Thomas and Vlastimil have noticed that the comment in drain_local_stock doesn't quite make sense. It talks about a synchronization with the memory hotplug but there is no actual memory hotplug involvement here. I meant to talk about cpu hotplug here. Fix that up and hopefuly make the comment more helpful by referencing the cpu hotplug callback as well. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/YRDwOhVglJmY7ES5@dhcp22.suse.czSigned-off-by:

set_active_memcg() uses in_interrupt() check to select proper storage for cgroup: pointer on task struct or per-cpu pointer. It isn't fully correct: obsoleted in_interrupt() includes tasks with disabled BH. It's better to use '!in_task()' instead.

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.

Each task can request own LDT and force the kernel to allocate up to 64Kb memory per-mm. There are legitimate workloads with hundreds of processes and there can be hundreds of workloads running on large machines. The unaccounted memory can cause isolation issues between the workloads particularly on highly utilized machines.

A program may create multiple interval timers using timer_create(). For each timer the kernel preallocates a "queued real-time signal", Consequently, the number of timers is limited by the RLIMIT_SIGPENDING resource limit. The allocated object is quite small, ~250 bytes, but even the default signal limits allow to consume up to 100 megabytes per user. It makes sense to account for them to limit the host's memory consumption from inside the memcg-limited container.

Patch series "memcg accounting from OpenVZ", v7. OpenVZ uses memory accounting 20+ years since v2.2.x linux kernels. Initially we used our own accounting subsystem, then partially committed it to upstream, and a few years ago switched to cgroups v1. Now we're rebasing again, revising our old patches and trying to push them upstream. We try to protect the host system from any misuse of kernel memory allocation triggered by untrusted users inside the containers. Patch-set is addressed mostly to cgroups maintainers and cgroups@ mailing list, though I would be very grateful for any comments from maintainersi of affected subsystems or other people added in cc: Compared to the upstream, we additionally account the following kernel objects: - network devices and its Tx/Rx queues - ipv4/v6 addresses and routing-related objects - inet_bind_bucket cache objects - VLAN group arrays - ipv6/sit: ip_tunnel_prl - scm_fp_list objects used by SCM_RIGHTS messages of Unix sockets - nsproxy and namespace objects itself - IPC objects: semaphores, message queues and share memory segments - mounts - pollfd and select bits arrays - signals and posix timers - file lock - fasync_struct used by the file lease code and driver's fasync queues - tty objects - per-mm LDT We have an incorrect/incomplete/obsoleted accounting for few other kernel objects: sk_filter, af_packets, netlink and xt_counters for iptables. They require rework and probably will be dropped at all. Also we're going to add an accounting for nft, however it is not ready yet. We have not tested performance on upstream, however, our performance team compares our current RHEL7-based production kernel and reports that they are at least not worse as the according original RHEL7 kernel. This patch (of 10): The kernel allocates ~400 bytes of 'struct mount' for any new mount. Creating a new mount namespace clones most of the parent mounts, and this can be repeated many times. Additionally, each mount allocates up to PATH_MAX=4096 bytes for mnt->mnt_devname. It makes sense to account for these allocations to restrict the host's memory consumption from inside the memcg-limited container.

This patch adds accounting flags to fs_context and legacy_fs_context allocation sites so that kernel could correctly charge these objects. We have written a PoC to demonstrate the effect of the missing-charging bugs. The PoC takes around 1,200MB unaccounted memory, while it is charged for only 362MB memory usage. We evaluate the PoC on QEMU x86_64 v5.2.90 + Linux kernel v5.10.19 + Debian buster. All the limitations including ulimits and sysctl variables are set as default.

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.

The commit 2d146aa3 ("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 f3344adf ("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.

Commit 5d097056 ("kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcg") enabled memcg accounting for pids allocated from init_pid_ns.pid_cachep, but forgot to adjust the setting for nested pid namespaces. As a result, pid memory is not accounted exactly where it is really needed, inside memcg-limited containers with their own pid namespaces. Pid was one the first kernel objects enabled for memcg accounting. init_pid_ns.pid_cachep marked by SLAB_ACCOUNT and we can expect that any new pids in the system are memcg-accounted. Though recently I've noticed that it is wrong. nested pid namespaces creates own slab caches for pid objects, nested pids have increased size because contain id both for all parent and for own pid namespaces. The problem is that these slab caches are _NOT_ marked by SLAB_ACCOUNT, as a result any pids allocated in nested pid namespaces are not memcg-accounted. Pid struct in nested pid namespace consumes up to 500 bytes memory, 100000 such objects gives us up to ~50Mb unaccounted memory, this allow container to exceed assigned memcg limits.

drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_shmem.c contains a shmem_writeback() which calls shmem_writepage() from a shrinker: that usually works well enough; but if /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled has been set to "always" (intended to be usable) or "force" (forces huge everywhere for easy testing), shmem_writepage() is surprised to be called with a huge page, and crashes on the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageCompound) (I did not find out where the crash happens when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is off). LRU page reclaim always splits the shmem huge page first: I'd prefer not to demand that of i915, so check and split compound in shmem_writepage().

This version brackets the split with Set and Clear PageDirty as he suggested: which works very well, even if it falls short of our aspirations. And recently I realized that the crash is not limited to the testing option "force", but affects "always" too: which is more important to fix.

Extend shmem_huge_enabled(vma) to shmem_is_huge(vma, inode, index), so that a consistent set of checks can be applied, even when the inode is accessed through read/write syscalls (with NULL vma) instead of mmaps (the index argument is seldom of interest, but required by mount option "huge=within_size"). Clean up and rearrange the checks a little. This then replaces the checks which shmem_fault() and shmem_getpage_gfp() were making, and eliminates the SGP_HUGE and SGP_NOHUGE modes. Replace a couple of 0s by explicit SHMEM_HUGE_NEVERs; and replace the obscure !shmem_mapping() symlink check by explicit S_ISLNK() - nothing else needs that symlink check, so leave it there in shmem_getpage_gfp().

khugepaged's collapse_file() currently uses SGP_NOHUGE to tell shmem_getpage() not to try allocating a huge page, in the very unlikely event that a racing hole-punch removes the swapped or fallocated page as soon as i_pages lock is dropped. We want to consolidate shmem's huge decisions, removing SGP_HUGE and SGP_NOHUGE; but cannot quite persuade ourselves that it's okay to regress the protection in this case - Yang Shi points out that the huge page would remain indefinitely, charged to root instead of the intended memcg. collapse_file() should not even allocate a small page in this case: why proceed if someone is punching a hole? SGP_READ is almost the right flag here, except that it optimizes away from a fallocated page, with NULL to tell caller to fill with zeroes (like a hole); whereas collapse_file()'s sequence relies on using a cache page. Add SGP_NOALLOC just for this. There are too many consecutive "if (page"s there in shmem_getpage_gfp(): group it better; and fix the outdated "bring it back from swap" comment.

There's a block of code in shmem_setattr() to add the inode to shmem_unused_huge_shrink()'s shrinklist when lowering i_size: it dates from before 5.7 changed truncation to do split_huge_page() for itself, and should have been removed at that time. I am over-stating that: split_huge_page() can fail (notably if there's an extra reference to the page at that time), so there might be value in retrying. But there were already retries as truncation worked through the tails, and this addition risks repeating unsuccessful retries indefinitely: I'd rather remove it now, and work on reducing the chance of split_huge_page() failures separately, if we need to.

A successful shmem_fallocate() guarantees that the extent has been reserved, even beyond i_size when the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE flag was used. But that guarantee is broken by shmem_unused_huge_shrink()'s attempts to split huge pages and free their excess beyond i_size; and by other uses of split_huge_page() near i_size. It's sad to add a shmem inode field just for this, but I did not find a better way to keep the guarantee. A flag to say KEEP_SIZE has been used would be cheaper, but I'm averse to unclearable flags. The fallocend field is not perfect either (many disjoint ranges might be fallocated), but good enough; and gains another use later on.

Patch series "huge tmpfs: shmem_is_huge() fixes and cleanups". A series of huge tmpfs fixes and cleanups. This patch (of 9): shmem_fallocate() goes to a lot of trouble to leave its newly allocated pages !Uptodate, partly to identify and undo them on failure, partly to leave the overhead of clearing them until later. But the huge page case did not skip to the end of the extent, walked through the tail pages one by one, and appeared to work just fine: but in doing so, cleared and Uptodated the huge page, so there was no way to undo it on failure. And by setting Uptodate too soon, it messed up both its nr_falloced and nr_unswapped counts, so that the intended "time to give up" heuristic did not work at all. Now advance immediately to the end of the huge extent, with a comment on why this is more than just an optimization. But although this speeds up huge tmpfs fallocation, it does leave the clearing until first use, and some users may have come to appreciate slow fallocate but fast first use: if they complain, then we can consider adding a pass to clear at the end.

It's bad to extern swap_info[] in .c. Include corresponding header file instead. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210812120350.49801-5-linmiaohe@huawei.comSigned-off-by:

mfill_atomic_install_pte() is introduced to install pte and update mmu cache since commit bf6ebd97aba0 ("userfaultfd/shmem: modify shmem_mfill_atomic_pte to use install_pte()"). So we should remove tlbflush.h as update_mmu_cache() is not called here now. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210812120350.49801-3-linmiaohe@huawei.comSigned-off-by: -

Patch series "Cleanups for shmem". This series contains cleanups to remove unneeded variable, header file, function forward declaration and so on. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 4): The local variable ret is always equal to -ENOMEM and never touched. So remove it and return -ENOMEM directly to simplify the code.

Each CPU has SHMEM_INO_BATCH inodes available in `->ino_batch' which is per-CPU. Access here is serialized by disabling preemption. If the pool is empty, it gets reloaded from `->next_ino'. Access here is serialized by ->stat_lock which is a spinlock_t and can not be acquired with disabled preemption. One way around it would make per-CPU ino_batch struct containing the inode number a local_lock_t. Another solution is to promote ->stat_lock to a raw_spinlock_t. The critical sections are short. The mpol_put() must be moved outside of the critical section to avoid invoking the destructor with disabled preemption.

get_kernel_page() was added in 2012 by [1]. It was used for a while for NFS, but then in 2014, a refactoring [2] removed all callers, and it has apparently not been used since. Remove get_kernel_page() because it has no callers. [1] commit 18022c5d ("mm: add get_kernel_page[s] for pinning of kernel addresses for I/O") [2] commit 91f79c43 ("new helper: iov_iter_get_pages_alloc()") Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210729221847.1165665-1-jhubbard@nvidia.comSigned-off-by:

We had a recurring situation in which admin procedures setting up swapfiles would race with test preparation clearing away swapfiles; and just occasionally that got stuck on a swapfile "(deleted)" which could never be swapped off. That is not supposed to be possible. 2.6.28 commit f9454548 ("don't unlink an active swapfile") admitted that it was leaving a race window open: now close it. may_delete() makes the IS_SWAPFILE check (amongst many others) before inode_lock has been taken on target: now repeat just that simple check in vfs_unlink() and vfs_rename(), after taking inode_lock. Which goes most of the way to fixing the race, but swapon() must also check after it acquires inode_lock, that the file just opened has not already been unlinked.

try_get_page() is very similar to try_get_compound_head(), and in fact try_get_page() has fallen a little behind in terms of maintenance: try_get_compound_head() handles speculative page references more thoroughly. There are only two try_get_page() callsites, so just call try_get_compound_head() directly from those, and remove try_get_page() entirely. Also, seeing as how this changes try_get_compound_head() into a non-static function, provide some kerneldoc documentation for it.

try_grab_page() does the same thing as try_grab_compound_head(..., refs=1, ...), just with a different API. So there is a lot of code duplication there. Change try_grab_page() to call try_grab_compound_head(), while keeping the API contract identical for callers. Also, now that try_grab_compound_head() always has a caller, remove the __maybe_unused annotation. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210813044133.1536842-3-jhubbard@nvidia.comSigned-off-by:
