KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki noted that free_pages_cgroup doesn't have to check for PageReserved because we never store the array on reserved pages (neither alloc_pages_exact nor vmalloc use those pages). So we can replace the check by a BUG_ON. Signed-off-by:

Currently we are allocating a single page_cgroup array per memory section (stored in mem_section->base) when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is selected. This is correct but memory inefficient solution because the allocated memory (unless we fall back to vmalloc) is not kmalloc friendly: - 32b - 16384 entries (20B per entry) fit into 327680B so the 524288B slab cache is used - 32b with PAE - 131072 entries with 2621440B fit into 4194304B - 64b - 32768 entries (40B per entry) fit into 2097152 cache This is ~37% wasted space per memory section and it sumps up for the whole memory. On a x86_64 machine it is something like 6MB per 1GB of RAM. We can reduce the internal fragmentation by using alloc_pages_exact which allocates PAGE_SIZE aligned blocks so we will get down to <4kB wasted memory per section which is much better. We still need a fallback to vmalloc because we have no guarantees that we will have a continuous memory of that size (order-10) later on during the hotplug events.

The statistic counters are in units of pages, there is no reason to make them 64-bit wide on 32-bit machines. Make them native words. Since they are signed, this leaves 31 bit on 32-bit machines, which can represent roughly 8TB assuming a page size of 4k. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:

For increasing and decreasing per-cpu cgroup usage counters it makes sense to use signed types, as single per-cpu values might go negative during updates. But this is not the case for only-ever-increasing event counters. All the counters have been signed 64-bit so far, which was enough to count events even with the sign bit wasted. This patch: - divides s64 counters into signed usage counters and unsigned monotonically increasing event counters. - converts unsigned event counters into 'unsigned long' rather than 'u64'. This matches the type used by the /proc/vmstat event counters. The next patch narrows the signed usage counters type (on 32-bit CPUs, that is). Signed-off-by:

There is no clear pattern when we pass a page count and when we pass a byte count that is a multiple of PAGE_SIZE. We never charge or uncharge subpage quantities, so convert it all to page counts. Signed-off-by:

We have two charge cancelling functions: one takes a page count, the other a page size. The second one just divides the parameter by PAGE_SIZE and then calls the first one. This is trivial, no need for an extra function. Signed-off-by:

The reclaim_param_lock is only taken around single reads and writes to integer variables and is thus superfluous. Drop it. Signed-off-by:

In struct page_cgroup, we have a full word for flags but only a few are reserved. Use the remaining upper bits to encode, depending on configuration, the node or the section, to enable page_cgroup-to-page lookups without a direct pointer. This saves a full word for every page in a system with memory cgroups enabled. Signed-off-by:

Johannes Weiner authored
The per-cgroup LRU lists string up 'struct page_cgroup's. To get from those structures to the page they represent, a lookup is required. Currently, the lookup is done through a direct pointer in struct page_cgroup, so a lot of functions down the callchain do this lookup by themselves instead of receiving the page pointer from their callers. The next patch removes this pointer, however, and the lookup is no longer that straight-forward. In preparation for that, this patch only leaves the non-optional lookups when coming directly from the LRU list and passes the page down the stack. Signed-off-by:

It is one logical function, no need to have it split up. Also, get rid of some checks from the inner function that ensured the sanity of the outer function. Signed-off-by:

Instead of passing a whole struct page_cgroup to this function, let it take only what it really needs from it: the struct mem_cgroup and the page. This has the advantage that reading pc->mem_cgroup is now done at the same place where the ordering rules for this pointer are enforced and explained. It is also in preparation for removing the pc->page backpointer. Signed-off-by:

This patch series removes the direct page pointer from struct page_cgroup, which saves 20% of per-page memcg memory overhead (Fedora and Ubuntu enable memcg per default, openSUSE apparently too). The node id or section number is encoded in the remaining free bits of pc->flags which allows calculating the corresponding page without the extra pointer. I ran, what I think is, a worst-case microbenchmark that just cats a large sparse file to /dev/null, because it means that walking the LRU list on behalf of per-cgroup reclaim and looking up pages from page_cgroups is happening constantly and at a high rate. But it made no measurable difference. A profile reported a 0.11% share of the new lookup_cgroup_page() function in this benchmark. This patch: All callsites check PCG_USED before passing pc->mem_cgroup, so the latter is never NULL. Signed-off-by:

Add checks at allocating or freeing a page whether the page is used (iow, charged) from the view point of memcg. This check may be useful in debugging a problem and we did similar checks before the commit 52d4b9ac(memcg: allocate all page_cgroup at boot). This patch adds some overheads at allocating or freeing memory, so it's enabled only when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled. Signed-off-by:

Since transparent huge pages, checking whether memory cgroups are below their limits is no longer enough, but the actual amount of chargeable space is important. To not have more than one limit-checking interface, replace memory_cgroup_check_under_limit() and memory_cgroup_check_margin() with a single memory_cgroup_margin() that returns the chargeable space and leaves the comparison to the callsite. Soft limits are now checked the other way round, by using the already existing function that returns the amount by which soft limits are exceeded: res_counter_soft_limit_excess(). Also remove all the corresponding functions on the res_counter side that are now no longer used. Signed-off-by:

Soft limit reclaim continues until the usage is below the current soft limit, but the documented semantics are actually that soft limit reclaim will push usage back until the soft limits are met again. Signed-off-by:

Remove initialization of vaiable in caller of memory cgroup function. Actually, it's return value of memcg function but it's initialized in caller. Some memory cgroup uses following style to bring the result of start function to the end function for avoiding races. mem_cgroup_start_A(&(*ptr)) /* Something very complicated can happen here. */ mem_cgroup_end_A(*ptr) In some calls, *ptr should be initialized to NULL be caller. But it's ugly. This patch fixes that *ptr is initialized by _start function. Signed-off-by:

minix bit operations are only used by minix filesystem and useless by other modules. Because byte order of inode and block bitmaps is different on each architecture like below: m68k: big-endian 16bit indexed bitmaps h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu: big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps m32r, mips, sh, xtensa: big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps for big-endian mode little-endian bitmaps for little-endian mode Others: little-endian bitmaps In order to move minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h to architecture independent code in minix filesystem, this provides two config options. CONFIG_MINIX_FS_BIG_ENDIAN_16BIT_INDEXED is only selected by m68k. CONFIG_MINIX_FS_NATIVE_ENDIAN is selected by the architectures which use native byte order bitmaps (h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu, m32r, mips, sh, xtensa). The architectures which always use little-endian bitmaps do not select these options. Finally, we can remove minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h for all architectures. Signed-off-by:

Introduce little-endian bit operations to the big-endian architectures which do not have native little-endian bit operations and the little-endian architectures. (alpha, avr32, blackfin, cris, frv, h8300, ia64, m32r, mips, mn10300, parisc, sh, sparc, tile, x86, xtensa) These architectures can just include generic implementation (asm-generic/bitops/le.h).
