Commit 0a31bc97 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API") changed page migration to uncharge the old page right away. The page is locked, unmapped, truncated, and off the LRU, but it could race with writeback ending, which then doesn't unaccount the page properly: test_clear_page_writeback() migration wait_on_page_writeback() TestClearPageWriteback() mem_cgroup_migrate() clear PCG_USED mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() if (PageCgroupUsed(pc)) decrease memcg pages under writeback release pc->mem_cgroup->move_lock The per-page statistics interface is heavily optimized to avoid a function call and a lookup_page_cgroup() in the file unmap fast path, which means it doesn't verify whether a page is still charged before clearing PageWriteback() and it has to do it in the stat update later. Rework it so that it looks up the page's memcg once at the beginning of the transaction and then uses it throughout. The charge will be verified before clearing PageWriteback() and migration can't uncharge the page as long as that is still set. The RCU lock will protect the memcg past uncharge. As far as losing the optimization goes, the following test results are from a microbenchmark that maps, faults, and unmaps a 4GB sparse file three times in a nested fashion, so that there are two negative passes that don't account but still go through the new transaction overhead. There is no actual difference: old: 33.195102545 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.01% ) new: 33.199231369 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.03% ) The time spent in page_remove_rmap()'s callees still adds up to the same, but the time spent in the function itself seems reduced: # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol old: 0.12% 0.11% filemapstress [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_remove_rmap new: 0.12% 0.08% filemapstress [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_remove_rmap Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@parallels.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [3.17.x] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
