alloc_page_buffers() currently uses get_mem_cgroup_from_page() for
charging the buffers to the page owner, which does an rcu-protected
page->memcg lookup and acquires a reference. But buffer allocation has
the page lock held throughout, which pins the page to the memcg and
thereby the memcg - neither rcu nor holding an extra reference during the
allocation are necessary. Use a raw page_memcg() instead.
This was the last user of get_mem_cgroup_from_page(), delete it.

In general it's unknown in advance if a slab page will contain accounted
objects or not. In order to avoid memory waste, an obj_cgroup vector is
allocated dynamically when a need to account of a new object arises. Such
approach is memory efficient, but requires an expensive cmpxchg() to set
up the memcg/objcgs pointer, because an allocation can race with a
different allocation on another cpu.
But in some common cases it's known for sure that a slab page will contain
accounted objects: if the page belongs to a slab cache with a SLAB_ACCOUNT
flag set. It includes such popular objects like vm_area_struct, anon_vma,
task_struct, etc.
In such cases we can pre-allocate the objcgs vector and simple assign it
to the page without any atomic operations, because at this early stage the
page is not visible to anyone else.
A very simplistic benchmark (allocating 10000000 64-bytes objects in a
row) shows ~15% win. In the real life it seems that most workloads are
not very sensitive to the speed of (accounted) slab allocations.

Boot a CONFIG_MEMCG=y kernel with "cgroup_disabled=memory" and you are
met by a series of warnings from the VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE(!memcg, page)
recently added to the inline mem_cgroup_page_lruvec().
An earlier attempt to place that warning, in mem_cgroup_lruvec(), had
been careful to do so after weeding out the mem_cgroup_disabled() case;
but was itself invalid because of the mem_cgroup_lruvec(NULL, pgdat) in
clear_pgdat_congested() and age_active_anon().
Warning in mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() was once useful in detecting a KSM
charge bug, so may be worth keeping: but skip if mem_cgroup_disabled().

Patch series "memcg: add pagetable comsumption to memory.stat", v2.
Many workloads consumes significant amount of memory in pagetables. One
specific use-case is the user space network driver which mmaps the
application memory to provide zero copy transfer. This driver can consume
a large amount memory in page tables. This patch series exposes the
pagetable comsumption for each memory cgroup.
This patch (of 2):
This does not change any functionality and only move the functions which
update the lruvec stats to vmstat.h from memcontrol.h. The main reason
for this patch is to be able to use these functions in the page table
contructor function which is defined in mm.h and we can not include the
memcontrol.h in that file. Also this is a better place for this interface
in general. The lruvec abstraction, while invented for memcg, isn't
specific to memcg at all.

Patch series "mm: memcg: deprecate cgroup v1 non-hierarchical mode", v1.
The non-hierarchical cgroup v1 mode is a legacy of early days
of the memory controller and doesn't bring any value today.
However, it complicates the code and creates many edge cases
all over the memory controller code.
It's a good time to deprecate it completely. This patchset removes
the internal logic, adjusts the user interface and updates
the documentation. The alt patch removes some bits of the cgroup
core code, which become obsolete.
Michal Hocko said:
"All that we know today is that we have a warning in place to complain
loudly when somebody relies on use_hierarchy=0 with a deeper
hierarchy. For all those years we have seen _zero_ reports that would
describe a sensible usecase.
Moreover we (SUSE) have backported this warning into old distribution
kernels (since 3.0 based kernels) to extend the coverage and didn't
hear even for users who adopt new kernels only very slowly. The only
report we have seen so far was a LTP test suite which doesn't really
reflect any real life usecase"
This patch (of 3):
The non-hierarchical cgroup v1 mode is a legacy of early days of the
memory controller and doesn't bring any value today. However, it
complicates the code and creates many edge cases all over the memory
controller code.
It's a good time to deprecate it completely.
Functionally this patch enabled is by default for all cgroups and forbids
switching it off. Nothing changes if cgroup v2 is used: hierarchical mode
was enforced from scratch.
To protect the ABI memory.use_hierarchy interface is preserved with a
limited functionality: reading always returns "1", writing of "1" passes
silently, writing of any other value fails with -EINVAL and a warning to
dmesg (on the first occasion).

PageKmemcg flag is currently defined as a page type (like buddy, offline,
table and guard). Semantically it means that the page was accounted as a
kernel memory by the page allocator and has to be uncharged on the
release.
As a side effect of defining the flag as a page type, the accounted page
can't be mapped to userspace (look at page_has_type() and comments above).
In particular, this blocks the accounting of vmalloc-backed memory used
by some bpf maps, because these maps do map the memory to userspace.
One option is to fix it by complicating the access to page->mapcount,
which provides some free bits for page->page_type.
But it's way better to move this flag into page->memcg_data flags.
Indeed, the flag makes no sense without enabled memory cgroups and memory
cgroup pointer set in particular.
This commit replaces PageKmemcg() and __SetPageKmemcg() with
PageMemcgKmem() and an open-coded OR operation setting the memcg pointer
with the MEMCG_DATA_KMEM bit. __ClearPageKmemcg() can be simple deleted,
as the whole memcg_data is zeroed at once.
As a bonus, on !CONFIG_MEMCG build the PageMemcgKmem() check will be
compiled out.

To gather all direct accesses to struct page's memcg_data field in one
place, let's introduce 3 new helpers to use in the slab accounting code:
struct obj_cgroup **page_objcgs(struct page *page);
struct obj_cgroup **page_objcgs_check(struct page *page);
bool set_page_objcgs(struct page *page, struct obj_cgroup **objcgs);
They are similar to the corresponding API for generic pages, except that
the setter can return false, indicating that the value has been already
set from a different thread.

Patch series "mm: allow mapping accounted kernel pages to userspace", v6.
Currently a non-slab kernel page which has been charged to a memory cgroup
can't be mapped to userspace. The underlying reason is simple: PageKmemcg
flag is defined as a page type (like buddy, offline, etc), so it takes a
bit from a page->mapped counter. Pages with a type set can't be mapped to
userspace.
But in general the kmemcg flag has nothing to do with mapping to
userspace. It only means that the page has been accounted by the page
allocator, so it has to be properly uncharged on release.
Some bpf maps are mapping the vmalloc-based memory to userspace, and their
memory can't be accounted because of this implementation detail.
This patchset removes this limitation by moving the PageKmemcg flag into
one of the free bits of the page->mem_cgroup pointer. Also it formalizes
accesses to the page->mem_cgroup and page->obj_cgroups using new helpers,
adds several checks and removes a couple of obsolete functions. As the
result the code became more robust with fewer open-coded bit tricks.
This patch (of 4):
Currently there are many open-coded reads of the page->mem_cgroup pointer,
as well as a couple of read helpers, which are barely used.
It creates an obstacle on a way to reuse some bits of the pointer for
storing additional bits of information. In fact, we already do this for
slab pages, where the last bit indicates that a pointer has an attached
vector of objcg pointers instead of a regular memcg pointer.
This commits uses 2 existing helpers and introduces a new helper to
converts all read sides to calls of these helpers:
struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg(struct page *page);
struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg_rcu(struct page *page);
struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg_check(struct page *page);
page_memcg_check() is intended to be used in cases when the page can be a
slab page and have a memcg pointer pointing at objcg vector. It does
check the lowest bit, and if set, returns NULL. page_memcg() contains a
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() check for the page not being a slab page.
To make sure nobody uses a direct access, struct page's
mem_cgroup/obj_cgroups is converted to unsigned long memcg_data.

0day reported one -22.7% regression for will-it-scale page_fault2
case [1] on a 4 sockets 144 CPU platform, and bisected to it to be
caused by Waiman's optimization (commit bd0b230fe1) of saving one
'struct page_counter' space for 'struct mem_cgroup'.
Initially we thought it was due to the cache alignment change introduced
by the patch, but further debug shows that it is due to some hot data
members ('vmstats_local', 'vmstats_percpu', 'vmstats') sit in 2 adjacent
cacheline (2N and 2N+1 cacheline), and when adjacent cache line prefetch
is enabled, it triggers an "extended level" of cache false sharing for
2 adjacent cache lines.
So exchange the 2 member blocks, while keeping mostly the original
cache alignment, which can restore and even enhance the performance,
and save 64 bytes of space for 'struct mem_cgroup' (from 2880 to 2816,
with 0day's default RHEL-8.3 kernel config)

If a memcg to charge can be determined (using remote charging API), there
are no reasons to exclude allocations made from an interrupt context from
the accounting.
Such allocations will pass even if the resulting memcg size will exceed
the hard limit, but it will affect the application of the memory pressure
and an inability to put the workload under the limit will eventually
trigger the OOM.
To use active_memcg() helper, memcg_kmem_bypass() is moved back to

mem_cgroup_protected currently is both used to set effective low and min
and return a mem_cgroup_protection based on the result. As a user, this
can be a little unexpected: it appears to be a simple predicate function,
if not for the big warning in the comment above about the order in which
it must be executed.
This change makes it so that we separate the state mutations from the
actual protection checks, which makes it more obvious where we need to be
careful mutating internal state, and where we are simply checking and
don't need to worry about that.

Patch series "mm, memcg: memory.{low,min} reclaim fix & cleanup", v4.
This series contains a fix for a edge case in my earlier protection
calculation patches, and a patch to make the area overall a little more
robust to hopefully help avoid this in future.
This patch (of 2):
A cgroup can have both memory protection and a memory limit to isolate it
from its siblings in both directions - for example, to prevent it from
being shrunk below 2G under high pressure from outside, but also from
growing beyond 4G under low pressure.
Commit 9783aa9917 ("mm, memcg: proportional memory.{low,min} reclaim")
implemented proportional scan pressure so that multiple siblings in excess
of their protection settings don't get reclaimed equally but instead in
accordance to their unprotected portion.
During limit reclaim, this proportionality shouldn't apply of course:
there is no competition, all pressure is from within the cgroup and should
be applied as such. Reclaim should operate at full efficiency.
However, mem_cgroup_protected() never expected anybody to look at the
effective protection values when it indicated that the cgroup is above its
protection. As a result, a query during limit reclaim may return stale
protection values that were calculated by a previous reclaim cycle in
which the cgroup did have siblings.
When this happens, reclaim is unnecessarily hesitant and potentially slow
to meet the desired limit. In theory this could lead to premature OOM
kills, although it's not obvious this has occurred in practice.
Workaround the problem by special casing reclaim roots in
mem_cgroup_protection. These memcgs are never participating in the
reclaim protection because the reclaim is internal.
We have to ignore effective protection values for reclaim roots because
mem_cgroup_protected might be called from racing reclaim contexts with
different roots. Calculation is relying on root -> leaf tree traversal
therefore top-down reclaim protection invariants should hold. The only
exception is the reclaim root which should have effective protection set
to 0 but that would be problematic for the following setup:
Let's have global and A's reclaim in parallel:
|
A (low=2G, usage = 3G, max = 3G, children_low_usage = 1.5G)
|\
| C (low = 1G, usage = 2.5G)
B (low = 1G, usage = 0.5G)
for A reclaim we have
B.elow = B.low
C.elow = C.low
For the global reclaim
A.elow = A.low
B.elow = min(B.usage, B.low) because children_low_usage <= A.elow
C.elow = min(C.usage, C.low)
With the effective values resetting we have A reclaim
A.elow = 0
B.elow = B.low
C.elow = C.low
and global reclaim could see the above and then
B.elow = C.elow = 0 because children_low_usage > A.elow
Which means that protected memcgs would get reclaimed.
In future we would like to make mem_cgroup_protected more robust against
racing reclaim contexts but that is likely more complex solution than this
simple workaround.

Currently memcg_kmem_enabled() is optimized for the kernel memory
accounting being off. It was so for a long time, and arguably the reason
behind was that the kernel memory accounting was initially an opt-in
feature. However, now it's on by default on both cgroup v1 and cgroup v2,
and it's on for all cgroups. So let's switch over to
static_branch_likely() to reflect this fact.
Unlikely there is a significant performance difference, as the cost of a
memory allocation and its accounting significantly exceeds the cost of a
jump. However, the conversion makes the code look more logically.

Because the number of non-root kmem_caches doesn't depend on the number of
memory cgroups anymore and is generally not very big, there is no more
need for a dedicated workqueue.
Also, as there is no more need to pass any arguments to the
memcg_create_kmem_cache() except the root kmem_cache, it's possible to
just embed the work structure into the kmem_cache and avoid the dynamic
allocation of the work structure.
This will also simplify the synchronization: for each root kmem_cache
there is only one work. So there will be no more concurrent attempts to
create a non-root kmem_cache for a root kmem_cache: the second and all
following attempts to queue the work will fail.
On the kmem_cache destruction path there is no more need to call the
expensive flush_workqueue() and wait for all pending works to be finished.
Instead, cancel_work_sync() can be used to cancel/wait for only one work.

This is fairly big but mostly red patch, which makes all accounted slab
allocations use a single set of kmem_caches instead of creating a separate
set for each memory cgroup.
Because the number of non-root kmem_caches is now capped by the number of
root kmem_caches, there is no need to shrink or destroy them prematurely.
They can be perfectly destroyed together with their root counterparts.
This allows to dramatically simplify the management of non-root
kmem_caches and delete a ton of code.
This patch performs the following changes:
1) introduces memcg_params.memcg_cache pointer to represent the
kmem_cache which will be used for all non-root allocations
2) reuses the existing memcg kmem_cache creation mechanism
to create memcg kmem_cache on the first allocation attempt
3) memcg kmem_caches are named <kmemcache_name>-memcg,
e.g. dentry-memcg
4) simplifies memcg_kmem_get_cache() to just return memcg kmem_cache
or schedule it's creation and return the root cache
5) removes almost all non-root kmem_cache management code
(separate refcounter, reparenting, shrinking, etc)
6) makes slab debugfs to display root_mem_cgroup css id and never
show :dead and :deact flags in the memcg_slabinfo attribute.
Following patches in the series will simplify the kmem_cache creation.

Store the obj_cgroup pointer in the corresponding place of
page->obj_cgroups for each allocated non-root slab object. Make sure that
each allocated object holds a reference to obj_cgroup.
Objcg pointer is obtained from the memcg->objcg dereferencing in
memcg_kmem_get_cache() and passed from pre_alloc_hook to post_alloc_hook.
Then in case of successful allocation(s) it's getting stored in the
page->obj_cgroups vector.
The objcg obtaining part look a bit bulky now, but it will be simplified
by next commits in the series.

Obj_cgroup API provides an ability to account sub-page sized kernel
objects, which potentially outlive the original memory cgroup.
The top-level API consists of the following functions:
bool obj_cgroup_tryget(struct obj_cgroup *objcg);
void obj_cgroup_get(struct obj_cgroup *objcg);
void obj_cgroup_put(struct obj_cgroup *objcg);
int obj_cgroup_charge(struct obj_cgroup *objcg, gfp_t gfp, size_t size);
void obj_cgroup_uncharge(struct obj_cgroup *objcg, size_t size);
struct mem_cgroup *obj_cgroup_memcg(struct obj_cgroup *objcg);
struct obj_cgroup *get_obj_cgroup_from_current(void);
Object cgroup is basically a pointer to a memory cgroup with a per-cpu
reference counter. It substitutes a memory cgroup in places where it's
necessary to charge a custom amount of bytes instead of pages.
All charged memory rounded down to pages is charged to the corresponding
memory cgroup using __memcg_kmem_charge().
It implements reparenting: on memcg offlining it's getting reattached to
the parent memory cgroup. Each online memory cgroup has an associated
active object cgroup to handle new allocations and the list of all
attached object cgroups. On offlining of a cgroup this list is reparented
and for each object cgroup in the list the memcg pointer is swapped to the
parent memory cgroup. It prevents long-living objects from pinning the
original memory cgroup in the memory.
The implementation is based on byte-sized per-cpu stocks. A sub-page
sized leftover is stored in an atomic field, which is a part of obj_cgroup
object. So on cgroup offlining the leftover is automatically reparented.
memcg->objcg is rcu protected. objcg->memcg is a raw pointer, which is
always pointing at a memory cgroup, but can be atomically swapped to the
parent memory cgroup. So a user must ensure the lifetime of the
cgroup, e.g. grab rcu_read_lock or css_set_lock.

Patch series "The new cgroup slab memory controller", v7.
The patchset moves the accounting from the page level to the object level.
It allows to share slab pages between memory cgroups. This leads to a
significant win in the slab utilization (up to 45%) and the corresponding
drop in the total kernel memory footprint. The reduced number of
unmovable slab pages should also have a positive effect on the memory
fragmentation.
The patchset makes the slab accounting code simpler: there is no more need
in the complicated dynamic creation and destruction of per-cgroup slab
caches, all memory cgroups use a global set of shared slab caches. The
lifetime of slab caches is not more connected to the lifetime of memory
cgroups.
The more precise accounting does require more CPU, however in practice the
difference seems to be negligible. We've been using the new slab
controller in Facebook production for several months with different
workloads and haven't seen any noticeable regressions. What we've seen
were memory savings in order of 1 GB per host (it varied heavily depending
on the actual workload, size of RAM, number of CPUs, memory pressure,
etc).
The third version of the patchset added yet another step towards the
simplification of the code: sharing of slab caches between accounted and
non-accounted allocations. It comes with significant upsides (most
noticeable, a complete elimination of dynamic slab caches creation) but
not without some regression risks, so this change sits on top of the
patchset and is not completely merged in. So in the unlikely event of a
noticeable performance regression it can be reverted separately.
The slab memory accounting works in exactly the same way for SLAB and
SLUB. With both allocators the new controller shows significant memory
savings, with SLUB the difference is bigger. On my 16-core desktop
machine running Fedora 32 the size of the slab memory measured after the
start of the system was lower by 58% and 38% with SLUB and SLAB
correspondingly.
As an estimation of a potential CPU overhead, below are results of
slab_bulk_test01 test, kindly provided by Jesper D. Brouer. He also
helped with the evaluation of results.

We split the LRU lists into anon and file, and we rebalance the scan
pressure between them when one of them begins thrashing: if the file cache
experiences workingset refaults, we increase the pressure on anonymous
pages; if the workload is stalled on swapins, we increase the pressure on
the file cache instead.
With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this
correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU
order among the pages of all involved cgroups, LRU pressure balancing is
done on an individual cgroup LRU level. As a result, when one cgroup is
thrashing on the filesystem cache while a sibling may have cold anonymous
pages, pressure doesn't get equalized between them.
This patch moves LRU balancing decision to the root of reclaim - the same
level where the LRU order is established.
It does this by tracking LRU cost recursively, so that every level of the
cgroup tree knows the aggregate LRU cost of all memory within its domain.
When the page scanner calculates the scan balance for any given individual
cgroup's LRU list, it uses the values from the ancestor cgroup that
initiated the reclaim cycle.
If one sibling is then thrashing on the cache, it will tip the pressure
balance inside its ancestors, and the next hierarchical reclaim iteration
will go more after the anon pages in the tree.

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 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.
