net: Allow opt-out from global protocol memory accounting.

2025-10-16T19:04:47+00:00

Some protocols (e.g., TCP, UDP) implement memory accounting for socket buffers and charge memory to per-protocol global counters pointed to by sk->sk_proto->memory_allocated. Sometimes, system processes do not want that limitation. For a similar purpose, there is SO_RESERVE_MEM for sockets under memcg. Also, by opting out of the per-protocol accounting, sockets under memcg can avoid paying costs for two orthogonal memory accounting mechanisms. A microbenchmark result is in the subsequent bpf patch. Let's allow opt-out from the per-protocol memory accounting if sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem is true. sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem and sk->sk_prot are placed in the same cache line, and sk_has_account() always fetches sk->sk_prot before accessing sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem, so there is no extra cache miss for this patch. The following patches will set sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem to true, and then, the per-protocol memory accounting will be skipped. Note that this does NOT disable memcg, but rather the per-protocol one. Another option not to use the hole in struct sock_common is create sk_prot variants like tcp_prot_bypass, but this would complicate SOCKMAP logic, tcp_bpf_prots etc. Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau Reviewed-by: Shakeel Butt Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Roman Gushchin Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251014235604.3057003-3-kuniyu@google.com

net-memcg: Pass struct sock to mem_cgroup_sk_under_memory_pressure().

2025-08-20T02:20:59+00:00

We will store a flag in the lowest bit of sk->sk_memcg. Then, we cannot pass the raw pointer to mem_cgroup_under_socket_pressure(). Let's pass struct sock to it and rename the function to match other functions starting with mem_cgroup_sk_. Note that the helper is moved to sock.h to use mem_cgroup_from_sk().

net-memcg: Introduce mem_cgroup_sk_enabled().

2025-08-20T02:20:59+00:00

The socket memcg feature is enabled by a static key and only works for non-root cgroup. We check both conditions in many places. Let's factorise it as a helper function.
