2012-03-21memcg: fix performance of mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() should be very fast because it's called very frequently. Now, it needs to look up page_cgroup and its memcg....this is slow. This patch adds a global variable to check "any memcg is moving or not". With this, the caller doesn't need to visit page_cgroup and memcg. Here is a test result. A test program makes page faults onto a file, MAP_SHARED and makes each page's page_mapcount(page) > 1, and free the range by madvise() and page fault again. This program causes 26214400 times of page fault onto a file(size was 1G.) and shows shows the cost of mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat(). Before this patch for mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() [kamezawa@bluextal test]$ time ./mmap 1G real 0m21.765s user 0m5.999s sys 0m15.434s 27.46% mmap mmap [.] reader 21.15% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault 9.17% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] filemap_fault 2.96% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __do_fault 2.83% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat After this patch [root@bluextal test]# time ./mmap 1G real 0m21.373s user 0m6.113s sys 0m15.016s In usual path, calls to __mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() goes away. Note: we may be able to remove this optimization in future if we can get pointer to memcg directly from struct page.

2012-03-21memcg: use new logic for page stat accountingKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Now, page-stat-per-memcg is recorded into per page_cgroup flag by duplicating page's status into the flag. The reason is that memcg has a feature to move a page from a group to another group and we have race between "move" and "page stat accounting", Under current logic, assume CPU-A and CPU-B. CPU-A does "move" and CPU-B does "page stat accounting". When CPU-A goes 1st, CPU-A CPU-B update "struct page" info. move_lock_mem_cgroup(memcg) see pc->flags copy page stat to new group overwrite pc->mem_cgroup. move_unlock_mem_cgroup(memcg) move_lock_mem_cgroup(mem) set pc->flags update page stat accounting move_unlock_mem_cgroup(mem) stat accounting is guarded by move_lock_mem_cgroup() and "move" logic (CPU-A) doesn't see changes in "struct page" information. But it's costly to have the same information both in 'struct page' and 'struct page_cgroup'. And, there is a potential problem. For example, assume we have PG_dirty accounting in memcg. PG_..is a flag for struct page. PCG_ is a flag for struct page_cgroup. (This is just an example. The same problem can be found in any kind of page stat accounting.) CPU-A CPU-B TestSet PG_dirty (delay) TestClear PG_dirty if (TestClear(PCG_dirty)) memcg->nr_dirty-- if (TestSet(PCG_dirty)) memcg->nr_dirty++ Here, memcg->nr_dirty = +1, this is wrong. This race was reported by Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com>. Now, only FILE_MAPPED is supported but fortunately, it's serialized by page table lock and this is not real bug, _now_, If this potential problem is caused by having duplicated information in struct page and struct page_cgroup, we may be able to fix this by using original 'struct page' information. But we'll have a problem in "move account" Assume we use only PG_dirty. CPU-A CPU-B TestSet PG_dirty (delay) move_lock_mem_cgroup() if (PageDirty(page)) new_memcg->nr_dirty++ pc->mem_cgroup = new_memcg; move_unlock_mem_cgroup() move_lock_mem_cgroup() memcg = pc->mem_cgroup new_memcg->nr_dirty++ accounting information may be double-counted. This was original reason to have PCG_xxx flags but it seems PCG_xxx has another problem. I think we need a bigger lock as move_lock_mem_cgroup(page) TestSetPageDirty(page) update page stats (without any checks) move_unlock_mem_cgroup(page) This fixes both of problems and we don't have to duplicate page flag into page_cgroup. Please note: move_lock_mem_cgroup() is held only when there are possibility of "account move" under the system. So, in most path, status update will go without atomic locks. This patch introduces mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() and mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat() both should be called at modifying 'struct page' information if memcg takes care of it. as mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() modify page information mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() => never check any 'struct page' info, just update counters. mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat(). This patch is slow because we need to call begin_update_page_stat()/ end_update_page_stat() regardless of accounted will be changed or not. A following patch adds an easy optimization and reduces the cost.

2012-03-21mm, memcg: pass charge order to oom killerDavid Rientjes
The oom killer typically displays the allocation order at the time of oom as a part of its diangostic messages (for global, cpuset, and mempolicy ooms). The memory controller may also pass the charge order to the oom killer so it can emit the same information. This is useful in determining how large the memory allocation is that triggered the oom killer.

2012-03-05memcg: fix GPF when cgroup removal races with last exitHugh Dickins
When moving tasks from old memcg (with move_charge_at_immigrate on new memcg), followed by removal of old memcg, hit General Protection Fault in mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() (called from release_pages called from free_pages_and_swap_cache from tlb_flush_mmu from tlb_finish_mmu from exit_mmap from mmput from exit_mm from do_exit). Somewhat reproducible, takes a few hours: the old struct mem_cgroup has been freed and poisoned by SLAB_DEBUG, but mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() is still trying to update its stats, and take page off lru before freeing. A task, or a charge, or a page on lru: each secures a memcg against removal. In this case, the last task has been moved out of the old memcg, and it is exiting: anonymous pages are uncharged one by one from the memcg, as they are zapped from its pagetables, so the charge gets down to 0; but the pages themselves are queued in an mmu_gather for freeing. Most of those pages will be on lru (and force_empty is careful to lru_add_drain_all, to add pages from pagevec to lru first), but not necessarily all: perhaps some have been isolated for page reclaim, perhaps some isolated for other reasons. So, force_empty may find no task, no charge and no page on lru, and let the removal proceed. There would still be no problem if these pages were immediately freed; but typically (and the put_page_testzero protocol demands it) they have to be added back to lru before they are found freeable, then removed from lru and freed. We don't see the issue when adding, because the mem_cgroup_iter() loops keep their own reference to the memcg being scanned; but when it comes to mem_cgroup_lru_del_list(). I believe this was not an issue in v3.2: there, PageCgroupAcctLRU and PageCgroupUsed flags were used (like a trick with mirrors) to deflect view of pc->mem_cgroup to the stable root_mem_cgroup when neither set. 38c5d72f3ebe ("memcg: simplify LRU handling by new rule") mercifully removed those convolutions, but left this General Protection Fault. But it's surprisingly easy to restore the old behaviour: just check PageCgroupUsed in mem_cgroup_lru_add_list() (which decides on which lruvec to add), and reset pc to root_mem_cgroup if page is uncharged. A risky change? just going back to how it worked before; testing, and an audit of uses of pc->mem_cgroup, show no problem. And there's a nice bonus: with mem_cgroup_lru_add_list() itself making sure that an uncharged page goes to root lru, mem_cgroup_reset_owner() no longer has any purpose, and we can safely revert 4e5f01c2b9b9 ("memcg: clear pc->mem_cgroup if necessary"). Calling update_page_reclaim_stat() after add_page_to_lru_list() in swap.c is not strictly necessary: the lru_lock there, with RCU before memcg structures are freed, makes mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_stat_from_page safe without that; but it seems cleaner to rely on one dependency less.

2012-01-12memcg: clear pc->mem_cgroup if necessary.KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This is a preparation before removing a flag PCG_ACCT_LRU in page_cgroup and reducing atomic ops/complexity in memcg LRU handling. In some cases, pages are added to lru before charge to memcg and pages are not classfied to memory cgroup at lru addtion. Now, the lru where the page should be added is determined a bit in page_cgroup->flags and pc->mem_cgroup. I'd like to remove the check of flag. To handle the case pc->mem_cgroup may contain stale pointers if pages are added to LRU before classification. This patch resets pc->mem_cgroup to root_mem_cgroup before lru additions.

2012-01-12memcg: make mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() more efficientKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
In split_huge_page(), mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() is called to handle page_cgroup modifcations. It takes move_lock_page_cgroup() and modifies page_cgroup and LRU accounting jobs and called HPAGE_PMD_SIZE - 1 times. But thinking again, - compound_lock() is held at move_accout...then, it's not necessary to take move_lock_page_cgroup(). - LRU is locked and all tail pages will go into the same LRU as head is now on. - page_cgroup is contiguous in huge page range. This patch fixes mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() as to be called once per hugepage and reduce costs for spliting.

2012-01-12mm: move memcg hierarchy reclaim to generic reclaim codeJohannes Weiner
Memory cgroup limit reclaim and traditional global pressure reclaim will soon share the same code to reclaim from a hierarchical tree of memory cgroups. In preparation of this, move the two right next to each other in shrink_zone(). The mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim() polymath is split into a soft limit reclaim function, which still does hierarchy walking on its own, and a limit (shrinking) reclaim function, which relies on generic reclaim code to walk the hierarchy.

2012-01-12memcg: add mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() to fix LRU issueKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Commit ef6a3c6311 ("mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function") added a function replace_page_cache_page(). This function replaces a page in the radix-tree with a new page. WHen doing this, memory cgroup needs to fix up the accounting information. memcg need to check PCG_USED bit etc. In some(many?) cases, 'newpage' is on LRU before calling replace_page_cache(). So, memcg's LRU accounting information should be fixed, too. This patch adds mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() and removes the old hooks. In that function, old pages will be unaccounted without touching res_counter and new page will be accounted to the memcg (of old page). WHen overwriting pc->mem_cgroup of newpage, take zone->lru_lock and avoid races with LRU handling. Background: replace_page_cache_page() is called by FUSE code in its splice() handling. Here, 'newpage' is replacing oldpage but this newpage is not a newly allocated page and may be on LRU. LRU mis-accounting will be critical for memory cgroup because rmdir() checks the whole LRU is empty and there is no account leak. If a page is on the other LRU than it should be, rmdir() will fail. This bug was added in March 2011, but no bug report yet. I guess there are not many people who use memcg and FUSE at the same time with upstream kernels. The result of this bug is that admin cannot destroy a memcg because of account leak. So, no panic, no deadlock. And, even if an active cgroup exist, umount can succseed. So no problem at shutdown.

2011-11-02memcg: skip scanning active lists based on individual sizeJohannes Weiner
Reclaim decides to skip scanning an active list when the corresponding inactive list is above a certain size in comparison to leave the assumed working set alone while there are still enough reclaim candidates around. The memcg implementation of comparing those lists instead reports whether the whole memcg is low on the requested type of inactive pages, considering all nodes and zones. This can lead to an oversized active list not being scanned because of the state of the other lists in the memcg, as well as an active list being scanned while its corresponding inactive list has enough pages. Not only is this wrong, it's also a scalability hazard, because the global memory state over all nodes and zones has to be gathered for each memcg and zone scanned. Make these calculations purely based on the size of the two LRU lists that are actually affected by the outcome of the decision.

Revert the post-3.0 commit 82f9d486e59f5 ("memcg: add memory.vmscan_stat"). The implementation of per-memcg reclaim statistics violates how memcg hierarchies usually behave: hierarchically. The reclaim statistics are accounted to child memcgs and the parent hitting the limit, but not to hierarchy levels in between. Usually, hierarchical statistics are perfectly recursive, with each level representing the sum of itself and all its children. Since this exports statistics to userspace, this may lead to confusion and problems with changing things after the release, so revert it now, we can try again later.

The commit log of 0ae5e89c60c9 ("memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim in...") says it adds scanning stats to memory.stat file. But it doesn't because we considered we needed to make a concensus for such new APIs. This patch is a trial to add memory.scan_stat. This shows - the number of scanned pages(total, anon, file) - the number of rotated pages(total, anon, file) - the number of freed pages(total, anon, file) - the number of elaplsed time (including sleep/pause time) for both of direct/soft reclaim.

2011-07-26memcg: consolidate memory cgroup lru stat functionsKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
In mm/memcontrol.c, there are many lru stat functions as.. mem_cgroup_zone_nr_lru_pages mem_cgroup_node_nr_file_lru_pages mem_cgroup_nr_file_lru_pages mem_cgroup_node_nr_anon_lru_pages mem_cgroup_nr_anon_lru_pages mem_cgroup_node_nr_unevictable_lru_pages mem_cgroup_nr_unevictable_lru_pages mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages mem_cgroup_get_local_zonestat Some of them are under #ifdef MAX_NUMNODES >1 and others are not. This seems bad. This patch consolidates all functions into mem_cgroup_zone_nr_lru_pages() mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages() mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages() For these functions, "which LRU?" information is passed by a mask. example: mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages(mem, BIT(LRU_ACTIVE_ANON)) And I added some macro as ALL_LRU, ALL_LRU_FILE, ALL_LRU_ANON. example: mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages(mem, ALL_LRU) BTW, considering layout of NUMA memory placement of counters, this patch seems to be better. Now, when we gather all LRU information, we scan in following orer for_each_lru -> for_each_node -> for_each_zone. This means we'll touch cache lines in different node in turn. After patch, we'll scan for_each_node -> for_each_zone -> for_each_lru(mask) Then, we'll gather information in the same cacheline at once.

2011-06-15vmscan,memcg: memcg aware swap tokenKOSAKI Motohiro
Currently, memcg reclaim can disable swap token even if the swap token mm doesn't belong in its memory cgroup. It's slightly risky. If an admin creates very small mem-cgroup and silly guy runs contentious heavy memory pressure workload, every tasks are going to lose swap token and then system may become unresponsive. That's bad. This patch adds 'memcg' parameter into disable_swap_token(). and if the parameter doesn't match swap token, VM doesn't disable it.

2011-05-26memcg: add the pagefault count into memcg statsYing Han
Two new stats in per-memcg memory.stat which tracks the number of page faults and number of major page faults. "pgfault" "pgmajfault" They are different from "pgpgin"/"pgpgout" stat which count number of pages charged/discharged to the cgroup and have no meaning of reading/ writing page to disk. It is valuable to track the two stats for both measuring application's performance as well as the efficiency of the kernel page reclaim path. Counting pagefaults per process is useful, but we also need the aggregated value since processes are monitored and controlled in cgroup basis in memcg. Functional test: check the total number of pgfault/pgmajfault of all memcgs and compare with global vmstat value: $ cat /proc/vmstat | grep fault pgfault 1070751 pgmajfault 553 $ cat /dev/cgroup/memory.stat | grep fault pgfault 1071138 pgmajfault 553 total_pgfault 1071142 total_pgmajfault 553 $ cat /dev/cgroup/A/memory.stat | grep fault pgfault 199 pgmajfault 0 total_pgfault 199 total_pgmajfault 0 Performance test: run page fault test(pft) wit 16 thread on faulting in 15G anon pages in 16G container.

2011-05-26memcg: reclaim memory from nodes in round-robin orderYing Han
Presently, memory cgroup's direct reclaim frees memory from the current node. But this has some troubles. Usually when a set of threads works in a cooperative way, they tend to operate on the same node. So if they hit limits under memcg they will reclaim memory from themselves, damaging the active working set. For example, assume 2 node system which has Node 0 and Node 1 and a memcg which has 1G limit. After some work, file cache remains and the usages are Node 0: 1M Node 1: 998M. and run an application on Node 0, it will eat its foot before freeing unnecessary file caches. This patch adds round-robin for NUMA and adds equal pressure to each node. When using cpuset's spread memory feature, this will work very well. But yes, a better algorithm is needed.

2011-05-26memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim in global background reclaimYing Han
The global kswapd scans per-zone LRU and reclaims pages regardless of the cgroup. It breaks memory isolation since one cgroup can end up reclaiming pages from another cgroup. Instead we should rely on memcg-aware target reclaim including per-memcg kswapd and soft_limit hierarchical reclaim under memory pressure. In the global background reclaim, we do soft reclaim before scanning the per-zone LRU. However, the return value is ignored. This patch is the first step to skip shrink_zone() if soft_limit reclaim does enough work. This is part of the effort which tries to reduce reclaiming pages in global LRU in memcg. The per-memcg background reclaim patchset further enhances the per-cgroup targetting reclaim, which I should have V4 posted shortly. Try running multiple memory intensive workloads within seperate memcgs. Watch the counters of soft_steal in memory.stat. $ cat /dev/cgroup/A/memory.stat | grep 'soft' soft_steal 240000 soft_scan 240000 total_soft_steal 240000 total_soft_scan 240000 This patch: In the global background reclaim, we do soft reclaim before scanning the per-zone LRU. However, the return value is ignored. We would like to skip shrink_zone() if soft_limit reclaim does enough work. Also, we need to make the memory pressure balanced across per-memcg zones, like the logic vm-core. This patch is the first step where we start with counting the nr_scanned and nr_reclaimed from soft_limit reclaim into the global scan_control.

2011-01-13memcg: fix memory migration of shmem swapcacheDaisuke Nishimura
In the current implementation mem_cgroup_end_migration() decides whether the page migration has succeeded or not by checking "oldpage->mapping". But if we are tring to migrate a shmem swapcache, the page->mapping of it is NULL from the begining, so the check would be invalid. As a result, mem_cgroup_end_migration() assumes the migration has succeeded even if it's not, so "newpage" would be freed while it's not uncharged.

2010-08-09oom: badness heuristic rewriteDavid Rientjes
This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions. The goal is to make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace. Instead of basing the heuristic on mm->total_vm for each task, the task's rss and swap space is used instead. This is a better indication of the amount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen and subsequently exits. This helps specifically in cases where KDE or GNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory hogging task. The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of "allowable" memory. "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide resources for unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit. The proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill), roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap space. The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of nodes or mems, respectively. Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory() provides in LSMs. In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of memory, it is generally better to save root's task. Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it. It's not possible to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability. Instead, a new tunable, /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000. It may be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never considered for oom kill while others may always be considered. The value is added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset, or sharing the same memory controller. /proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa. Changing one of these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an equivalent meaning. Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as /proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity. This is required so the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to be deprecated for future removal.

2010-08-09vmscan: kill prev_priority completelyKOSAKI Motohiro
Since 2.6.28 zone->prev_priority is unused. Then it can be removed safely. It reduce stack usage slightly. Now I have to say that I'm sorry. 2 years ago, I thought prev_priority can be integrate again, it's useful. but four (or more) times trying haven't got good performance number. Thus I give up such approach. The rest of this changelog is notes on prev_priority and why it existed in the first place and why it might be not necessary any more. This information is based heavily on discussions between Andrew Morton, Rik van Riel and Kosaki Motohiro who is heavily quotes from. Historically prev_priority was important because it determined when the VM would start unmapping PTE pages. i.e. there are no balances of note within the VM, Anon vs File and Mapped vs Unmapped. Without prev_priority, there is a potential risk of unnecessarily increasing minor faults as a large amount of read activity of use-once pages could push mapped pages to the end of the LRU and get unmapped. There is no proof this is still a problem but currently it is not considered to be. Active files are not deactivated if the active file list is smaller than the inactive list reducing the liklihood that file-mapped pages are being pushed off the LRU and referenced executable pages are kept on the active list to avoid them getting pushed out by read activity. Even if it is a problem, prev_priority prev_priority wouldn't works nowadays. First of all, current vmscan still a lot of UP centric code. it expose some weakness on some dozens CPUs machine. I think we need more and more improvement. The problem is, current vmscan mix up per-system-pressure, per-zone-pressure and per-task-pressure a bit. example, prev_priority try to boost priority to other concurrent priority. but if the another task have mempolicy restriction, it is unnecessary, but also makes wrong big latency and exceeding reclaim. per-task based priority + prev_priority adjustment make the emulation of per-system pressure. but it have two issue 1) too rough and brutal emulation 2) we need per-zone pressure, not per-system. Another example, currently DEF_PRIORITY is 12. it mean the lru rotate about 2 cycle (1/4096 + 1/2048 + 1/1024 + .. + 1) before invoking OOM-Killer. but if 10,0000 thrreads enter DEF_PRIORITY reclaim at the same time, the system have higher memory pressure than priority==0 (1/4096*10,000 > 2). prev_priority can't solve such multithreads workload issue. In other word, prev_priority concept assume the sysmtem don't have lots threads."

FILE_MAPPED per memcg of migrated file cache is not properly updated, because our hook in page_add_file_rmap() can't know to which memcg FILE_MAPPED should be counted. Basically, this patch is for fixing the bug but includes some big changes to fix up other messes. Now, at migrating mapped file, events happen in following sequence. 1. allocate a new page. 2. get memcg of an old page. 3. charge ageinst a new page before migration. But at this point, no changes to new page's page_cgroup, no commit for the charge. (IOW, PCG_USED bit is not set.) 4. page migration replaces radix-tree, old-page and new-page. 5. page migration remaps the new page if the old page was mapped. 6. Here, the new page is unlocked. 7. memcg commits the charge for newpage, Mark the new page's page_cgroup as PCG_USED. Because "commit" happens after page-remap, we can count FILE_MAPPED at "5", because we should avoid to trust page_cgroup->mem_cgroup. if PCG_USED bit is unset. (Note: memcg's LRU removal code does that but LRU-isolation logic is used for helping it. When we overwrite page_cgroup->mem_cgroup, page_cgroup is not on LRU or page_cgroup->mem_cgroup is NULL.) We can lose file_mapped accounting information at 5 because FILE_MAPPED is updated only when mapcount changes 0->1. So we should catch it. BTW, historically, above implemntation comes from migration-failure of anonymous page. Because we charge both of old page and new page with mapcount=0, we can't catch - the page is really freed before remap. - migration fails but it's freed before remap or .....corner cases. New migration sequence with memcg is: 1. allocate a new page. 2. mark PageCgroupMigration to the old page. 3. charge against a new page onto the old page's memcg. (here, new page's pc is marked as PageCgroupUsed.) 4. page migration replaces radix-tree, page table, etc... 5. At remapping, new page's page_cgroup is now makrked as "USED" We can catch 0->1 event and FILE_MAPPED will be properly updated. And we can catch SWAPOUT event after unlock this and freeing this page by unmap() can be caught. 7. Clear PageCgroupMigration of the old page. So, FILE_MAPPED will be correctly updated. Then, for what MIGRATION flag is ? Without it, at migration failure, we may have to charge old page again because it may be fully unmapped. "charge" means that we have to dive into memory reclaim or something complated. So, it's better to avoid charge it again. Before this patch, __commit_charge() was working for both of the old/new page and fixed up all. But this technique has some racy condtion around FILE_MAPPED and SWAPOUT etc... Now, the kernel use MIGRATION flag and don't uncharge old page until the end of migration. I hope this change will make memcg's page migration much simpler. This page migration has caused several troubles. Worth to add a flag for simplification.

2010-05-25vmscan: remove isolate_pages callback scan controlJohannes Weiner
For now, we have global isolation vs. memory control group isolation, do not allow the reclaim entry function to set an arbitrary page isolation callback, we do not need that flexibility. And since we already pass around the group descriptor for the memory control group isolation case, just use it to decide which one of the two isolator functions to use. The decisions can be merged into nearby branches, so no extra cost there. In fact, we save the indirect calls.

2010-03-12memcg: fix oom kill behaviorKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
In current page-fault code, handle_mm_fault() -> ... -> mem_cgroup_charge() -> map page or handle error. -> check return code. If page fault's return code is VM_FAULT_OOM, page_fault_out_of_memory() is called. But if it's caused by memcg, OOM should have been already invoked. Then, I added a patch: a636b327f731143ccc544b966cfd8de6cb6d72c6. That patch records last_oom_jiffies for memcg's sub-hierarchy and prevents page_fault_out_of_memory from being invoked in near future. But Nishimura-san reported that check by jiffies is not enough when the system is terribly heavy. This patch changes memcg's oom logic as. * If memcg causes OOM-kill, continue to retry. * remove jiffies check which is used now. * add memcg-oom-lock which works like perzone oom lock. * If current is killed(as a process), bypass charge. Something more sophisticated can be added but this pactch does fundamental things. TODO: - add oom notifier - add permemcg disable-oom-kill flag and freezer at oom. - more chances for wake up oom waiter (when changing memory limit etc..)

2009-12-16memcg: make memcg's file mapped consistent with global VMKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
In global VM, FILE_MAPPED is used but memcg uses MAPPED_FILE. This makes grep difficult. Replace memcg's MAPPED_FILE with FILE_MAPPED And in global VM, mapped shared memory is accounted into FILE_MAPPED. But memcg doesn't. fix it. Note: page_is_file_cache() just checks SwapBacked or not. So, we need to check PageAnon.

2009-12-16memcg: coalesce uncharge during unmap/truncateKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
In massive parallel enviroment, res_counter can be a performance bottleneck. One strong techinque to reduce lock contention is reducing calls by coalescing some amount of calls into one. Considering charge/uncharge chatacteristic, - charge is done one by one via demand-paging. - uncharge is done by - in chunk at munmap, truncate, exit, execve... - one by one via vmscan/paging. It seems we have a chance to coalesce uncharges for improving scalability at unmap/truncation. This patch is a for coalescing uncharge. For avoiding scattering memcg's structure to functions under /mm, this patch adds memcg batch uncharge information to the task. A reason for per-task batching is for making use of caller's context information. We do batched uncharge (deleyed uncharge) when truncation/unmap occurs but do direct uncharge when uncharge is called by memory reclaim (vmscan.c). The degree of coalescing depends on callers - at invalidate/trucate... pagevec size - at unmap ....ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE (memory itself will be freed in this degree.) Then, we'll not coalescing too much. On x86-64 8cpu server, I tested overheads of memcg at page fault by running a program which does map/fault/unmap in a loop. Running a task per a cpu by taskset and see sum of the number of page faults in 60secs. [without memcg config] 40156968 page-faults # 0.085 M/sec ( +- 0.046% ) 27.67 cache-miss/faults [root cgroup] 36659599 page-faults # 0.077 M/sec ( +- 0.247% ) 31.58 miss/faults [in a child cgroup] 18444157 page-faults # 0.039 M/sec ( +- 0.133% ) 69.96 miss/faults [child with this patch] 27133719 page-faults # 0.057 M/sec ( +- 0.155% ) 47.16 miss/faults We can see some amounts of improvement. (root cgroup doesn't affected by this patch) Another patch for "charge" will follow this and above will be improved more. Changelog(since 2009/10/02): - renamed filed of memcg_batch (as pages to bytes, memsw to memsw_bytes) - some clean up and commentary/description updates. - added initialize code to copy_process().

2009-09-24memory controller: soft limit reclaim on contentionBalbir Singh
Implement reclaim from groups over their soft limit Permit reclaim from memory cgroups on contention (via the direct reclaim path). memory cgroup soft limit reclaim finds the group that exceeds its soft limit by the largest number of pages and reclaims pages from it and then reinserts the cgroup into its correct place in the rbtree. Add additional checks to mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim() to detect long loops in case all swap is turned off. The code has been refactored and the loop check (loop < 2) has been enhanced for soft limits. For soft limits, we try to do more targetted reclaim. Instead of bailing out after two loops, the routine now reclaims memory proportional to the size by which the soft limit is exceeded. The proportion has been empirically determined.

2009-06-18memcg: add file-based RSS accountingBalbir Singh
Add file RSS tracking per memory cgroup We currently don't track file RSS, the RSS we report is actually anon RSS. All the file mapped pages, come in through the page cache and get accounted there. This patch adds support for accounting file RSS pages. It should 1. Help improve the metrics reported by the memory resource controller 2. Will form the basis for a future shared memory accounting heuristic that has been proposed by Kamezawa. Unfortunately, we cannot rename the existing "rss" keyword used in memory.stat to "anon_rss". We however, add "mapped_file" data and hope to educate the end user through documentation.

2009-06-16vmscan: evict use-once pages firstRik van Riel
When the file LRU lists are dominated by streaming IO pages, evict those pages first, before considering evicting other pages. This should be safe from deadlocks or performance problems because only three things can happen to an inactive file page: 1) referenced twice and promoted to the active list 2) evicted by the pageout code 3) under IO, after which it will get evicted or promoted The pages freed in this way can either be reused for streaming IO, or allocated for something else. If the pages are used for streaming IO, this pageout pattern continues. Otherwise, we will fall back to the normal pageout pattern.

2009-05-02memcg: fix mem_cgroup_shrink_usage()Daisuke Nishimura
Current mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() has two problems. 1. It doesn't call mem_cgroup_out_of_memory and doesn't update last_oom_jiffies, so pagefault_out_of_memory invokes global OOM. 2. Considering hierarchy, shrinking has to be done from the mem_over_limit, not from the memcg which the page would be charged to. mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() does all of these things properly, so we use it and call cancel_charge_swapin when it succeeded. The name of "shrink_usage" is not appropriate for this behavior, so we change it too.
