Those checks are unnecessary, because when the subsystem is disabled it can't be mounted, so those functions won't get called. The check is needed in functions which will be called in other places except cgroup. [hugh@veritas.com: further checking of disabled flag] Signed-off-by:

Because of remove refcnt patch, it's very rare case to that mem_cgroup_charge_common() is called against a page which is accounted. mem_cgroup_charge_common() is called when. 1. a page is added into file cache. 2. an anon page is _newly_ mapped. A racy case is that a newly-swapped-in anonymous page is referred from prural threads in do_swap_page() at the same time. (a page is not Locked when mem_cgroup_charge() is called from do_swap_page.) Another case is shmem. It charges its page before calling add_to_page_cache(). Then, mem_cgroup_charge_cache() is called twice. This case is handled in mem_cgroup_cache_charge(). But this check may be too hacky... Signed-off-by : KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Balbir Singh <balbir@in.ibm.com> Cc: "Eric W.

A new call, mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() is added for shmem handling and relacing non-standard usage of mem_cgroup_charge/uncharge. Now, shmem calls mem_cgroup_charge() just for reclaim some pages from mem_cgroup. In general, shmem is used by some process group and not for global resource (like file caches). So, it's reasonable to reclaim pages from mem_cgroup where shmem is mainly used.

This patch changes page migration under memory controller to use a different algorithm. (thanks to Christoph for new idea.) Before: - page_cgroup is migrated from an old page to a new page. After: - a new page is accounted , no reuse of page_cgroup. Pros: - We can avoid compliated lock depndencies and races in migration. Cons: - new param to mem_cgroup_charge_common(). - mem_cgroup_getref() is added for handling ref_cnt ping-pong. This version simplifies complicated lock dependency in page migraiton under memory resource controller. new refcnt sequence is following. a mapped page: prepage_migration() ..... +1 to NEW page try_to_unmap() ..... all refs to OLD page is gone. move_pages() ..... +1 to NEW page if page cache. remap... ..... all refs from *map* is added to NEW one. end_migration() ..... -1 to New page. page's mapcount + (page_is_cache) refs are added to NEW one.

Currently res_counter_write() is a raw file handler even though it's ultimately taking a number, since in some cases it wants to pre-process the string when converting it to a number. This patch converts res_counter_write() from a raw file handler to a write_string() handler; this allows some of the boilerplate copying/locking/checking to be removed, and simplies the cleanup path, since these functions are now performed by the cgroups framework.

remove_list/add_list uses page_cgroup_zoneinfo() in it. So, it's called twice before and after lock. mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(); lock(); mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(); .... unlock(); And address of mz never changes. This is not good. This patch fixes this behavior. Signed-off-by:

This is a very common requirement from people using the resource accounting facilities (not only memcgroup but also OpenVZ beancounters). They want to put the cgroup in an initial state without re-creating it. For example after re-configuring a group people want to observe how this new configuration fits the group needs without saving the previous failcnt value. Merge two resets into one mem_cgroup_reset() function to demonstrate how multiplexing work. Besides, I have plans to move the files, that correspond to res_counter to the res_counter.c file and somehow "import" them into controller. I don't know how to make it gracefully yet, but merging resets of max_usage and failcnt in one function will be there for sure. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:

Move the memory controller data structure page_cgroup to its own slab cache. It saves space on the system, allocations are not necessarily pushed to order of 2 and should provide performance benefits. Users who disable the memory controller can also double check that the memory controller is not allocating page_cgroup's. NOTE: Hugh Dickins brought up the issue of whether we want to mark page_cgroup as __GFP_MOVABLE or __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. I don't think there is an easy answer at the moment. page_cgroup's are associated with user pages, they can be reclaimed once the user page has been reclaimed, so it might make sense to mark them as __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. For now, I am leaving the marking to default values that the slab allocator uses. Signed-off-by:

Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner. This approach was suggested by Paul Menage. The advantage of this approach is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup can be determined. It also allows several control groups that are virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to mm_struct. A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource controller selects this config option. This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner changes. The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner. I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and helping me make it lighter and simpler. This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the MM_OWNER config turned on and off. After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem. Signed-off-by:

This should be N_NORMAL_MEMORY. N_NORMAL_MEMORY is "true" if a node has memory for the kernel. N_HIGH_MEMORY is "true" if a node has memory for HIGHMEM. (If CONFIG_HIGHMEM=n, always "true") This check is used for testing whether we can use kmalloc_node() on a node. Then, if there is a node which only contains HIGHMEM, the system will call kmalloc_node() which doesn't contain memory for the kernel. If it happens under SLUB, the kernel will panic. I think this only happens on x86_32-numa. Signed-off-by:

A boot option for the memory controller was discussed on lkml. It is a good idea to add it, since it saves memory for people who want to turn off the memory controller. By default the option is on for the following two reasons: 1. It provides compatibility with the current scheme where the memory controller turns on if the config option is enabled 2. It allows for wider testing of the memory controller, once the config option is enabled We still allow the create, destroy callbacks to succeed, since they are not aware of boot options. We do not populate the directory will memory resource controller specific files. Signed-off-by:

The check t->pid == t->pid is not the blessed way to check whether a task is a group leader. This is not about the code beautifulness only, but about pid namespaces fixes - both the tgid and the pid fields on the task_struct are (slowly :( ) becoming deprecated. Besides, the thread_group_leader() macro makes only one dereference :) Signed-off-by:

While testing force_empty, during an exit_mmap, __mem_cgroup_remove_list called from mem_cgroup_uncharge_page oopsed on a NULL pointer in the lru list. I couldn't see what racing tasks on other cpus were doing, but surmise that another must have been in mem_cgroup_charge_common on the same page, between its unlock_page_cgroup and spin_lock_irqsave near done (thanks to that kzalloc which I'd almost changed to a kmalloc). Normally such a race cannot happen, the ref_cnt prevents it, the final uncharge cannot race with the initial charge. But force_empty buggers the ref_cnt, that's what it's all about; and thereafter forced pages are vulnerable to races such as this (just think of a shared page also mapped into an mm of another mem_cgroup than that just emptied). And remain vulnerable until they're freed indefinitely later. This patch just fixes the oops by moving the unlock_page_cgroups down below adding to and removing from the list (only possible given the previous patch); and while we're at it, we might as well make it an invariant that page->page_cgroup is always set while pc is on lru. But this behaviour of force_empty seems highly unsatisfactory to me: why have a ref_cnt if we always have to cope with it being violated (as in the earlier page migration patch). We may prefer force_empty to move pages to an orphan mem_cgroup (could be the root, but better not), from which other cgroups could recover them; we might need to reverse the locking again; but no time now for such concerns.

As for force_empty, though this may not be the main topic here, mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() can be implemented simpler. It is possible to make the function just call mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() instead of releasing page_cgroups by itself. The tip is to call get_page() before invoking mem_cgroup_uncharge_page(), so the page won't be released during this function. Kamezawa-san points out that by the time mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() uncharges, the page might have been reassigned to an lru of a different mem_cgroup, and now be emptied from that; but Hugh claims that's okay, the end state is the same as when it hasn't gone to another list. And once force_empty stops taking lock_page_cgroup within mz->lru_lock, mem_cgroup_move_lists() can be simplified to take mz->lru_lock directly while holding page_cgroup lock (but still has to use try_lock_page_cgroup).

Ever since the VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) (now Bad page state) went into page freeing, I've hit it from time to time in testing on some machines, sometimes only after many days. Recently found a machine which could usually produce it within a few hours, which got me there at last. The culprit is mem_cgroup_move_lists, whose locking is inadequate; and the arrangement of structures was such that you got page_cgroups from the lru list neatly put on to SLUB's freelist. Kamezawa-san identified the same hole independently. The main problem was that it was missing the lock_page_cgroup it needs to safely page_get_page_cgroup; but it's tricky to go beyond that too, and I couldn't do it with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU as I'd expected. See the code for comments on the constraints. This patch immediately gets replaced by a simpler one from Hirokazu-san; but is it just foolish pride that tells me to put this one on record, in case we need to come back to it later? Signed-off-by:

mem_cgroup_uncharge_page does css_put on the mem_cgroup before uncharging from it, and before removing page_cgroup from one of its lru lists: isn't there a danger that struct mem_cgroup memory could be freed and reused before completing that, so corrupting something? Never seen it, and for all I know there may be other constraints which make it impossible; but let's be defensive and reverse the ordering there. mem_cgroup_force_empty_list is safe because there's an extra css_get around all its works; but even so, change its ordering the same way round, to help get in the habit of doing it like this.

Remove clear_page_cgroup: it's an unhelpful helper, see for example how mem_cgroup_uncharge_page had to unlock_page_cgroup just in order to call it (serious races from that? I'm not sure). Once that's gone, you can see it's pointless for page_cgroup's ref_cnt to be atomic: it's always manipulated under lock_page_cgroup, except where force_empty unilaterally reset it to 0 (and how does uncharge's atomic_dec_and_test protect against that?). Simplify this page_cgroup locking: if you've got the lock and the pc is attached, then the ref_cnt must be positive: VM_BUG_ONs to check that, and to check that pc->page matches page (we're on the way to finding why sometimes it doesn't, but this patch doesn't fix that).

More cleanup to memcontrol.c, this time changing some of the code generated. Let the compiler decide what to inline (except for page_cgroup_locked which is only used when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM): the __always_inline on lock_page_cgroup etc. was quite a waste since bit_spin_lock etc. are inlines in a header file; made mem_cgroup_force_empty and mem_cgroup_write_strategy static.

Nothing uses mem_cgroup_uncharge apart from mem_cgroup_uncharge_page, (a trivial wrapper around it) and mem_cgroup_end_migration (which does the same as mem_cgroup_uncharge_page). And it often ends up having to lock just to let its caller unlock. Remove it (but leave the silly locking until a later patch).

My memcgroup patch to fix hang with shmem/tmpfs added NULL page handling to mem_cgroup_charge_common. It seemed convenient at the time, but hard to justify now: there's a perfectly appropriate swappage to charge and uncharge instead, this is not on any hot path through shmem_getpage, and no performance hit was observed from the slight extra overhead. So revert that NULL page handling from mem_cgroup_charge_common; and make it clearer by bringing page_cgroup_assign_new_page_cgroup into its body - that was a helper I found more of a hindrance to understanding.

Replace free_hot_cold_page's VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) by a "Bad page state" and clear: most users don't have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM on, and if it were set here, it'd likely cause corruption when the page is reused. Don't use page_assign_page_cgroup to clear it: that should be private to memcontrol.c, and always called with the lock taken; and memmap_init_zone doesn't need it either - like page->mapping and other pointers throughout the kernel, Linux assumes pointers in zeroed structures are NULL pointers. Instead use page_reset_bad_cgroup, added to memcontrol.h for this only. Signed-off-by:
