4e5f01c2b9 memcg: clear pc->mem_cgroup if necessary.
This is a preparation before removing a flag PCG_ACCT_LRU in page_cgroup
and reducing atomic ops/complexity in memcg LRU handling.

In some cases, pages are added to lru before charge to memcg and pages
are not classfied to memory cgroup at lru addtion.  Now, the lru where
the page should be added is determined a bit in page_cgroup->flags and
pc->mem_cgroup.  I'd like to remove the check of flag.

To handle the case pc->mem_cgroup may contain stale pointers if pages
are added to LRU before classification.  This patch resets
pc->mem_cgroup to root_mem_cgroup before lru additions.

36b62ad539 memcg: simplify corner case handling of LRU.
This patch simplifies LRU handling of racy case (memcg+SwapCache).  At
charging, SwapCache tend to be on LRU already.  So, before overwriting
pc->mem_cgroup, the page must be removed from LRU and added to LRU
later.

This patch does
        spin_lock(zone->lru_lock);
        if (PageLRU(page))
                remove from LRU
        overwrite pc->mem_cgroup
        if (PageLRU(page))
                add to new LRU.
        spin_unlock(zone->lru_lock);

And guarantee all pages are not on LRU at modifying pc->mem_cgroup.
This patch also unfies lru handling of replace_page_cache() and
swapin.

dc67d50465 memcg: simplify page cache charging
This patch is a clean up. No functional/logical changes.

Because of commit ef6a3c6311 ("mm: add replace_page_cache_page()
function") , FUSE uses replace_page_cache() instead of
add_to_page_cache().  Then, mem_cgroup_cache_charge() is not called
against FUSE's pages from splice.

So now, mem_cgroup_cache_charge() gets pages that are not on the LRU
with the exception of PageSwapCache pages.  For checking,
WARN_ON_ONCE(PageLRU(page)) is added.

de077d222d oom, memcg: fix exclusion of memcg threads after they have detached their mm
The oom killer relies on logic that identifies threads that have already
been oom killed when scanning the tasklist and, if found, deferring
until such threads have exited.  This is done by checking for any
candidate threads that have the TIF_MEMDIE bit set.

For memcg ooms, candidate threads are first found by calling
task_in_mem_cgroup() since the oom killer should not defer if there's an
oom killed thread in another memcg.

Unfortunately, task_in_mem_cgroup() excludes threads if they have
detached their mm in the process of exiting so TIF_MEMDIE is never
detected for such conditions.  This is different for global, mempolicy,
and cpuset oom conditions where a detached mm is only excluded after
checking for TIF_MEMDIE and deferring, if necessary, in
select_bad_process().

The fix is to return true if a task has a detached mm but is still in
the memcg or its hierarchy that is currently oom.  This will allow the
oom killer to appropriately defer rather than kill unnecessarily or, in
the worst case, panic the machine if nothing else is available to kill.

cfa449461e mm: memcg: lookup_page_cgroup (almost) never returns NULL
Pages have their corresponding page_cgroup descriptors set up before
they are used in userspace, and thus managed by a memory cgroup.

The only time where lookup_page_cgroup() can return NULL is in the
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM-only page sanity checking code that executes while
feeding pages into the page allocator for the first time.

Remove the NULL checks against lookup_page_cgroup() results from all
callsites where we know that corresponding page_cgroup descriptors must
be allocated, and add a comment to the callsite that actually does have
to check the return value.

e94c8a9cbc memcg: make mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() more efficient
In split_huge_page(), mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() is called to handle
page_cgroup modifcations.  It takes move_lock_page_cgroup() and modifies
page_cgroup and LRU accounting jobs and called HPAGE_PMD_SIZE - 1 times.

But thinking again,
  - compound_lock() is held at move_accout...then, it's not necessary
    to take move_lock_page_cgroup().
  - LRU is locked and all tail pages will go into the same LRU as
    head is now on.
  - page_cgroup is contiguous in huge page range.

This patch fixes mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() as to be called once per
hugepage and reduce costs for spliting.

descriptor that exists for every page frame in the system.

Once the per-memcg LRU lists directly link struct pages, the isolation
function and all other list manipulations are shared between the memcg
case and the global LRU case.

ad2b8e6010 mm: memcg: remove optimization of keeping the root_mem_cgroup LRU lists empty
root_mem_cgroup, lacking a configurable limit, was never subject to
limit reclaim, so the pages charged to it could be kept off its LRU
lists.  They would be found on the global per-zone LRU lists upon
physical memory pressure and it made sense to avoid uselessly linking
them to both lists.

The global per-zone LRU lists are about to go away on memcg-enabled
kernels, with all pages being exclusively linked to their respective
per-memcg LRU lists.  As a result, pages of the root_mem_cgroup must
also be linked to its LRU lists again.  This is purely about the LRU
list, root_mem_cgroup is still not charged.

The overhead is temporary until the double-LRU scheme is going away
completely.

5660048cca mm: move memcg hierarchy reclaim to generic reclaim code
Memory cgroup limit reclaim and traditional global pressure reclaim will
soon share the same code to reclaim from a hierarchical tree of memory
cgroups.

In preparation of this, move the two right next to each other in
shrink_zone().

The mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim() polymath is split into a soft
limit reclaim function, which still does hierarchy walking on its own,
and a limit (shrinking) reclaim function, which relies on generic
reclaim code to walk the hierarchy.

527a5ec9a5 mm: memcg: per-priority per-zone hierarchy scan generations
Memory cgroup limit reclaim currently picks one memory cgroup out of the
target hierarchy, remembers it as the last scanned child, and reclaims
all zones in it with decreasing priority levels.

The new hierarchy reclaim code will pick memory cgroups from the same
hierarchy concurrently from different zones and priority levels, it
becomes necessary that hierarchy roots not only remember the last
scanned child, but do so for each zone and priority level.

Until now, we reclaimed memcgs like this:

    mem = mem_cgroup_iter(root)
    for each priority level:
      for each zone in zonelist:
        reclaim(mem, zone)

But subsequent patches will move the memcg iteration inside the loop
over the zones:

    for each priority level:
      for each zone in zonelist:
        mem = mem_cgroup_iter(root)
        reclaim(mem, zone)

And to keep with the original scan order - memcg -> priority -> zone -
the last scanned memcg has to be remembered per zone and per priority
level.

Furthermore, global reclaim will be switched to the hierarchy walk as
well.  Different from limit reclaim, which can just recheck the limit
after some reclaim progress, its target is to scan all memcgs for the
desired zone pages, proportional to the memcg size, and so reliably
detecting a full hierarchy round-trip will become crucial.

Currently, the code relies on one reclaimer encountering the same memcg
twice, but that is error-prone with concurrent reclaimers.  Instead, use
a generation counter that is increased every time the child with the
highest ID has been visited, so that reclaimers can stop when the
generation changes.

9f3a0d0933 mm: memcg: consolidate hierarchy iteration primitives
The memcg naturalization series:

Memory control groups are currently bolted onto the side of
traditional memory management in places where better integration would
be preferrable.  To reclaim memory, for example, memory control groups
maintain their own LRU list and reclaim strategy aside from the global
per-zone LRU list reclaim.  But an extra list head for each existing
page frame is expensive and maintaining it requires additional code.

This patchset disables the global per-zone LRU lists on memory cgroup
configurations and converts all its users to operate on the per-memory
cgroup lists instead.  As LRU pages are then exclusively on one list,
this saves two list pointers for each page frame in the system:

page_cgroup array size with 4G physical memory

  vanilla: allocated 31457280 bytes of page_cgroup
  patched: allocated 15728640 bytes of page_cgroup

At the same time, system performance for various workloads is
unaffected:

ab936cbcd0 memcg: add mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() to fix LRU issue
Commit ef6a3c6311 ("mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function") added a
function replace_page_cache_page().  This function replaces a page in the
radix-tree with a new page.  WHen doing this, memory cgroup needs to fix
up the accounting information.  memcg need to check PCG_USED bit etc.

In some(many?) cases, 'newpage' is on LRU before calling
replace_page_cache().  So, memcg's LRU accounting information should be
fixed, too.

This patch adds mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() and removes the old hooks.
 In that function, old pages will be unaccounted without touching
res_counter and new page will be accounted to the memcg (of old page).
WHen overwriting pc->mem_cgroup of newpage, take zone->lru_lock and avoid
races with LRU handling.

Background:
  replace_page_cache_page() is called by FUSE code in its splice() handling.
  Here, 'newpage' is replacing oldpage but this newpage is not a newly allocated
  page and may be on LRU. LRU mis-accounting will be critical for memory cgroup
  because rmdir() checks the whole LRU is empty and there is no account leak.
  If a page is on the other LRU than it should be, rmdir() will fail.

This bug was added in March 2011, but no bug report yet.  I guess there
are not many people who use memcg and FUSE at the same time with upstream
kernels.

The result of this bug is that admin cannot destroy a memcg because of
account leak.  So, no panic, no deadlock.  And, even if an active cgroup
exist, umount can succseed.  So no problem at shutdown.

f3f511e1ce net: fix sock_clone reference mismatch with tcp memcontrol
Sockets can also be created through sock_clone. Because it copies
all data in the sock structure, it also copies the memcg-related pointer,
and all should be fine. However, since we now use reference counts in
socket creation, we are left with some sockets that have no reference
counts. It matters when we destroy them, since it leads to a mismatch.

65c64ce8ee Partial revert "Basic kernel memory functionality for the Memory Controller"
This reverts commit e5671dfae5.

After a follow up discussion with Michal, it was agreed it would
be better to leave the kmem controller with just the tcp files,
deferring the behavior of the other general memory.kmem.* files
for a later time, when more caches are controlled. This is because
generic kmem files are not used by tcp accounting and it is
not clear how other slab caches would fit into the scheme.

We are reverting the original commit so we can track the reference.
Part of the patch is kept, because it was used by the later tcp
code. Conflicts are shown in the bottom. init/Kconfig is removed from
the revert entirely.

2f7ee5691e cgroup: introduce cgroup_taskset and use it in subsys->can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach()
Currently, there's no way to pass multiple tasks to cgroup_subsys
methods necessitating the need for separate per-process and per-task
methods.  This patch introduces cgroup_taskset which can be used to
pass multiple tasks and their associated cgroups to cgroup_subsys
methods.

Three methods - can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach() - are
converted to use cgroup_taskset.  This unifies passed parameters so
that all methods have access to all information.  Conversions in this
patchset are identical and don't introduce any behavior change.

-v2: documentation updated as per Paul Menage's suggestion.

e1aab161e0 socket: initial cgroup code.
The goal of this work is to move the memory pressure tcp
controls to a cgroup, instead of just relying on global
conditions.

To avoid excessive overhead in the network fast paths,
the code that accounts allocated memory to a cgroup is
hidden inside a static_branch(). This branch is patched out
until the first non-root cgroup is created. So when nobody
is using cgroups, even if it is mounted, no significant performance
penalty should be seen.

This patch handles the generic part of the code, and has nothing
tcp-specific.

a61ed3cec5 memcg: close race between charge and putback
There is a potential race between a thread charging a page and another
thread putting it back to the LRU list:

  charge:                         putback:
  SetPageCgroupUsed               SetPageLRU
  PageLRU && add to memcg LRU     PageCgroupUsed && add to memcg LRU

The order of setting one flag and checking the other is crucial, otherwise
the charge may observe !PageLRU while the putback observes !PageCgroupUsed
and the page is not linked to the memcg LRU at all.

Global memory pressure may fix this by trying to isolate and putback the
page for reclaim, where that putback would link it to the memcg LRU again.
 Without that, the memory cgroup is undeletable due to a charge whose
physical page can not be found and moved out.

9b272977e3 memcg: skip scanning active lists based on individual size
Reclaim decides to skip scanning an active list when the corresponding
inactive list is above a certain size in comparison to leave the assumed
working set alone while there are still enough reclaim candidates around.

The memcg implementation of comparing those lists instead reports whether
the whole memcg is low on the requested type of inactive pages,
considering all nodes and zones.

This can lead to an oversized active list not being scanned because of the
state of the other lists in the memcg, as well as an active list being
scanned while its corresponding inactive list has enough pages.

Not only is this wrong, it's also a scalability hazard, because the global
memory state over all nodes and zones has to be gathered for each memcg
and zone scanned.

Make these calculations purely based on the size of the two LRU lists
that are actually affected by the outcome of the decision.

185efc0f9a memcg: Revert "memcg: add memory.vmscan_stat"
Revert the post-3.0 commit 82f9d486e5 ("memcg: add
memory.vmscan_stat").

The implementation of per-memcg reclaim statistics violates how memcg
hierarchies usually behave: hierarchically.

The reclaim statistics are accounted to child memcgs and the parent
hitting the limit, but not to hierarchy levels in between.  Usually,
hierarchical statistics are perfectly recursive, with each level
representing the sum of itself and all its children.

Since this exports statistics to userspace, this may lead to confusion
and problems with changing things after the release, so revert it now,
we can try again later.

23751be009 memcg: fix hierarchical oom locking
Commit 79dfdaccd1 ("memcg: make oom_lock 0 and 1 based rather than
counter") tried to oom lock the hierarchy and roll back upon
encountering an already locked memcg.

The code is confused when it comes to detecting a locked memcg, though,
so it would fail and rollback after locking one memcg and encountering
an unlocked second one.

The result is that oom-locking hierarchies fails unconditionally and
that every oom killer invocation simply goes to sleep on the oom
waitqueue forever.  The tasks practically hang forever without anyone
intervening, possibly holding locks that trip up unrelated tasks, too.

5af12d0efd memcg: pin execution to current cpu while draining stock
Commit d1a05b6973 ("memcg do not try to drain per-cpu caches without
pages") added a drain_local_stock() call to a preemptible section.

The draining task looks up the cpu-local stock twice to set the
draining-flag, then to drain the stock and clear the flag again.  If the
task is migrated to a different CPU in between, noone will clear the
flag on the first stock and it will be forever undrainable.  Its charge
can not be recovered and the cgroup can not be deleted anymore.

Properly pin the task to the executing CPU while draining stocks.

This reverts commit 8521fc50d4.

The patch incorrectly assumes that using atomic FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE
bit operations is sufficient but that is not true.  Johannes Weiner has
reported a crash during parallel memory cgroup removal:

We are crashing because we try to dereference cached memcg when we are
checking whether we should wait for draining on the cache.  The cache is
already cleaned up, though.

There is also a theoretical chance that the cached memcg gets freed
between we test for the FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE and dereference it in
mem_cgroup_same_or_subtree:

        CPU0                    CPU1                         CPU2
  mem=stock->cached
  stock->cached=NULL
                              clear_bit
                                                        test_and_set_bit
  test_bit()                    ...
  <preempted>             mem_cgroup_destroy
  use after free

The percpu_charge_mutex protected from this race because sync draining
is exclusive.

It is safer to revert now and come up with a more parallel
implementation later.

aa3b189551 tmpfs: convert mem_cgroup shmem to radix-swap
Remove mem_cgroup_shmem_charge_fallback(): it was only required when we
had to move swappage to filecache with GFP_NOWAIT.

Remove the GFP_NOWAIT special case from mem_cgroup_cache_charge(), by
moving its call out from shmem_add_to_page_cache() to two of thats three
callers.  But leave it doing mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() on error:
although asymmetrical, it's easier for all 3 callers to handle.

These two changes would also be appropriate if anyone were to start
using shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() with GFP_NOWAIT.

Remove mem_cgroup_get_shmem_target(): mc_handle_file_pte() can test
radix_tree_exceptional_entry() to get what it needs for itself.

8521fc50d4 memcg: get rid of percpu_charge_mutex lock
percpu_charge_mutex protects from multiple simultaneous per-cpu charge
caches draining because we might end up having too many work items.  At
least this was the case until commit 26fe616844 ("memcg: fix percpu
cached charge draining frequency") when we introduced a more targeted
draining for async mode.

Now that also sync draining is targeted we can safely remove mutex
because we will not send more work than the current number of CPUs.
FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE protects from sending the same work multiple
times and stock->nr_pages == 0 protects from pointless sending a work if
there is obviously nothing to be done.  This is of course racy but we
can live with it as the race window is really small (we would have to
see FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE cleared while nr_pages would be still
non-zero).

The only remaining place where we can race is synchronous mode when we
rely on FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE test which might have been set by other
drainer on the same group but we should wait in that case as well.

d38144b7a5 memcg: unify sync and async per-cpu charge cache draining
Currently we have two ways how to drain per-CPU caches for charges.
drain_all_stock_sync will synchronously drain all caches while
drain_all_stock_async will asynchronously drain only those that refer to
a given memory cgroup or its subtree in hierarchy.  Targeted async
draining has been introduced by 26fe6168 (memcg: fix percpu cached
charge draining frequency) to reduce the cpu workers number.

sync draining is currently triggered only from mem_cgroup_force_empty
which is triggered only by userspace (mem_cgroup_force_empty_write) or
when a cgroup is removed (mem_cgroup_pre_destroy).  Although these are
not usually frequent operations it still makes some sense to do targeted
draining as well, especially if the box has many CPUs.

This patch unifies both methods to use the single code (drain_all_stock)
which relies on the original async implementation and just adds
flush_work to wait on all caches that are still under work for the sync
mode.  We are using FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE bit check to prevent from
waiting on a work that we haven't triggered.  Please note that both sync
and async functions are currently protected by percpu_charge_mutex so we
cannot race with other drainers.

d1a05b6973 memcg: do not try to drain per-cpu caches without pages
drain_all_stock_async tries to optimize a work to be done on the work
queue by excluding any work for the current CPU because it assumes that
the context we are called from already tried to charge from that cache
and it's failed so it must be empty already.

While the assumption is correct we can optimize it even more by checking
the current number of pages in the cache.  This will also reduce a work
on other CPUs with an empty stock.

For the current CPU we can simply call drain_local_stock rather than
deferring it to the work queue.

82f9d486e5 memcg: add memory.vmscan_stat
The commit log of 0ae5e89c60 ("memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim
in...") says it adds scanning stats to memory.stat file.  But it doesn't
because we considered we needed to make a concensus for such new APIs.

This patch is a trial to add memory.scan_stat. This shows
  - the number of scanned pages(total, anon, file)
  - the number of rotated pages(total, anon, file)
  - the number of freed pages(total, anon, file)
  - the number of elaplsed time (including sleep/pause time)

  for both of direct/soft reclaim.

The biggest difference with oringinal Ying's one is that this file
can be reset by some write, as

  # echo 0 ...../memory.scan_stat

Example of output is here. This is a result after make -j 6 kernel
under 300M limit.

total_xxxx is for hierarchy management.

This will be useful for further memcg developments and need to be
developped before we do some complicated rework on LRU/softlimit
management.

This patch adds a new struct memcg_scanrecord into scan_control struct.
sc->nr_scanned at el is not designed for exporting information.  For
example, nr_scanned is reset frequentrly and incremented +2 at scanning
mapped pages.

To avoid complexity, I added a new param in scan_control which is for
exporting scanning score.

108b6a7846 memcg: fix behavior of mem_cgroup_resize_limit()
Commit 22a668d7c3 ("memcg: fix behavior under memory.limit equals to
memsw.limit") introduced "memsw_is_minimum" flag, which becomes true
when mem_limit == memsw_limit.  The flag is checked at the beginning of
reclaim, and "noswap" is set if the flag is true, because using swap is
meaningless in this case.

This works well in most cases, but when we try to shrink mem_limit,
which is the same as memsw_limit now, we might fail to shrink mem_limit
because swap doesn't used.

This patch fixes this behavior by:
 - check MEM_CGROUP_RECLAIM_SHRINK at the begining of reclaim
 - If it is set, don't set "noswap" flag even if memsw_is_minimum is true.
