mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in memory.stat reporting

2021-01-09T12:37:37+00:00

commit a983b5ebee57209c99f68c8327072f25e0e6e3da upstream We've seen memory.stat reads in top-level cgroups take up to fourteen seconds during a userspace bug that created tens of thousands of ghost cgroups pinned by lingering page cache. Even with a more reasonable number of cgroups, aggregating memory.stat is unnecessarily heavy. The complexity is this: nr_cgroups * nr_stat_items * nr_possible_cpus where the stat items are ~70 at this point. With 128 cgroups and 128 CPUs - decent, not enormous setups - reading the top-level memory.stat has to aggregate over a million per-cpu counters. This doesn't scale. Instead of spreading the source of truth across all CPUs, use the per-cpu counters merely to batch updates to shared atomic counters. This is the same as the per-cpu stocks we use for charging memory to the shared atomic page_counters, and also the way the global vmstat counters are implemented. Vmstat has elaborate spilling thresholds that depend on the number of CPUs, amount of memory, and memory pressure - carefully balancing the cost of counter updates with the amount of per-cpu error. That's because the vmstat counters are system-wide, but also used for decisions inside the kernel (e.g. NR_FREE_PAGES in the allocator). Neither is true for the memory controller. Use the same static batch size we already use for page_counter updates during charging. The per-cpu error in the stats will be 128k, which is an acceptable ratio of cores to memory accounting granularity.

mm: memcontrol: implement lruvec stat functions on top of each other

2021-01-09T12:37:37+00:00

commit 284542656e22c43fdada8c8cc0ca9ede8453eed7 upstream The implementation of the lruvec stat functions and their variants for accounting through a page, or accounting from a preemptible context, are mostly identical and needlessly repetitive. Implement the lruvec_page functions by looking up the page's lruvec and then using the lruvec function. Implement the functions for preemptible contexts by disabling preemption before calling the atomic context functions.

mm: memcontrol: eliminate raw access to stat and event counters

2021-01-09T12:37:37+00:00

commit c9019e9bf42e66d028d70d2da6206cad4dd9250d upstream Replace all raw 'this_cpu_' modifications of the stat and event per-cpu counters with API functions such as mod_memcg_state(). This makes the code easier to read, but is also in preparation for the next patch, which changes the per-cpu implementation of those counters.

mm: memcontrol: use int for event/state parameter in several functions

2017-09-07T00:27:27+00:00

Several functions use an enum type as parameter for an event/state, but are called in some locations with an argument of a different enum type. Adjust the interface of these functions to reality by changing the parameter to int. This fixes a ton of enum-conversion warnings that are generated when building the kernel with clang.

The stat functions looking up the page's node or zone are safe, as those attributes are static across allocation and free cycles. But page->mem_cgroup is not, and it will get cleared if we race with truncation or migration. It appears this race window has been around for a while, but less likely to trigger when the memcg stats were updated first thing after PG_writeback is cleared. Recent changes reshuffled this code to update the global node stats before the memcg ones, though, stretching the race window out to an extent where people can reproduce the problem. Update test_clear_page_writeback() to look up and pin page->mem_cgroup before clearing PG_writeback, then not use that pointer afterward. It is a partial revert of 62cccb8c8e7a ("mm: simplify lock_page_memcg()") but leaves the pageref-holding callsites that aren't affected alone.

mm: memcontrol: per-lruvec stats infrastructure

2017-07-06T23:24:35+00:00

lruvecs are at the intersection of the NUMA node and memcg, which is the scope for most paging activity. Introduce a convenient accounting infrastructure that maintains statistics per node, per memcg, and the lruvec itself. Then convert over accounting sites for statistics that are already tracked in both nodes and memcgs and can be easily switched.

mm/oom_kill: count global and memory cgroup oom kills

2017-07-06T23:24:35+00:00

Show count of oom killer invocations in /proc/vmstat and count of processes killed in memory cgroup in knob "memory.events" (in memory.oom_control for v1 cgroup). Also describe difference between "oom" and "oom_kill" in memory cgroup documentation. Currently oom in memory cgroup kills tasks iff shortage has happened inside page fault. These counters helps in monitoring oom kills - for now the only way is grepping for magic words in kernel log.

mm: per-cgroup memory reclaim stats

Track the following reclaim counters for every memory cgroup: PGREFILL, PGSCAN, PGSTEAL, PGACTIVATE, PGDEACTIVATE, PGLAZYFREE and PGLAZYFREED. These values are exposed using the memory.stats interface of cgroup v2. The meaning of each value is the same as for global counters, available using /proc/vmstat. Also, for consistency, rename mem_cgroup_count_vm_event() to count_memcg_event_mm().
