3cf2384 mm/vmscan.c: avoid possible deadlock caused by too_many_isolated() Neil found that if too_many_isolated() returns true while performing direct reclaim we can end up waiting for other threads to complete their direct reclaim. If those threads are allowed to enter the FS or IO to free memory, but this thread is not, then it is possible that those threads will be waiting on this thread and so we get a circular deadlock. some task enters direct reclaim with GFP_KERNEL => too_many_isolated() false => vmscan and run into dirty pages => pageout() => take some FS lock => fs/block code does GFP_NOIO allocation => enter direct reclaim again => too_many_isolated() true => waiting for others to progress, however the other tasks may be circular waiting for the FS lock.. The fix is to let !__GFP_IO and !__GFP_FS direct reclaims enjoy higher priority than normal ones, by lowering the throttle threshold for the latter. Allowing ~1/8 isolated pages in normal is large enough. For example, for a 1GB LRU list, that's ~128MB isolated pages, or 1k blocked tasks (each isolates 32 4KB pages), or 64 blocked tasks per logical CPU (assuming 16 logical CPUs per NUMA node). So it's not likely some CPU goes idle waiting (when it could make progress) because of this limit: there are much more sleeping reclaim tasks than the number of CPU, so the task may well be blocked by some low level queue/lock anyway. Now !GFP_IOFS reclaims won't be waiting for GFP_IOFS reclaims to progress. They will be blocked only when there are too many concurrent !GFP_IOFS reclaims, however that's very unlikely because the IO-less direct reclaims is able to progress much more faster, and they won't deadlock each other. The threshold is raised high enough for them, so that there can be sufficient parallel progress of !GFP_IOFS reclaims.

5413dfb slub: drop mutex before deleting sysfs entry Sasha Levin recently reported a lockdep problem resulting from the new attribute propagation introduced by kmemcg series. In short, slab_mutex will be called from within the sysfs attribute store function. This will create a dependency, that will later be held backwards when a cache is destroyed - since destruction occurs with the slab_mutex held, and then calls in to the sysfs directory removal function. In this patch, I propose to adopt a strategy close to what __kmem_cache_create does before calling sysfs_slab_add, and release the lock before the call to sysfs_slab_remove. This is pretty much the last operation in the kmem_cache_shutdown() path, so we could do better by splitting this and moving this call alone to later on. This will fit nicely when sysfs handling is consistent between all caches, but will look weird now.

ebe945c memcg: add comments clarifying aspects of cache attribute propagation This patch clarifies two aspects of cache attribute propagation. First, the expected context for the for_each_memcg_cache macro in memcontrol.h. The usages already in the codebase are safe. In mm/slub.c, it is trivially safe because the lock is acquired right before the loop. In mm/slab.c, it is less so: the lock is acquired by an outer function a few steps back in the stack, so a VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure it is indeed safe. A comment is also added to detail why we are returning the value of the parent cache and ignoring the children's when we propagate the attributes.

107dab5 slub: slub-specific propagation changes SLUB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with sysfs-based tunables. When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the parent cache already had. This can be done by tapping into the store attribute function provided by the allocator. We of course don't need to mess with read-only fields. Since the attributes can have multiple types and are stored internally by sysfs, the best strategy is to issue a ->show() in the root cache, and then ->store() in the memcg cache. The drawback of that, is that sysfs can allocate up to a page in buffering for show(), that we are likely not to need, but also can't guarantee. To avoid always allocating a page for that, we can update the caches at store time with the maximum attribute size ever stored to the root cache. We will then get a buffer big enough to hold it. The corolary to this, is that if no stores happened, nothing will be propagated. It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during normal system operation. In this case, we will propagate the change to all caches that are already active.

943a451 slab: propagate tunable values SLAB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with tunables. When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the parent cache already had. This could be done by an explicit call to do_tune_cpucache() after the cache is created. But this is not very convenient now that the caches are created from common code, since this function is SLAB-specific. Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that do_tune_cpucache() is always called from enable_cpucache(), which is called at cache initialization. We can just preset the values, and then things work as expected. It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during normal system operation. In this case, we will propagate the change to all caches that are already active. This change will require us to move the assignment of root_cache in memcg_params a bit earlier.

2293315 memcg/sl[au]b: shrink dead caches This means that when we destroy a memcg cache that happened to be empty, those caches may take a lot of time to go away: removing the memcg reference won't destroy them - because there are pending references, and the empty pages will stay there, until a shrinker is called upon for any reason. In this patch, we will call kmem_cache_shrink() for all dead caches that cannot be destroyed because of remaining pages. After shrinking, it is possible that it could be freed. If this is not the case, we'll schedule a lazy worker to keep trying.

0e9d92f memcg: skip memcg kmem allocations in specified code regions Create a mechanism that skip memcg allocations during certain pieces of our core code. It basically works in the same way as preempt_disable()/preempt_enable(): By marking a region under which all allocations will be accounted to the root memcg. We need this to prevent races in early cache creation, when we allocate data using caches that are not necessarily created already.

d7f25f8 memcg: infrastructure to match an allocation to the right cache The page allocator is able to bind a page to a memcg when it is allocated. But for the caches, we'd like to have as many objects as possible in a page belonging to the same cache. This is done in this patch by calling memcg_kmem_get_cache in the beginning of every allocation function. This function is patched out by static branches when kernel memory controller is not being used. It assumes that the task allocating, which determines the memcg in the page allocator, belongs to the same cgroup throughout the whole process. Misaccounting can happen if the task calls memcg_kmem_get_cache() while belonging to a cgroup, and later on changes. This is considered acceptable, and should only happen upon task migration. Before the cache is created by the memcg core, there is also a possible imbalance: the task belongs to a memcg, but the cache being allocated from is the global cache, since the child cache is not yet guaranteed to be ready. This case is also fine, since in this case the GFP_KMEMCG will not be passed and the page allocator will not attempt any cgroup accounting.

55007d8 memcg: allocate memory for memcg caches whenever a new memcg appears Every cache that is considered a root cache (basically the "original" caches, tied to the root memcg/no-memcg) will have an array that should be large enough to store a cache pointer per each memcg in the system. Theoreticaly, this is as high as 1 << sizeof(css_id), which is currently in the 64k pointers range. Most of the time, we won't be using that much. What goes in this patch, is a simple scheme to dynamically allocate such an array, in order to minimize memory usage for memcg caches. Because we would also like to avoid allocations all the time, at least for now, the array will only grow. It will tend to be big enough to hold the maximum number of kmem-limited memcgs ever achieved. We'll allocate it to be a minimum of 64 kmem-limited memcgs. When we have more than that, we'll start doubling the size of this array every time the limit is reached. Because we are only considering kmem limited memcgs, a natural point for this to happen is when we write to the limit. At that point, we already have set_limit_mutex held, so that will become our natural synchronization mechanism.

2633d7a slab/slub: consider a memcg parameter in kmem_create_cache Allow a memcg parameter to be passed during cache creation. When the slub allocator is being used, it will only merge caches that belong to the same memcg. We'll do this by scanning the global list, and then translating the cache to a memcg-specific cache Default function is created as a wrapper, passing NULL to the memcg version. We only merge caches that belong to the same memcg. A helper is provided, memcg_css_id: because slub needs a unique cache name for sysfs. Since this is visible, but not the canonical location for slab data, the cache name is not used, the css_id should suffice.

6ccfb5b slab: annotate on-slab caches nodelist locks We currently provide lockdep annotation for kmalloc caches, and also caches that have SLAB_DEBUG_OBJECTS enabled. The reason for this is that we can quite frequently nest in the l3->list_lock lock, which is not something trivial to avoid. My proposal with this patch, is to extend this to caches whose slab management object lives within the slab as well ("on_slab"). The need for this arose in the context of testing kmemcg-slab patches. With such patchset, we can have per-memcg kmalloc caches. So the same path that led to nesting between kmalloc caches will could then lead to in-memcg nesting. Because they are not annotated, lockdep will trigger.

2ad306b fork: protect architectures where THREAD_SIZE >= PAGE_SIZE against fork bombs Because those architectures will draw their stacks directly from the page allocator, rather than the slab cache, we can directly pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag, and issue the corresponding free_pages. This code path is taken when the architecture doesn't define CONFIG_ARCH_THREAD_INFO_ALLOCATOR (only ia64 seems to), and has THREAD_SIZE >= PAGE_SIZE. Luckily, most - if not all - of the remaining architectures fall in this category. This will guarantee that every stack page is accounted to the memcg the process currently lives on, and will have the allocations to fail if they go over limit. For the time being, I am defining a new variant of THREADINFO_GFP, not to mess with the other path. Once the slab is also tracked by memcg, we can get rid of that flag.

c8b2a36 memcg: execute the whole memcg freeing in free_worker() A lot of the initialization we do in mem_cgroup_create() is done with softirqs enabled. This include grabbing a css id, which holds &ss->id_lock->rlock, and the per-zone trees, which holds rtpz->lock->rlock. All of those signal to the lockdep mechanism that those locks can be used in SOFTIRQ-ON-W context. This means that the freeing of memcg structure must happen in a compatible context, otherwise we'll get a deadlock, like the one below, caught by lockdep: free_accounted_pages+0x47/0x4c free_task+0x31/0x5c __put_task_struct+0xc2/0xdb put_task_struct+0x1e/0x22 delayed_put_task_struct+0x7a/0x98 __rcu_process_callbacks+0x269/0x3df rcu_process_callbacks+0x31/0x5b __do_softirq+0x122/0x277 This usage pattern could not be triggered before kmem came into play. With the introduction of kmem stack handling, it is possible that we call the last mem_cgroup_put() from the task destructor, which is run in an rcu callback. Such callbacks are run with softirqs disabled, leading to the offensive usage pattern. In general, we have little, if any, means to guarantee in which context the last memcg_put will happen. The best we can do is test it and try to make sure no invalid context releases are happening. But as we add more code to memcg, the possible interactions grow in number and expose more ways to get context conflicts. One thing to keep in mind, is that part of the freeing process is already deferred to a worker, such as vfree(), that can only be called from process context. For the moment, the only two functions we really need moved away are: * free_css_id(), and * mem_cgroup_remove_from_trees(). But because the later accesses per-zone info, free_mem_cgroup_per_zone_info() needs to be moved as well. With that, we are left with the per_cpu stats only. Better move it all.

bea207c memcg: allow a memcg with kmem charges to be destructed Because the ultimate goal of the kmem tracking in memcg is to track slab pages as well, we can't guarantee that we'll always be able to point a page to a particular process, and migrate the charges along with it - since in the common case, a page will contain data belonging to multiple processes.

a8964b9 memcg: use static branches when code not in use We can use static branches to patch the code in or out when not used. Because the _ACTIVE bit on kmem_accounted is only set after the increment is done, we guarantee that the root memcg will always be selected for kmem charges until all call sites are patched (see memcg_kmem_enabled). This guarantees that no mischarges are applied. Static branch decrement happens when the last reference count from the kmem accounting in memcg dies. This will only happen when the charges drop down to 0. When that happens, we need to disable the static branch only on those memcgs that enabled it. To achieve this, we would be forced to complicate the code by keeping track of which memcgs were the ones that actually enabled limits, and which ones got it from its parents. It is a lot simpler just to do static_key_slow_inc() on every child that is accounted.

7de3768 memcg: kmem accounting lifecycle management Because kmem charges can outlive the cgroup, we need to make sure that we won't free the memcg structure while charges are still in flight. For reviewing simplicity, the charge functions will issue mem_cgroup_get() at every charge, and mem_cgroup_put() at every uncharge. This can get expensive, however, and we can do better. mem_cgroup_get() only really needs to be issued once: when the first limit is set. In the same spirit, we only need to issue mem_cgroup_put() when the last charge is gone. We'll need an extra bit in kmem_account_flags for that: KMEM_ACCOUNTED_DEAD. it will be set when the cgroup dies, if there are charges in the group. If there aren't, we can proceed right away. Our uncharge function will have to test that bit every time the charges drop to 0. Because that is not the likely output of res_counter_uncharge, this should not impose a big hit on us: it is certainly much better than a reference count decrease at every operation.

While it is possible to issue a res_counter_read after uncharge, this can be racy. If we need, for instance, to take some action when the counters drop down to 0, only one of the callers should see it. This is the same semantics as the atomic variables in the kernel.

This will happen whenever the caller includes the flag __GFP_KMEMCG flag, and the task belong to a memcg other than the root. In memcontrol.h those functions are wrapped in inline acessors. The idea is to later on, patch those with static branches, so we don't incur any overhead when no mem cgroups with limited kmem are being used. Users of this functionality shall interact with the memcg core code through the following functions: memcg_kmem_newpage_charge: will return true if the group can handle the allocation. At this point, struct page is not yet allocated. memcg_kmem_commit_charge: will either revert the charge, if struct page allocation failed, or embed memcg information into page_cgroup. memcg_kmem_uncharge_page: called at free time, will revert the charge.

To control that, the following files are created: * memory.kmem.usage_in_bytes * memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes * memory.kmem.failcnt * memory.kmem.max_usage_in_bytes They have the same meaning of their user memory counterparts. They reflect the state of the "kmem" res_counter. Per cgroup kmem memory accounting is not enabled until a limit is set for the group. Once the limit is set the accounting cannot be disabled for that group. This means that after the patch is applied, no behavioral changes exists for whoever is still using memcg to control their memory usage, until memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes is set for the first time. We always account to both user and kernel resource_counters. This effectively means that an independent kernel limit is in place when the limit is set to a lower value than the user memory. A equal or higher value means that the user limit will always hit first, meaning that kmem is effectively unlimited. People who want to track kernel memory but not limit it, can set this limit to a very high number (like RESOURCE_MAX - 1page - that no one will ever hit, or equal to the user memory) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: MEMCG_MMEM only works with slab and slub] Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> Acked-by: Kamezawa Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@redhat.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: JoonSoo Kim <js1304@gmail.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 18 December 2012, 23:02:12 UTC

4c9c535 memcg: reclaim when more than one page needed mem_cgroup_do_charge() was written before kmem accounting, and expects three cases: being called for 1 page, being called for a stock of 32 pages, or being called for a hugepage. If we call for 2 or 3 pages (and both the stack and several slabs used in process creation are such, at least with the debug options I had), it assumed it's being called for stock and just retried without reclaiming. Fix that by passing down a minsize argument in addition to the csize. And what to do about that (csize == PAGE_SIZE && ret) retry? If it's needed at all (and presumably is since it's there, perhaps to handle races), then it should be extended to more than PAGE_SIZE, yet how far? And should there be a retry count limit, of what? For now retry up to COSTLY_ORDER (as page_alloc.c does) and make sure not to do it if __GFP_NORETRY. v4: fixed nr pages calculation pointed out by Christoph Lameter.

a0956d5 memcg: make it possible to use the stock for more than one page We currently have a percpu stock cache scheme that charges one page at a time from memcg->res, the user counter. When the kernel memory controller comes into play, we'll need to charge more than that. This is because kernel memory allocations will also draw from the user counter, and can be bigger than a single page, as it is the case with the stack (usually 2 pages) or some higher order slabs.

Under these circumstances, the compound page should be destroyed by destroy_compound_page(). However, there is a duplicate check to judge if the page is compound. Remove the duplicate check since the compound_order() returns 0 when the page doesn't have PG_head set in destroy_compound_page(). That is to say, destroy_compound_page() needn't check PageHead().

d95bfe4 h8300: select generic atomic64_t support Rationales from Eric: So I just looked a little deeper and it appears architectures that do not support atomic64_t are broken. The generic atomic64 support came in 2009 to support the perf subsystem with the expectation that all architectures would implement atomic64 support. Furthermore upon inspection of the kernel atomic64_t is used in a fair number of places beyond the performance counters: block/blk-cgroup.c drivers/acpi/apei/ drivers/block/rbd.c drivers/crypto/nx/nx.h drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.h drivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/ drivers/infiniband/hw/qib/ drivers/staging/octeon/ fs/xfs/ include/linux/perf_event.h include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_acct.h kernel/events/ kernel/trace/ net/mac80211/key.h net/rds/ The block control group, infiniband, xfs, crypto, 802.11, netfilter. Nothing quite so fundamental as fs/namespace.c but definitely in multiplatform-code that should work, and is already broken on those architecutres. Looking at the implementation of atomic64_add_return in lib/atomic64.c the code looks as efficient as these kinds of things get. Which leads me to the conclusion that we need atomic64 support on all architectures. Signed-off-by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: "Eric W.

Plus I don't think they would have worked at all, since the data values were missing "&" and the outsl had a "3" instead of a "4" for the size.

The important patch is the one to osd_uld which adds sysfs info to osd devices for use by user-mode clustering discovery software. I'm already sitting on this patch since before February this year, It is important for some of the big installation cluster systems, who's been compiling their own kernel just for that patch." Ugh.

In terms of line count, most of the code comes from Stefan, who added the ability to replace a single drive in place. This is different from how btrfs normally replaces drives, and is much much much faster. Josef is plowing through our synchronous write performance. This pull request does not include the DIO_OWN_WAITING patch that was discussed on the list, but it has a number of other improvements to cut down our latencies and CPU time during fsync/O_DIRECT writes. Miao Xie has a big series of fixes and is spreading out ordered operations over more CPUs. This improves performance and reduces contention. I've put in fixes for error handling around hash collisions. These are going back to individual stable kernels as I test against them. Otherwise we have a lot of fixes and cleanups, thanks everyone! raid5/6 is being rebased against the device replacement code.
