mm: workingset: make shadow node shrinker memcg aware

2016-03-17T22:09:34+00:00

Workingset code was recently made memcg aware, but shadow node shrinker
is still global.  As a result, one small cgroup can consume all memory
available for shadow nodes, possibly hurting other cgroups by reclaiming
their shadow nodes, even though reclaim distances stored in its shadow
nodes have no effect.  To avoid this, we need to make shadow node
shrinker memcg aware.

mm: memcontrol: zap memcg_kmem_online helper

2016-03-17T22:09:34+00:00

As kmem accounting is now either enabled for all cgroups or disabled
system-wide, there's no point in having memcg_kmem_online() helper -
instead one can use memcg_kmem_enabled() and mem_cgroup_online(), as
shrink_slab() now does.

There are only two places left where this helper is used -
__memcg_kmem_charge() and memcg_create_kmem_cache().  The former can
only be called if memcg_kmem_enabled() returned true.  Since the cgroup
it operates on is online, mem_cgroup_is_root() check will be enough.

memcg_create_kmem_cache() can't use mem_cgroup_online() helper instead
of memcg_kmem_online(), because it relies on the fact that in
memcg_offline_kmem() memcg->kmem_state is changed before
memcg_deactivate_kmem_caches() is called, but there we can just
open-code the check.

mm: remove unnecessary uses of lock_page_memcg()

2016-03-15T23:55:16+00:00

There are several users that nest lock_page_memcg() inside lock_page()
to prevent page->mem_cgroup from changing.  But the page lock prevents
pages from moving between cgroups, so that is unnecessary overhead.

Remove lock_page_memcg() in contexts with locked contexts and fix the
debug code in the page stat functions to be okay with the page lock.

mm: simplify lock_page_memcg()

2016-03-15T23:55:16+00:00

Now that migration doesn't clear page->mem_cgroup of live pages anymore,
it's safe to make lock_page_memcg() and the memcg stat functions take
pages, and spare the callers from memcg objects.

mm: migrate: do not touch page->mem_cgroup of live pages

2016-03-15T23:55:16+00:00

Changing a page's memcg association complicates dealing with the page,
so we want to limit this as much as possible.  Page migration e.g.  does
not have to do that.  Just like page cache replacement, it can forcibly
charge a replacement page, and then uncharge the old page when it gets
freed.  Temporarily overcharging the cgroup by a single page is not an
issue in practice, and charging is so cheap nowadays that this is much
preferrable to the headache of messing with live pages.

The only place that still changes the page->mem_cgroup binding of live
pages is when pages move along with a task to another cgroup.  But that
path isolates the page from the LRU, takes the page lock, and the move
lock (lock_page_memcg()).  That means page->mem_cgroup is always stable
in callers that have the page isolated from the LRU or locked.  Lighter
unlocked paths, like writeback accounting, can use lock_page_memcg().

mm: workingset: per-cgroup cache thrash detection

2016-03-15T23:55:16+00:00

Cache thrash detection (see a528910e12ec "mm: thrash detection-based
file cache sizing" for details) currently only works on the system
level, not inside cgroups.  Worse, as the refaults are compared to the
global number of active cache, cgroups might wrongfully get all their
refaults activated when their pages are hotter than those of others.

Move the refault machinery from the zone to the lruvec, and then tag
eviction entries with the memcg ID.  This makes the thrash detection
work correctly inside cgroups.

mm: memcontrol: generalize locking for the page->mem_cgroup binding

2016-03-15T23:55:16+00:00

These patches tag the page cache radix tree eviction entries with the
memcg an evicted page belonged to, thus making per-cgroup LRU reclaim
work properly and be as adaptive to new cache workingsets as global
reclaim already is.

This should have been part of the original thrash detection patch
series, but was deferred due to the complexity of those patches.

This patch (of 5):

So far the only sites that needed to exclude charge migration to
stabilize page->mem_cgroup have been per-cgroup page statistics, hence
the name mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat().  But per-cgroup thrash detection
will add another site that needs to ensure page->mem_cgroup lifetime.

Rename these locking functions to the more generic lock_page_memcg() and
unlock_page_memcg().  Since charge migration is a cgroup1 feature only,
we might be able to delete it at some point, and these now easy to
identify locking sites along with it.
