3e2f41f1f6 memcg: add zone_reclaim_stat
Introduce mem_cgroup_per_zone::reclaim_stat member and its statics
collecting function.

Now, get_scan_ratio() can calculate correct value on memcg reclaim.

14797e2363 memcg: add inactive_anon_is_low()
The inactive_anon_is_low() is key component of active/inactive anon
balancing on reclaim.  However current inactive_anon_is_low() function
only consider global reclaim.

Therefore, we need following ugly scan_global_lru() condition.

	if (lru == LRU_ACTIVE_ANON &&
	    (!scan_global_lru(sc) || inactive_anon_is_low(zone))) {
		shrink_active_list(nr_to_scan, zone, sc, priority, file);
		return 0;

it cause that memcg reclaim always deactivate pages when shrink_list() is
called.  To make mem_cgroup_inactive_anon_is_low() improve active/inactive
anon balancing of memcgroup.

eeee9a8cd1 mm: make get_scan_ratio() safe for memcg
Currently, get_scan_ratio() always calculate the balancing value for
global reclaim and memcg reclaim doesn't use it.  Therefore it doesn't
have scan_global_lru() condition.

However, we plan to expand get_scan_ratio() to be usable for memcg too,
latter.  Then, The dependency code of global reclaim in the
get_scan_ratio() insert into scan_global_lru() condision explictly.

This patch doesn't have any functional change.

2c26fdd70c memcg: revert gfp mask fix
My patch, memcg-fix-gfp_mask-of-callers-of-charge.patch changed gfp_mask
of callers of charge to be GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE for showing what will
happen at memory reclaim.

But in recent discussion, it's NACKed because it sounds ugly.

This patch is for reverting it and add some clean up to gfp_mask of
callers of charge.  No behavior change but need review before generating
HUNK in deep queue.

This patch also adds explanation to meaning of gfp_mask passed to charge
functions in memcontrol.h.

a636b327f7 memcg: avoid unnecessary system-wide-oom-killer
Current mmtom has new oom function as pagefault_out_of_memory().  It's
added for select bad process rathar than killing current.

When memcg hit limit and calls OOM at page_fault, this handler called and
system-wide-oom handling happens.  (means kernel panics if panic_on_oom is
true....)

To avoid overkill, check memcg's recent behavior before starting
system-wide-oom.

And this patch also fixes to guarantee "don't accnout against process with
TIF_MEMDIE".  This is necessary for smooth OOM.

28dbc4b6a0 memcg: memory cgroup resource counters for hierarchy
Add support for building hierarchies in resource counters.  Cgroups allows
us to build a deep hierarchy, but we currently don't link the resource
counters belonging to the memory controller control groups, in the same
fashion as the corresponding cgroup entries in the cgroup hierarchy.  This
patch provides the infrastructure for resource counters that have the same
hiearchy as their cgroup counter parts.

These set of patches are based on the resource counter hiearchy patches
posted by Pavel Emelianov.

NOTE: Building hiearchies is expensive, deeper hierarchies imply charging
the all the way up to the root.  It is known that hiearchies are
expensive, so the user needs to be careful and aware of the trade-offs
before creating very deep ones.

08e552c69c memcg: synchronized LRU
A big patch for changing memcg's LRU semantics.

Now,
  - page_cgroup is linked to mem_cgroup's its own LRU (per zone).

  - LRU of page_cgroup is not synchronous with global LRU.

  - page and page_cgroup is one-to-one and statically allocated.

  - To find page_cgroup is on what LRU, you have to check pc->mem_cgroup as
    - lru = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc, nid_of_pc, zid_of_pc);

  - SwapCache is handled.

And, when we handle LRU list of page_cgroup, we do following.

	pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
	lock_page_cgroup(pc); .....................(1)
	mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc);
	spin_lock(&mz->lru_lock);
	.....add to LRU
	spin_unlock(&mz->lru_lock);
	unlock_page_cgroup(pc);

But (1) is spin_lock and we have to be afraid of dead-lock with zone->lru_lock.
So, trylock() is used at (1), now. Without (1), we can't trust "mz" is correct.

This is a trial to remove this dirty nesting of locks.
This patch changes mz->lru_lock to be zone->lru_lock.
Then, above sequence will be written as

        spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU
	mem_cgroup_add/remove/etc_lru() {
		pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
		mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc);
		if (PageCgroupUsed(pc)) {
			....add to LRU
		}
        spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU

This is much simpler.
(*) We're safe even if we don't take lock_page_cgroup(pc). Because..
    1. When pc->mem_cgroup can be modified.
       - at charge.
       - at account_move().
    2. at charge
       the PCG_USED bit is not set before pc->mem_cgroup is fixed.
    3. at account_move()
       the page is isolated and not on LRU.

Pros.
  - easy for maintenance.
  - memcg can make use of laziness of pagevec.
  - we don't have to duplicated LRU/Active/Unevictable bit in page_cgroup.
  - LRU status of memcg will be synchronized with global LRU's one.
  - # of locks are reduced.
  - account_move() is simplified very much.
Cons.
  - may increase cost of LRU rotation.
    (no impact if memcg is not configured.)

8c7c6e34a1 memcg: mem+swap controller core
This patch implements per cgroup limit for usage of memory+swap.  However
there are SwapCache, double counting of swap-cache and swap-entry is
avoided.

Mem+Swap controller works as following.
  - memory usage is limited by memory.limit_in_bytes.
  - memory + swap usage is limited by memory.memsw_limit_in_bytes.

This has following benefits.
  - A user can limit total resource usage of mem+swap.

    Without this, because memory resource controller doesn't take care of
    usage of swap, a process can exhaust all the swap (by memory leak.)
    We can avoid this case.

    And Swap is shared resource but it cannot be reclaimed (goes back to memory)
    until it's used. This characteristic can be trouble when the memory
    is divided into some parts by cpuset or memcg.
    Assume group A and group B.
    After some application executes, the system can be..

    Group A -- very large free memory space but occupy 99% of swap.
    Group B -- under memory shortage but cannot use swap...it's nearly full.

    Ability to set appropriate swap limit for each group is required.

Maybe someone wonder "why not swap but mem+swap ?"

  - The global LRU(kswapd) can swap out arbitrary pages. Swap-out means
    to move account from memory to swap...there is no change in usage of
    mem+swap.

    In other words, when we want to limit the usage of swap without affecting
    global LRU, mem+swap limit is better than just limiting swap.

Accounting target information is stored in swap_cgroup which is
per swap entry record.

Charge is done as following.
  map
    - charge  page and memsw.

  unmap
    - uncharge page/memsw if not SwapCache.

  swap-out (__delete_from_swap_cache)
    - uncharge page
    - record mem_cgroup information to swap_cgroup.

  swap-in (do_swap_page)
    - charged as page and memsw.
      record in swap_cgroup is cleared.
      memsw accounting is decremented.

  swap-free (swap_free())
    - if swap entry is freed, memsw is uncharged by PAGE_SIZE.

There are people work under never-swap environments and consider swap as
something bad. For such people, this mem+swap controller extension is just an
overhead.  This overhead is avoided by config or boot option.
(see Kconfig. detail is not in this patch.)

TODO:
 - maybe more optimization can be don in swap-in path. (but not very safe.)
   But we just do simple accounting at this stage.

27a7faa077 memcg: swap cgroup for remembering usage
For accounting swap, we need a record per swap entry, at least.

This patch adds following function.
  - swap_cgroup_swapon() .... called from swapon
  - swap_cgroup_swapoff() ... called at the end of swapoff.

  - swap_cgroup_record() .... record information of swap entry.
  - swap_cgroup_lookup() .... lookup information of swap entry.

This patch just implements "how to record information".  No actual method
for limit the usage of swap.  These routine uses flat table to record and
lookup.  "wise" lookup system like radix-tree requires requires memory
allocation at new records but swap-out is usually called under memory
shortage (or memcg hits limit.) So, I used static allocation.  (maybe
dynamic allocation is not very hard but it adds additional memory
allocation in memory shortage path.)

Note1: In this, we use pointer to record information and this means
      8bytes per swap entry. I think we can reduce this when we
      create "id of cgroup" in the range of 0-65535 or 0-255.

c077719be8 memcg: mem+swap controller Kconfig
Config and control variable for mem+swap controller.

This patch adds CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP
(memory resource controller swap extension.)

For accounting swap, it's obvious that we have to use additional memory to
remember "who uses swap".  This adds more overhead.  So, it's better to
offer "choice" to users.  This patch adds 2 choices.

This patch adds 2 parameters to enable swap extension or not.
  - CONFIG
  - boot option

d13d144309 memcg: handle swap caches
SwapCache support for memory resource controller (memcg)

Before mem+swap controller, memcg itself should handle SwapCache in proper
way.  This is cut-out from it.

In current memcg, SwapCache is just leaked and the user can create tons of
SwapCache.  This is a leak of account and should be handled.

SwapCache accounting is done as following.

  charge (anon)
	- charged when it's mapped.
	  (because of readahead, charge at add_to_swap_cache() is not sane)
  uncharge (anon)
	- uncharged when it's dropped from swapcache and fully unmapped.
	  means it's not uncharged at unmap.
	  Note: delete from swap cache at swap-in is done after rmap information
	        is established.
  charge (shmem)
	- charged at swap-in. this prevents charge at add_to_page_cache().

  uncharge (shmem)
	- uncharged when it's dropped from swapcache and not on shmem's
	  radix-tree.

  at migration, check against 'old page' is modified to handle shmem.

Comparing to the old version discussed (and caused troubles), we have
advantages of
  - PCG_USED bit.
  - simple migrating handling.

So, situation is much easier than several months ago, maybe.

c1e862c1f5 memcg: new force_empty to free pages under group
By memcg-move-all-accounts-to-parent-at-rmdir.patch, there is no leak of
memory usage and force_empty is removed.

This patch adds "force_empty" again, in reasonable manner.

memory.force_empty file works when

  #echo 0 (or some) > memory.force_empty
  and have following function.

  1. only works when there are no task in this cgroup.
  2. free all page under this cgroup as much as possible.
  3. page which cannot be freed will be moved up to parent.
  4. Then, memcg will be empty after above echo returns.

This is much better behavior than old "force_empty" which just forget
all accounts. This patch also check signal_pending() and above "echo"
can be stopped by "Ctrl-C".

f817ed4853 memcg: move all acccounting to parent at rmdir()
This patch provides a function to move account information of a page
between mem_cgroups and rewrite force_empty to make use of this.

This moving of page_cgroup is done under
 - lru_lock of source/destination mem_cgroup is held.
 - lock_page_cgroup() is held.

Then, a routine which touches pc->mem_cgroup without lock_page_cgroup()
should confirm pc->mem_cgroup is still valid or not.  Typical code can be
following.

(while page is not under lock_page())
	mem = pc->mem_cgroup;
	mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc)
	spin_lock_irqsave(&mz->lru_lock);
	if (pc->mem_cgroup == mem)
		...../* some list handling */
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mz->lru_lock);

Of course, better way is
	lock_page_cgroup(pc);
	....
	unlock_page_cgroup(pc);

But you should confirm the nest of lock and avoid deadlock.

If you treats page_cgroup from mem_cgroup's LRU under mz->lru_lock,
you don't have to worry about what pc->mem_cgroup points to.
moved pages are added to head of lru, not to tail.

Expected users of this routine is:
  - force_empty (rmdir)
  - moving tasks between cgroup (for moving account information.)
  - hierarchy (maybe useful.)

force_empty(rmdir) uses this move_account and move pages to its parent.
This "move" will not cause OOM (I added "oom" parameter to try_charge().)

If the parent is busy (not enough memory), force_empty calls try_to_free_page()
and reduce usage.

Purpose of this behavior is
  - Fix "forget all" behavior of force_empty and avoid leak of accounting.
  - By "moving first, free if necessary", keep pages on memory as much as
    possible.

Adding a switch to change behavior of force_empty to
  - free first, move if necessary
  - free all, if there is mlocked/busy pages, return -EBUSY.
is under consideration. (I'll add if someone requtests.)

This patch also removes memory.force_empty file, a brutal debug-only interface.

01b1ae63c2 memcg: simple migration handling
Now, management of "charge" under page migration is done under following
manner. (Assume migrate page contents from oldpage to newpage)

 before
  - "newpage" is charged before migration.
 at success.
  - "oldpage" is uncharged at somewhere(unmap, radix-tree-replace)
 at failure
  - "newpage" is uncharged.
  - "oldpage" is charged if necessary (*1)

But (*1) is not reliable....because of GFP_ATOMIC.

This patch tries to change behavior as following by charge/commit/cancel ops.

 before
  - charge PAGE_SIZE (no target page)
 success
  - commit charge against "newpage".
 failure
  - commit charge against "oldpage".
    (PCG_USED bit works effectively to avoid double-counting)
  - if "oldpage" is obsolete, cancel charge of PAGE_SIZE.

bced0520fe memcg: fix gfp_mask of callers of charge
Fix misuse of gfp_kernel.

Now, most of callers of mem_cgroup_charge_xxx functions uses GFP_KERNEL.

I think that this is from the fact that page_cgroup *was* dynamically
allocated.

But now, we allocate all page_cgroup at boot.  And
mem_cgroup_try_to_free_pages() reclaim memory from GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE +
specified GFP_RECLAIM_MASK.

  * This is because we just want to reduce memory usage.
    "Where we should reclaim from ?" is not a problem in memcg.

This patch modifies gfp masks to be GFP_HIGUSER_MOVABLE if possible.

Note: This patch is not for fixing behavior but for showing sane information
      in source code.

7a81b88cb5 memcg: introduce charge-commit-cancel style of functions
There is a small race in do_swap_page().  When the page swapped-in is
charged, the mapcount can be greater than 0.  But, at the same time some
process (shares it ) call unmap and make mapcount 1->0 and the page is
uncharged.

      CPUA 			CPUB
       mapcount == 1.
   (1) charge if mapcount==0     zap_pte_range()
                                (2) mapcount 1 => 0.
			        (3) uncharge(). (success)
   (4) set page's rmap()
       mapcount 0=>1

Then, this swap page's account is leaked.

For fixing this, I added a new interface.
  - charge
   account to res_counter by PAGE_SIZE and try to free pages if necessary.
  - commit
   register page_cgroup and add to LRU if necessary.
  - cancel
   uncharge PAGE_SIZE because of do_swap_page failure.

     CPUA
  (1) charge (always)
  (2) set page's rmap (mapcount > 0)
  (3) commit charge was necessary or not after set_pte().

This protocol uses PCG_USED bit on page_cgroup for avoiding over accounting.
Usual mem_cgroup_charge_common() does charge -> commit at a time.

And this patch also adds following function to clarify all charges.

  - mem_cgroup_newpage_charge() ....replacement for mem_cgroup_charge()
	called against newly allocated anon pages.

  - mem_cgroup_charge_migrate_fixup()
        called only from remove_migration_ptes().
	we'll have to rewrite this later.(this patch just keeps old behavior)
	This function will be removed by additional patch to make migration
	clearer.

Good for clarifying "what we do"

Then, we have 4 following charge points.
  - newpage
  - swap-in
  - add-to-cache.
  - migration.

73ce02e96f mm: stop kswapd's infinite loop at high order allocation
Wassim Dagash reported following kswapd infinite loop problem.

  kswapd runs in some infinite loop trying to swap until order 10 of zone
  highmem is OK.... kswapd will continue to try to balance order 10 of zone
  highmem forever (or until someone release a very large chunk of highmem).

For non order-0 allocations, the system may never be balanced due to
fragmentation but kswapd should not infinitely loop as a result.

Instead, recheck all watermarks at order-0 as they are the most important.
If watermarks are ok, kswapd will go back to sleep.

901608d904 mm: introduce get_mm_hiwater_xxx(), fix taskstats->hiwater_xxx accounting
xacct_add_tsk() relies on do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() and uses
mm->hiwater_xxx directly, this leads to 2 problems:

- taskstats_user_cmd() can call fill_pid()->xacct_add_tsk() at any
  moment before the task exits, so we should check the current values of
  rss/vm anyway.

- do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls are racy.  An exiting thread can
  be preempted right before mm->hiwater_xxx = new_val, and another thread
  can use A_LOT of memory and exit in between.  When the first thread
  resumes it can be the last thread in the thread group, in that case we
  report the wrong hiwater_xxx values which do not take A_LOT into
  account.

Introduce get_mm_hiwater_rss() and get_mm_hiwater_vm() helpers and change
xacct_add_tsk() to use them.  The first helper will also be used by
rusage->ru_maxrss accounting.

Kill do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls.  Unless we are going to
decrease rss/vm there is no point to update mm->hiwater_xxx, and nobody
can look at this mm_struct when exit_mmap() actually unmaps the memory.

67d58ac47d mm: pagecache gfp flags fix
Frustratingly, gfp_t is really divided into two classes of flags.  One are
the context dependent ones (can we sleep?  can we enter filesystem?  block
subsystem?  should we use some extra reserves, etc.).  The other ones are
the type of memory required and depend on how the algorithm is implemented
rather than the point at which the memory is allocated (highmem?  dma
memory?  etc).

Some of the functions which allocate a page and add it to page cache take
a gfp_t, but sometimes those functions or their callers aren't really
doing the right thing: when allocating pagecache page, the memory type
should be mapping_gfp_mask(mapping).  When allocating radix tree nodes,
the memory type should be kernel mapped (not highmem) memory.  The gfp_t
argument should only really be needed for context dependent options.

This patch doesn't really solve that tangle in a nice way, but it does
attempt to fix a couple of bugs.

- find_or_create_page changes its radix-tree allocation to only include
  the main context dependent flags in order so the pagecache page may be
  allocated from arbitrary types of memory without affecting the
  radix-tree.  In practice, slab allocations don't come from highmem
  anyway, and radix-tree only uses slab allocations.  So there isn't a
  practical change (unless some fs uses GFP_DMA for pages).

- grab_cache_page_nowait() is changed to allocate radix-tree nodes with
  GFP_NOFS, because it is not supposed to reenter the filesystem.  This
  bug could cause lock recursion if a filesystem is not expecting the
  function to reenter the fs (as-per documentation).

Filesystems should be careful about exactly what semantics they want and
what they get when fiddling with gfp_t masks to allocate pagecache.  One
should be as liberal as possible with the type of memory that can be used,
and same for the the context specific flags.

48b47c561e mm: direct IO starvation improvement
Direct IO can invalidate and sync a lot of pagecache pages in the mapping.
 A 4K direct IO will actually try to sync and/or invalidate the pagecache
of the entire file, for example (which might be many GB or TB large).

Improve this by doing range syncs.  Also, memory no longer has to be
unmapped to catch the dirty bits for syncing, as dirty bits would remain
coherent due to dirty mmap accounting.

This fixes the immediate DM deadlocks when doing direct IO reads to block
device with a mounted filesystem, if only by papering over the problem
somewhat rather than addressing the fsync starvation cases.

853ac43ab1 shmem: unify regular and tiny shmem
tiny-shmem shares most of its 130 lines of code with shmem and tends to

4779280d1e mm: make get_user_pages() interruptible
The initial implementation of checking TIF_MEMDIE covers the cases of OOM
killing.  If the process has been OOM killed, the TIF_MEMDIE is set and it
return immediately.  This patch includes:

1.  add the case that the SIGKILL is sent by user processes.  The
   process can try to get_user_pages() unlimited memory even if a user
   process has sent a SIGKILL to it(maybe a monitor find the process
   exceed its memory limit and try to kill it).  In the old
   implementation, the SIGKILL won't be handled until the get_user_pages()
   returns.

2.  change the return value to be ERESTARTSYS.  It makes no sense to
   return ENOMEM if the get_user_pages returned by getting a SIGKILL
   signal.  Considering the general convention for a system call
   interrupted by a signal is ERESTARTNOSYS, so the current return value
   is consistant to that.

Lee:

An unfortunate side effect of "make-get_user_pages-interruptible" is that
it prevents a SIGKILL'd task from munlock-ing pages that it had mlocked,
resulting in freeing of mlocked pages.  Freeing of mlocked pages, in
itself, is not so bad.  We just count them now--altho' I had hoped to
remove this stat and add PG_MLOCKED to the free pages flags check.

However, consider pages in shared libraries mapped by more than one task
that a task mlocked--e.g., via mlockall().  If the task that mlocked the
pages exits via SIGKILL, these pages would be left mlocked and
unevictable.

Proposed fix:

Add another GUP flag to ignore sigkill when calling get_user_pages from
munlock()--similar to Kosaki Motohiro's 'IGNORE_VMA_PERMISSIONS flag for
the same purpose.  We are not actually allocating memory in this case,
which "make-get_user_pages-interruptible" intends to avoid.  We're just
munlocking pages that are already resident and mapped, and we're reusing
get_user_pages() to access those pages.

??  Maybe we should combine 'IGNORE_VMA_PERMISSIONS and '_IGNORE_SIGKILL
into a single flag: GUP_FLAGS_MUNLOCK ???

1e9e63650d badpage: KERN_ALERT BUG instead of KERN_EMERG
bad_page() and rmap Eeek messages have said KERN_EMERG for a few years,
which I've followed in print_bad_pte().  These are serious system errors,
on a par with BUGs, but they're not quite emergencies, and we do our best
to carry on: say KERN_ALERT "BUG: " like the x86 oops does.

And remove the "Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed" line: it's
not untrue, but I hope the KERN_ALERT "BUG: " conveys as much.

d936cf9b39 badpage: ratelimit print_bad_pte and bad_page
print_bad_pte() and bad_page() might each need ratelimiting - especially
for their dump_stacks, almost never of interest, yet not quite
dispensible.  Correlating corruption across neighbouring entries can be
very helpful, so allow a burst of 60 reports before keeping quiet for the
remainder of that minute (or allow a steady drip of one report per
second).
