Presently, memcg's FILE_MAPPED accounting has following race with
move_account (happens at rmdir()).
increment page->mapcount (rmap.c)
mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped() move_account()
lock_page_cgroup()
check page_mapped() if
page_mapped(page)>1 {
FILE_MAPPED -1 from old memcg
FILE_MAPPED +1 to old memcg
}
.....
overwrite pc->mem_cgroup
unlock_page_cgroup()
lock_page_cgroup()
FILE_MAPPED + 1 to pc->mem_cgroup
unlock_page_cgroup()
Then,
old memcg (-1 file mapped)
new memcg (+2 file mapped)
This happens because move_account see page_mapped() which is not guarded
by lock_page_cgroup(). This patch adds FILE_MAPPED flag to page_cgroup
and move account information based on it. Now, all checks are synchronous
with lock_page_cgroup().

This patch is another core part of this move-charge-at-task-migration
feature. It enables moving charges of anonymous swaps.
To move the charge of swap, we need to exchange swap_cgroup's record.
In current implementation, swap_cgroup's record is protected by:
- page lock: if the entry is on swap cache.
- swap_lock: if the entry is not on swap cache.
This works well in usual swap-in/out activity.
But this behavior make the feature of moving swap charge check many
conditions to exchange swap_cgroup's record safely.
So I changed modification of swap_cgroup's recored(swap_cgroup_record())
to use xchg, and define a new function to cmpxchg swap_cgroup's record.
This patch also enables moving charge of non pte_present but not uncharged
swap caches, which can be exist on swap-out path, by getting the target
pages via find_get_page() as do_mincore() does.

mem_cgroup_move_parent() calls try_charge first and cancel_charge on
failure. IMHO, charge/uncharge(especially charge) is high cost operation,
so we should avoid it as far as possible.
This patch tries to delay try_charge in mem_cgroup_move_parent() by
re-ordering checks it does.
And this patch renames mem_cgroup_move_account() to
__mem_cgroup_move_account(), changes the return value of
__mem_cgroup_move_account() from int to void, and adds a new
wrapper(mem_cgroup_move_account()), which checks whether a @pc is valid
for moving account and calls __mem_cgroup_move_account().
This patch removes the last caller of trylock_page_cgroup(), so removes
its definition too.

Change the memory cgroup to remove the overhead associated with accounting
all pages in the root cgroup. As a side-effect, we can no longer set a
memory hard limit in the root cgroup.
A new flag to track whether the page has been accounted or not has been
added as well. Flags are now set atomically for page_cgroup,
pcg_default_flags is now obsolete and removed.

Now, SLAB is configured in very early stage and it can be used in
init routine now.
But replacing alloc_bootmem() in FLAT/DISCONTIGMEM's page_cgroup()
initialization breaks the allocation, now.
(Works well in SPARSEMEM case...it supports MEMORY_HOTPLUG and
size of page_cgroup is in reasonable size (< 1 << MAX_ORDER.)
This patch revive FLATMEM+memory cgroup by using alloc_bootmem.
In future,
We stop to support FLATMEM (if no users) or rewrite codes for flatmem
completely.But this will adds more messy codes and overheads.

Try to use CSS ID for records in swap_cgroup. By this, on 64bit machine,
size of swap_cgroup goes down to 2 bytes from 8bytes.
This means, when 2GB of swap is equipped, (assume the page size is 4096bytes)
From size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 8 = 4Mbytes.
To size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 2 = 1Mbytes.
Reduction is large. Of course, there are trade-offs. This CSS ID will
add overhead to swap-in/swap-out/swap-free.
But in general,
- swap is a resource which the user tend to avoid use.
- If swap is never used, swap_cgroup area is not used.
- Reading traditional manuals, size of swap should be proportional to
size of memory. Memory size of machine is increasing now.
I think reducing size of swap_cgroup makes sense.
Note:
- ID->CSS lookup routine has no locks, it's under RCU-Read-Side.
- memcg can be obsolete at rmdir() but not freed while refcnt from
swap_cgroup is available.
Changelog v4->v5:
- reworked on to memcg-charge-swapcache-to-proper-memcg.patch
Changlog ->v4:
- fixed not configured case.
- deleted unnecessary comments.
- fixed NULL pointer bug.
- fixed message in dmesg.

A big patch for changing memcg's LRU semantics.
Now,
- page_cgroup is linked to mem_cgroup's its own LRU (per zone).
- LRU of page_cgroup is not synchronous with global LRU.
- page and page_cgroup is one-to-one and statically allocated.
- To find page_cgroup is on what LRU, you have to check pc->mem_cgroup as
- lru = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc, nid_of_pc, zid_of_pc);
- SwapCache is handled.
And, when we handle LRU list of page_cgroup, we do following.
pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
lock_page_cgroup(pc); .....................(1)
mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc);
spin_lock(&mz->lru_lock);
.....add to LRU
spin_unlock(&mz->lru_lock);
unlock_page_cgroup(pc);
But (1) is spin_lock and we have to be afraid of dead-lock with zone->lru_lock.
So, trylock() is used at (1), now. Without (1), we can't trust "mz" is correct.
This is a trial to remove this dirty nesting of locks.
This patch changes mz->lru_lock to be zone->lru_lock.
Then, above sequence will be written as
spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU
mem_cgroup_add/remove/etc_lru() {
pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc);
if (PageCgroupUsed(pc)) {
....add to LRU
}
spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU
This is much simpler.
(*) We're safe even if we don't take lock_page_cgroup(pc). Because..
1. When pc->mem_cgroup can be modified.
- at charge.
- at account_move().
2. at charge
the PCG_USED bit is not set before pc->mem_cgroup is fixed.
3. at account_move()
the page is isolated and not on LRU.
Pros.
- easy for maintenance.
- memcg can make use of laziness of pagevec.
- we don't have to duplicated LRU/Active/Unevictable bit in page_cgroup.
- LRU status of memcg will be synchronized with global LRU's one.
- # of locks are reduced.
- account_move() is simplified very much.
Cons.
- may increase cost of LRU rotation.
(no impact if memcg is not configured.)

For accounting swap, we need a record per swap entry, at least.
This patch adds following function.
- swap_cgroup_swapon() .... called from swapon
- swap_cgroup_swapoff() ... called at the end of swapoff.
- swap_cgroup_record() .... record information of swap entry.
- swap_cgroup_lookup() .... lookup information of swap entry.
This patch just implements "how to record information". No actual method
for limit the usage of swap. These routine uses flat table to record and
lookup. "wise" lookup system like radix-tree requires requires memory
allocation at new records but swap-out is usually called under memory
shortage (or memcg hits limit.) So, I used static allocation. (maybe
dynamic allocation is not very hard but it adds additional memory
allocation in memory shortage path.)
Note1: In this, we use pointer to record information and this means
8bytes per swap entry. I think we can reduce this when we
create "id of cgroup" in the range of 0-65535 or 0-255.

page_cgroup_init() is called from mem_cgroup_init(). But at this
point, we cannot call alloc_bootmem().
(and this caused panic at boot.)
This patch moves page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c.
Time table is following:
==
parse_args(). # we can trust mem_cgroup_subsys.disabled bit after this.
....
cgroup_init_early() # "early" init of cgroup.
....
setup_arch() # memmap is allocated.
...
page_cgroup_init();
mem_init(); # we cannot call alloc_bootmem after this.
....
cgroup_init() # mem_cgroup is initialized.
==
Before page_cgroup_init(), mem_map must be initialized. So,
I added page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c directly.
(*) maybe this is not very clean but
- cgroup_init_early() is too early
- in cgroup_init(), we have to use vmalloc instead of alloc_bootmem().
use of vmalloc area in x86-32 is important and we should avoid very large
vmalloc() in x86-32. So, we want to use alloc_bootmem() and added page_cgroup_init()
directly to init/main.c

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.
