CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM used to be a user-visible option for whether slab
tracking is enabled. It has been default-enabled and equivalent to
CONFIG_MEMCG for almost a decade. We've only grown more kernel memory
accounting sites since, and there is no imaginable cgroup usecase going
forward that wants to track user pages but not the multitude of
user-drivable kernel allocations.

When the shrinker encounter an existing folio in swap cache, it means we
are shrinking into the warmer region. We should terminate shrinking if
we're in the dynamic shrinker context.
This patch add LRU_STOP to support this, to avoid overshrinking.

Actually, when using a boot time kernel option "cgroup.memory=nokmem", all
lru items are inserted to list_lru_node. But for those users who invoke
list_lru_init_memcg() to initialize list_lru, list_lru_memcg_aware()
returns true. And this brings unneeded operations related to memcg.
To make things more convenient, let's disable memcg_aware when
cgroup.memory is set to "nokmem".

Patch series "workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap
writeback", v8.
There are currently several issues with zswap writeback:
1. There is only a single global LRU for zswap, making it impossible to
perform worload-specific shrinking - an memcg under memory pressure
cannot determine which pages in the pool it owns, and often ends up
writing pages from other memcgs. This issue has been previously
observed in practice and mitigated by simply disabling
memcg-initiated shrinking:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230530232435.3097106-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/T/#u
But this solution leaves a lot to be desired, as we still do not
have an avenue for an memcg to free up its own memory locked up in
the zswap pool.
2. We only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is hit.
This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are
unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious
memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed
ahead of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on
factors such as memory access patterns and compressibility of the
memory pages).
This patch series solves these issues by separating the global zswap LRU
into per-memcg and per-NUMA LRUs, and performs workload-specific (i.e
memcg- and NUMA-aware) zswap writeback under memory pressure. The new
shrinker does not have any parameter that must be tuned by the user, and
can be opted in or out on a per-memcg basis.
As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the
linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in
tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall
performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe
from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.
This patch (of 6):
The interface of list_lru is based on the assumption that the list node
and the data it represents belong to the same allocated on the correct
node/memcg. While this assumption is valid for existing slab objects LRU
such as dentries and inodes, it is undocumented, and rather inflexible for
certain potential list_lru users (such as the upcoming zswap shrinker and
the THP shrinker). It has caused us a lot of issues during our
development.
This patch changes list_lru interface so that the caller must explicitly
specify numa node and memcg when adding and removing objects. The old
list_lru_add() and list_lru_del() are renamed to list_lru_add_obj() and
list_lru_del_obj(), respectively.
It also extends the list_lru API with a new function, list_lru_putback,
which undoes a previous list_lru_isolate call. Unlike list_lru_add, it
does not increment the LRU node count (as list_lru_isolate does not
decrement the node count). list_lru_putback also allows for explicit
memcg and NUMA node selection.

Currently mem_cgroup_from_obj() is not working properly with objects
allocated using vmalloc(). It creates problems in some cases, when it's
called for static objects belonging to modules or generally allocated
using vmalloc().
This patch makes mem_cgroup_from_obj() safe to be called on objects
allocated using vmalloc().
It also introduces mem_cgroup_from_slab_obj(), which is a faster version
to use in places when we know the object is either a slab object or a
generic slab page (e.g. when adding an object to a lru list).

Since commit 2c80cd57c7 ("mm/list_lru.c: fix list_lru_count_node() to
be race free"), we are tracking the total number of lru entries in a
list_lru_node in its nr_items field.
In the case of memcg_reparent_list_lru_node(), there is nothing to be
done if nr_items is 0. We don't even need to take the nlru->lock as no
new lru entry could be added by a racing list_lru_add() to the draining
src_idx memcg at this point.
On systems that serve a lot of containers, it is possible that there can
be thousands of list_lru's present due to the fact that each container
may mount its own container specific filesystems. As a typical
container uses only a few cpus, it is likely that only the list_lru_node
that contains those cpus will be utilized while the rests may be empty.
In other words, there can be a lot of list_lru_node with 0 nr_items.
By skipping a lock/unlock operation and loading a cacheline from
memcg_lrus, a sizeable number of cpu cycles can be saved. That can be
substantial if we are talking about thousands of list_lru_node's with 0
nr_items.

If we run 10k containers in the system, the size of the
list_lru_memcg->lrus can be ~96KB per list_lru. When we decrease the
number containers, the size of the array will not be shrinked. It is
not scalable. The xarray is a good choice for this case. We can save a
lot of memory when there are tens of thousands continers in the system.
If we use xarray, we also can remove the logic code of resizing array,
which can simplify the code.

We currently allocate scope for every memcg to be able to tracked on

These huge memcg counts come from container hosts where memcgs are

For these systems with huge container counts, list_lru does not need the

So introduce kmem_cache_alloc_lru to allocate objects and its list_lru.

been reduced to a suitable value. It leads to waste a lot of memory.
If we want to reduce memcg_nr_cache_ids, we have to *reboot* the server.
This is not what we want.
In order to reduce memcg_nr_cache_ids, I had posted a patchset [1] to do
this. But this did not fundamentally solve the problem.
We currently allocate scope for every memcg to be able to tracked on
every superblock instantiated in the system, regardless of whether that
superblock is even accessible to that memcg.
These huge memcg counts come from container hosts where memcgs are
confined to just a small subset of the total number of superblocks that
instantiated at any given point in time.
For these systems with huge container counts, list_lru does not need the
capability of tracking every memcg on every superblock.
What it comes down to is that the list_lru is only needed for a given
memcg if that memcg is instatiating and freeing objects on a given
list_lru.
As Dave said, "Which makes me think we should be moving more towards 'add
the memcg to the list_lru at the first insert' model rather than
'instantiate all at memcg init time just in case'."
This patchset aims to optimize the list lru memory consumption from
different aspects.
I had done a easy test to show the optimization. I create 10k memory
cgroups and mount 10k filesystems in the systems. We use free command to
show how many memory does the systems comsumes after this operation (There
are 2 numa nodes in the system).

This series not only optimizes the memory usage of list_lru but also
simplifies the code.
This patch (of 16):
The current scheme of maintaining per-node per-memcg lru lists looks like:
struct list_lru {
struct list_lru_node *node; (for each node)
struct list_lru_memcg *memcg_lrus;
struct list_lru_one *lru[]; (for each memcg)
}
By effectively transposing the two-dimension array of list_lru_one's structures
(per-node per-memcg => per-memcg per-node) it's possible to save some memory
and simplify alloc/dealloc paths. The new scheme looks like:
struct list_lru {
struct list_lru_memcg *mlrus;
struct list_lru_per_memcg *mlru[]; (for each memcg)
struct list_lru_one node[0]; (for each node)
}
Memory savings are coming from not only 'struct rcu_head' but also some
pointer arrays used to store the pointer to 'struct list_lru_one'. The
array is per node and its size is 8 (a pointer) * num_memcgs. So the
total size of the arrays is 8 * num_nodes * memcg_nr_cache_ids. After
this patch, the size becomes 8 * memcg_nr_cache_ids.

Since commit 2788cf0c40 ("memcg: reparent list_lrus and free kmemcg_id

reparenting. In this case, list_lru_count_one() will return an unusual

affected any users. But it is better to let list_lru_count_ont()
returns zero when ->nr_items is negative.

As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes,
and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially
multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar)
function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing.
This could lead to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being
made than the caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead
to linear overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors.
So, use the struct_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the
argument "size + count * size" in the kvmalloc() functions.
Also, take the opportunity to refactor the memcpy() call to use the
flex_array_size() helper.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed
manually.

The shrinker map management is not purely memcg specific, it is at the
intersection between memory cgroup and shrinkers. It's allocation and
assignment of a structure, and the only memcg bit is the map is being
stored in a memcg structure. So move the shrinker_maps handling code
into vmscan.c for tighter integration with shrinker code, and remove the
"memcg_" prefix. There is no functional change.

When investigating a slab cache bloat problem, significant amount of
negative dentry cache was seen, but confusingly they neither got shrunk
by reclaimer (the host has very tight memory) nor be shrunk by dropping
cache. The vmcore shows there are over 14M negative dentry objects on
lru, but tracing result shows they were even not scanned at all.
Further investigation shows the memcg's vfs shrinker_map bit is not set.
So the reclaimer or dropping cache just skip calling vfs shrinker. So
we have to reboot the hosts to get the memory back.
I didn't manage to come up with a reproducer in test environment, and
the problem can't be reproduced after rebooting. But it seems there is
race between shrinker map bit clear and reparenting by code inspection.
The hypothesis is elaborated as below.
The memcg hierarchy on our production environment looks like:
root
/ \
system user
The main workloads are running under user slice's children, and it
creates and removes memcg frequently. So reparenting happens very often
under user slice, but no task is under user slice directly.
So with the frequent reparenting and tight memory pressure, the below
hypothetical race condition may happen:
CPU A CPU B
reparent
dst->nr_items == 0
shrinker:
total_objects == 0
add src->nr_items to dst
set_bit
return SHRINK_EMPTY
clear_bit
child memcg offline
replace child's kmemcg_id with
parent's (in memcg_offline_kmem())
list_lru_del() between shrinker runs
see parent's kmemcg_id
dec dst->nr_items
reparent again
dst->nr_items may go negative
due to concurrent list_lru_del()
The second run of shrinker:
read nr_items without any
synchronization, so it may
see intermediate negative
nr_items then total_objects
may return 0 coincidently
keep the bit cleared
dst->nr_items != 0
skip set_bit
add scr->nr_item to dst
After this point dst->nr_item may never go zero, so reparenting will not
set shrinker_map bit anymore. And since there is no task under user
slice directly, so no new object will be added to its lru to set the
shrinker map bit either. That bit is kept cleared forever.
How does list_lru_del() race with reparenting? It is because reparenting
replaces children's kmemcg_id to parent's without protecting from
nlru->lock, so list_lru_del() may see parent's kmemcg_id but actually
deleting items from child's lru, but dec'ing parent's nr_items, so the
parent's nr_items may go negative as commit 2788cf0c40 ("memcg:
reparent list_lrus and free kmemcg_id on css offline") says.
Since it is impossible that dst->nr_items goes negative and
src->nr_items goes zero at the same time, so it seems we could set the
shrinker map bit iff src->nr_items != 0. We could synchronize
list_lru_count_one() and reparenting with nlru->lock, but it seems
checking src->nr_items in reparenting is the simplest and avoids lock
contention.

A shattered l.nr_items could affect the shrinker behaviour due to a data

avoid readability issues of writing WRITE_ONCE(var, var + val).

Sometimes we need to get a memcg pointer from a charged kernel object.
The right way to get it depends on whether it's a proper slab object or
it's backed by raw pages (e.g. it's a vmalloc alloction). In the first
case the kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg indirection should be used; in
other cases it's just page->mem_cgroup.
To simplify this task and hide the implementation details let's use the
mem_cgroup_from_obj() helper, which takes a pointer to any kernel object
and returns a valid memcg pointer or NULL.
Passing a kernel address rather than a pointer to a page will allow to use
this helper for per-object (rather than per-page) tracked objects in the
future.
The caller is still responsible to ensure that the returned memcg isn't
going away underneath: take the rcu read lock, cgroup mutex etc; depending
on the context.
mem_cgroup_from_kmem() defined in mm/list_lru.c is now obsolete and can be
removed.

Every slab page charged to a non-root memory cgroup has a pointer to the
memory cgroup and holds a reference to it, which protects a non-empty
memory cgroup from being released. At the same time the page has a
pointer to the corresponding kmem_cache, and also hold a reference to the
kmem_cache. And kmem_cache by itself holds a reference to the cgroup.
So there is clearly some redundancy, which allows to stop setting the
page->mem_cgroup pointer and rely on getting memcg pointer indirectly via
kmem_cache. Further it will allow to change this pointer easier, without
a need to go over all charged pages.
So let's stop setting page->mem_cgroup pointer for slab pages, and stop
using the css refcounter directly for protecting the memory cgroup from
going away. Instead rely on kmem_cache as an intermediate object.
Make sure that vmstats and shrinker lists are working as previously, as
well as /proc/kpagecgroup interface.

It is reproducible as far as 4.12. I did not try older kernels. You have
to have a new enough systemd, e.g. 241 (the reason is unknown -- was not
investigated). Cannot be reproduced with systemd 234.
The system crashes because the size of lru array is never updated in
memcg_update_all_list_lrus and the reads are past the zero-sized array,
causing dereferences of random memory.
The root cause are list_lru_memcg_aware checks in the list_lru code. The
test in list_lru_memcg_aware is broken: it assumes node 0 is always
present, but it is not true on some systems as can be seen above.
So fix this by avoiding checks on node 0. Remember the memcg-awareness by
a bool flag in struct list_lru.

Patch series "mm/list_lru: Add list_lru_shrink_walk_irq() and a user".
This series removes the local_irq_disable() around
list_lru_shrink_walk() (as used by mm/workingset) by adding
list_lru_shrink_walk_irq().
Vladimir Davydov preferred this over `irq' argument which I added to
struct list_lru.
The initial post (of this series) received a Reviewed-by tag by Vladimir
Davydov which I added to each patch of the series. The series applies
on top of akpm's tree which has Kirill's shrink_slab series and does not
clash with it (akpm asked me to wait a week or so and repost it then).
I tested the code paths by triggering the OOM-killer via memory over
commit and lockdep did not complain (nor did I see any warnings).
This patch (of 4):
list_lru_walk_node() invokes __list_lru_walk_one() with -1 as the
memcg_idx parameter. The same can be achieved by list_lru_walk_one() and
passing NULL as memcg argument which then gets converted into -1. This is
a preparation step when the spin_lock() function is lifted to the caller
of __list_lru_walk_one(). Invoke list_lru_walk_one() instead
__list_lru_walk_one() when possible.

Introduce set_shrinker_bit() function to set shrinker-related bit in
memcg shrinker bitmap, and set the bit after the first item is added and
in case of reparenting destroyed memcg's items.
This will allow next patch to make shrinkers be called only, in case of
they have charged objects at the moment, and to improve shrink_slab()
performance.

Patch series "Improve shrink_slab() scalability (old complexity was O(n^2), new is O(n))", v8.
This patcheset solves the problem with slow shrink_slab() occuring on
the machines having many shrinkers and memory cgroups (i.e., with many
containers). The problem is complexity of shrink_slab() is O(n^2) and
it grows too fast with the growth of containers numbers.
Let us have 200 containers, and every container has 10 mounts and 10
cgroups. All container tasks are isolated, and they don't touch foreign
containers mounts.
In case of global reclaim, a task has to iterate all over the memcgs and
to call all the memcg-aware shrinkers for all of them. This means, the
task has to visit 200 * 10 = 2000 shrinkers for every memcg, and since
there are 2000 memcgs, the total calls of do_shrink_slab() are 2000 *
2000 = 4000000.
4 million calls are not a number operations, which can takes 1 cpu
cycle. E.g., super_cache_count() accesses at least two lists, and makes
arifmetical calculations. Even, if there are no charged objects, we do
these calculations, and replaces cpu caches by read memory. I observed
nodes spending almost 100% time in kernel, in case of intensive writing
and global reclaim. The writer consumes pages fast, but it's need to
shrink_slab() before the reclaimer reached shrink pages function (and
frees SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages). Even if there is no writing, the
iterations just waste the time, and slows reclaim down.
Let's see the small test below:
$echo 1 > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.use_hierarchy
$mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct
$echo 4000M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes
$for i in `seq 0 4000`;
do mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/$i;
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/$i/cgroup.procs;
mkdir -p s/$i; mount -t tmpfs $i s/$i; touch s/$i/file;
done
Then, let's see drop caches time (5 sequential calls):
$time echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
0.00user 13.78system 0:13.78elapsed 99%CPU
0.00user 5.59system 0:05.60elapsed 99%CPU
0.00user 5.48system 0:05.48elapsed 99%CPU
0.00user 8.35system 0:08.35elapsed 99%CPU
0.00user 8.34system 0:08.35elapsed 99%CPU
The last four calls don't actually shrink anything. So, the iterations
over slab shrinkers take 5.48 seconds. Not so good for scalability.
The patchset solves the problem by making shrink_slab() of O(n)
complexity. There are following functional actions:
1) Assign id to every registered memcg-aware shrinker.
2) Maintain per-memcgroup bitmap of memcg-aware shrinkers, and set a
shrinker-related bit after the first element is added to lru list
(also, when removed child memcg elements are reparanted).
3) Split memcg-aware shrinkers and !memcg-aware shrinkers, and call a
shrinker if its bit is set in memcg's shrinker bitmap. (Also, there is
a functionality to clear the bit, after last element is shrinked).
This gives significant performance increase. The result after patchset
is applied:
$time echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
0.00user 1.10system 0:01.10elapsed 99%CPU
0.00user 0.00system 0:00.01elapsed 64%CPU
0.00user 0.01system 0:00.01elapsed 82%CPU
0.00user 0.00system 0:00.01elapsed 64%CPU
0.00user 0.01system 0:00.01elapsed 82%CPU
The results show the performance increases at least in 548 times.
So, the patchset makes shrink_slab() of less complexity and improves the
performance in such types of load I pointed. This will give a profit in
case of !global reclaim case, since there also will be less
do_shrink_slab() calls.
This patch (of 17):
These two pairs of blocks of code are under the same #ifdef #else
#endif.

During the reclaiming slab of a memcg, shrink_slab iterates over all
registered shrinkers in the system, and tries to count and consume
objects related to the cgroup. In case of memory pressure, this behaves
bad: I observe high system time and time spent in list_lru_count_one()
for many processes on RHEL7 kernel.
This patch makes list_lru_node::memcg_lrus rcu protected, that allows to
skip taking spinlock in list_lru_count_one().

For quick per-memcg indexing, slab caches and list_lru structures
maintain linear arrays of descriptors. As the number of concurrent
memory cgroups in the system goes up, this requires large contiguous
allocations (8k cgroups = order-5, 16k cgroups = order-6 etc.) for every
existing slab cache and list_lru, which can easily fail on loaded
systems. E.g.:
mkdir: page allocation failure: order:5, mode:0x14040c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null)

This output is from an artificial reproducer, but we have repeatedly

Use kvmalloc and kvzalloc to fall back to vmalloc space if these arrays

list_lru_count_node() iterates over all memcgs to get the total number of
entries on the node but it can race with memcg_drain_all_list_lrus(),
which migrates the entries from a dead cgroup to another. This can return
incorrect number of entries from list_lru_count_node().
Fix this by keeping track of entries per node and simply return it in
list_lru_count_node().

As described in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177821:
After some analysis it seems to be that the problem is in alloc_super().
In case list_lru_init_memcg() fails it goes into destroy_super(), which
calls list_lru_destroy().
And in list_lru_init() we see that in case memcg_init_list_lru() fails,
lru->node is freed, but not set NULL, which then leads list_lru_destroy()
to believe it is initialized and call memcg_destroy_list_lru().
memcg_destroy_list_lru() in turn can access lru->node[i].memcg_lrus,
which is NULL.
