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. * I used the following simple approach to test the performance (stolen from another patchset by T. Harding): time find / -name fname-no-exist echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches repeat 10 times Results: orig patched real 0m1.455s real 0m1.355s user 0m0.206s user 0m0.219s sys 0m0.855s sys 0m0.807s real 0m1.487s real 0m1.699s user 0m0.221s user 0m0.256s sys 0m0.806s sys 0m0.948s real 0m1.515s real 0m1.505s user 0m0.183s user 0m0.215s sys 0m0.876s sys 0m0.858s real 0m1.291s real 0m1.380s user 0m0.193s user 0m0.198s sys 0m0.843s sys 0m0.786s real 0m1.364s real 0m1.374s user 0m0.180s user 0m0.182s sys 0m0.868s sys 0m0.806s real 0m1.352s real 0m1.312s user 0m0.201s user 0m0.212s sys 0m0.820s sys 0m0.761s real 0m1.302s real 0m1.349s user 0m0.205s user 0m0.203s sys 0m0.803s sys 0m0.792s real 0m1.334s real 0m1.301s user 0m0.194s user 0m0.201s sys 0m0.806s sys 0m0.779s real 0m1.426s real 0m1.434s user 0m0.216s user 0m0.181s sys 0m0.824s sys 0m0.864s real 0m1.350s real 0m1.295s user 0m0.200s user 0m0.190s sys 0m0.842s sys 0m0.811s So it looks like the difference is not noticeable in this test.

Currently the memcg_params.dying flag and the corresponding workqueue used for the asynchronous deactivation of kmem_caches is synchronized using the slab_mutex. It makes impossible to check this flag from the irq context, which will be required in order to implement asynchronous release of kmem_caches. So let's switch over to the irq-save flavor of the spinlock-based synchronization. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190611231813.3148843-8-guro@fb.comSigned-off-by:

There is no point in checking the root_cache->memcg_params.dying flag on kmem_cache creation path. New allocations shouldn't be performed using a dead root kmem_cache, so no new memcg kmem_cache creation can be scheduled after the flag is set. And if it was scheduled before, flush_memcg_workqueue() will wait for it anyway. So let's drop this check to simplify the code.

Currently the page accounting code is duplicated in SLAB and SLUB internals. Let's move it into new (un)charge_slab_page helpers in the slab_common.c file. These helpers will be responsible for statistics (global and memcg-aware) and memcg charging. So they are replacing direct memcg_(un)charge_slab() calls.

Let's separate the page counter modification code out of __memcg_kmem_uncharge() in a way similar to what __memcg_kmem_charge() and __memcg_kmem_charge_memcg() work. This will allow to reuse this code later using a new memcg_kmem_uncharge_memcg() wrapper, which calls __memcg_kmem_uncharge_memcg() if memcg_kmem_enabled() check is passed.

Currently SLUB uses a work scheduled after an RCU grace period to deactivate a non-root kmem_cache. This mechanism can be reused for kmem_caches release, but requires generalization for SLAB case. Introduce kmemcg_cache_deactivate() function, which calls allocator-specific __kmem_cache_deactivate() and schedules execution of __kmem_cache_deactivate_after_rcu() with all necessary locks in a worker context after an rcu grace period. Here is the new calling scheme: kmemcg_cache_deactivate() __kmemcg_cache_deactivate() SLAB/SLUB-specific kmemcg_rcufn() rcu kmemcg_workfn() work __kmemcg_cache_deactivate_after_rcu() SLAB/SLUB-specific instead of: __kmemcg_cache_deactivate() SLAB/SLUB-specific slab_deactivate_memcg_cache_rcu_sched() SLUB-only kmemcg_rcufn() rcu kmemcg_workfn() work kmemcg_cache_deact_after_rcu() SLUB-only For consistency, all allocator-specific functions start with "__".

The delayed work/rcu deactivation infrastructure of non-root kmem_caches can be also used for asynchronous release of these objects. Let's get rid of the word "deactivation" in corresponding names to make the code look better after generalization. It's easier to make the renaming first, so that the generalized code will look consistent from scratch. Let's rename struct memcg_cache_params fields: deact_fn -> work_fn deact_rcu_head -> rcu_head deact_work -> work And RCU/delayed work callbacks in slab common code: kmemcg_deactivate_rcufn -> kmemcg_rcufn kmemcg_deactivate_workfn -> kmemcg_workfn This patch contains no functional changes, only renamings.

Patch series "mm: reparent slab memory on cgroup removal", v7. # Why do we need this? We've noticed that the number of dying cgroups is steadily growing on most of our hosts in production. The following investigation revealed an issue in the userspace memory reclaim code [1], accounting of kernel stacks [2], and also the main reason: slab objects. The underlying problem is quite simple: any page charged to a cgroup holds a reference to it, so the cgroup can't be reclaimed unless all charged pages are gone. If a slab object is actively used by other cgroups, it won't be reclaimed, and will prevent the origin cgroup from being reclaimed. Slab objects, and first of all vfs cache, is shared between cgroups, which are using the same underlying fs, and what's even more important, it's shared between multiple generations of the same workload. So if something is running periodically every time in a new cgroup (like how systemd works), we do accumulate multiple dying cgroups. Strictly speaking pagecache isn't different here, but there is a key difference: we disable protection and apply some extra pressure on LRUs of dying cgroups, and these LRUs contain all charged pages. My experiments show that with the disabled kernel memory accounting the number of dying cgroups stabilizes at a relatively small number (~100, depends on memory pressure and cgroup creation rate), and with kernel memory accounting it grows pretty steadily up to several thousands. Memory cgroups are quite complex and big objects (mostly due to percpu stats), so it leads to noticeable memory losses. Memory occupied by dying cgroups is measured in hundreds of megabytes. I've even seen a host with more than 100Gb of memory wasted for dying cgroups. It leads to a degradation of performance with the uptime, and generally limits the usage of cgroups. My previous attempt [3] to fix the problem by applying extra pressure on slab shrinker lists caused a regressions with xfs and ext4, and has been reverted [4]. The following attempts to find the right balance [5, 6] were not successful. So instead of trying to find a maybe non-existing balance, let's do reparent accounted slab caches to the parent cgroup on cgroup removal. # Implementation approach There is however a significant problem with reparenting of slab memory: there is no list of charged pages. Some of them are in shrinker lists, but not all. Introducing of a new list is really not an option. But fortunately there is a way forward: every slab page has a stable pointer to the corresponding kmem_cache. So the idea is to reparent kmem_caches instead of slab pages. It's actually simpler and cheaper, but requires some underlying changes: 1) Make kmem_caches to hold a single reference to the memory cgroup, instead of a separate reference per every slab page. 2) Stop setting page->mem_cgroup pointer for memcg slab pages and use page->kmem_cache->memcg indirection instead. It's used only on slab page release, so performance overhead shouldn't be a big issue. 3) Introduce a refcounter for non-root slab caches. It's required to be able to destroy kmem_caches when they become empty and release the associated memory cgroup. There is a bonus: currently we release all memcg kmem_caches all together with the memory cgroup itself. This patchset allows individual kmem_caches to be released as soon as they become inactive and free. Some additional implementation details are provided in corresponding commit messages. # Results Below is the average number of dying cgroups on two groups of our production hosts. They do run some sort of web frontend workload, the memory pressure is moderate. As we can see, with the kernel memory reparenting the number stabilizes in 60s range; however with the original version it grows almost linearly and doesn't show any signs of plateauing. The difference in slab and percpu usage between patched and unpatched versions also grows linearly. In 7 days it exceeded 200Mb. day 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 original 56 362 628 752 1070 1250 1490 1560 patched 23 46 51 55 60 57 67 69 mem diff(Mb) 22 74 123 152 164 182 214 241 # Links [1]: commit 68600f62 ("mm: don't miss the last page because of round-off error") [2]: commit 9b6f7e16 ("mm: rework memcg kernel stack accounting") [3]: commit 172b06c3 ("mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects") [4]: commit a9a238e8 ("Revert "mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects") [5]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/28/1865 [6]: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=155064763626437&w=2 This patch (of 10): Initialize kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg pointer in memcg_link_cache() rather than in init_memcg_params(). Once kmem_cache will hold a reference to the memory cgroup, it will simplify the refcounting. For non-root kmem_caches memcg_link_cache() is always called before the kmem_cache becomes visible to a user, so it's safe.

The current cgroup OOM memory info dump doesn't include all the memory we are tracking, nor does it give insight into what the VM tried to do leading up to the OOM. All that useful info is in memory.stat. Furthermore, the recursive printing for every child cgroup can generate absurd amounts of data on the console for larger cgroup trees, and it's not like we provide a per-cgroup breakdown during global OOM kills. When an OOM kill is triggered, print one set of recursive memory.stat items at the level whose limit triggered the OOM condition.

The memory controller in cgroup v2 exposes memory.events file for each memcg which shows the number of times events like low, high, max, oom and oom_kill have happened for the whole tree rooted at that memcg. Users can also poll or register notification to monitor the changes in that file. Any event at any level of the tree rooted at memcg will notify all the listeners along the path till root_mem_cgroup. There are existing users which depend on this behavior. However there are users which are only interested in the events happening at a specific level of the memcg tree and not in the events in the underlying tree rooted at that memcg. One such use-case is a centralized resource monitor which can dynamically adjust the limits of the jobs running on a system. The jobs can create their sub-hierarchy for their own sub-tasks. The centralized monitor is only interested in the events at the top level memcgs of the jobs as it can then act and adjust the limits of the jobs. Using the current memory.events for such centralized monitor is very inconvenient. The monitor will keep receiving events which it is not interested and to find if the received event is interesting, it has to read memory.event files of the next level and compare it with the top level one. So, let's introduce memory.events.local to the memcg which shows and notify for the events at the memcg level. Now, does memory.stat and memory.pressure need their local versions. IMHO no due to the no internal process contraint of the cgroup v2. The memory.stat file of the top level memcg of a job shows the stats and vmevents of the whole tree. The local stats or vmevents of the top level memcg will only change if there is a process running in that memcg but v2 does not allow that. Similarly for memory.pressure there will not be any process in the internal nodes and thus no chance of local pressure.

Commit d46eb14b ("fs: fsnotify: account fsnotify metadata to kmemcg") added remote memcg charging for fanotify and inotify event objects. The aim was to charge the memory to the listener who is interested in the events but without triggering the OOM killer. Otherwise there would be security concerns for the listener. At the time, oom-kill trigger was not in the charging path. A parallel work added the oom-kill back to charging path i.e. commit 29ef680a ("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the charge path"). So to not trigger oom-killer in the remote memcg, explicitly add __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL to the fanotigy and inotify event allocations.

The documentation of __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL clearly mentioned that the OOM killer will not be triggered and indeed the page alloc does not invoke OOM killer for such allocations. However we do trigger memcg OOM killer for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL. Fix that. This flag will used later to not trigger oom-killer in the charging path for fanotify and inotify event allocations.

Via commit 4b3ef9da ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks"), after swapoff, the address_space associated with the swap device will be freed. So swap_address_space() users which touch the address_space need some kind of mechanism to prevent the address_space from being freed during accessing. When mincore processes an unmapped range for swapped shmem pages, it doesn't hold the lock to prevent swap device from being swapped off. So the following race is possible: CPU1 CPU2 do_mincore() swapoff() walk_page_range() mincore_unmapped_range() __mincore_unmapped_range mincore_page as = swap_address_space() ... exit_swap_address_space() ... kvfree(spaces) find_get_page(as) The address space may be accessed after being freed. To fix the race, get_swap_device()/put_swap_device() is used to enclose find_get_page() to check whether the swap entry is valid and prevent the swap device from being swapoff during accessing.

swap_extent is used to map swap page offset to backing device's block offset. For a continuous block range, one swap_extent is used and all these swap_extents are managed in a linked list. These swap_extents are used by map_swap_entry() during swap's read and write path. To find out the backing device's block offset for a page offset, the swap_extent list will be traversed linearly, with curr_swap_extent being used as a cache to speed up the search. This works well as long as swap_extents are not huge or when the number of processes that access swap device are few, but when the swap device has many extents and there are a number of processes accessing the swap device concurrently, it can be a problem. On one of our servers, the disk's remaining size is tight: $df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on ... ... /dev/nvme0n1p1 1.8T 1.3T 504G 72% /home/t4 When creating a 80G swapfile there, there are as many as 84656 swap extents. The end result is, kernel spends abou 30% time in map_swap_entry() and swap throughput is only 70MB/s. As a comparison, when I used smaller sized swapfile, like 4G whose swap_extent dropped to 2000, swap throughput is back to 400-500MB/s and map_swap_entry() is about 3%. One downside of using rbtree for swap_extent is, 'struct rbtree' takes 24 bytes while 'struct list_head' takes 16 bytes, that's 8 bytes more for each swap_extent. For a swapfile that has 80k swap_extents, that means 625KiB more memory consumed. Test: Since it's not possible to reboot that server, I can not test this patch diretly there. Instead, I tested it on another server with NVMe disk. I created a 20G swapfile on an NVMe backed XFS fs. By default, the filesystem is quite clean and the created swapfile has only 2 extents. Testing vanilla and this patch shows no obvious performance difference when swapfile is not fragmented. To see the patch's effects, I used some tweaks to manually fragment the swapfile by breaking the extent at 1M boundary. This made the swapfile have 20K extents. nr_task=4 kernel swapout(KB/s) map_swap_entry(perf) swapin(KB/s) map_swap_entry(perf) vanilla 165191 90.77% 171798 90.21% patched 858993 +420% 2.16% 715827 +317% 0.77% nr_task=8 kernel swapout(KB/s) map_swap_entry(perf) swapin(KB/s) map_swap_entry(perf) vanilla 306783 92.19% 318145 87.76% patched 954437 +211% 2.35% 1073741 +237% 1.57% swapout: the throughput of swap out, in KB/s, higher is better 1st map_swap_entry: cpu cycles percent sampled by perf swapin: the throughput of swap in, in KB/s, higher is better. 2nd map_swap_entry: cpu cycles percent sampled by perf nr_task=1 doesn't show any difference, this is due to the curr_swap_extent can be effectively used to cache the correct swap extent for single task workload.

total_swapcache_pages() may race with swapper_spaces[] allocation and freeing. Previously, this is protected with a swapper_spaces[] specific RCU mechanism. To simplify the logic/code complexity, it is replaced with get/put_swap_device(). The code line number is reduced too. Although not so important, the swapoff() performance improves too because one synchronize_rcu() call during swapoff() is deleted.

When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff. This may cause the race like below, CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- do_swap_page swapin_readahead __read_swap_cache_async swapoff swapcache_prepare p->swap_map = NULL __swap_duplicate p->swap_map[?] /* !!! NULL pointer access */ Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to be fixed. To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called. Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called. In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff too. Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing swap cache data structure. Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is similar. The advantages of RCU based method are, 1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other CPUs. 2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code between them. 3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and exit_swap_address_space() already. The two mechanisms can be merged to simplify the logic.

When debug_pagealloc is enabled, we currently allocate the page_ext array to mark guard pages with the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_GUARD flag. Now that we have the page_type field in struct page, we can use that instead, as guard pages are neither PageSlab nor mapped to userspace. This reduces memory overhead when debug_pagealloc is enabled and there are no other features requiring the page_ext array.

The page allocator checks struct pages for expected state (mapcount, flags etc) as pages are being allocated (check_new_page()) and freed (free_pages_check()) to provide some defense against errors in page allocator users. Prior commits 479f854a ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") and 4db7548c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain") this has happened for order-0 pages as they were allocated from or freed to the per-cpu caches (pcplists). Since those are fast paths, the checks are now performed only when pages are moved between pcplists and global free lists. This however lowers the chances of catching errors soon enough. In order to increase the chances of the checks to catch errors, the kernel has to be rebuilt with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, which also enables multiple other internal debug checks (VM_BUG_ON() etc), which is suboptimal when the goal is to catch errors in mm users, not in mm code itself. To catch some wrong users of the page allocator we have CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, which is designed to have virtually no overhead unless enabled at boot time. Memory corruptions when writing to freed pages have often the same underlying errors (use-after-free, double free) as corrupting the corresponding struct pages, so this existing debugging functionality is a good fit to extend by also perform struct page checks at least as often as if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM was enabled. Specifically, after this patch, when debug_pagealloc is enabled on boot, and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM disabled, pages are checked when allocated from or freed to the pcplists *in addition* to being moved between pcplists and free lists. When both debug_pagealloc and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM are enabled, pages are checked when being moved between pcplists and free lists *in addition* to when allocated from or freed to the pcplists. When debug_pagealloc is not enabled on boot, the overhead in fast paths should be virtually none thanks to the use of static key.

Patch series "debug_pagealloc improvements". I have been recently debugging some pcplist corruptions, where it would be useful to perform struct page checks immediately as pages are allocated from and freed to pcplists, which is now only possible by rebuilding the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM (details in Patch 2 changelog). To make this kind of debugging simpler in future on a distro kernel, I have improved CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC so that it has even smaller overhead when not enabled at boot time (Patch 1) and also when enabled (Patch 3), and extended it to perform the struct page checks more often when enabled (Patch 2). Now it can be configured in when building a distro kernel without extra overhead, and debugging page use after free or double free can be enabled simply by rebooting with debug_pagealloc=on. This patch (of 3): CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC has been redesigned by 031bc574 ("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime configurable") to allow being always enabled in a distro kernel, but only perform its expensive functionality when booted with debug_pagelloc=on. We can further reduce the overhead when not boot-enabled (including page allocator fast paths) using static keys. This patch introduces one for debug_pagealloc core functionality, and another for the optional guard page functionality (enabled by booting with debug_guardpage_minorder=X).

When failslab was originally written, the intention of the "ignore-gfp-wait" flag default value ("N") was to fail GFP_ATOMIC allocations. Those were defined as (__GFP_HIGH), and the code would test for __GFP_WAIT (0x10u). However, since then, __GFP_WAIT was replaced by __GFP_RECLAIM (___GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM|___GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM), and GFP_ATOMIC is now defined as (__GFP_HIGH|__GFP_ATOMIC|__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM). This means that when the flag is false, almost no allocation ever fails (as even GFP_ATOMIC allocations contain ___GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM). Restore the original intent of the code, by ignoring calls that directly reclaim only (__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM), and thus, failing GFP_ATOMIC calls again by default.

Previously totalram_pages was the global variable. Currently, totalram_pages is the static inline function from the include/linux/mm.h However, the function is also marked as EXPORT_SYMBOL, which is at best an odd combination. Because there is no point for the static inline function from a public header to be exported, this commit removes the EXPORT_SYMBOL() marking. It will be still possible to use the function in modules because all the symbols it depends on are exported.

Patch series "remove ARCH_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL where it has no effect". For several architectures the ARCH_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL has no real effect because the dependencies for the memory model are always evaluated to a single value. Remove the ARCH_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL from the Kconfigs for these architectures. This patch (of 3): The ARCH_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL in arch/arm/Kconfig is enabled only when ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE=y. But in this case, ARCH_SPARSEMEM_DEFAULT is also enabled and this in turn enables SPARSEMEM_MANUAL. Since there is no definition of ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE in arch/arm/Kconfig, SPARSEMEM_MANUAL is the only enabled memory model, hence the final selection will evaluate to SPARSEMEM=y. Since ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE is set to 'y' only by several sub-arch configurations, the default for must sub-arches would be the falback to FLATMEM regardless of ARCH_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL.

ksize() has been unconditionally unpoisoning the whole shadow memory region associated with an allocation. This can lead to various undetected bugs, for example, double-kzfree(). Specifically, kzfree() uses ksize() to determine the actual allocation size, and subsequently zeroes the memory. Since ksize() used to just unpoison the whole shadow memory region, no invalid free was detected. This patch addresses this as follows: 1. Add a check in ksize(), and only then unpoison the memory region. 2. Preserve kasan_unpoison_slab() semantics by explicitly unpoisoning the shadow memory region using the size obtained from __ksize(). Tested: 1. With SLAB allocator: a) normal boot without warnings; b) verified the added double-kzfree() is detected. 2. With SLUB allocator: a) normal boot without warnings; b) verified the added double-kzfree() is detected.
