mm, memcg: remove unused functions

2021-09-03T16:58:13+00:00

Since commit 2d146aa3aa84 ("mm: memcontrol: switch to rstat"), last user of memcg_stat_item_in_bytes() is gone. And since commit fa40d1ee9f15 ("mm: vmscan: memcontrol: remove mem_cgroup_select_victim_node()"), only the declaration of mem_cgroup_select_victim_node() is remained here. Remove them.

memcg: cleanup racy sum avoidance code

2021-09-03T16:58:13+00:00

We used to have per-cpu memcg and lruvec stats and the readers have to traverse and sum the stats from each cpu. This summing was racy and may expose transient negative values. So, an explicit check was added to avoid such scenarios. Now these stats are moved to rstat infrastructure and are no more per-cpu, so we can remove the fixup for transient negative values.

memcg: infrastructure to flush memcg stats

2021-09-03T16:58:12+00:00

At the moment memcg stats are read in four contexts: 1. memcg stat user interfaces 2. dirty throttling 3. page fault 4. memory reclaim Currently the kernel flushes the stats for first two cases. Flushing the stats for remaining two casese may have performance impact. Always flushing the memcg stats on the page fault code path may negatively impacts the performance of the applications. In addition flushing in the memory reclaim code path, though treated as slowpath, can become the source of contention for the global lock taken for stat flushing because when system or memcg is under memory pressure, many tasks may enter the reclaim path. This patch uses following mechanisms to solve these challenges: 1. Periodically flush the stats from root memcg every 2 seconds. This will time limit the out of sync stats. 2. Asynchronously flush the stats after fixed number of stat updates. In the worst case the stat can be out of sync by O(nr_cpus * BATCH) for 2 seconds. 3. For avoiding thundering herd to flush the stats particularly from the memory reclaim context, introduce memcg local spinlock and let only one flusher active at a time. This could have been done through cgroup_rstat_lock lock but that lock is used by other subsystem and for userspace reading memcg stats. So, it is better to keep flushers introduced by this patch decoupled from cgroup_rstat_lock. However we would have to use irqsafe version of rstat flush but that is fine as this code path will be flushing for whole tree and do the work for everyone. No one will be waiting for that worker.

memcg: switch lruvec stats to rstat

2021-09-03T16:58:12+00:00

The commit 2d146aa3aa84 ("mm: memcontrol: switch to rstat") switched memcg stats to rstat infrastructure but skipped the conversion of the lruvec stats as such stats are read in the performance critical code paths and flushing stats may have impacted the performances of the applications. This patch converts the lruvec stats to rstat and later patches add mechanisms to keep the performance impact to minimum. The rstat conversion comes with the price i.e. memory cost. Effectively this patch reverts the savings done by the commit f3344adf38bd ("mm: memcontrol: optimize per-lruvec stats counter memory usage"). However this cost is justified due to negative impact of the inaccurate lruvec stats on many heuristics. One such case is reported in [1]. The memory reclaim code is filled with plethora of heuristics and many of those heuristics reads the lruvec stats. So, inaccurate stats can make such heuristics ineffective. [1] reports the impact of inaccurate lruvec stats on the "cache trim mode" heuristic. Inaccurate lruvec stats can impact the deactivation and aging anon heuristics as well.

mm, memcg: inline mem_cgroup_{charge/uncharge} to improve disabled memcg config

2021-09-03T16:58:12+00:00

Inline mem_cgroup_{charge/uncharge} and mem_cgroup_uncharge_list functions functions to perform mem_cgroup_disabled static key check inline before calling the main body of the function. This minimizes the memcg overhead in the pagefault and exit_mmap paths when memcgs are disabled using cgroup_disable=memory command-line option. This change results in ~0.4% overhead reduction when running PFT test [1] comparing {CONFIG_MEMCG=n} against {CONFIG_MEMCG=y, cgroup_disable=memory} configuration on an 8-core ARM64 Android device.

writeback: memcg: simplify cgroup_writeback_by_id

2021-09-03T16:58:10+00:00

Currently cgroup_writeback_by_id calls mem_cgroup_wb_stats() to get dirty pages for a memcg. However mem_cgroup_wb_stats() does a lot more than just get the number of dirty pages. Just directly get the number of dirty pages instead of calling mem_cgroup_wb_stats(). Also cgroup_writeback_by_id() is only called for best-effort dirty flushing, so remove the unused 'nr' parameter and no need to explicitly flush memcg stats.

mm: memcontrol: fix occasional OOMs due to proportional memory.low reclaim

2021-08-20T18:31:42+00:00

We've noticed occasional OOM killing when memory.low settings are in effect for cgroups. This is unexpected and undesirable as memory.low is supposed to express non-OOMing memory priorities between cgroups. The reason for this is proportional memory.low reclaim. When cgroups are below their memory.low threshold, reclaim passes them over in the first round, and then retries if it couldn't find pages anywhere else. But when cgroups are slightly above their memory.low setting, page scan force is scaled down and diminished in proportion to the overage, to the point where it can cause reclaim to fail as well - only in that case we currently don't retry, and instead trigger OOM. To fix this, hook proportional reclaim into the same retry logic we have in place for when cgroups are skipped entirely. This way if reclaim fails and some cgroups were scanned with diminished pressure, we'll try another full-force cycle before giving up and OOMing.

net-memcg: pass in gfp_t mask to mem_cgroup_charge_skmem()

2021-08-18T10:39:44+00:00

Add gfp_t mask as an input parameter to mem_cgroup_charge_skmem(), to give more control to the networking stack and enable it to change memcg charging behavior. In the future, the networking stack may decide to avoid oom-kills when fallbacks are more appropriate. One behavior change in mem_cgroup_charge_skmem() by this patch is to avoid force charging by default and let the caller decide when and if force charging is needed through the presence or absence of __GFP_NOFAIL.
