Revert "memcg: cleanup racy sum avoidance code"

2022-08-31T15:18:16+00:00

commit dbb16df6443c59e8a1ef21c2272fcf387d600ddf upstream. This reverts commit 96e51ccf1af33e82f429a0d6baebba29c6448d0f. Recently we started running the kernel with rstat infrastructure on production traffic and begin to see negative memcg stats values. Particularly the 'sock' stat is the one which we observed having negative value. $ grep "sock " /mnt/memory/job/memory.stat sock 253952 total_sock 18446744073708724224 Re-run after couple of seconds $ grep "sock " /mnt/memory/job/memory.stat sock 253952 total_sock 53248 For now we are only seeing this issue on large machines (256 CPUs) and only with 'sock' stat. I think the networking stack increase the stat on one cpu and decrease it on another cpu much more often. So, this negative sock is due to rstat flusher flushing the stats on the CPU that has seen the decrement of sock but missed the CPU that has increments. A typical race condition. For easy stable backport, revert is the most simple solution. For long term solution, I am thinking of two directions. First is just reduce the race window by optimizing the rstat flusher. Second is if the reader sees a negative stat value, force flush and restart the stat collection. Basically retry but limited.

zswap: memcg accounting

2022-05-19T21:08:53+00:00

Applications can currently escape their cgroup memory containment when zswap is enabled. This patch adds per-cgroup tracking and limiting of zswap backend memory to rectify this. The existing cgroup2 memory.stat file is extended to show zswap statistics analogous to what's in meminfo and vmstat. Furthermore, two new control files, memory.zswap.current and memory.zswap.max, are added to allow tuning zswap usage on a per-workload basis. This is important since not all workloads benefit from zswap equally; some even suffer compared to disk swap when memory contents don't compress well. The optimal size of the zswap pool, and the threshold for writeback, also depends on the size of the workload's warm set. The implementation doesn't use a traditional page_counter transaction. zswap is unconventional as a memory consumer in that we only know the amount of memory to charge once expensive compression has occurred. If zwap is disabled or the limit is already exceeded we obviously don't want to compress page upon page only to reject them all. Instead, the limit is checked against current usage, then we compress and charge. This allows some limit overrun, but not enough to matter in practice.

memcg: sync flush only if periodic flush is delayed

2022-04-22T03:01:09+00:00

Daniel Dao has reported [1] a regression on workloads that may trigger a lot of refaults (anon and file). The underlying issue is that flushing rstat is expensive. Although rstat flush are batched with (nr_cpus * MEMCG_BATCH) stat updates, it seems like there are workloads which genuinely do stat updates larger than batch value within short amount of time. Since the rstat flush can happen in the performance critical codepaths like page faults, such workload can suffer greatly. This patch fixes this regression by making the rstat flushing conditional in the performance critical codepaths. More specifically, the kernel relies on the async periodic rstat flusher to flush the stats and only if the periodic flusher is delayed by more than twice the amount of its normal time window then the kernel allows rstat flushing from the performance critical codepaths. Now the question: what are the side-effects of this change? The worst that can happen is the refault codepath will see 4sec old lruvec stats and may cause false (or missed) activations of the refaulted page which may under-or-overestimate the workingset size. Though that is not very concerning as the kernel can already miss or do false activations. There are two more codepaths whose flushing behavior is not changed by this patch and we may need to come to them in future. One is the writeback stats used by dirty throttling and second is the deactivation heuristic in the reclaim. For now keeping an eye on them and if there is report of regression due to these codepaths, we will reevaluate then.

mm: memcontrol: rename memcg_cache_id to memcg_kmem_id

2022-03-22T22:57:04+00:00

The memcg_cache_id() introduced by commit 2633d7a02823 ("slab/slub: consider a memcg parameter in kmem_create_cache") is used to index in the kmem_cache->memcg_params->memcg_caches array. Since kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg_caches has been removed by commit 9855609bde03 ("mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches for all accounted allocations"). So the name does not need to reflect cache related. Just rename it to memcg_kmem_id. And it can reflect kmem related.

mm: list_lru: replace linear array with xarray

2022-03-22T22:57:03+00:00

If we run 10k containers in the system, the size of the list_lru_memcg->lrus can be ~96KB per list_lru. When we decrease the number containers, the size of the array will not be shrinked. It is not scalable. The xarray is a good choice for this case. We can save a lot of memory when there are tens of thousands continers in the system. If we use xarray, we also can remove the logic code of resizing array, which can simplify the code.

mm: introduce kmem_cache_alloc_lru

2022-03-22T22:57:03+00:00

We currently allocate scope for every memcg to be able to tracked on every superblock instantiated in the system, regardless of whether that superblock is even accessible to that memcg. These huge memcg counts come from container hosts where memcgs are confined to just a small subset of the total number of superblocks that instantiated at any given point in time. For these systems with huge container counts, list_lru does not need the capability of tracking every memcg on every superblock. What it comes down to is that adding the memcg to the list_lru at the first insert. So introduce kmem_cache_alloc_lru to allocate objects and its list_lru. In the later patch, we will convert all inode and dentry allocation from kmem_cache_alloc to kmem_cache_alloc_lru.

memcg: add per-memcg total kernel memory stat

2022-03-22T22:57:02+00:00

Currently memcg stats show several types of kernel memory: kernel stack, page tables, sock, vmalloc, and slab. However, there are other allocations with __GFP_ACCOUNT (or supersets such as GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT) that are not accounted in any of those stats, a few examples are: - various kvm allocations (e.g. allocated pages to create vcpus) - io_uring - tmp_page in pipes during pipe_write() - bpf ringbuffers - unix sockets Keeping track of the total kernel memory is essential for the ease of migration from cgroup v1 to v2 as there are large discrepancies between v1's kmem.usage_in_bytes and the sum of the available kernel memory stats in v2. Adding separate memcg stats for all __GFP_ACCOUNT kernel allocations is an impractical maintenance burden as there a lot of those all over the kernel code, with more use cases likely to show up in the future. Therefore, add a "kernel" memcg stat that is analogous to kmem page counter, with added benefits such as using rstat infrastructure which aggregates stats more efficiently. Additionally, this provides a lighter alternative in case the legacy kmem is deprecated in the future [yosryahmed@google.com: v2] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220203193856.972500-1-yosryahmed@google.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220201200823.3283171-1-yosryahmed@google.com Signed-off-by: Yosry Ahmed Acked-by: Shakeel Butt Acked-by: Johannes Weiner Cc: Michal Hocko Cc: Muchun Song Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
