Revert "net: set proper memcg for net_init hooks allocations"

2022-09-28T16:20:37+00:00

This reverts commit 1d0403d20f6c281cb3d14c5f1db5317caeec48e9. Anatoly Pugachev reported that the commit 1d0403d20f6c ("net: set proper memcg for net_init hooks allocations") is somehow causing the sparc64 VMs failed to boot and the VMs boot fine with that patch reverted. So, revert the patch for now and later we can debug the issue.

Revert "memcg: cleanup racy sum avoidance code"

2022-08-28T21:02:44+00:00

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.

mm: memcontrol: introduce mem_cgroup_ino() and mem_cgroup_get_from_ino()

2022-07-04T01:08:40+00:00

Patch series "mm: introduce shrinker debugfs interface", v5. The only existing debugging mechanism is a couple of tracepoints in do_shrink_slab(): mm_shrink_slab_start and mm_shrink_slab_end. They aren't covering everything though: shrinkers which report 0 objects will never show up, there is no support for memcg-aware shrinkers. Shrinkers are identified by their scan function, which is not always enough (e.g. hard to guess which super block's shrinker it is having only "super_cache_scan"). To provide a better visibility and debug options for memory shrinkers this patchset introduces a /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker interface, to some extent similar to /sys/kernel/slab. For each shrinker registered in the system a directory is created. As now, the directory will contain only a "scan" file, which allows to get the number of managed objects for each memory cgroup (for memcg-aware shrinkers) and each numa node (for numa-aware shrinkers on a numa machine). Other interfaces might be added in the future. To make debugging more pleasant, the patchset also names all shrinkers, so that debugfs entries can have meaningful names. This patch (of 5): Shrinker debugfs requires a way to represent memory cgroups without using full paths, both for displaying information and getting input from a user. Cgroup inode number is a perfect way, already used by bpf. This commit adds a couple of helper functions which will be used to handle memcg-aware shrinkers.

net: set proper memcg for net_init hooks allocations

2022-06-17T02:48:31+00:00

__register_pernet_operations() executes init hook of registered pernet_operation structure in all existing net namespaces. Typically, these hooks are called by a process associated with the specified net namespace, and all __GFP_ACCOUNT marked allocation are accounted for corresponding container/memcg. However __register_pernet_operations() calls the hooks in the same context, and as a result all marked allocations are accounted to one memcg for all processed net namespaces. This patch adjusts active memcg for each net namespace and helps to account memory allocated inside ops_init() into the proper memcg.

mm: kmem: make mem_cgroup_from_obj() vmalloc()-safe

2022-06-17T02:48:31+00:00

Currently mem_cgroup_from_obj() is not working properly with objects allocated using vmalloc(). It creates problems in some cases, when it's called for static objects belonging to modules or generally allocated using vmalloc(). This patch makes mem_cgroup_from_obj() safe to be called on objects allocated using vmalloc(). It also introduces mem_cgroup_from_slab_obj(), which is a faster version to use in places when we know the object is either a slab object or a generic slab page (e.g. when adding an object to a lru list).

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.
