempting groups in excess from
siblings_low_usage was to go after them first during reclaim in an
overcommitted subtree:
A/memory.low = 2G, memory.current = 4G
A/A1/memory.low = 3G, memory.current = 2G
A/A2/memory.low = 1G, memory.current = 2G
siblings_low_usage = 2G (only A1 contributes)
A1/elow = parent_elow(2G) * low_usage(2G) / siblings_low_usage(2G) = 2G
A2/elow = parent_elow(2G) * low_usage(1G) / siblings_low_usage(2G) = 1G
While the children combined are overcomitting A and are technically
both at fault, A2 is actively declaring unprotected memory and we
would like to reclaim that first.
However, while this sounds like a noble goal on the face of it, it
doesn't make much difference in actual memory distribution: Because A
is overcommitted, reclaim will not stop once A2 gets pushed back to
within its allowance; we'll have to reclaim A1 either way. The end
result is still that protection is distributed proportionally, with A1
getting 3/4 (1.5G) and A2 getting 1/4 (0.5G) of A's allowance.
[ If A weren't overcommitted, it wouldn't make a difference since each
cgroup would just get the protection it declares:
A/memory.low = 2G, memory.current = 3G
A/A1/memory.low = 1G, memory.current = 1G
A/A2/memory.low = 1G, memory.current = 2G
With the current calculation:
siblings_low_usage = 1G (only A1 contributes)
A1/elow = parent_elow(2G) * low_usage(1G) / siblings_low_usage(1G) = 2G -> 1G
A2/elow = parent_elow(2G) * low_usage(1G) / siblings_low_usage(1G) = 2G -> 1G
Including excess groups in siblings_low_usage:
siblings_low_usage = 2G
A1/elow = parent_elow(2G) * low_usage(1G) / siblings_low_usage(2G) = 1G -> 1G
A2/elow = parent_elow(2G) * low_usage(1G) / siblings_low_usage(2G) = 1G -> 1G ]
Simplify the calculation and fix the proportional reclaim bug by
including excess cgroups in siblings_low_usage.
After this patch, the effective memory.low distribution from the
example above would be as follows:
A/memory.low = 10G
A/A1/memory.low = 10G, memory.current = 20G
A/A2/memory.low = 10G, memory.current = 20G
A/A3/memory.low = 10G, memory.current = 8G
siblings_low_usage = 28G
A1/elow = parent_elow(10G) * low_usage(10G) / siblings_low_usage(28G) = 3.5G
A2/elow = parent_elow(10G) * low_usage(10G) / siblings_low_usage(28G) = 3.5G
A3/elow = parent_elow(10G) * low_usage(8G) / siblings_low_usage(28G) = 2.8G
