loop: use aio to perform io on the underlying file
This uses the new kernel aio interface to process loopback IO by
submitting concurrent direct aio. Previously loop's IO was serialized
by synchronous processing in a thread.
The aio operations specify the memory for the IO with the bio_vec arrays
directly instead of mappings of the pages.
The use of aio operations is enabled when the backing file supports the
read_iter, write_iter and direct_IO methods.

This adds iocb cmds which specify that memory is held in iov_iter

fs: pull iov_iter use higher up the stack
Right now only callers of generic_perform_write() pack their iovec
arguments into an iov_iter structure. All the callers higher up in the
stack work on raw iovec arguments.
This patch introduces the use of the iov_iter abstraction higher up the
stack. Private generic path functions are changed to operation on
iov_iter instead of on raw iovecs. Exported interfaces that take iovecs
immediately pack their arguments into an iov_iter and call into the
shared functions.
File operation struct functions are added with iov_iter as an argument
so that callers to the generic file system functions can specify
abstract memory rather than iovec arrays only.
Almost all of this patch only transforms arguments and shouldn't change
functionality. The buffered read path is the exception. We add a
read_actor function which uses the iov_iter helper functions instead of
operating on each individual iovec element. This may improve
performance as the iov_iter helper can copy multiple iovec elements from
one mapped page cache page.
As always, the direct IO path is special. Sadly, it may still be
cleanest to have it work on the underlying memory structures directly
instead of working through the iov_iter abstraction.

partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit

This introduces helper functions to make sure everything follows the
proper dcache d_lru list rules: the dentry cache is complicated by the
fact that some of the hotpaths don't even want to look at the LRU list
at all, and the fact that we use the same list entry in the dentry for
both the LRU list and for our temporary shrinking lists when removing
things from the LRU.
The helper functions temporarily have some extra sanity checking for the
flag bits that have to match the current LRU state of the dentry. We'll
remove that before the final 3.12 release, but considering how easy it
is to get wrong, this first cleanup version has some very particular
sanity checking.

cifs: Avoid calling unlock_page() twice in cifs_readpage() when using fscache
When reading a single page with cifs_readpage(), we make a call to
fscache_read_or_alloc_page() which once done, asynchronously calls
the completion function cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete(). This
completion function unlocks the page once it has been populated from
cache. The module then attempts to unlock the page a second time in
cifs_readpage() which leads to warning messages.
In case of a successful call to fscache_read_or_alloc_page() we should skip
the second unlock_page() since this will be called by the
cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete() once the page has been populated by
fscache.
With the modifications to cifs_readpage_worker(), we will need to re-grab the
page lock in cifs_write_begin().
The problem was first noticed when testing new fscache patches for cifs.

This change complements commit d0da7c002f7b2a93582187a9e3f73891a01d8ee4
and brings clear_ioasic_irq back, renaming it to clear_ioasic_dma_irq at
the same time, to make I/O ASIC DMA interrupts functional.
Unlike ordinary I/O ASIC interrupts DMA interrupts need to be deasserted
by software by writing 0 to the respective bit in I/O ASIC's System
Interrupt Register (SIR), similarly to how CP0.Cause.IP0 and CP0.Cause.IP1
bits are handled in the CPU (the difference is SIR DMA interrupt bits are
R/W0C so there's no need for an RMW cycle). Otherwise the handler is
reentered over and over again.
The only current user is the DEC LANCE Ethernet driver and its extremely
uncommon DMA memory error handler that does not care when exactly the
interrupt is cleared. Anticipating the use of DMA interrupts by the Zilog
SCC driver this change however exports clear_ioasic_dma_irq for device
drivers to choose the right application-specific sequence to clear the
request explicitly rather than calling it implicitly in the .irq_eoi
handler of `struct irq_chip'. Previously these interrupts were cleared in
the .end handler of the said structure, before it was removed.

Not all I/O ASIC versions have the free-running counter implemented, an
early revision used in the 5000/1xx models aka 3MIN and 4MIN did not have
it. Therefore we cannot unconditionally use it as a clock source.
Fortunately if not implemented its register slot has a fixed value so it
is enough if we check for the value at the end of the calibration period
being the same as at the beginning.
This also means we need to look for another high-precision clock source on
the systems affected. The 5000/1xx can have an R4000SC processor
installed where the CP0 Count register can be used as a clock source.
Unfortunately all the R4k DECstations suffer from the missed timer
interrupt on CP0 Count reads erratum, so we cannot use the CP0 timer as a
clock source and a clock event both at a time. However we never need an
R4k clock event device because all DECstations have a DS1287A RTC chip
whose periodic interrupt can be used as a clock source.
This gives us the following four configuration possibilities for I/O ASIC
DECstations:
1. No I/O ASIC counter and no CP0 timer, e.g. R3k 5000/1xx (3MIN).
2. No I/O ASIC counter but the CP0 timer, i.e. R4k 5000/150 (4MIN).
3. The I/O ASIC counter but no CP0 timer, e.g. R3k 5000/240 (3MAX+).
4. The I/O ASIC counter and the CP0 timer, e.g. R4k 5000/260 (4MAX+).
For #1 and #2 this change stops the I/O ASIC free-running counter from
being installed as a clock source of a 0Hz frequency. For #2 it also
arranges for the CP0 timer to be used as a clock source rather than a
clock event device, because having an accurate wall clock is more
important than a high-precision interval timer. For #3 there is no
change. For #4 the change makes the I/O ASIC free-running counter
installed as a clock source so that the CP0 timer can be used as a clock
event device.
Unfortunately the use of the CP0 timer as a clock event device relies on a
succesful completion of c0_compare_interrupt. That never happens, because
while waiting for a CP0 Compare interrupt to happen the function spins in
a loop reading the CP0 Count register. This makes the CP0 Count erratum
trigger reliably causing the interrupt waited for to be lost in all cases.
As a result #4 resorts to using the CP0 timer as a clock source as well,
just as #2. However we want to keep this separate arrangement in case
(hope) c0_compare_interrupt is eventually rewritten such that it avoids
the erratum.

Add memcg routines to count writeback pages, later dirty pages will also
be accounted.
After Kame's commit 89c06bd52fb9 ("memcg: use new logic for page stat
accounting"), we can use 'struct page' flag to test page state instead
of per page_cgroup flag. But memcg has a feature to move a page from a
cgroup to another one and may have race between "move" and "page stat
accounting". So in order to avoid the race we have designed a new lock:
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
modify page information -->(a)
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() -->(b)
mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat()
It requires both (a) and (b)(writeback pages accounting) to be pretected
in mem_cgroup_{begin/end}_update_page_stat(). It's full no-op for
!CONFIG_MEMCG, almost no-op if memcg is disabled (but compiled in), rcu
read lock in the most cases (no task is moving), and spin_lock_irqsave
on top in the slow path.
There're two writeback interfaces to modify: test_{clear/set}_page_writeback().
And the lock order is:
--> memcg->move_lock
--> mapping->tree_lock
memcg: check for proper lock held in mem_cgroup_update_page_stat
We should call mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() before
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() to get proper locks, however the latter
doesn't do any checking that we use proper locking, which would be hard.
Suggested by Michal Hock we could at least test for rcu_read_lock_held()
because RCU is held if !mem_cgroup_disabled().
While accounting memcg page stat, it's not worth to use
MEMCG_NR_FILE_MAPPED as an extra layer of indirection because of the
complexity and presumed performance overhead. We can use
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_FILE_MAPPED directly.
Since PAGE_ALIGN is aligning up(the next page boundary), so after
PAGE_ALIGN, the value might be overflow, such as write the MAX value to
*.limit_in_bytes.
Some user programs might depend on such behaviours(like libcg, we read
the value in snapshot, then use the value to reset cgroup later), and
that will cause confusion. So we need to fix it.

mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full callstack on OOM
The memcg OOM handling is incredibly fragile and can deadlock. When a
task fails to charge memory, it invokes the OOM killer and loops right
there in the charge code until it succeeds. Comparably, any other task
that enters the charge path at this point will go to a waitqueue right
then and there and sleep until the OOM situation is resolved. The problem
is that these tasks may hold filesystem locks and the mmap_sem; locks that
the selected OOM victim may need to exit.
For example, in one reported case, the task invoking the OOM killer was
about to charge a page cache page during a write(), which holds the
i_mutex. The OOM killer selected a task that was just entering truncate()
and trying to acquire the i_mutex:
The OOM handling task will retry the charge indefinitely while the OOM
killed task is not releasing any resources.
A similar scenario can happen when the kernel OOM killer for a memcg is
disabled and a userspace task is in charge of resolving OOM situations.
In this case, ALL tasks that enter the OOM path will be made to sleep on
the OOM waitqueue and wait for userspace to free resources or increase
the group's limit. But a userspace OOM handler is prone to deadlock
itself on the locks held by the waiting tasks. For example one of the
sleeping tasks may be stuck in a brk() call with the mmap_sem held for
writing but the userspace handler, in order to pick an optimal victim,
may need to read files from /proc/<pid>, which tries to acquire the same
mmap_sem for reading and deadlocks.
This patch changes the way tasks behave after detecting a memcg OOM and
makes sure nobody loops or sleeps with locks held:
1. When OOMing in a user fault, invoke the OOM killer and restart the
fault instead of looping on the charge attempt. This way, the OOM
victim can not get stuck on locks the looping task may hold.
2. When OOMing in a user fault but somebody else is handling it
(either the kernel OOM killer or a userspace handler), don't go to
sleep in the charge context. Instead, remember the OOMing memcg in
the task struct and then fully unwind the page fault stack with
-ENOMEM. pagefault_out_of_memory() will then call back into the
memcg code to check if the -ENOMEM came from the memcg, and then
either put the task to sleep on the memcg's OOM waitqueue or just
restart the fault. The OOM victim can no longer get stuck on any
lock a sleeping task may hold.

mm: memcg: rework and document OOM waiting and wakeup
The memcg OOM handler open-codes a sleeping lock for OOM serialization
(trylock, wait, repeat) because the required locking is so specific to
memcg hierarchies. However, it would be nice if this construct would be
clearly recognizable and not be as obfuscated as it is right now. Clean
up as follows:
1. Remove the return value of mem_cgroup_oom_unlock()
2. Rename mem_cgroup_oom_lock() to mem_cgroup_oom_trylock().
3. Pull the prepare_to_wait() out of the memcg_oom_lock scope. This
makes it more obvious that the task has to be on the waitqueue
before attempting to OOM-trylock the hierarchy, to not miss any
wakeups before going to sleep. It just didn't matter until now
because it was all lumped together into the global memcg_oom_lock
spinlock section.
4. Pull the mem_cgroup_oom_notify() out of the memcg_oom_lock scope.
It is proctected by the hierarchical OOM-lock.
5. The memcg_oom_lock spinlock is only required to propagate the OOM
lock in any given hierarchy atomically. Restrict its scope to
mem_cgroup_oom_(trylock|unlock).
6. Do not wake up the waitqueue unconditionally at the end of the
function. Only the lockholder has to wake up the next in line
after releasing the lock.
Note that the lockholder kicks off the OOM-killer, which in turn
leads to wakeups from the uncharges of the exiting task. But a
contender is not guaranteed to see them if it enters the OOM path
after the OOM kills but before the lockholder releases the lock.
Thus there has to be an explicit wakeup after releasing the lock.
7. Put the OOM task on the waitqueue before marking the hierarchy as
under OOM as that is the point where we start to receive wakeups.
No point in listening before being on the waitqueue.
8. Likewise, unmark the hierarchy before finishing the sleep, for
symmetry.

x86: finish user fault error path with fatal signal

Shortcutting the fault like this is a rather minor optimization that

arch: mm: remove obsolete init OOM protection
The memcg code can trap tasks in the context of the failing allocation
until an OOM situation is resolved. They can hold all kinds of locks
(fs, mm) at this point, which makes it prone to deadlocking.
This series converts memcg OOM handling into a two step process that is
started in the charge context, but any waiting is done after the fault
stack is fully unwound.
Patches 1-4 prepare architecture handlers to support the new memcg
requirements, but in doing so they also remove old cruft and unify
out-of-memory behavior across architectures.
Patch 5 disables the memcg OOM handling for syscalls, readahead, kernel
faults, because they can gracefully unwind the stack with -ENOMEM. OOM
handling is restricted to user triggered faults that have no other
option.
Patch 6 reworks memcg's hierarchical OOM locking to make it a little
more obvious wth is going on in there: reduce locked regions, rename
locking functions, reorder and document.
Patch 7 implements the two-part OOM handling such that tasks are never
trapped with the full charge stack in an OOM situation.
This patch:
Back before smart OOM killing, when faulting tasks were killed directly on
allocation failures, the arch-specific fault handlers needed special
protection for the init process.
Now that all fault handlers call into the generic OOM killer (see commit 609838cfed97: "mm: invoke oom-killer from remaining unconverted page
fault handlers"), which already provides init protection, the
arch-specific leftovers can be removed.

memcg, vmscan: do not fall into reclaim-all pass too quickly
shrink_zone starts with soft reclaim pass first and then falls back to
regular reclaim if nothing has been scanned. This behavior is natural
but there is a catch. Memcg iterators, when used with the reclaim
cookie, are designed to help to prevent from over reclaim by
interleaving reclaimers (per node-zone-priority) so the tree walk might
miss many (even all) nodes in the hierarchy e.g. when there are direct
reclaimers racing with each other or with kswapd in the global case or
multiple allocators reaching the limit for the target reclaim case. To
make it even more complicated, targeted reclaim doesn't do the whole
tree walk because it stops reclaiming once it reclaims sufficient pages.
As a result groups over the limit might be missed, thus nothing is
scanned, and reclaim would fall back to the reclaim all mode.
This patch checks for the incomplete tree walk in shrink_zone. If no
group has been visited and the hierarchy is soft reclaimable then we
must have missed some groups, in which case the __shrink_zone is called
again. This doesn't guarantee there will be some progress of course
because the current reclaimer might be still racing with others but it
would at least give a chance to start the walk without a big risk of
reclaim latencies.

memcg: track all children over limit in the root
Children in soft limit excess are currently tracked up the hierarchy in
memcg->children_in_excess. Nevertheless there still might exist tons of
groups that are not in hierarchy relation to the root cgroup (e.g. all
first level groups if root_mem_cgroup->use_hierarchy == false).
As the whole tree walk has to be done when the iteration starts at
root_mem_cgroup the iterator should be able to skip the walk if there is
no child above the limit without iterating them. This can be done
easily if the root tracks all children rather than only hierarchical
children. This is done by this patch which updates root_mem_cgroup
children_in_excess if root_mem_cgroup->use_hierarchy == false so the
root knows about all children in excess.
Please note that this is not an issue for inner memcgs which have
use_hierarchy == false because then only the single group is visited so
no special optimization is necessary.

memcg: track children in soft limit excess to improve soft limit
Soft limit reclaim has to check the whole reclaim hierarchy while doing
the first pass of the reclaim. This leads to a higher system time which
can be visible especially when there are many groups in the hierarchy.
This patch adds a per-memcg counter of children in excess. It also
restores MEM_CGROUP_TARGET_SOFTLIMIT into mem_cgroup_event_ratelimit for a
proper batching.
If a group crosses soft limit for the first time it increases parent's
children_in_excess up the hierarchy. The similarly if a group gets below
the limit it will decrease the counter. The transition phase is recorded
in soft_contributed flag.
mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible then uses this information to better
decide whether to skip the node or the whole subtree. The rule is simple.
Skip the node with a children in excess or skip the whole subtree
otherwise.
This has been tested by a stream IO (dd if=/dev/zero of=file with
4*MemTotal size) which is quite sensitive to overhead during reclaim. The
load is running in a group with soft limit set to 0 and without any limit.
Apart from that there was a hierarchy with ~500, 2k and 8k groups (two
groups on each level) without any pages in them. base denotes to the
kernel on which the whole series is based on, rework is the kernel before
this patch and reworkoptim is with this patch applied:
System time is increased by 30-40% but it is reduced a lot comparing to
kernel without this patch. The higher time can be explained by the fact
that the original soft reclaim scanned at priority 0 so it was much more
effective for this workload (which is basically touch once and writeback).
The Elapsed time looks better though (~20%).
Both System and Elapsed are in stdev with the base kernel for all
configurations except for 8k where both System and Elapsed are up by 35%.
I do not have a good explanation for this because there is no soft reclaim
pass going on as no group is above the limit which is checked in
mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim.
Then I have tested kernel build with the same configuration to see the
behavior with a more general behavior.

memcg: enhance memcg iterator to support predicates
The caller of the iterator might know that some nodes or even subtrees
should be skipped but there is no way to tell iterators about that so the
only choice left is to let iterators to visit each node and do the
selection outside of the iterating code. This, however, doesn't scale
well with hierarchies with many groups where only few groups are
interesting.
This patch adds mem_cgroup_iter_cond variant of the iterator with a
callback which gets called for every visited node. There are three
possible ways how the callback can influence the walk. Either the node is
visited, it is skipped but the tree walk continues down the tree or the
whole subtree of the current group is skipped.

vmscan, memcg: do softlimit reclaim also for targeted reclaim
Soft reclaim has been done only for the global reclaim (both background
and direct). Since "memcg: integrate soft reclaim tighter with zone
shrinking code" there is no reason for this limitation anymore as the soft
limit reclaim doesn't use any special code paths and it is a part of the
zone shrinking code which is used by both global and targeted reclaims.
From the semantic point of view it is natural to consider soft limit
before touching all groups in the hierarchy tree which is touching the
hard limit because soft limit tells us where to push back when there is a
memory pressure. It is not important whether the pressure comes from the
limit or imbalanced zones.
This patch simply enables soft reclaim unconditionally in
mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim so it is enabled for both global and
targeted reclaim paths. mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible needs to learn
about the root of the reclaim to know where to stop checking soft limit
state of parents up the hierarchy. Say we have
A (over soft limit)
\
B (below s.l., hit the hard limit)
/ \
C D (below s.l.)
B is the source of the outside memory pressure now for D but we shouldn't
soft reclaim it because it is behaving well under B subtree and we can
still reclaim from C (pressumably it is over the limit).
mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible should therefore stop climbing up the
hierarchy at B (root of the memory pressure).

memcg, vmscan: integrate soft reclaim tighter with zone shrinking code
This patchset is sitting out of tree for quite some time without any
objections. I would be really happy if it made it into 3.12. I do not
want to push it too hard but I think this work is basically ready and
waiting more doesn't help.
The basic idea is quite simple. Pull soft reclaim into shrink_zone in the
first step and get rid of the previous soft reclaim infrastructure.
shrink_zone is done in two passes now. First it tries to do the soft
limit reclaim and it falls back to reclaim-all mode if no group is over
the limit or no pages have been scanned. The second pass happens at the
same priority so the only time we waste is the memcg tree walk which has
been updated in the third step to have only negligible overhead.
As a bonus we will get rid of a _lot_ of code by this and soft reclaim
will not stand out like before when it wasn't integrated into the zone
shrinking code and it reclaimed at priority 0 (the testing results show
that some workloads suffers from such an aggressive reclaim). The clean
up is in a separate patch because I felt it would be easier to review that
way.
The second step is soft limit reclaim integration into targeted reclaim.
It should be rather straight forward. Soft limit has been used only for
the global reclaim so far but it makes sense for any kind of pressure
coming from up-the-hierarchy, including targeted reclaim.
The third step (patches 4-8) addresses the tree walk overhead by enhancing
memcg iterators to enable skipping whole subtrees and tracking number of
over soft limit children at each level of the hierarchy. This information
is updated same way the old soft limit tree was updated (from
memcg_check_events) so we shouldn't see an additional overhead. In fact
mem_cgroup_update_soft_limit is much simpler than tree manipulation done
previously.
__shrink_zone uses mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible as a predicate for
mem_cgroup_iter so the decision whether a particular group should be
visited is done at the iterator level which allows us to decide to skip
the whole subtree as well (if there is no child in excess). This reduces
the tree walk overhead considerably.
* TEST 1
========
My primary test case was a parallel kernel build with 2 groups (make is
running with -j8 with a distribution .config in a separate cgroup without
any hard limit) on a 32 CPU machine booted with 1GB memory and both builds
run taskset to Node 0 cpus.
I was mostly interested in 2 setups. Default - no soft limit set and -
and 0 soft limit set to both groups. The first one should tell us whether
the rework regresses the default behavior while the second one should show
us improvements in an extreme case where both workloads are always over
the soft limit.
/usr/bin/time -v has been used to collect the statistics and each
configuration had 3 runs after fresh boot without any other load on the
system.
base is mmotm-2013-07-18-16-40
rework all 8 patches applied on top of base
The improvement is really huge here (even bigger than with my previous
testing and I suspect that this highly depends on the storage). Page
fault statistics tell us at least part of the story:
Same as with my previous testing Minor faults are more or less within
noise but Major fault count is way bellow the base kernel.
While this looks as a nice win it is fair to say that 0-limit
configuration is quite artificial. So I was playing with 0-no-limit
loads as well.
* TEST 2
========
The following results are from 2 groups configuration on a 16GB machine
(single NUMA node).
- A running stream IO (dd if=/dev/zero of=local.file bs=1024) with
2*TotalMem with 0 soft limit.
- B running a mem_eater which consumes TotalMem-1G without any limit. The
mem_eater consumes the memory in 100 chunks with 1s nap after each
mmap+poppulate so that both loads have chance to fight for the memory.
The expected result is that B shouldn't be reclaimed and A shouldn't see
a big dropdown in elapsed time.
System time improved slightly as well as Elapsed. My previous testing
has shown worse numbers but this again seem to depend on the storage
speed.
My theory is that the writeback doesn't catch up and prio-0 soft reclaim
falls into wait on writeback page too often in the base kernel. The
patched kernel doesn't do that because the soft reclaim is done from the
kswapd/direct reclaim context. This can be seen on the following graph
nicely. The A's group usage_in_bytes regurarly drops really low very often.
All 3 runs
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/stream.png
resp. a detail of the single run
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/stream-one-run.png
mem_eater seems to be doing better as well. It gets to the full
allocation size faster as can be seen on the following graph:
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/mem_eater-one-run.png
/proc/meminfo collected during the test also shows that rework kernel
hasn't swapped that much (well almost not at all):
base: max: 123900 K avg: 56388.29 K
rework: max: 300 K avg: 128.68 K
kswapd and direct reclaim statistics are of no use unfortunatelly because
soft reclaim is not accounted properly as the counters are hidden by
global_reclaim() checks in the base kernel.
* TEST 3
========
Another test was the same configuration as TEST2 except the stream IO was
replaced by a single kbuild (16 parallel jobs bound to Node0 cpus same as
in TEST1) and mem_eater allocated TotalMem-200M so kbuild had only 200MB
left.
Again we can see a significant improvement in Elapsed (it also seems to
be more stable), there is a huge dropdown for the Major page faults and
much more swapping:
base: max: 583736 K avg: 112547.43 K
rework: max: 4012 K avg: 124.36 K
Graphs from all three runs show the variability of the kbuild quite
nicely. It even seems that it took longer after every run with the base
kernel which would be quite surprising as the source tree for the build is
removed and caches are dropped after each run so the build operates on a
freshly extracted sources everytime.
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/kbuild-mem_eater.png
My other testing shows that this is just a matter of timing and other runs
behave differently the std for Elapsed time is similar ~50. Example of
other three runs:
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/kbuild-mem_eater2.png
So to wrap this up. The series is still doing good and improves the soft
limit.
The testing results for bunch of cgroups with both stream IO and kbuild
loads can be found in "memcg: track children in soft limit excess to
improve soft limit".
This patch:
Memcg soft reclaim has been traditionally triggered from the global
reclaim paths before calling shrink_zone. mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim
then picked up a group which exceeds the soft limit the most and reclaimed
it with 0 priority to reclaim at least SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages.
The infrastructure requires per-node-zone trees which hold over-limit
groups and keep them up-to-date (via memcg_check_events) which is not cost
free. Although this overhead hasn't turned out to be a bottle neck the
implementation is suboptimal because mem_cgroup_update_tree has no idea
which zones consumed memory over the limit so we could easily end up
having a group on a node-zone tree having only few pages from that
node-zone.
This patch doesn't try to fix node-zone trees management because it seems
that integrating soft reclaim into zone shrinking sounds much easier and
more appropriate for several reasons. First of all 0 priority reclaim was
a crude hack which might lead to big stalls if the group's LRUs are big
and hard to reclaim (e.g. a lot of dirty/writeback pages). Soft reclaim
should be applicable also to the targeted reclaim which is awkward right
now without additional hacks. Last but not least the whole infrastructure
eats quite some code.
After this patch shrink_zone is done in 2 passes. First it tries to do
the soft reclaim if appropriate (only for global reclaim for now to keep
compatible with the original state) and fall back to ignoring soft limit
if no group is eligible to soft reclaim or nothing has been scanned during
the first pass. Only groups which are over their soft limit or any of
their parents up the hierarchy is over the limit are considered eligible
during the first pass.
Soft limit tree which is not necessary anymore will be removed in the
follow up patch to make this patch smaller and easier to review.
