Tejun Heo b23afb93d3 memcg: punt high overage reclaim to return-to-userland path
Currently, try_charge() tries to reclaim memory synchronously when the
high limit is breached; however, if the allocation doesn't have
__GFP_WAIT, synchronous reclaim is skipped.  If a process performs only
speculative allocations, it can blow way past the high limit.  This is
actually easily reproducible by simply doing "find /".  slab/slub
allocator tries speculative allocations first, so as long as there's
memory which can be consumed without blocking, it can keep allocating
memory regardless of the high limit.

This patch makes try_charge() always punt the over-high reclaim to the
return-to-userland path.  If try_charge() detects that high limit is
breached, it adds the overage to current->memcg_nr_pages_over_high and
schedules execution of mem_cgroup_handle_over_high() which performs
synchronous reclaim from the return-to-userland path.

As long as kernel doesn't have a run-away allocation spree, this should
provide enough protection while making kmemcg behave more consistently.
It also has the following benefits.

- All over-high reclaims can use GFP_KERNEL regardless of the specific
  gfp mask in use, e.g. GFP_NOFS, when the limit was breached.

- It copes with prio inversion.  Previously, a low-prio task with
  small memory.high might perform over-high reclaim with a bunch of
  locks held.  If a higher prio task needed any of these locks, it
  would have to wait until the low prio task finished reclaim and
  released the locks.  By handing over-high reclaim to the task exit
  path this issue can be avoided.

* This file defines hook entry points called by core code where
* user tracing/debugging support might need to do something. These
* entry points are called tracehook_*(). Each hook declared below
* has a detailed kerneldoc comment giving the context (locking et
* al) from which it is called, and the meaning of its return value.
*
* Each function here typically has only one call site, so it is ok
* to have some nontrivial tracehook_*() inlines. In all cases, the
* fast path when no tracing is enabled should be very short.
*
* The purpose of this file and the tracehook_* layer is to consolidate
* the interface that the kernel core and arch code uses to enable any
* user debugging or tracing facility (such as ptrace). The interfaces
* here are carefully documented so that maintainers of core and arch
* code do not need to think about the implementation details of the
* tracing facilities. Likewise, maintainers of the tracing code do not
* need to understand all the calling core or arch code in detail, just
* documented circumstances of each call, such as locking conditions.
*
* If the calling core code changes so that locking is different, then
* it is ok to change the interface documented here. The maintainer of
* core code changing should notify the maintainers of the tracing code
* that they need to work out the change.
*
* Some tracehook_*() inlines take arguments that the current tracing
* implementations might not necessarily use. These function signatures
* are chosen to pass in all the information that is on hand in the
* caller and might conceivably be relevant to a tracer, so that the
* core code won't have to be updated when tracing adds more features.
* If a call site changes so that some of those parameters are no longer
* already on hand without extra work, then the tracehook_* interface
* can change so there is no make-work burden on the core code. The
* maintainer of core code changing should notify the maintainers of the
* tracing code that they need to work out the change.
