These patches introduce new locking/refcount support for cgroups to reduce the need for subsystems to call cgroup_lock(). This will ultimately allow the atomicity of cgroup_rmdir() (which was removed recently) to be restored. These three patches give: 1/3 - introduce a per-subsystem hierarchy_mutex which a subsystem can use to prevent changes to its own cgroup tree 2/3 - use hierarchy_mutex in place of calling cgroup_lock() in the memory controller 3/3 - introduce a css_tryget() function similar to the one recently proposed by Kamezawa, but avoiding spurious refcount failures in the event of a race between a css_tryget() and an unsuccessful cgroup_rmdir() Future patches will likely involve: - using hierarchy mutex in place of cgroup_lock() in more subsystems where appropriate - restoring the atomicity of cgroup_rmdir() with respect to cgroup_create() This patch: Add a hierarchy_mutex to the cgroup_subsys object that protects changes to the hierarchy observed by that subsystem. It is taken by the cgroup subsystem (in addition to cgroup_mutex) for the following operations: - linking a cgroup into that subsystem's cgroup tree - unlinking a cgroup from that subsystem's cgroup tree - moving the subsystem to/from a hierarchy (including across the bind() callback) Thus if the subsystem holds its own hierarchy_mutex, it can safely traverse its own hierarchy.

Now, you can see following even when swap accounting is enabled. 1. Create Group 01, and 02. 2. allocate a "file" on tmpfs by a task under 01. 3. swap out the "file" (by memory pressure) 4. Read "file" from a task in group 02. 5. the charge of "file" is moved to group 02. This is not ideal behavior. This is because SwapCache which was loaded by read-ahead is not taken into account.. This is a patch to fix shmem's swapcache behavior. - remove mem_cgroup_cache_charge_swapin(). - Add SwapCache handler routine to mem_cgroup_cache_charge(). By this, shmem's file cache is charged at add_to_page_cache() with GFP_NOWAIT. - pass the page of swapcache to shrink_mem_cgroup. Signed-off-by: -

Now, a page can be deleted from SwapCache while do_swap_page(). memcg-fix-swap-accounting-leak-v3.patch handles that, but, LRU handling is still broken. (above behavior broke assumption of memcg-synchronized-lru patch.) This patch is a fix for LRU handling (especially for per-zone counters). At charging SwapCache, - Remove page_cgroup from LRU if it's not used. - Add page cgroup to LRU if it's not linked to. Reported-by:

From:KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> css_tryget() newly is added and we can know css is alive or not and get refcnt of css in very safe way. ("alive" here means "rmdir/destroy" is not called.) This patch replaces css_get() to css_tryget(), where I cannot explain why css_get() is safe. And removes memcg->obsolete flag. Reviewed-by: -

Fix swapin charge operation of memcg. Now, memcg has hooks to swap-out operation and checks SwapCache is really unused or not. That check depends on contents of struct page. I.e. If PageAnon(page) && page_mapped(page), the page is recoginized as still-in-use. Now, reuse_swap_page() calles delete_from_swap_cache() before establishment of any rmap. Then, in followinig sequence (Page fault with WRITE) try_charge() (charge += PAGESIZE) commit_charge() (Check page_cgroup is used or not..) reuse_swap_page() -> delete_from_swapcache() -> mem_cgroup_uncharge_swapcache() (charge -= PAGESIZE) ...... New charge is uncharged soon.... To avoid this, move commit_charge() after page_mapcount() goes up to 1. By this, try_charge() (usage += PAGESIZE) reuse_swap_page() (may usage -= PAGESIZE if PCG_USED is set) commit_charge() (If page_cgroup is not marked as PCG_USED, add new charge.) Accounting will be correct. Changelog (v2) -> (v3) - fixed invalid charge to swp_entry==0. - updated documentation. Changelog (v1) -> (v2) - fixed comment.

mem_cgroup_hierarchicl_reclaim() works properly even when !use_hierarchy now (by memcg-hierarchy-avoid-unnecessary-reclaim.patch), so, instead of try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages(), it should be used in many cases. The only exception is force_empty. The group has no children in this case. Signed-off-by:

mpol_rebind_mm(), which can be called from cpuset_attach(), does down_write(mm->mmap_sem). This means down_write(mm->mmap_sem) can be called under cgroup_mutex. OTOH, page fault path does down_read(mm->mmap_sem) and calls mem_cgroup_try_charge_xxx(), which may eventually calls mem_cgroup_out_of_memory(). And mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() calls cgroup_lock(). This means cgroup_lock() can be called under down_read(mm->mmap_sem). If those two paths race, deadlock can happen. This patch avoid this deadlock by: - remove cgroup_lock() from mem_cgroup_out_of_memory(). - define new mutex (memcg_tasklist) and serialize mem_cgroup_move_task() (->attach handler of memory cgroup) and mem_cgroup_out_of_memory.

Show "real" limit of memcg. This helps my debugging and maybe useful for users. While testing hierarchy like this mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -t memory mkdir /cgroup/A set use_hierarchy==1 to "A" mkdir /cgroup/A/01 mkdir /cgroup/A/01/02 mkdir /cgroup/A/01/03 mkdir /cgroup/A/01/03/04 mkdir /cgroup/A/08 mkdir /cgroup/A/08/01 .... and set each own limit to them, "real" limit of each memcg is unclear. This patch shows real limit by checking all ancestors. Changelog: (v1) -> (v2) - remove "if" and use "min(a,b)" Acked-by:

Currently, inactive_ratio of memcg is calculated at setting limit. because page_alloc.c does so and current implementation is straightforward porting. However, memcg introduced hierarchy feature recently. In hierarchy restriction, memory limit is not only decided memory.limit_in_bytes of current cgroup, but also parent limit and sibling memory usage. Then, The optimal inactive_ratio is changed frequently. So, everytime calculation is better. Tested-by:

Currently, /proc/sys/vm/swappiness can change swappiness ratio for global reclaim. However, memcg reclaim doesn't have tuning parameter for itself. In general, the optimal swappiness depend on workload. (e.g. hpc workload need to low swappiness than the others.) Then, per cgroup swappiness improve administrator tunability. Signed-off-by:

Currently, mem_cgroup doesn't have own lock and almost its member doesn't need. (e.g. mem_cgroup->info is protected by zone lock, mem_cgroup->stat is per cpu variable) However, there is one explict exception. mem_cgroup->prev_priorit need lock, but doesn't protect. Luckly, this is NOT bug because prev_priority isn't used for current reclaim code. However, we plan to use prev_priority future again. Therefore, fixing is better. In addition, we plan to reuse this lock for another member. Then "reclaim_param_lock" name is better than "prev_priority_lock". Acked-by:

The inactive_anon_is_low() is key component of active/inactive anon balancing on reclaim. However current inactive_anon_is_low() function only consider global reclaim. Therefore, we need following ugly scan_global_lru() condition. if (lru == LRU_ACTIVE_ANON && (!scan_global_lru(sc) || inactive_anon_is_low(zone))) { shrink_active_list(nr_to_scan, zone, sc, priority, file); return 0; it cause that memcg reclaim always deactivate pages when shrink_list() is called.

My patch, memcg-fix-gfp_mask-of-callers-of-charge.patch changed gfp_mask of callers of charge to be GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE for showing what will happen at memory reclaim. But in recent discussion, it's NACKed because it sounds ugly. This patch is for reverting it and add some clean up to gfp_mask of callers of charge. No behavior change but need review before generating HUNK in deep queue. This patch also adds explanation to meaning of gfp_mask passed to charge functions in memcontrol.h. Signed-off-by:

Current mmtom has new oom function as pagefault_out_of_memory(). It's added for select bad process rathar than killing current. When memcg hit limit and calls OOM at page_fault, this handler called and system-wide-oom handling happens. (means kernel panics if panic_on_oom is true....) To avoid overkill, check memcg's recent behavior before starting system-wide-oom. And this patch also fixes to guarantee "don't accnout against process with TIF_MEMDIE". This is necessary for smooth OOM. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix] Signed-off-by:

This patch introduces hierarchical reclaim. When an ancestor goes over its limit, the charging routine points to the parent that is above its limit. The reclaim process then starts from the last scanned child of the ancestor and reclaims until the ancestor goes below its limit.

Add support for building hierarchies in resource counters. Cgroups allows us to build a deep hierarchy, but we currently don't link the resource counters belonging to the memory controller control groups, in the same fashion as the corresponding cgroup entries in the cgroup hierarchy. This patch provides the infrastructure for resource counters that have the same hiearchy as their cgroup counter parts. These set of patches are based on the resource counter hiearchy patches posted by Pavel Emelianov. NOTE: Building hiearchies is expensive, deeper hierarchies imply charging the all the way up to the root. It is known that hiearchies are expensive, so the user needs to be careful and aware of the trade-offs before creating very deep ones. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:
