Hi, I updated the stack and reflected comments.
Against the latest mmotm. (rc7-mm1)
Major changes from previous one is
- page_cgroup allocation/lookup manner is changed.
all FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM/SPARSEMEM and MEMORY_HOTPLUG is supported.
- force_empty is totally rewritten. and a problem that "force_empty takes long time"
in previous version is fixed (I think...)
- reordered patches.
- first half are easy ones.
- second half are big ones.
I'm still testing with full debug option. No problem found yet.
(I'm afraid of race condition which have not been caught yet.)
[1/12] avoid accounting special mappings not on LRU. (fix)
[2/12] move charege() call to swapped-in page under lock_page() (clean up)
[3/12] make root cgroup to be unlimited. (change semantics.)
[4/12] make page->mapping NULL before calling uncharge (clean up)
[5/12] make page->flags to use atomic ops. (changes in infrastructure)
[6/12] optimize stat. (clean up)
[7/12] add support function for moving account. (new function)
[8/12] rewrite force_empty to use move_account. (change semantics.)
[9/12] allocate all page_cgroup at boot. (changes in infrastructure)
[10/12] free page_cgroup from LRU in lazy way (optimize)
[11/12] add page_cgroup to LRU in lazy way (optimize)
[12/12] fix race at charging swap (fix by new logic.)
*Any* comment is welcome.
Thanks,
-Kame

There are not-on-LRU pages which can be mapped and they are not worth to
be accounted. (becasue we can't shrink them and need dirty codes to handle
specical case) We'd like to make use of usual objrmap/radix-tree's protcol
and don't want to account out-of-vm's control pages.
When special_mapping_fault() is called, page->mapping is tend to be NULL
and it's charged as Anonymous page.
insert_page() also handles some special pages from drivers.
This patch is for avoiding to account special pages.

While page-cache's charge/uncharge is done under page_lock(), swap-cache
isn't. (anonymous page is charged when it's newly allocated.)
This patch moves do_swap_page()'s charge() call under lock. This helps
us to avoid to charge already mapped one, unnecessary calls.

Make root cgroup of memory resource controller to have no limit.
By this, users cannot set limit to root group. This is for making root cgroup
as a kind of trash-can.
For accounting pages which has no owner, which are created by force_empty,
we need some cgroup with no_limit. A patch for rewriting force_empty will
will follow this one.

This patch tries to make page->mapping to be NULL before
mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() is called.
"page->mapping == NULL" is a good check for "whether the page is still
radix-tree or not".
This patch also adds BUG_ON() to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page();

This patch makes page_cgroup->flags to be atomic_ops and define
functions (and macros) to access it.
This patch itself makes memcg slow but this patch's final purpose is
to remove lock_page_cgroup() and allowing fast access to page_cgroup.
(And total performance will increase after all patches applied.)
Before trying to modify memory resource controller, this atomic operation
on flags is necessary. Most of flags in this patch is for LRU and modfied
under mz->lru_lock but we'll add another flags which is not for LRU soon.
So we use atomic version here.
Changelog: (v4) -> (v5)
- removed unsued operations.
- adjusted to new ctype MEM_CGROUP_CHARGE_TYPE_SHMEM
Changelog: (v3) -> (v4)
- no changes.
Changelog: (v2) -> (v3)
- renamed macros and flags to be longer name.
- added comments.
- added "default bit set" for File, Shmem, Anon.
Changelog: (preview) -> (v1):
- patch ordering is changed.
- Added macro for defining functions for Test/Set/Clear bit.
- made the names of flags shorter.

Some obvious optimization to memcg.
I found mem_cgroup_charge_statistics() is a little big (in object) and
does unnecessary address calclation.
This patch is for optimization to reduce the size of this function.
And res_counter_charge() is 'likely' to success.
Changelog v3->v4:
- merged with an other leaf patch.

This patch provides a function to move account information of a page between
mem_cgroups.
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. Typlical 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_irq(&mz->lru_lock);
Or better way is
lock_page_cgroup(pc);
....
unlock_page_cgroup(pc);
But you should confirm the nest of lock and avoid deadlock.
(trylock is better if it's ok.)
If you find page_cgroup from mem_cgroup's LRU under mz->lru_lock,
you don't have to worry about what pc->mem_cgroup points to.
Changelog: (v4) -> (v5)
- check for lock_page() is removed.
- rewrote description.
Changelog: (v2) -> (v4)
- added lock_page_cgroup().
- splitted out from new-force-empty patch.
- added how-to-use text.
- fixed race in __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common().

What is the interface for moving the accounting? Is it an explicit call like force_empty?

I think we need to think about it and document it well.

Hmm, good point. considering force_empty, head is better. (But I don't think about this seriously because I assumed root cgroup is unlimited) I don't think this kind of internal behavior should not be documented as UI yes. of course. please do as you like if this goes. adding logic to do so needs more patch, so please wait. I'll remove this charge() and change protocol to be yes, I think so. please check SwapCache behavior. It's costly to call page_cgroup_zoneinfo() again. so just saves mem and compare pc->mem_cgroup. Thanks, --
Current force_empty of memory resource controller just removes page_cgroup.
This maans the page is never accounted at all and create an in-use page which
has no page_cgroup.
This patch tries to move account to "root" cgroup. By this patch, force_empty
doesn't leak an account but move account to "root" cgroup. Maybe someone can
think of other enhancements as moving account to its parent.
(But moving to the parent means we have to handle "limit" of pages.
Need more complicated work to do that.)
For now, just moves account to root cgroup.
Note: all lock other than old mem_cgroup's lru_lock
in this path is try_lock().
Changelog (v4) -> (5)
- removed yield()
- remove lock_page().
- use list_for_each_entry_safe() instead of list_empty() loop.
- check list is empty or not rather than see usage.
- added lru_add_drain_all() at the start of loops.
Changelog (v2) -> (v4)
- splitted out mem_cgroup_move_account().
- replaced get_page() with get_page_unless_zero().
(This is necessary for avoiding confliction with migration)

Remove page_cgroup pointer reduces the amount of memory by
- 4 bytes per PAGE_SIZE.
- 8 bytes per PAGE_SIZE
if memory controller is disabled. (even if configured.)
meta data usage of this is no problem in FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM.
On SPARSEMEM, this makes mem_section[] size twice.
On usual 8GB x86-32 server, this saves 8MB of NORMAL_ZONE memory.
On my x86-64 server with 48GB of memory, this saves 96MB of memory.
(and uses xx kbytes for mem_section.)
I think this reduction makes sense.
By pre-allocation, kmalloc/kfree in charge/uncharge are removed.
This means
- we're not necessary to be afraid of kmalloc faiulre.
(this can happen because of gfp_mask type.)
- we can avoid calling kmalloc/kfree.
- we can avoid allocating tons of small objects which can be fragmented.
- we can know what amount of memory will be used for this extra-lru handling.
I added printk message as
"allocated %ld bytes of page_cgroup"
"please try cgroup_disable=memory option if you don't want"
maybe enough informative for users.

Uh, ok. unnecessary. (In my first version, this allocation error
just shows Warning. Now, it panics.)
Please think about folloing situation.
There is a SwapCache which is referred from 2 process, A, B.
A maps it.
B doesn't maps it.
And now, process A exits.
CPU0(process A) CPU1 (process B)
zap_pte_range()
=> page remove from rmap => charge() (do_swap_page)
=> set page->mapcount->0
=> uncharge() => set page->mapcount=1
This race is what patch 12/12 is fixed.
Thank you for review.
Regards,
-Kame

On Fri, 26 Sep 2008 10:43:36 +0900 Sorry, my brain seems to be sleeping.. above page_mapped() check doesn't help this situation. Maybe this page_mapped() check is not necessary because it's of no use. I think this kind of problem will not be fixed until we handle SwapCache. Thanks, -Kame --
I've not fully understood yet what [12/12] does, but if we handle swapcache properly, [12/12] would become unnecessary? If so, how about handling swapcache instead of adding new interface? I think it can be done independent of mem+swap. Thanks, Daisuke Nishimura. --
On Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:54:22 +0900 Hmm, worth to be considered. But I'll reuse the interface itself for othres (shmem, migrate, move_account etc) But, in previous trial of SwapCache handling, we saw many troubles. Then, I'd like to go carefully step by step to handle that. Thanks, -Kame --
On Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:54:22 +0900
Try to illustrate what is trouble more precisely.
in do_swap_page(), page is charged when SwapCache lookup ends.
Here,
- charged when page is not mapped.
- not charged when page is mapped.
set_pte() etc...are done under appropriate lock.
On the other side, when a task exits, zap_pte_range() is called.
It calls page_remove_rmap().
Case A) Following is race.
Thread A Thread B
do_swap_page() zap_pte_range()
(1)try charge (mapcount=1)
(2) page_remove_rmap()
(3) uncharge page.
(4) map it
Then,
at (1), mapcount=1 and this page is not charged.
at (2), page_remove_rmap() is called and mapcount goes down to Zero.
uncharge(3) is called.
at (4), at the end of do_swap_page(), page->mapcount=1 but not charged.
Case B) In another scenario.
Thread A Thread B
do_swap_page() zap_pte_range()
(1)try charge (mapcount=1)
(2) page_remove_rmap()
(3) map it
(4) uncharge is called.
In (4), uncharge is capped but mapcount can go up to 1.
protocol 12/12 is for case (A).
After 12/12, double-check page_mapped() under lock_page_cgroup() will be fix to
case (B).
Huu, I don't like swap-cache ;)
Anyway, we'll have to handle swap cache later.
Thanks,
-Kame

On Fri, 26 Sep 2008 10:43:36 +0900 I think I saw page_mapped() case (in your shmem/page test.) I'll check what cause this if I have time. Thanks, -Kame --
Because of terrible compile error in FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM, I post
fixed version (and avoid patch bomb again.)
I post replacements for 9(fix), and 10,11,12 (adjustment for HUNK).
==
Allocate all page_cgroup at boot and remove page_cgroup poitner
from struct page. This patch adds an interface as
struct page_cgroup *lookup_page_cgroup(struct page*)
All FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM/SPARSEMEM and MEMORY_HOTPLUG is supported.
Remove page_cgroup pointer reduces the amount of memory by
- 4 bytes per PAGE_SIZE.
- 8 bytes per PAGE_SIZE
if memory controller is disabled. (even if configured.)
On usual 8GB x86-32 server, this saves 8MB of NORMAL_ZONE memory.
On my x86-64 server with 48GB of memory, this saves 96MB of memory.
I think this reduction makes sense.
By pre-allocation, kmalloc/kfree in charge/uncharge are removed.
This means
- we're not necessary to be afraid of kmalloc faiulre.
(this can happen because of gfp_mask type.)
- we can avoid calling kmalloc/kfree.
- we can avoid allocating tons of small objects which can be fragmented.
- we can know what amount of memory will be used for this extra-lru handling.
I added printk message as
"allocated %ld bytes of page_cgroup"
"please try cgroup_disable=memory option if you don't want"
maybe enough informative for users.
TODO:
- small race window still remains in do_swap_page(). will be fixed by
later patch in series.
Changelog: v5 -> v6.
* removed "ctype" from uncharge.
* improved comment to show FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP == !SPARSEMEM
* fixed errors in !SPARSEMEM codes
* removed unused function in !SPARSEMEM codes.
(start from v5 because of series..)

When uncharge() is called, page is pushed onto per-cpu vector and
removed from LRU, later.. This routine resembles to global LRU's pagevec.
This patch is half of the whole patch and a set with following lazy LRU add

Delaying add_to_lru() and do it in batched manner like page_vec.
For doing that 2 flags PCG_USED and PCG_LRU.
If PCG_LRU is set, page is on LRU. It safe to access LRU via page_cgroup.
(under some lock.)
For avoiding race, this patch uses TestSetPageCgroupUsed().
and checking PCG_USED bit and PCG_LRU bit in add/free vector.
By this, lock_page_cgroup() in mem_cgroup_charge() is removed.
(I don't want to call lock_page_cgroup() under mz->lru_lock when
add/free vector core logic. So, TestSetPageCgroupUsed() logic is added.
TestSet is an easy way to avoid unneccesary nest of locks.)
Changelog: v3 -> v5.
- removed css_get/put per page_cgroup struct.
Now, *new* force_empty checks there is page_cgroup on the memcg.
We don't need to be afraid of leak.
Changelog: v2 -> v3
- added TRANSIT flag and removed lock from core logic.
Changelog: v1 -> v2:
- renamed function name from use_page_cgroup to set_page_cgroup_lru().

On Wed, 01 Oct 2008 09:33:53 +0530 That check is not necessary. Because we use kmalloc()/vmalloc() in mem_cgroup_create(), after this. (We assume usual page allocateor is available here. For FLATMEM, size of ???? it's usually not accepted. I've seen such case very much. Memory hotremoval is not related to this. This preempt_disable() is avoidance for deadlock. (I thought) lock_page_cgroup(); -> spin_lock_irqsave(&mz->lru_lock); -> spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mz->lru_lock); unlock_page_cgroup(); Did you see performance regression by atomic ops ? I'll rewrite the whole stack from now for your request. Thanks, --
On Wed, 1 Oct 2008 14:07:48 +0900 BTW, do you have good idea to modify flag bit without affecting LOCK bit on page_cgroup->flags ? At least, we'll have to set ACTIVE/INACTIVE/UNEVICTABLE flags dynamically. take lock_page_cgroup() always ? __mem_cgroup_move_lists() will have some amount of changes. And we should check dead lock again. Thanks, -Kame --
In the past patches, I've used lock_page_cgroup(). In some cases like initialization at boot time, I've ignored taking the lock, since I know no-one __mem_cgroup_move_lists() is called from mem_cgroup_isolate_pages() and mem_cgroup_move_lists(). In mem_cgroup_move_lists(), we have the page_cgroup lock. I think the current code works on the assumption (although not documented anywhere I've seen), that PAGE_CGROUP_FLAG_INACTIVE/ACTIVE/UNEVICTABLE bits are protected by lru_lock. Please look at __mem_cgroup_remove_list __mem_cgroup_add_list __mem_cgroup_move_lists __mem_cgroup_charge_common (sets this flag, before the pc is associated with the page). Am I missing something (today is holiday here, so I am in a bit of a lazy/sleepy mood :) ) -- Balbir --
On Wed, 01 Oct 2008 11:29:04 +0530 But my point is lru_lock doesn't means page_cgroup is not locked by someone and we must take always lock_page_cgroup() when we modify flags. Then, mem_cgroup_isolate_page() should have to take lock. But this means we have to care preemption for avoiding deadlock. Maybe need some time to test. Thanks, -Kame --
I don't think you'll need to do a major rewrite? Will you? My concern is that this patch does too much to be a single patch. Consider someone trying to do a git-bisect to identify a problem? It is hard to review as well and I think the patch that just removes struct page member can go in faster. It will be easier to test/debug as well, we'll know if the problem is because of new page_cgroup being outside struct page rather then guessing if it was the atomic ops that caused the problem. -- Balbir --
On Wed, 01 Oct 2008 11:00:42 +0530 yes. LOCK bit is on page_cgroup->flags bit. Then, I'll check all places which modify page_cgroup->flags again and take lock always. atomic_ops patch just rewrite exisiting behavior. Thanks, -Kame --
On Wed, 1 Oct 2008 14:41:50 +0900 please forgive me to post v6 today, which passed 24h+ tests. v5 is a week old. Discussion about patch order is welcome. But please give me hint. Thanks, -Kame --
That sounds impressive. I'll test and review v6. -- Balbir --

I confirmed I can reproduce this.
I found one chance to cause this. (and confirmed this happens by printk)
set_lru()..
TestSetPageCgroup(pc);
.... if (PageCgroupUsed(pc) && !PageCgroupLRU(pc))
pc->mem_cgroup = mem;
SetPageCgroupLRU();
__mem_cgroup_add_list();
Then, page_cgroup will be added to wrong LRU whic doesn't match pc->mem_cgroup.
But there is still more...still digging.
Thanks,

Thank you for your patient good test!
I'm now testing following (and will do over-night test.)
In this an hour, this seems to work good.
(under your test which usually panics in 10-20min on my box.)

page_cgroup is not valid until pc->mem_cgroup is set to appropriate value.
There is a small race between Set-Used-Bit and Set-Proper-pc->mem_cgroup.
This patch tries to fix that by adding PCG_VALID bit

Kame, I'm beginning to review test the patches now. It would be really nice to split the development patches from the maintenance ones. I think the full patchset has too many things and is confusing to look at. -- Balbir --

I think (1) might be OK, except for the accounting issues pointed out (change in behaviour visible to end user again, sigh! :( ). Is (1) a serious issue? (2) seems OK, except for the locking change for mark_page_accessed. I am looking at (4) and (6) currently. -- Balbir --

I'll do in following way in the next Monday.
Divide patches into 2 set
in early fix/optimize set.
- push (2)
- push (4)
- push (6)
- push (1)
drops (3).
I don't want to remove all? pages-never-on-LRU before fixing force_empty.
in updates
- introduce atomic flags. (5)
- add move_account() function (7)
- add memory.attribute to each memcg dir. (NEW)
- enhance force_empty (was (8))
- remove "forget all" logic. and add attribute to select following 2 behavior
- call try_to_free_page() until the usage goes down to 0.
This allows faiulre (if page is mlocked, we can't do.). (NEW)
- call move_account() to move all charges to its parent (as much as possible) (NEW)
In future, I'd liket to add trash-box cgroup for force_empty somewhere.
- allocate all page cgroup at boot (9)
- lazy lru free/add (10,11) with fixes.
- fix race at charging swap. (12)
After (9), all page and page_cgroup has one-to-one releationship and we want to
assume that "if page is alive and on LRU, it's accounted and has page_cgroup."
(other team, bio cgroup want to use page_cgroup and I want to make it easy.)
For this, fix to behavior of force_empty..."forget all" is necessary.
SwapCache handling is also necessary but I'd like to postpone until next set
because it's complicated.
After above all.
- handle swap cache
- Mem+Swap controller.
- add trashbox feature ?
- add memory.shrink_usage_to file.
It's long way to what I really want to do....
Thanks,
-Kame
