mm: vmscan: determine anon/file pressure balance at the reclaim root

2020-06-04T03:09:49+00:00

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.

mm: memcontrol: delete unused lrucare handling

2020-06-04T03:09:48+00:00

Swapin faults were the last event to charge pages after they had already been put on the LRU list. Now that we charge directly on swapin, the lrucare portion of the charge code is unused.

mm: memcontrol: prepare swap controller setup for integration

2020-06-04T03:09:48+00:00

A few cleanups to streamline the swap controller setup: - Replace the do_swap_account flag with cgroup_memory_noswap. This brings it in line with other functionality that is usually available unless explicitly opted out of - nosocket, nokmem. - Remove the really_do_swap_account flag that stores the boot option and is later used to switch the do_swap_account. It's not clear why this indirection is/was necessary. Use do_swap_account directly. - Minor coding style polishing Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Reviewed-by: Joonsoo Kim Cc: Alex Shi Cc: Hugh Dickins Cc: "Kirill A.

mm: memcontrol: switch to native NR_ANON_MAPPED counter

2020-06-04T03:09:47+00:00

Memcg maintains a private MEMCG_RSS counter. This divergence from the generic VM accounting means unnecessary code overhead, and creates a dependency for memcg that page->mapping is set up at the time of charging, so that page types can be told apart. Convert the generic accounting sites to mod_lruvec_page_state and friends to maintain the per-cgroup vmstat counter of NR_ANON_MAPPED. We use lock_page_memcg() to stabilize page->mem_cgroup during rmap changes, the same way we do for NR_FILE_MAPPED. With the previous patch removing MEMCG_CACHE and the private NR_SHMEM counter, this patch finally eliminates the need to have page->mapping set up at charge time. However, we need to have page->mem_cgroup set up by the time rmap runs and does the accounting, so switch the commit and the rmap callbacks around. v2: fix temporary accounting bug by switching rmap<->commit (Joonsoo) Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Cc: Alex Shi Cc: Hugh Dickins Cc: Joonsoo Kim Cc: "Kirill A.

Convert the generic accounting sites to mod_lruvec_page_state and friends to maintain the per-cgroup vmstat counters of NR_FILE_PAGES and NR_SHMEM. The page is already locked in these places, so page->mem_cgroup is stable; we only need minimal tweaks of two mem_cgroup_migrate() calls to ensure it's set up in time. Then replace MEMCG_CACHE with NR_FILE_PAGES and delete the private NR_SHMEM accounting sites.

mm: memcontrol: prepare cgroup vmstat infrastructure for native anon counters

2020-06-04T03:09:47+00:00

Anonymous compound pages can be mapped by ptes, which means that if we want to track NR_MAPPED_ANON, NR_ANON_THPS on a per-cgroup basis, we have to be prepared to see tail pages in our accounting functions. Make mod_lruvec_page_state() and lock_page_memcg() deal with tail pages correctly, namely by redirecting to the head page which has the page->mem_cgroup set up.

mm: memcontrol: convert page cache to a new mem_cgroup_charge() API

2020-06-04T03:09:47+00:00

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. v2: leave shmem swapcache when charging fails to avoid double IO (Joonsoo) v3: rebase on preceeding shmem simplification patch Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Reviewed-by: Alex Shi Cc: Hugh Dickins Cc: Joonsoo Kim Cc: "Kirill A.

mm: memcontrol: drop @compound parameter from memcg charging API

2020-06-04T03:09:47+00:00

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.
