mm: workingset: fix vmstat counters for shadow nodes

2019-08-13T23:06:52Z

Memcg counters for shadow nodes are broken because the memcg pointer is obtained in a wrong way. The following approach is used: virt_to_page(xa_node)->mem_cgroup Since commit 4d96ba353075 ("mm: memcg/slab: stop setting page->mem_cgroup pointer for slab pages") page->mem_cgroup pointer isn't set for slab pages, so memcg_from_slab_page() should be used instead. Also I doubt that it ever worked correctly: virt_to_head_page() should be used instead of virt_to_page(). Otherwise objects residing on tail pages are not accounted, because only the head page contains a valid mem_cgroup pointer. That was a case since the introduction of these counters by the commit 68d48e6a2df5 ("mm: workingset: add vmstat counter for shadow nodes").

mm, oom: remove redundant task_in_mem_cgroup() check

2019-07-12T18:05:47Z

oom_unkillable_task() can be called from three different contexts i.e. global OOM, memcg OOM and oom_score procfs interface. At the moment oom_unkillable_task() does a task_in_mem_cgroup() check on the given process. Since there is no reason to perform task_in_mem_cgroup() check for global OOM and oom_score procfs interface, those contexts provide NULL memcg and skips the task_in_mem_cgroup() check. However for memcg OOM context, the oom_unkillable_task() is always called from mem_cgroup_scan_tasks() and thus task_in_mem_cgroup() check becomes redundant and effectively dead code. So, just remove the task_in_mem_cgroup() check altogether.

mm: memcg/slab: introduce __memcg_kmem_uncharge_memcg()

2019-07-12T18:05:44Z

Let's separate the page counter modification code out of __memcg_kmem_uncharge() in a way similar to what __memcg_kmem_charge() and __memcg_kmem_charge_memcg() work. This will allow to reuse this code later using a new memcg_kmem_uncharge_memcg() wrapper, which calls __memcg_kmem_uncharge_memcg() if memcg_kmem_enabled() check is passed.

mm, memcg: introduce memory.events.local

2019-07-12T18:05:43Z

The memory controller in cgroup v2 exposes memory.events file for each memcg which shows the number of times events like low, high, max, oom and oom_kill have happened for the whole tree rooted at that memcg. Users can also poll or register notification to monitor the changes in that file. Any event at any level of the tree rooted at memcg will notify all the listeners along the path till root_mem_cgroup. There are existing users which depend on this behavior. However there are users which are only interested in the events happening at a specific level of the memcg tree and not in the events in the underlying tree rooted at that memcg. One such use-case is a centralized resource monitor which can dynamically adjust the limits of the jobs running on a system. The jobs can create their sub-hierarchy for their own sub-tasks. The centralized monitor is only interested in the events at the top level memcgs of the jobs as it can then act and adjust the limits of the jobs. Using the current memory.events for such centralized monitor is very inconvenient. The monitor will keep receiving events which it is not interested and to find if the received event is interesting, it has to read memory.event files of the next level and compare it with the top level one. So, let's introduce memory.events.local to the memcg which shows and notify for the events at the memcg level. Now, does memory.stat and memory.pressure need their local versions. IMHO no due to the no internal process contraint of the cgroup v2. The memory.stat file of the top level memcg of a job shows the stats and vmevents of the whole tree. The local stats or vmevents of the top level memcg will only change if there is a process running in that memcg but v2 does not allow that. Similarly for memory.pressure there will not be any process in the internal nodes and thus no chance of local pressure.

mm: memcontrol: don't batch updates of local VM stats and events

2019-06-14T03:34:56Z

The kernel test robot noticed a 26% will-it-scale pagefault regression from commit 42a300353577 ("mm: memcontrol: fix recursive statistics correctness & scalabilty"). This appears to be caused by bouncing the additional cachelines from the new hierarchical statistics counters. We can fix this by getting rid of the batched local counters instead. Originally, there were *only* group-local counters, and they were fully maintained per cpu. A reader of a stats file high up in the cgroup tree would have to walk the entire subtree and collect each level's per-cpu counters to get the recursive view. This was prohibitively expensive, and so we switched to per-cpu batched updates of the local counters during a983b5ebee57 ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in memory.stat reporting"), reducing the complexity from nr_subgroups * nr_cpus to nr_subgroups. With growing machines and cgroup trees, the tree walk itself became too expensive for monitoring top-level groups, and this is when the culprit patch added hierarchy counters on each cgroup level. When the per-cpu batch size would be reached, both the local and the hierarchy counters would get batch-updated from the per-cpu delta simultaneously. This makes local and hierarchical counter reads blazingly fast, but it unfortunately makes the write-side too cache line intense. Since local counter reads were never a problem - we only centralized them to accelerate the hierarchy walk - and use of the local counters are becoming rarer due to replacement with hierarchical views (ongoing rework in the page reclaim and workingset code), we can make those local counters unbatched per-cpu counters again. The scheme will then be as such: when a memcg statistic changes, the writer will: - update the local counter (per-cpu) - update the batch counter (per-cpu). If the batch is full: - spill the batch into the group's atomic_t - spill the batch into all ancestors' atomic_ts - empty out the batch counter (per-cpu) when a local memcg counter is read, the reader will: - collect the local counter from all cpus when a hiearchy memcg counter is read, the reader will: - read the atomic_t We might be able to simplify this further and make the recursive counters unbatched per-cpu counters as well (batch upward propagation, but leave per-cpu collection to the readers), but that will require a more in-depth analysis and testing of all the callsites. Deal with the immediate regression for now.

mm, memcg: consider subtrees in memory.events

2019-06-01T22:51:31Z

memory.stat and other files already consider subtrees in their output, and we should too in order to not present an inconsistent interface. The current situation is fairly confusing, because people interacting with cgroups expect hierarchical behaviour in the vein of memory.stat, cgroup.events, and other files. For example, this causes confusion when debugging reclaim events under low, as currently these always read "0" at non-leaf memcg nodes, which frequently causes people to misdiagnose breach behaviour. The same confusion applies to other counters in this file when debugging issues. Aggregation is done at write time instead of at read-time since these counters aren't hot (unlike memory.stat which is per-page, so it does it at read time), and it makes sense to bundle this with the file notifications. After this patch, events are propagated up the hierarchy: [root@ktst ~]# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/memory.events low 0 high 0 max 0 oom 0 oom_kill 0 [root@ktst ~]# systemd-run -p MemoryMax=1 true Running as unit: run-r251162a189fb4562b9dabfdc9b0422f5.service [root@ktst ~]# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/memory.events low 0 high 0 max 7 oom 1 oom_kill 1 As this is a change in behaviour, this can be reverted to the old behaviour by mounting with the `memory_localevents' flag set. However, we use the new behaviour by default as there's a lack of evidence that there are any current users of memory.events that would find this change undesirable. akpm: this is a behaviour change, so Cc:stable. THis is so that forthcoming distros which use cgroup v2 are more likely to pick up the revised behaviour.

mm: memcontrol: fix recursive statistics correctness & scalabilty

2019-05-15T02:52:53Z

Right now, when somebody needs to know the recursive memory statistics and events of a cgroup subtree, they need to walk the entire subtree and sum up the counters manually. There are two issues with this: 1. When a cgroup gets deleted, its stats are lost. The state counters should all be 0 at that point, of course, but the events are not. When this happens, the event counters, which are supposed to be monotonic, can go backwards in the parent cgroups. 2. During regular operation, we always have a certain number of lazily freed cgroups sitting around that have been deleted, have no tasks, but have a few cache pages remaining. These groups' statistics do not change until we eventually hit memory pressure, but somebody watching, say, memory.stat on an ancestor has to iterate those every time. This patch addresses both issues by introducing recursive counters at each level that are propagated from the write side when stats change. Upward propagation happens when the per-cpu caches spill over into the local atomic counter. This is the same thing we do during charge and uncharge, except that the latter uses atomic RMWs, which are more expensive; stat changes happen at around the same rate. In a sparse file test (page faults and reclaim at maximum CPU speed) with 5 cgroup nesting levels, perf shows __mod_memcg_page state at ~1%.

mm: memcontrol: move stat/event counting functions out-of-line

2019-05-15T02:52:53Z

These are getting too big to be inlined in every callsite. They were stolen from vmstat.c, which already out-of-lines them, and they have only been growing since. The callsites aren't that hot, either. Move __mod_memcg_state() __mod_lruvec_state() and __count_memcg_events() out of line and add kerneldoc comments.

mm: memcontrol: make cgroup stats and events query API explicitly local

2019-05-15T02:52:53Z

Patch series "mm: memcontrol: memory.stat cost & correctness". The cgroup memory.stat file holds recursive statistics for the entire subtree. The current implementation does this tree walk on-demand whenever the file is read. This is giving us problems in production. 1. The cost of aggregating the statistics on-demand is high. A lot of system service cgroups are mostly idle and their stats don't change between reads, yet we always have to check them. There are also always some lazily-dying cgroups sitting around that are pinned by a handful of remaining page cache; the same applies to them. In an application that periodically monitors memory.stat in our fleet, we have seen the aggregation consume up to 5% CPU time. 2. When cgroups die and disappear from the cgroup tree, so do their accumulated vm events. The result is that the event counters at higher-level cgroups can go backwards and confuse some of our automation, let alone people looking at the graphs over time. To address both issues, this patch series changes the stat implementation to spill counts upwards when the counters change. The upward spilling is batched using the existing per-cpu cache. In a sparse file stress test with 5 level cgroup nesting, the additional cost of the flushing was negligible (a little under 1% of CPU at 100% CPU utilization, compared to the 5% of reading memory.stat during regular operation). This patch (of 4): memcg_page_state(), lruvec_page_state(), memcg_sum_events() are currently returning the state of the local memcg or lruvec, not the recursive state. In practice there is a demand for both versions, although the callers that want the recursive counts currently sum them up by hand. Per default, cgroups are considered recursive entities and generally we expect more users of the recursive counters, with the local counts being special cases. To reflect that in the name, add a _local suffix to the current implementations. The following patch will re-incarnate these functions with recursive semantics, but with an O(1) implementation.
