The struct memcg_vmstats and struct memcg_vmstats_percpu contains two
arrays each for events of size NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS which can be as large as
110. However the memcg v1 only uses 4 of those while memcg v2 uses 15.
The union of both is 17. On a 64 bit system, we are wasting approximately
((110 - 17) * 8 * 2) * (nr_cpus + 1) bytes which is significant on large
machines.
This patch reduces the size of the given structures by adding one
indirection and only stores array of events which are actually used by the
memcg code. With this patch, the size of memcg_vmstats has reduced from
2544 bytes to 1056 bytes while the size of memcg_vmstats_percpu has
reduced from 2568 bytes to 1080 bytes.

Patch series "memcg: reduce memory overhead of memory cgroups".
Currently a lot of memory is wasted to maintain the vmevents for memory
cgroups as we have multiple arrays of size NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS which can be
as large as 110. However memcg code uses small portion of those entries.
This patch series eliminate this overhead by removing the unneeded vmevent
entries from memory cgroup data structures.
This patch (of 3):
This is a preparatory patch to reduce the memory overhead of memory
cgroup. The struct memcg_vmstats is the largest object embedded into the
struct mem_cgroup. This patch extracts struct memcg_vmstats from struct
mem_cgroup to ease the following patches in reducing the size of struct
memcg_vmstats.

To further exploit spatial locality, the aging prefers to walk page tables
to search for young PTEs and promote hot pages. A kill switch will be
added in the next patch to disable this behavior. When disabled, the
aging relies on the rmap only.
NB: this behavior has nothing similar with the page table scanning in the
2.4 kernel [1], which searches page tables for old PTEs, adds cold pages
to swapcache and unmaps them.
To avoid confusion, the term "iteration" specifically means the traversal
of an entire mm_struct list; the term "walk" will be applied to page
tables and the rmap, as usual.
An mm_struct list is maintained for each memcg, and an mm_struct follows
its owner task to the new memcg when this task is migrated. Given an
lruvec, the aging iterates lruvec_memcg()->mm_list and calls
walk_page_range() with each mm_struct on this list to promote hot pages
before it increments max_seq.
When multiple page table walkers iterate the same list, each of them gets
a unique mm_struct; therefore they can run concurrently. Page table
walkers ignore any misplaced pages, e.g., if an mm_struct was migrated,
pages it left in the previous memcg will not be promoted when its current
memcg is under reclaim. Similarly, page table walkers will not promote
pages from nodes other than the one under reclaim.
This patch uses the following optimizations when walking page tables:
1. It tracks the usage of mm_struct's between context switches so that
page table walkers can skip processes that have been sleeping since
the last iteration.
2. It uses generational Bloom filters to record populated branches so
that page table walkers can reduce their search space based on the
query results, e.g., to skip page tables containing mostly holes or
misplaced pages.
3. It takes advantage of the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries when
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG=y.
4. It does not zigzag between a PGD table and the same PMD table
spanning multiple VMAs. IOW, it finishes all the VMAs within the
range of the same PMD table before it returns to a PGD table. This
improves the cache performance for workloads that have large
numbers of tiny VMAs [2], especially when CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS=5.

Searching the rmap for PTEs mapping each page on an LRU list (to test and
clear the accessed bit) can be expensive because pages from different VMAs
(PA space) are not cache friendly to the rmap (VA space). For workloads
mostly using mapped pages, searching the rmap can incur the highest CPU
cost in the reclaim path.
This patch exploits spatial locality to reduce the trips into the rmap.
When shrink_page_list() walks the rmap and finds a young PTE, a new
function lru_gen_look_around() scans at most BITS_PER_LONG-1 adjacent
PTEs. On finding another young PTE, it clears the accessed bit and
updates the gen counter of the page mapped by this PTE to
(max_seq%MAX_NR_GENS)+1.

Evictable pages are divided into multiple generations for each lruvec.
The youngest generation number is stored in lrugen->max_seq for both
anon and file types as they are aged on an equal footing. The oldest
generation numbers are stored in lrugen->min_seq[] separately for anon
and file types as clean file pages can be evicted regardless of swap
constraints. These three variables are monotonically increasing.
Generation numbers are truncated into order_base_2(MAX_NR_GENS+1) bits
in order to fit into the gen counter in folio->flags. Each truncated
generation number is an index to lrugen->lists[]. The sliding window
technique is used to track at least MIN_NR_GENS and at most
MAX_NR_GENS generations. The gen counter stores a value within [1,
MAX_NR_GENS] while a page is on one of lrugen->lists[]. Otherwise it
stores 0.
There are two conceptually independent procedures: "the aging", which
produces young generations, and "the eviction", which consumes old
generations. They form a closed-loop system, i.e., "the page reclaim".
Both procedures can be invoked from userspace for the purposes of working
set estimation and proactive reclaim. These techniques are commonly used
to optimize job scheduling (bin packing) in data centers [1][2].
To avoid confusion, the terms "hot" and "cold" will be applied to the
multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "active" and "inactive" will
be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual.
The protection of hot pages and the selection of cold pages are based
on page access channels and patterns. There are two access channels:
one through page tables and the other through file descriptors. The
protection of the former channel is by design stronger because:
1. The uncertainty in determining the access patterns of the former
channel is higher due to the approximation of the accessed bit.
2. The cost of evicting the former channel is higher due to the TLB
flushes required and the likelihood of encountering the dirty bit.
3. The penalty of underprotecting the former channel is higher because
applications usually do not prepare themselves for major page
faults like they do for blocked I/O. E.g., GUI applications
commonly use dedicated I/O threads to avoid blocking rendering
threads.
There are also two access patterns: one with temporal locality and the
other without. For the reasons listed above, the former channel is
assumed to follow the former pattern unless VM_SEQ_READ or VM_RAND_READ is
present; the latter channel is assumed to follow the latter pattern unless
outlying refaults have been observed [3][4].
The next patch will address the "outlying refaults". Three macros, i.e.,
LRU_REFS_WIDTH, LRU_REFS_PGOFF and LRU_REFS_MASK, used later are added in
this patch to make the entire patchset less diffy.
A page is added to the youngest generation on faulting. The aging needs
to check the accessed bit at least twice before handing this page over to
the eviction. The first check takes care of the accessed bit set on the
initial fault; the second check makes sure this page has not been used
since then. This protocol, AKA second chance, requires a minimum of two
generations, hence MIN_NR_GENS.

Yafang Shao reported an issue related to the accounting of bpf memory:
if a bpf map is charged indirectly for memory consumed from an
interrupt context and allocations are enforced, MEMCG_MAX events are
not raised.
It's not/less of an issue in a generic case because consequent
allocations from a process context will trigger the direct reclaim and
MEMCG_MAX events will be raised. However a bpf map can belong to a
dying/abandoned memory cgroup, so there will be no allocations from a
process context and no MEMCG_MAX events will be triggered.

Patch series "mm: introduce shrinker debugfs interface", v5.
The only existing debugging mechanism is a couple of tracepoints in
do_shrink_slab(): mm_shrink_slab_start and mm_shrink_slab_end. They
aren't covering everything though: shrinkers which report 0 objects will
never show up, there is no support for memcg-aware shrinkers. Shrinkers
are identified by their scan function, which is not always enough (e.g.
hard to guess which super block's shrinker it is having only
"super_cache_scan").
To provide a better visibility and debug options for memory shrinkers this
patchset introduces a /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker interface, to some extent
similar to /sys/kernel/slab.
For each shrinker registered in the system a directory is created. As
now, the directory will contain only a "scan" file, which allows to get
the number of managed objects for each memory cgroup (for memcg-aware
shrinkers) and each numa node (for numa-aware shrinkers on a numa
machine). Other interfaces might be added in the future.
To make debugging more pleasant, the patchset also names all shrinkers, so
that debugfs entries can have meaningful names.
This patch (of 5):
Shrinker debugfs requires a way to represent memory cgroups without using
full paths, both for displaying information and getting input from a user.
Cgroup inode number is a perfect way, already used by bpf.
This commit adds a couple of helper functions which will be used to handle
memcg-aware shrinkers.

Applications can currently escape their cgroup memory containment when
zswap is enabled. This patch adds per-cgroup tracking and limiting of
zswap backend memory to rectify this.
The existing cgroup2 memory.stat file is extended to show zswap statistics
analogous to what's in meminfo and vmstat. Furthermore, two new control
files, memory.zswap.current and memory.zswap.max, are added to allow
tuning zswap usage on a per-workload basis. This is important since not
all workloads benefit from zswap equally; some even suffer compared to
disk swap when memory contents don't compress well. The optimal size of
the zswap pool, and the threshold for writeback, also depends on the size
of the workload's warm set.
The implementation doesn't use a traditional page_counter transaction.
zswap is unconventional as a memory consumer in that we only know the
amount of memory to charge once expensive compression has occurred. If
zwap is disabled or the limit is already exceeded we obviously don't want
to compress page upon page only to reject them all. Instead, the limit is
checked against current usage, then we compress and charge. This allows
some limit overrun, but not enough to matter in practice.

We run a lot of automated tests when building our software and run into
OOM scenarios when the tests run unbounded. v1 memcg exports
memcg->watermark as "memory.max_usage_in_bytes" in sysfs. We use this
metric to heuristically limit the number of tests that can run in parallel
based on per test historical data.
This metric is currently not exported for v2 memcg and there is no other
easy way of getting this information. getrusage() syscall returns
"ru_maxrss" which can be used as an approximation but that's the max RSS
of a single child process across all children instead of the aggregated
max for all child processes. The only work around is to periodically poll
"memory.current" but that's not practical for short-lived one-off cgroups.
Hence, expose memcg->watermark as "memory.peak" for v2 memcg.

Patch series "MM changes to improve swap-over-NFS support".
Assorted improvements for swap-via-filesystem.
This is a resend of these patches, rebased on current HEAD. The only
substantial changes is that swap_dirty_folio has replaced
swap_set_page_dirty.
Currently swap-via-fs (SWP_FS_OPS) doesn't work for any filesystem. It
has previously worked for NFS but that broke a few releases back. This
series changes to use a new ->swap_rw rather than ->readpage and
->direct_IO. It also makes other improvements.
There is a companion series already in linux-next which fixes various
issues with NFS. Once both series land, a final patch is needed which
changes NFS over to use ->swap_rw.
This patch (of 10):
Many functions declared in include/linux/swap.h are only used within mm/
Create a new "mm/swap.h" and move some of these declarations there.

This patch (of 4):
Introduce a memcg interface to trigger memory reclaim on a memory cgroup.
Use case: Proactive Reclaim
---------------------------
A userspace proactive reclaimer can continuously probe the memcg to
reclaim a small amount of memory. This gives more accurate and up-to-date
workingset estimation as the LRUs are continuously sorted and can
potentially provide more deterministic memory overcommit behavior. The
memory overcommit controller can provide more proactive response to the
changing behavior of the running applications instead of being reactive.
A userspace reclaimer's purpose in this case is not a complete replacement
for kswapd or direct reclaim, it is to proactively identify memory savings
opportunities and reclaim some amount of cold pages set by the policy to
free up the memory for more demanding jobs or scheduling new jobs.
A user space proactive reclaimer is used in Google data centers.
Additionally, Meta's TMO paper recently referenced a very similar
interface used for user space proactive reclaim:
https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3503222.3507731
Benefits of a user space reclaimer:
-----------------------------------
1) More flexible on who should be charged for the cpu of the memory
reclaim. For proactive reclaim, it makes more sense to be centralized.
2) More flexible on dedicating the resources (like cpu). The memory
overcommit controller can balance the cost between the cpu usage and
the memory reclaimed.
3) Provides a way to the applications to keep their LRUs sorted, so,
under memory pressure better reclaim candidates are selected. This
also gives more accurate and uptodate notion of working set for an
application.
Why memory.high is not enough?
------------------------------
- memory.high can be used to trigger reclaim in a memcg and can
potentially be used for proactive reclaim. However there is a big
downside in using memory.high. It can potentially introduce high
reclaim stalls in the target application as the allocations from the
processes or the threads of the application can hit the temporary
memory.high limit.
- Userspace proactive reclaimers usually use feedback loops to decide
how much memory to proactively reclaim from a workload. The metrics
used for this are usually either refaults or PSI, and these metrics will
become messy if the application gets throttled by hitting the high
limit.
- memory.high is a stateful interface, if the userspace proactive
reclaimer crashes for any reason while triggering reclaim it can leave
the application in a bad state.
- If a workload is rapidly expanding, setting memory.high to proactively
reclaim memory can result in actually reclaiming more memory than
intended.
The benefits of such interface and shortcomings of existing interface were
further discussed in this RFC thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/5df21376-7dd1-bf81-8414-32a73cea45dd@google.com/
Interface:
----------
Introducing a very simple memcg interface 'echo 10M > memory.reclaim' to
trigger reclaim in the target memory cgroup.
The interface is introduced as a nested-keyed file to allow for future
optional arguments to be easily added to configure the behavior of
reclaim.
Possible Extensions:
--------------------
- This interface can be extended with an additional parameter or flags
to allow specifying one or more types of memory to reclaim from (e.g.
file, anon, ..).
- The interface can also be extended with a node mask to reclaim from
specific nodes. This has use cases for reclaim-based demotion in memory
tiering systens.
- A similar per-node interface can also be added to support proactive
reclaim and reclaim-based demotion in systems without memcg.
- Add a timeout parameter to make it easier for user space to call the
interface without worrying about being blocked for an undefined amount
of time.
For now, let's keep things simple by adding the basic functionality.

Daniel Dao has reported [1] a regression on workloads that may trigger a
lot of refaults (anon and file). The underlying issue is that flushing
rstat is expensive. Although rstat flush are batched with (nr_cpus *
MEMCG_BATCH) stat updates, it seems like there are workloads which
genuinely do stat updates larger than batch value within short amount of
time. Since the rstat flush can happen in the performance critical
codepaths like page faults, such workload can suffer greatly.
This patch fixes this regression by making the rstat flushing
conditional in the performance critical codepaths. More specifically,
the kernel relies on the async periodic rstat flusher to flush the stats
and only if the periodic flusher is delayed by more than twice the
amount of its normal time window then the kernel allows rstat flushing
from the performance critical codepaths.
Now the question: what are the side-effects of this change? The worst
that can happen is the refault codepath will see 4sec old lruvec stats
and may cause false (or missed) activations of the refaulted page which
may under-or-overestimate the workingset size. Though that is not very
concerning as the kernel can already miss or do false activations.
There are two more codepaths whose flushing behavior is not changed by
this patch and we may need to come to them in future. One is the
writeback stats used by dirty throttling and second is the deactivation
heuristic in the reclaim. For now keeping an eye on them and if there
is report of regression due to these codepaths, we will reevaluate then.

Pull ptrace cleanups from Eric Biederman:
"This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
permission check to ptrace.c
The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was around
task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled making the
semantics clearer).
For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
bit at a time. To the point where anything left in tracehook.h was
some weird strange thing that was difficult to understand"

In our server, we found a suspected memory leak problem. The kmalloc-32
consumes more than 6GB of memory. Other kmem_caches consume less than
2GB memory.
After our in-depth analysis, the memory consumption of kmalloc-32 slab
cache is the cause of list_lru_one allocation.
crash> p memcg_nr_cache_ids
memcg_nr_cache_ids = $2 = 24574
memcg_nr_cache_ids is very large and memory consumption of each list_lru
can be calculated with the following formula.
num_numa_node * memcg_nr_cache_ids * 32 (kmalloc-32)
There are 4 numa nodes in our system, so each list_lru consumes ~3MB.
crash> list super_blocks | wc -l
952
Every mount will register 2 list lrus, one is for inode, another is for
dentry. There are 952 super_blocks. So the total memory is 952 * 2 * 3
MB (~5.6GB). But the number of memory cgroup is less than 500. So I
guess more than 12286 containers have been deployed on this machine (I do
not know why there are so many containers, it may be a user's bug or the
user really want to do that). And memcg_nr_cache_ids has not been reduced
to a suitable value. This can waste a lot of memory.
Now the infrastructure for dynamic list_lru_one allocation is ready, so
remove statically allocated memory code to save memory.

Before the for-each-CPU loop, preemption is disabled so that so that
drain_local_stock() can be invoked directly instead of scheduling a
worker. Ensuring that drain_local_stock() completed on the local CPU is
not correctness problem. It _could_ be that the charging path will be
forced to reclaim memory because cached charges are still waiting for
their draining.
Disabling preemption before invoking drain_local_stock() is problematic
on PREEMPT_RT due to the sleeping locks involved. To ensure that no CPU
migrations happens across for_each_online_cpu() it is enouhg to use
migrate_disable() which disables migration and keeps context preemptible
to a sleeping lock can be acquired. A race with CPU hotplug is not a
problem because pcp data is not going away. In the worst case we just
schedule draining of an empty stock.
Use migrate_disable() instead of get_cpu() around the
for_each_online_cpu() loop.
