2008-10-20memcg: allocate all page_cgroup at bootKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Allocate all page_cgroup at boot and remove page_cgroup poitner from struct page. This patch adds an interface as struct page_cgroup *lookup_page_cgroup(struct page*) All FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM/SPARSEMEM and MEMORY_HOTPLUG is supported. Remove page_cgroup pointer reduces the amount of memory by - 4 bytes per PAGE_SIZE. - 8 bytes per PAGE_SIZE if memory controller is disabled. (even if configured.) On usual 8GB x86-32 server, this saves 8MB of NORMAL_ZONE memory. On my x86-64 server with 48GB of memory, this saves 96MB of memory. I think this reduction makes sense. By pre-allocation, kmalloc/kfree in charge/uncharge are removed. This means - we're not necessary to be afraid of kmalloc faiulre. (this can happen because of gfp_mask type.) - we can avoid calling kmalloc/kfree. - we can avoid allocating tons of small objects which can be fragmented. - we can know what amount of memory will be used for this extra-lru handling. I added printk message as "allocated %ld bytes of page_cgroup" "please try cgroup_disable=memory option if you don't want" maybe enough informative for users.

2008-10-20memcg: atomic ops for page_cgroup->flagsKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This patch makes page_cgroup->flags to be atomic_ops and define functions (and macros) to access it. Before trying to modify memory resource controller, this atomic operation on flags is necessary. Most of flags in this patch is for LRU and modfied under mz->lru_lock but we'll add another flags which is not for LRU soon. For example, we'll place LOCK bit on flags field. We need atomic operation to modify LRU bit without LOCK.

2008-10-20memcg: optimize per-cpu statisticsKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Some obvious optimization to memcg. I found mem_cgroup_charge_statistics() is a little big (in object) and does unnecessary address calclation. This patch is for optimization to reduce the size of this function. And res_counter_charge() is 'likely' to succeed.

2008-10-20memcg: make page->mapping NULL before unchargeKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This patch tries to make page->mapping to be NULL before mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() is called. "page->mapping == NULL" is a good check for "whether the page is still radix-tree or not". This patch also adds BUG_ON() to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page(); Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Daisuke Nishimura <nishimura@mxp.nes.nec.co.jp> Cc: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-10-20Unevictable LRU InfrastructureLee Schermerhorn
When the system contains lots of mlocked or otherwise unevictable pages, the pageout code (kswapd) can spend lots of time scanning over these pages. Worse still, the presence of lots of unevictable pages can confuse kswapd into thinking that more aggressive pageout modes are required, resulting in all kinds of bad behaviour. Infrastructure to manage pages excluded from reclaim--i.e., hidden from vmscan. Based on a patch by Larry Woodman of Red Hat. Reworked to maintain "unevictable" pages on a separate per-zone LRU list, to "hide" them from vmscan. Kosaki Motohiro added the support for the memory controller unevictable lru list. Pages on the unevictable list have both PG_unevictable and PG_lru set. Thus, PG_unevictable is analogous to and mutually exclusive with PG_active--it specifies which LRU list the page is on. The unevictable infrastructure is enabled by a new mm Kconfig option [CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU. A new function 'page_evictable(page, vma)' in vmscan.c tests whether or not a page may be evictable. Subsequent patches will add the various !evictable tests. We'll want to keep these tests light-weight for use in shrink_active_list() and, possibly, the fault path. To avoid races between tasks putting pages [back] onto an LRU list and tasks that might be moving the page from non-evictable to evictable state, the new function 'putback_lru_page()' -- inverse to 'isolate_lru_page()' -- tests the "evictability" of a page after placing it on the LRU, before dropping the reference. If the page has become unevictable, putback_lru_page() will redo the 'putback', thus moving the page to the unevictable list. This way, we avoid "stranding" evictable pages on the unevictable list.

2008-10-20vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file setsRik van Riel
Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap ("anon"). The latter includes tmpfs. The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to find the page cache pages that it should evict. This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists. The big policy changes are in separate patches.

2008-09-29mm owner: fix race between swapoff and exitBalbir Singh
There's a race between mm->owner assignment and swapoff, more easily seen when task slab poisoning is turned on. The condition occurs when try_to_unuse() runs in parallel with an exiting task. A similar race can occur with callers of get_task_mm(), such as /proc/<pid>/<mmstats> or ptrace or page migration. CPU0 CPU1 try_to_unuse looks at mm = task0->mm increments mm->mm_users task 0 exits mm->owner needs to be updated, but no new owner is found (mm_users > 1, but no other task has task->mm = task0->mm) mm_update_next_owner() leaves mmput(mm) decrements mm->mm_users task0 freed dereferencing mm->owner fails The fix is to notify the subsystem via mm_owner_changed callback(), if no new owner is found, by specifying the new task as NULL. Jiri Slaby: mm->owner was set to NULL prior to calling cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks(), but must be set after that, so as not to pass NULL as old owner causing oops. Daisuke Nishimura: mm_update_next_owner() may set mm->owner to NULL, but mem_cgroup_from_task() and its callers need to take account of this situation to avoid oops. Hugh Dickins: Lockdep warning and hang below exec_mmap() when testing these patches. exit_mm() up_reads mmap_sem before calling mm_update_next_owner(), so exec_mmap() now needs to do the same. And with that repositioning, there's now no point in mm_need_new_owner() allowing for NULL mm.

2008-09-23memcg: check under limit at shrink_usageDaisuke Nishimura
Current memory cgroup(both in mainline and -mm) doesn't account swap caches as memory(swap cache support is dropped temporarily now). So try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages doesn't reflect the count of pages that have been moved to swap cache. But this makes mem_cgroup_shrink_usage fail easily if most of the pages are anon/shmem, and then shmem_getpage returns -ENOMEM and the process will be killed. This patch adds res_counter_check_under_limit to avoid these cases. BTW, even if swap cache support is enabled again, if a process is moved to another cgroup, which has been just made, between precharge and shrink_usage in shmem_getpage, shrink_usage may fail just because there is no pages to reclaim. So this change would make sense anyway.

2008-07-25memcg: remove a redundant checkKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Because of remove refcnt patch, it's very rare case to that mem_cgroup_charge_common() is called against a page which is accounted. mem_cgroup_charge_common() is called when. 1. a page is added into file cache. 2. an anon page is _newly_ mapped. A racy case is that a newly-swapped-in anonymous page is referred from prural threads in do_swap_page() at the same time. (a page is not Locked when mem_cgroup_charge() is called from do_swap_page.) Another case is shmem. It charges its page before calling add_to_page_cache(). Then, mem_cgroup_charge_cache() is called twice. This case is handled in mem_cgroup_cache_charge().

A new call, mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() is added for shmem handling and relacing non-standard usage of mem_cgroup_charge/uncharge. Now, shmem calls mem_cgroup_charge() just for reclaim some pages from mem_cgroup. In general, shmem is used by some process group and not for global resource (like file caches). So, it's reasonable to reclaim pages from mem_cgroup where shmem is mainly used.

2008-07-25memcg: better migration handlingKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This patch changes page migration under memory controller to use a different algorithm. (thanks to Christoph for new idea.) Before: - page_cgroup is migrated from an old page to a new page. After: - a new page is accounted , no reuse of page_cgroup. Pros: - We can avoid compliated lock depndencies and races in migration. Cons: - new param to mem_cgroup_charge_common(). - mem_cgroup_getref() is added for handling ref_cnt ping-pong. This version simplifies complicated lock dependency in page migraiton under memory resource controller. new refcnt sequence is following. a mapped page: prepage_migration() ..... +1 to NEW page try_to_unmap() ..... all refs to OLD page is gone. move_pages() ..... +1 to NEW page if page cache. remap... ..... all refs from *map* is added to NEW one. end_migration() ..... -1 to New page. page's mapcount + (page_is_cache) refs are added to NEW one.

2008-07-25cgroup files: convert res_counter_write() to be a cgroups write_string() handlerPaul Menage
Currently res_counter_write() is a raw file handler even though it's ultimately taking a number, since in some cases it wants to pre-process the string when converting it to a number. This patch converts res_counter_write() from a raw file handler to a write_string() handler; this allows some of the boilerplate copying/locking/checking to be removed, and simplies the cleanup path, since these functions are now performed by the cgroups framework.

2008-04-29memcgroup: implement failcounter resetPavel Emelyanov
This is a very common requirement from people using the resource accounting facilities (not only memcgroup but also OpenVZ beancounters). They want to put the cgroup in an initial state without re-creating it. For example after re-configuring a group people want to observe how this new configuration fits the group needs without saving the previous failcnt value. Merge two resets into one mem_cgroup_reset() function to demonstrate how multiplexing work. Besides, I have plans to move the files, that correspond to res_counter to the res_counter.c file and somehow "import" them into controller. I don't know how to make it gracefully yet, but merging resets of max_usage and failcnt in one function will be there for sure.

2008-04-29memcgroup: move memory controller allocations to their own slabsBalbir Singh
Move the memory controller data structure page_cgroup to its own slab cache. It saves space on the system, allocations are not necessarily pushed to order of 2 and should provide performance benefits. Users who disable the memory controller can also double check that the memory controller is not allocating page_cgroup's. NOTE: Hugh Dickins brought up the issue of whether we want to mark page_cgroup as __GFP_MOVABLE or __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. I don't think there is an easy answer at the moment. page_cgroup's are associated with user pages, they can be reclaimed once the user page has been reclaimed, so it might make sense to mark them as __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. For now, I am leaving the marking to default values that the slab allocator uses.

2008-04-29cgroups: add an owner to the mm_structBalbir Singh
Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner. This approach was suggested by Paul Menage. The advantage of this approach is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup can be determined. It also allows several control groups that are virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to mm_struct. A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource controller selects this config option. This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner changes. The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner. I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and helping me make it lighter and simpler. This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the MM_OWNER config turned on and off. After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.

This should be N_NORMAL_MEMORY. N_NORMAL_MEMORY is "true" if a node has memory for the kernel. N_HIGH_MEMORY is "true" if a node has memory for HIGHMEM. (If CONFIG_HIGHMEM=n, always "true") This check is used for testing whether we can use kmalloc_node() on a node. Then, if there is a node which only contains HIGHMEM, the system will call kmalloc_node() which doesn't contain memory for the kernel. If it happens under SLUB, the kernel will panic.

2008-04-04memory controller: make memory resource control aware of boot optionsBalbir Singh
A boot option for the memory controller was discussed on lkml. It is a good idea to add it, since it saves memory for people who want to turn off the memory controller. By default the option is on for the following two reasons: 1. It provides compatibility with the current scheme where the memory controller turns on if the config option is enabled 2. It allows for wider testing of the memory controller, once the config option is enabled We still allow the create, destroy callbacks to succeed, since they are not aware of boot options.

2008-03-04memcg: fix oops on NULL lru listHugh Dickins
While testing force_empty, during an exit_mmap, __mem_cgroup_remove_list called from mem_cgroup_uncharge_page oopsed on a NULL pointer in the lru list. I couldn't see what racing tasks on other cpus were doing, but surmise that another must have been in mem_cgroup_charge_common on the same page, between its unlock_page_cgroup and spin_lock_irqsave near done (thanks to that kzalloc which I'd almost changed to a kmalloc). Normally such a race cannot happen, the ref_cnt prevents it, the final uncharge cannot race with the initial charge. But force_empty buggers the ref_cnt, that's what it's all about; and thereafter forced pages are vulnerable to races such as this (just think of a shared page also mapped into an mm of another mem_cgroup than that just emptied). And remain vulnerable until they're freed indefinitely later. This patch just fixes the oops by moving the unlock_page_cgroups down below adding to and removing from the list (only possible given the previous patch); and while we're at it, we might as well make it an invariant that page->page_cgroup is always set while pc is on lru. But this behaviour of force_empty seems highly unsatisfactory to me: why have a ref_cnt if we always have to cope with it being violated (as in the earlier page migration patch). We may prefer force_empty to move pages to an orphan mem_cgroup (could be the root, but better not), from which other cgroups could recover them; we might need to reverse the locking again; but no time now for such concerns.

2008-03-04memcg: simplify force_empty and move_listsHirokazu Takahashi
As for force_empty, though this may not be the main topic here, mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() can be implemented simpler. It is possible to make the function just call mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() instead of releasing page_cgroups by itself. The tip is to call get_page() before invoking mem_cgroup_uncharge_page(), so the page won't be released during this function. Kamezawa-san points out that by the time mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() uncharges, the page might have been reassigned to an lru of a different mem_cgroup, and now be emptied from that; but Hugh claims that's okay, the end state is the same as when it hasn't gone to another list. And once force_empty stops taking lock_page_cgroup within mz->lru_lock, mem_cgroup_move_lists() can be simplified to take mz->lru_lock directly while holding page_cgroup lock (but still has to use try_lock_page_cgroup).

2008-03-04memcg: fix mem_cgroup_move_lists lockingHugh Dickins
Ever since the VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) (now Bad page state) went into page freeing, I've hit it from time to time in testing on some machines, sometimes only after many days. Recently found a machine which could usually produce it within a few hours, which got me there at last. The culprit is mem_cgroup_move_lists, whose locking is inadequate; and the arrangement of structures was such that you got page_cgroups from the lru list neatly put on to SLUB's freelist. Kamezawa-san identified the same hole independently. The main problem was that it was missing the lock_page_cgroup it needs to safely page_get_page_cgroup; but it's tricky to go beyond that too, and I couldn't do it with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU as I'd expected. See the code for comments on the constraints. This patch immediately gets replaced by a simpler one from Hirokazu-san; but is it just foolish pride that tells me to put this one on record, in case we need to come back to it later?

Never seen it, and for all I know there may be other constraints which make it impossible; but let's be defensive and reverse the ordering there. mem_cgroup_force_empty_list is safe because there's an extra css_get around all its works; but even so, change its ordering the same way round, to help get in the habit of doing it like this.

Once that's gone, you can see it's pointless for page_cgroup's ref_cnt to be atomic: it's always manipulated under lock_page_cgroup, except where force_empty unilaterally reset it to 0 (and how does uncharge's atomic_dec_and_test protect against that?). Simplify this page_cgroup locking: if you've got the lock and the pc is attached, then the ref_cnt must be positive: VM_BUG_ONs to check that, and to check that pc->page matches page (we're on the way to finding why sometimes it doesn't, but this patch doesn't fix that).

Don't use page_assign_page_cgroup to clear it: that should be private to memcontrol.c, and always called with the lock taken; and memmap_init_zone doesn't need it either - like page->mapping and other pointers throughout the kernel, Linux assumes pointers in zeroed structures are NULL pointers. Instead use page_reset_bad_cgroup, added to memcontrol.h for this only.

2008-03-04memcg: move_lists on page not page_cgroupHugh Dickins
Each caller of mem_cgroup_move_lists is having to use page_get_page_cgroup: it's more convenient if it acts upon the page itself not the page_cgroup; and in a later patch this becomes important to handle within memcontrol.c.

2008-03-04memcg: mm_match_cgroup not vm_match_cgroupHugh Dickins
vm_match_cgroup is a perverse name for a macro to match mm with cgroup: rename it mm_match_cgroup, matching mm_init_cgroup and mm_free_cgroup.
