memcg: simplify LRU handling by new rule

2012-01-13T04:13:07Z

Now, at LRU handling, memory cgroup needs to do complicated works to see valid pc->mem_cgroup, which may be overwritten. This patch is for relaxing the protocol. This patch guarantees - when pc->mem_cgroup is overwritten, page must not be on LRU. By this, LRU routine can believe pc->mem_cgroup and don't need to check bits on pc->flags. This new rule may adds small overheads to swapin. But in most case, lru handling gets faster. After this patch, PCG_ACCT_LRU bit is obsolete and removed.

page_cgroup: add helper function to get swap_cgroup

2012-01-13T04:13:07Z

There are multiple places which need to get the swap_cgroup address, so add a helper function: static struct swap_cgroup *swap_cgroup_getsc(swp_entry_t ent, struct swap_cgroup_ctrl **ctrl); to simplify the code.

mm: memcg: remove unused node/section info from pc->flags

2012-01-13T04:13:05Z

To find the page corresponding to a certain page_cgroup, the pc->flags encoded the node or section ID with the base array to compare the pc pointer to. Now that the per-memory cgroup LRU lists link page descriptors directly, there is no longer any code that knows the struct page_cgroup of a PFN but not the struct page.

mm: make per-memcg LRU lists exclusive

2012-01-13T04:13:05Z

Now that all code that operated on global per-zone LRU lists is converted to operate on per-memory cgroup LRU lists instead, there is no reason to keep the double-LRU scheme around any longer. The pc->lru member is removed and page->lru is linked directly to the per-memory cgroup LRU lists, which removes two pointers from a descriptor that exists for every page frame in the system.

memcg: remove direct page_cgroup-to-page pointer

2011-03-24T02:46:28Z

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.

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.

memcg: change page_cgroup_zoneinfo signature

2011-03-24T02:46:26Z

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.

Revert update for dirty_ratio for memcg.

2011-01-14T15:52:02Z

The flags added by commit db16d5ec1f87f17511599bc77857dd1662b5a22f has no user now. We believe we'll use it soon but considering patch reviewing, the change itself should be folded into incoming set of "dirty ratio for memcg" patches. So, it's better to drop this change from current mainline tree. Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Reviewed-by: Greg Thelen Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

memcg: add lock to synchronize page accounting and migration

2011-01-14T01:32:50Z

Introduce a new bit spin lock, PCG_MOVE_LOCK, to synchronize the page accounting and migration code. This reworks the locking scheme of _update_stat() and _move_account() by adding new lock bit PCG_MOVE_LOCK, which is always taken under IRQ disable. 1. If pages are being migrated from a memcg, then updates to that memcg page statistics are protected by grabbing PCG_MOVE_LOCK using move_lock_page_cgroup(). In an upcoming commit, memcg dirty page accounting will be updating memcg page accounting (specifically: num writeback pages) from IRQ context (softirq). Avoid a deadlocking nested spin lock attempt by disabling irq on the local processor when grabbing the PCG_MOVE_LOCK. 2. lock for update_page_stat is used only for avoiding race with move_account(). So, IRQ awareness of lock_page_cgroup() itself is not a problem. The problem is between mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() and mem_cgroup_move_account_page(). Trade-off: * Changing lock_page_cgroup() to always disable IRQ (or local_bh) has some impacts on performance and I think it's bad to disable IRQ when it's not necessary. * adding a new lock makes move_account() slower. Score is here. Performance Impact: moving a 8G anon process.
