[ Upstream commit 9a137153fc ]
The code in mc_handle_swap_pte() checks for non_swap_entry() and returns
NULL before checking is_device_private_entry() so device private pages are
never handled. Fix this by checking for non_swap_entry() after handling
device private swap PTEs.
I assume the memory cgroup accounting would be off somehow when moving
a process to another memory cgroup. Currently, the device private page
is charged like a normal anonymous page when allocated and is uncharged
when the page is freed so I think that path is OK.

[ Upstream commit abb242f571 ]
The move_lock is a per-memcg lock, but the VM accounting code that needs
to acquire it comes from the page and follows page->mem_cgroup under RCU
protection. That means that the page becomes unlocked not when we drop
the move_lock, but when we update page->mem_cgroup. And that assignment
doesn't imply any memory ordering. If that pointer write gets reordered
against the reads of the page state - page_mapped, PageDirty etc. the
state may change while we rely on it being stable and we can end up
corrupting the counters.
Place an SMP memory barrier to make sure we're done with all page state by
the time the new page->mem_cgroup becomes visible.
Also replace the open-coded move_lock with a lock_page_memcg() to make it
more obvious what we're serializing against.

commit 8d22a93510 upstream.
It was hard to keep a test running, moving tasks between memcgs with
move_charge_at_immigrate, while swapping: mem_cgroup_id_get_many()'s
refcount is discovered to be 0 (supposedly impossible), so it is then
forced to REFCOUNT_SATURATED, and after thousands of warnings in quick
succession, the test is at last put out of misery by being OOM killed.
This is because of the way moved_swap accounting was saved up until the
task move gets completed in __mem_cgroup_clear_mc(), deferred from when
mem_cgroup_move_swap_account() actually exchanged old and new ids.
Concurrent activity can free up swap quicker than the task is scanned,
bringing id refcount down 0 (which should only be possible when
offlining).
Just skip that optimization: do that part of the accounting immediately.

commit 11d6761218 upstream.
When I run my memcg testcase which creates lots of memcgs, I found
there're unexpected out of memory logs while there're still enough
available free memory. The error log is
mkdir: cannot create directory 'foo.65533': Cannot allocate memory
The reason is when we try to create more than MEM_CGROUP_ID_MAX memcgs,
an -ENOMEM errno will be set by mem_cgroup_css_alloc(), but the right
errno should be -ENOSPC "No space left on device", which is an
appropriate errno for userspace's failed mkdir.
As the errno really misled me, we should make it right. After this
patch, the error log will be
mkdir: cannot create directory 'foo.65533': No space left on device

commit 9b8b17541f upstream.
If a cgroup violates its memory.high constraints, we may end up unduly
penalising it. For example, for the following hierarchy:
A: max high, 20 usage
A/B: 9 high, 10 usage
A/C: max high, 10 usage
We would end up doing the following calculation below when calculating
high delay for A/B:
A/B: 10 - 9 = 1...
A: 20 - PAGE_COUNTER_MAX = 21, so set max_overage to 21.
This gets worse with higher disparities in usage in the parent.
I have no idea how this disappeared from the final version of the patch,
but it is certainly Not Good(tm). This wasn't obvious in testing because,
for a simple cgroup hierarchy with only one child, the result is usually
roughly the same. It's only in more complex hierarchies that things go
really awry (although still, the effects are limited to a maximum of 2
seconds in schedule_timeout_killable at a maximum).

commit 8380ce4790 upstream.
Depending on CONFIG_VMAP_STACK and the THREAD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE ratio the
space for task stacks can be allocated using __vmalloc_node_range(),
alloc_pages_node() and kmem_cache_alloc_node().
In the first and the second cases page->mem_cgroup pointer is set, but
in the third it's not: memcg membership of a slab page should be
determined using the memcg_from_slab_page() function, which looks at
page->slab_cache->memcg_params.memcg . In this case, using
mod_memcg_page_state() (as in account_kernel_stack()) is incorrect:
page->mem_cgroup pointer is NULL even for pages charged to a non-root
memory cgroup.
It can lead to kernel_stack per-memcg counters permanently showing 0 on
some architectures (depending on the configuration).
In order to fix it, let's introduce a mod_memcg_obj_state() helper,
which takes a pointer to a kernel object as a first argument, uses
mem_cgroup_from_obj() to get a RCU-protected memcg pointer and calls
mod_memcg_state(). It allows to handle all possible configurations
(CONFIG_VMAP_STACK and various THREAD_SIZE/PAGE_SIZE values) without
spilling any memcg/kmem specifics into fork.c .
Note: This is a special version of the patch created for stable
backports. It contains code from the following two patches:
- mm: memcg/slab: introduce mem_cgroup_from_obj()

Prior to this commit, we only directly check the affected cgroup's
memory.high against its usage. However, it's possible that we are being
reclaimed as a result of hitting an ancestor memory.high and should be
penalised based on that, instead.
This patch changes memory.high overage throttling to use the largest
overage in its ancestors when considering how many penalty jiffies to
charge. This makes sure that we penalise poorly behaving cgroups in the
same way regardless of at what level of the hierarchy memory.high was
breached.

We can reproduce this problem in the following ways:
1. We create a new cgroup subdirectory and a new eventfd, and then we
monitor multiple memory thresholds of the cgroup through this eventfd.
2. closing this eventfd, and __mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event ()
will be called multiple times to delete all events related to this
eventfd.
The first time __mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event() is called, the
kernel will clear all items related to this eventfd in thresholds->
primary.
Since there is currently only one eventfd, thresholds-> primary becomes
empty, so the kernel will set thresholds-> primary and hresholds-> spare
to NULL. If at this time, the user creates a new eventfd and monitor
the memory threshold of this cgroup, kernel will re-initialize
thresholds-> primary.
Then when __mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event () is called for the
second time, because thresholds-> primary is not empty, the system will
access thresholds-> spare, but thresholds-> spare is NULL, which will
trigger a crash.
In general, the longer it takes to delete all events related to this
eventfd, the easier it is to trigger this problem.
The solution is to check whether the thresholds associated with the
eventfd has been cleared when deleting the event. If so, we do nothing.

[ Upstream commit d752a49865 ]
If a TCP socket is allocated in IRQ context or cloned from unassociated
(i.e. not associated to a memcg) in IRQ context then it will remain
unassociated for its whole life. Almost half of the TCPs created on the
system are created in IRQ context, so, memory used by such sockets will
not be accounted by the memcg.
This issue is more widespread in cgroup v1 where network memory
accounting is opt-in but it can happen in cgroup v2 if the source socket
for the cloning was created in root memcg.
To fix the issue, just do the association of the sockets at the accept()
time in the process context and then force charge the memory buffer
already used and reserved by the socket.

[ Upstream commit e876ecc67d ]
We are testing network memory accounting in our setup and noticed
inconsistent network memory usage and often unrelated cgroups network
usage correlates with testing workload. On further inspection, it
seems like mem_cgroup_sk_alloc() and cgroup_sk_alloc() are broken in
irq context specially for cgroup v1.
mem_cgroup_sk_alloc() and cgroup_sk_alloc() can be called in irq context
and kind of assumes that this can only happen from sk_clone_lock()
and the source sock object has already associated cgroup. However in
cgroup v1, where network memory accounting is opt-in, the source sock
can be unassociated with any cgroup and the new cloned sock can get
associated with unrelated interrupted cgroup.
Cgroup v2 can also suffer if the source sock object was created by
process in the root cgroup or if sk_alloc() is called in irq context.
The fix is to just do nothing in interrupt.
WARNING: Please note that about half of the TCP sockets are allocated
from the IRQ context, so, memory used by such sockets will not be
accouted by the memcg.

commit 4a87e2a25d upstream.
Currently slab percpu vmstats are flushed twice: during the memcg
offlining and just before freeing the memcg structure. Each time percpu
counters are summed, added to the atomic counterparts and propagated up
by the cgroup tree.
The second flushing is required due to how recursive vmstats are
implemented: counters are batched in percpu variables on a local level,
and once a percpu value is crossing some predefined threshold, it spills
over to atomic values on the local and each ascendant levels. It means
that without flushing some numbers cached in percpu variables will be
dropped on floor each time a cgroup is destroyed. And with uptime the
error on upper levels might become noticeable.
The first flushing aims to make counters on ancestor levels more
precise. Dying cgroups may resume in the dying state for a long time.
After kmem_cache reparenting which is performed during the offlining
slab counters of the dying cgroup don't have any chances to be updated,
because any slab operations will be performed on the parent level. It
means that the inaccuracy caused by percpu batching will not decrease up
to the final destruction of the cgroup. By the original idea flushing
slab counters during the offlining should minimize the visible
inaccuracy of slab counters on the parent level.
The problem is that percpu counters are not zeroed after the first
flushing. So every cached percpu value is summed twice. It creates a
small error (up to 32 pages per cpu, but usually less) which accumulates
on parent cgroup level. After creating and destroying of thousands of
child cgroups, slab counter on parent level can be way off the real
value.
For now, let's just stop flushing slab counters on memcg offlining. It
can't be done correctly without scheduling a work on each cpu: reading
and zeroing it during css offlining can race with an asynchronous
update, which doesn't expect values to be changed underneath.
With this change, slab counters on parent level will become eventually
consistent. Once all dying children are gone, values are correct. And
if not, the error is capped by 32 * NR_CPUS pages per dying cgroup.
It's not perfect, as slab are reparented, so any updates after the
reparenting will happen on the parent level. It means that if a slab
page was allocated, a counter on child level was bumped, then the page
was reparented and freed, the annihilation of positive and negative
counter values will not happen until the child cgroup is released. It
makes slab counters different from others, and it might want us to
implement flushing in a correct form again. But it's also a question of
performance: scheduling a work on each cpu isn't free, and it's an open
question if the benefit of having more accurate counters is worth it.
We might also consider flushing all counters on offlining, not only slab
counters.
So let's fix the main problem now: make the slab counters eventually
consistent, so at least the error won't grow with uptime (or more
precisely the number of created and destroyed cgroups). And think about
the accuracy of counters separately.

The problem is caused by an exiting task which is associated with an
offline memcg. We're iterating over and over in the do {} while
(!css_tryget_online()) loop, but obviously the memcg won't become online
and the exiting task won't be migrated to a live memcg.
Let's fix it by switching from css_tryget_online() to css_tryget().
As css_tryget_online() cannot guarantee that the memcg won't go offline,
the check is usually useless, except some rare cases when for example it
determines if something should be presented to a user.
A similar problem is described by commit 18fa84a2db ("cgroup: Use
css_tryget() instead of css_tryget_online() in task_get_css()").
Johannes:
: The bug aside, it doesn't matter whether the cgroup is online for the

accompanied by an increase in machines going completely radio silent
under memory pressure.
One thing that changed since 4.16 is e699e2c6a6 ("net, mm: account
sock objects to kmemcg"), which made these slab caches subject to cgroup
memory accounting and control.
The problem with that is that cgroups, unlike the page allocator, do not
maintain dedicated atomic reserves. As a cgroup's usage hovers at its
limit, atomic allocations - such as done during network rx - can fail
consistently for extended periods of time. The kernel is not able to
operate under these conditions.
We don't want to revert the culprit patch, because it indeed tracks a
potentially substantial amount of memory used by a cgroup.
We also don't want to implement dedicated atomic reserves for cgroups.
There is no point in keeping a fixed margin of unused bytes in the
cgroup's memory budget to accomodate a consumer that is impossible to
predict - we'd be wasting memory and get into configuration headaches,
not unlike what we have going with min_free_kbytes. We do this for
physical mem because we have to, but cgroups are an accounting game.
Instead, account these privileged allocations to the cgroup, but let
them bypass the configured limit if they have to. This way, we get the
benefits of accounting the consumed memory and have it exert pressure on
the rest of the cgroup, but like with the page allocator, we shift the
burden of reclaimining on behalf of atomic allocations onto the regular
allocations that can block.

page_cgroup_ino() doesn't return a valid memcg pointer for non-compound
slab pages, because it depends on PgHead AND PgSlab flags to be set to
determine the memory cgroup from the kmem_cache. It's correct for
compound pages, but not for generic small pages. Those don't have PgHead
set, so it ends up returning zero.
Fix this by replacing the condition to PageSlab() && !PageTail().
Before this patch:
[root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -c /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-0.slice/user@0.service/ | grep slab
0x0000000000000080 38 0 _______S___________________________________ slab

Also, hwpoison_filter_task() uses output of page_cgroup_ino() in order
to filter error injection events based on memcg. So if
page_cgroup_ino() fails to return memcg pointer, we just fail to inject
memory error. Considering that hwpoison filter is for testing, affected
users are limited and the impact should be marginal.

cgroup v2 introduces two memory protection thresholds: memory.low
(best-effort) and memory.min (hard protection). While they generally do
what they say on the tin, there is a limitation in their implementation
that makes them difficult to use effectively: that cliff behaviour often
manifests when they become eligible for reclaim. This patch implements
more intuitive and usable behaviour, where we gradually mount more
reclaim pressure as cgroups further and further exceed their protection
thresholds.
This cliff edge behaviour happens because we only choose whether or not
to reclaim based on whether the memcg is within its protection limits
(see the use of mem_cgroup_protected in shrink_node), but we don't vary
our reclaim behaviour based on this information. Imagine the following
timeline, with the numbers the lruvec size in this zone:
1. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=999999. 0 pages may be scanned.
2. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000000. 0 pages may be scanned.
3. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000001. 1000001* pages may be
scanned. (?!)
* Of course, we won't usually scan all available pages in the zone even
without this patch because of scan control priority, over-reclaim
protection, etc. However, as shown by the tests at the end, these
techniques don't sufficiently throttle such an extreme change in input,
so cliff-like behaviour isn't really averted by their existence alone.
Here's an example of how this plays out in practice. At Facebook, we are
trying to protect various workloads from "system" software, like
configuration management tools, metric collectors, etc (see this[0] case
study). In order to find a suitable memory.low value, we start by
determining the expected memory range within which the workload will be
comfortable operating. This isn't an exact science -- memory usage deemed
"comfortable" will vary over time due to user behaviour, differences in
composition of work, etc, etc. As such we need to ballpark memory.low,
but doing this is currently problematic:
1. If we end up setting it too low for the workload, it won't have
*any* effect (see discussion above). The group will receive the full
weight of reclaim and won't have any priority while competing with the
less important system software, as if we had no memory.low configured
at all.
2. Because of this behaviour, we end up erring on the side of setting
it too high, such that the comfort range is reliably covered. However,
protected memory is completely unavailable to the rest of the system,
so we might cause undue memory and IO pressure there when we *know* we
have some elasticity in the workload.
3. Even if we get the value totally right, smack in the middle of the
comfort zone, we get extreme jumps between no pressure and full
pressure that cause unpredictable pressure spikes in the workload due
to the current binary reclaim behaviour.
With this patch, we can set it to our ballpark estimation without too much
worry. Any undesirable behaviour, such as too much or too little reclaim
pressure on the workload or system will be proportional to how far our
estimation is off. This means we can set memory.low much more
conservatively and thus waste less resources *without* the risk of the
workload falling off a cliff if we overshoot.
As a more abstract technical description, this unintuitive behaviour
results in having to give high-priority workloads a large protection
buffer on top of their expected usage to function reliably, as otherwise
we have abrupt periods of dramatically increased memory pressure which
hamper performance. Having to set these thresholds so high wastes
resources and generally works against the principle of work conservation.
In addition, having proportional memory reclaim behaviour has other
benefits. Most notably, before this patch it's basically mandatory to set
memory.low to a higher than desirable value because otherwise as soon as
you exceed memory.low, all protection is lost, and all pages are eligible
to scan again. By contrast, having a gradual ramp in reclaim pressure
means that you now still get some protection when thresholds are exceeded,
which means that one can now be more comfortable setting memory.low to
lower values without worrying that all protection will be lost. This is
important because workingset size is really hard to know exactly,
especially with variable workloads, so at least getting *some* protection
if your workingset size grows larger than you expect increases user
confidence in setting memory.low without a huge buffer on top being
needed.
Thanks a lot to Johannes Weiner and Tejun Heo for their advice and
assistance in thinking about how to make this work better.
In testing these changes, I intended to verify that:
1. Changes in page scanning become gradual and proportional instead of
binary.
To test this, I experimented stepping further and further down
memory.low protection on a workload that floats around 19G workingset
when under memory.low protection, watching page scan rates for the
workload cgroup:
+------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+
| memory.low | test (pgscan/s) | control (pgscan/s) | % of control |
+------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+
| 21G | 0 | 0 | N/A |
| 17G | 867 | 3799 | 23% |
| 12G | 1203 | 3543 | 34% |
| 8G | 2534 | 3979 | 64% |
| 4G | 3980 | 4147 | 96% |
| 0 | 3799 | 3980 | 95% |
+------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+
As you can see, the test kernel (with a kernel containing this
patch) ramps up page scanning significantly more gradually than the
control kernel (without this patch).
2. More gradual ramp up in reclaim aggression doesn't result in
premature OOMs.
To test this, I wrote a script that slowly increments the number of
pages held by stress(1)'s --vm-keep mode until a production system
entered severe overall memory contention. This script runs in a highly
protected slice taking up the majority of available system memory.
Watching vmstat revealed that page scanning continued essentially
nominally between test and control, without causing forward reclaim
progress to become arrested.

Currently THP deferred split shrinker is not memcg aware, this may cause
premature OOM with some configuration. For example the below test would
run into premature OOM easily:
$ cgcreate -g memory:thp
$ echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/thp/memory/limit_in_bytes
$ cgexec -g memory:thp transhuge-stress 4000
transhuge-stress comes from kernel selftest.
It is easy to hit OOM, but there are still a lot THP on the deferred split
queue, memcg direct reclaim can't touch them since the deferred split
shrinker is not memcg aware.
Convert deferred split shrinker memcg aware by introducing per memcg
deferred split queue. The THP should be on either per node or per memcg
deferred split queue if it belongs to a memcg. When the page is
immigrated to the other memcg, it will be immigrated to the target memcg's
deferred split queue too.
Reuse the second tail page's deferred_list for per memcg list since the
same THP can't be on multiple deferred split queues.

Currently shrinker is just allocated and can work when memcg kmem is
enabled. But, THP deferred split shrinker is not slab shrinker, it
doesn't make too much sense to have such shrinker depend on memcg kmem.
It should be able to reclaim THP even though memcg kmem is disabled.
Introduce a new shrinker flag, SHRINKER_NONSLAB, for non-slab shrinker.
When memcg kmem is disabled, just such shrinkers can be called in
shrinking memcg slab.

Cgroup v1 memcg controller has exposed a dedicated kmem limit to users
which turned out to be really a bad idea because there are paths which
cannot shrink the kernel memory usage enough to get below the limit (e.g.
because the accounted memory is not reclaimable). There are cases when
the failure is even not allowed (e.g. __GFP_NOFAIL). This means that the
kmem limit is in excess to the hard limit without any way to shrink and
thus completely useless. OOM killer cannot be invoked to handle the
situation because that would lead to a premature oom killing.
As a result many places might see ENOMEM returning from kmalloc and result
in unexpected errors. E.g. a global OOM killer when there is a lot of
free memory because ENOMEM is translated into VM_FAULT_OOM in #PF path and
therefore pagefault_out_of_memory would result in OOM killer.
Please note that the kernel memory is still accounted to the overall limit
along with the user memory so removing the kmem specific limit should
still allow to contain kernel memory consumption. Unlike the kmem one,
though, it invokes memory reclaim and targeted memcg oom killing if
necessary.
Start the deprecation process by crying to the kernel log. Let's see
whether there are relevant usecases and simply return to EINVAL in the
second stage if nobody complains in few releases.

Commit 72f0184c8a ("mm, memcg: remove hotplug locking from try_charge")
introduced css_tryget()/css_put() calls in drain_all_stock(), which are
supposed to protect the target memory cgroup from being released during
the mem_cgroup_is_descendant() call.
However, it's not completely safe. In theory, memcg can go away between
reading stock->cached pointer and calling css_tryget().
This can happen if drain_all_stock() races with drain_local_stock()
performed on the remote cpu as a result of a work, scheduled by the
previous invocation of drain_all_stock().
The race is a bit theoretical and there are few chances to trigger it, but
the current code looks a bit confusing, so it makes sense to fix it
anyway. The code looks like as if css_tryget() and css_put() are used to
protect stocks drainage. It's not necessary because stocked pages are
holding references to the cached cgroup. And it obviously won't work for
works, scheduled on other cpus.
So, let's read the stock->cached pointer and evaluate the memory cgroup
inside a rcu read section, and get rid of css_tryget()/css_put() calls.

We're trying to use memory.high to limit workloads, but have found that
containment can frequently fail completely and cause OOM situations
outside of the cgroup. This happens especially with swap space -- either
when none is configured, or swap is full. These failures often also don't
have enough warning to allow one to react, whether for a human or for a
daemon monitoring PSI.
Here is output from a simple program showing how long it takes in usec

it's nowhere near enough to contain growth. It also doesn't get worse the
more pages you have, since it only considers nr_pages.
The current situation goes against both the expectations of users of
memory.high, and our intentions as cgroup v2 developers. In
cgroup-v2.txt, we claim that we will throttle and only under "extreme
conditions" will memory.high protection be breached. Likewise, cgroup v2
users generally also expect that memory.high should throttle workloads as
they exceed their high threshold. However, as seen above, this isn't
always how it works in practice -- even on banal setups like those with no
swap, or where swap has become exhausted, we can end up with memory.high
being breached and us having no weapons left in our arsenal to combat
runaway growth with, since reclaim is futile.
It's also hard for system monitoring software or users to tell how bad the
situation is, as "high" events for the memcg may in some cases be benign,
and in others be catastrophic. The current status quo is that we fail
containment in a way that doesn't provide any advance warning that things
are about to go horribly wrong (for example, we are about to invoke the
kernel OOM killer).
This patch introduces explicit throttling when reclaim is failing to keep
memcg size contained at the memory.high setting. It does so by applying
an exponential delay curve derived from the memcg's overage compared to
memory.high. In the normal case where the memcg is either below or only
marginally over its memory.high setting, no throttling will be performed.
This composes well with system health monitoring and remediation, as these
allocator delays are factored into PSI's memory pressure calculations.
This both creates a mechanism system administrators or applications
consuming the PSI interface to trivially see that the memcg in question is
struggling and use that to make more reasonable decisions, and permits
them enough time to act. Either of these can act with significantly more
nuance than that we can provide using the system OOM killer.
This is a similar idea to memory.oom_control in cgroup v1 which would put
the cgroup to sleep if the threshold was violated, but it's also
significantly improved as it results in visible memory pressure, and also
doesn't schedule indefinitely, which previously made tracing and other
introspection difficult (ie. it's clamped at 2*HZ per allocation through
MEMCG_MAX_HIGH_DELAY_JIFFIES).
Contrast the previous results with a kernel with this patch:

As you can see, in the normal case, memory allocation takes around 1000
usec. However, as we exceed our memory.high, things start to increase
exponentially, but fairly leniently at first. Our first megabyte over
memory.high takes us 0.16 seconds, then the next is 0.46 seconds, then the
next is almost an entire second. This gets worse until we reach our
eventual 2*HZ clamp per batch, resulting in 16 seconds per megabyte.
However, this is still making forward progress, so permits tracing or
further analysis with programs like GDB.
We use an exponential curve for our delay penalty for a few reasons:
1. We run mem_cgroup_handle_over_high to potentially do reclaim after
we've already performed allocations, which means that temporarily
going over memory.high by a small amount may be perfectly legitimate,
even for compliant workloads. We don't want to unduly penalise such
cases.
2. An exponential curve (as opposed to a static or linear delay) allows
ramping up memory pressure stats more gradually, which can be useful
to work out that you have set memory.high too low, without destroying
application performance entirely.
This patch expands on earlier work by Johannes Weiner. Thanks!

Commit 766a4c19d8 ("mm/memcontrol.c: keep local VM counters in sync
with the hierarchical ones") effectively decreased the precision of
per-memcg vmstats_local and per-memcg-per-node lruvec percpu counters.
That's good for displaying in memory.stat, but brings a serious
regression into the reclaim process.
One issue I've discovered and debugged is the following:
lruvec_lru_size() can return 0 instead of the actual number of pages in
the lru list, preventing the kernel to reclaim last remaining pages.
Result is yet another dying memory cgroups flooding. The opposite is
also happening: scanning an empty lru list is the waste of cpu time.
Also, inactive_list_is_low() can return incorrect values, preventing the
active lru from being scanned and freed. It can fail both because the
size of active and inactive lists are inaccurate, and because the number
of workingset refaults isn't precise. In other words, the result is
pretty random.
I'm not sure, if using the approximate number of slab pages in
count_shadow_number() is acceptable, but issues described above are
enough to partially revert the patch.
Let's keep per-memcg vmstat_local batched (they are only used for
displaying stats to the userspace), but keep lruvec stats precise. This
change fixes the dead memcg flooding on my setup.

I've noticed that the "slab" value in memory.stat is sometimes 0, even
if some children memory cgroups have a non-zero "slab" value. The
following investigation showed that this is the result of the kmem_cache
reparenting in combination with the per-cpu batching of slab vmstats.
At the offlining some vmstat value may leave in the percpu cache, not
being propagated upwards by the cgroup hierarchy. It means that stats
on ancestor levels are lower than actual. Later when slab pages are
released, the precise number of pages is substracted on the parent
level, making the value negative. We don't show negative values, 0 is
printed instead.
To fix this issue, let's flush percpu slab memcg and lruvec stats on
memcg offlining. This guarantees that numbers on all ancestor levels
are accurate and match the actual number of outstanding slab pages.

There's an inherent mismatch between memcg and writeback. The former
trackes ownership per-page while the latter per-inode. This was a
deliberate design decision because honoring per-page ownership in the
writeback path is complicated, may lead to higher CPU and IO overheads
and deemed unnecessary given that write-sharing an inode across
different cgroups isn't a common use-case.
Combined with inode majority-writer ownership switching, this works
well enough in most cases but there are some pathological cases. For
example, let's say there are two cgroups A and B which keep writing to
different but confined parts of the same inode. B owns the inode and
A's memory is limited far below B's. A's dirty ratio can rise enough
to trigger balance_dirty_pages() sleeps but B's can be low enough to
avoid triggering background writeback. A will be slowed down without
a way to make writeback of the dirty pages happen.
This patch implements foreign dirty recording and foreign mechanism so
that when a memcg encounters a condition as above it can trigger
flushes on bdi_writebacks which can clean its pages. Please see the
comment on top of mem_cgroup_track_foreign_dirty_slowpath() for
details.

Similar to vmstats, percpu caching of local vmevents leads to an
accumulation of errors on non-leaf levels. This happens because some
leftovers may remain in percpu caches, so that they are never propagated
up by the cgroup tree and just disappear into nonexistence with on
releasing of the memory cgroup.
To fix this issue let's accumulate and propagate percpu vmevents values
before releasing the memory cgroup similar to what we're doing with
vmstats.
Since on cpu hotplug we do flush percpu vmstats anyway, we can iterate
only over online cpus.

Percpu caching of local vmstats with the conditional propagation by the
cgroup tree leads to an accumulation of errors on non-leaf levels.
Let's imagine two nested memory cgroups A and A/B. Say, a process
belonging to A/B allocates 100 pagecache pages on the CPU 0. The percpu
cache will spill 3 times, so that 32*3=96 pages will be accounted to A/B
and A atomic vmstat counters, 4 pages will remain in the percpu cache.
Imagine A/B is nearby memory.max, so that every following allocation
triggers a direct reclaim on the local CPU. Say, each such attempt will
free 16 pages on a new cpu. That means every percpu cache will have -16
pages, except the first one, which will have 4 - 16 = -12. A/B and A
atomic counters will not be touched at all.
Now a user removes A/B. All percpu caches are freed and corresponding
vmstat numbers are forgotten. A has 96 pages more than expected.
As memory cgroups are created and destroyed, errors do accumulate. Even
1-2 pages differences can accumulate into large numbers.
To fix this issue let's accumulate and propagate percpu vmstat values
before releasing the memory cgroup. At this point these numbers are
stable and cannot be changed.
Since on cpu hotplug we do flush percpu vmstats anyway, we can iterate
only over online cpus.

Memcg counters for shadow nodes are broken because the memcg pointer is
obtained in a wrong way. The following approach is used:
virt_to_page(xa_node)->mem_cgroup
Since commit 4d96ba3530 ("mm: memcg/slab: stop setting
page->mem_cgroup pointer for slab pages") page->mem_cgroup pointer isn't
set for slab pages, so memcg_from_slab_page() should be used instead.
Also I doubt that it ever worked correctly: virt_to_head_page() should
be used instead of virt_to_page(). Otherwise objects residing on tail
pages are not accounted, because only the head page contains a valid
mem_cgroup pointer. That was a case since the introduction of these
counters by the commit 68d48e6a2d ("mm: workingset: add vmstat counter
for shadow nodes").

After commit 815744d751 ("mm: memcontrol: don't batch updates of local
VM stats and events"), the local VM counter are not in sync with the
hierarchical ones.
Below is one example in a leaf memcg on my server (with 8 CPUs):
inactive_file 3567570944
total_inactive_file 3568029696
We find that the deviation is very great because the 'val' in
__mod_memcg_state() is in pages while the effective value in
memcg_stat_show() is in bytes.
So the maximum of this deviation between local VM stats and total VM
stats can be (32 * number_of_cpu * PAGE_SIZE), that may be an
unacceptably great value.
We should keep the local VM stats in sync with the total stats. In
order to keep this behavior the same across counters, this patch updates
__mod_lruvec_state() and __count_memcg_events() as well.

Improvements and bug fixes for the hmm interface in the kernel:
- Improve clarity, locking and APIs related to the 'hmm mirror' feature
merged last cycle. In linux-next we now see AMDGPU and nouveau to be
using this API.
- Remove old or transitional hmm APIs. These are hold overs from the past
with no users, or APIs that existed only to manage cross tree conflicts.
There are still a few more of these cleanups that didn't make the merge
window cut off.
- Improve some core mm APIs:
* export alloc_pages_vma() for driver use
* refactor into devm_request_free_mem_region() to manage
DEVICE_PRIVATE resource reservations
* refactor duplicative driver code into the core dev_pagemap
struct
- Remove hmm wrappers of improved core mm APIs, instead have drivers use
the simplified API directly
- Remove DEVICE_PUBLIC
- Simplify the kconfig flow for the hmm users and core code

oom_unkillable_task() can be called from three different contexts i.e.
global OOM, memcg OOM and oom_score procfs interface. At the moment
oom_unkillable_task() does a task_in_mem_cgroup() check on the given
process. Since there is no reason to perform task_in_mem_cgroup()
check for global OOM and oom_score procfs interface, those contexts
provide NULL memcg and skips the task_in_mem_cgroup() check. However
for memcg OOM context, the oom_unkillable_task() is always called from
mem_cgroup_scan_tasks() and thus task_in_mem_cgroup() check becomes
redundant and effectively dead code. So, just remove the
task_in_mem_cgroup() check altogether.

Let's reparent non-root kmem_caches on memcg offlining. This allows us to
release the memory cgroup without waiting for the last outstanding kernel
object (e.g. dentry used by another application).
Since the parent cgroup is already charged, everything we need to do is to
splice the list of kmem_caches to the parent's kmem_caches list, swap the
memcg pointer, drop the css refcounter for each kmem_cache and adjust the
parent's css refcounter.
Please, note that kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg isn't a stable pointer
anymore. It's safe to read it under rcu_read_lock(), cgroup_mutex held,
or any other way that protects the memory cgroup from being released.
We can race with the slab allocation and deallocation paths. It's not a
big problem: parent's charge and slab global stats are always correct, and
we don't care anymore about the child usage and global stats. The child
cgroup is already offline, so we don't use or show it anywhere.
Local slab stats (NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE) aren't
used anywhere except count_shadow_nodes(). But even there it won't break
anything: after reparenting "nodes" will be 0 on child level (because
we're already reparenting shrinker lists), and on parent level page stats
always were 0, and this patch won't change anything.

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.

Currently each charged slab page holds a reference to the cgroup to which
it's charged. Kmem_caches are held by the memcg and are released all
together with the memory cgroup. It means that none of kmem_caches are
released unless at least one reference to the memcg exists, which is very
far from optimal.
Let's rework it in a way that allows releasing individual kmem_caches as
soon as the cgroup is offline, the kmem_cache is empty and there are no
pending allocations.
To make it possible, let's introduce a new percpu refcounter for non-root
kmem caches. The counter is initialized to the percpu mode, and is
switched to the atomic mode during kmem_cache deactivation. The counter
is bumped for every charged page and also for every running allocation.
So the kmem_cache can't be released unless all allocations complete.
To shutdown non-active empty kmem_caches, let's reuse the work queue,
previously used for the kmem_cache deactivation. Once the reference
counter reaches 0, let's schedule an asynchronous kmem_cache release.

__memcg_kmem_charge() and __memcg_kmem_charge_memcg() work.
This will allow to reuse this code later using a new
