Patch series "make vm_committed_as_batch aware of vm overcommit policy", v6. When checking a performance change for will-it-scale scalability mmap test [1], we found very high lock contention for spinlock of percpu counter 'vm_committed_as': 94.14% 0.35% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave 48.21% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave;percpu_counter_add_batch;__vm_enough_memory;mmap_region;do_mmap; 45.91% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave;percpu_counter_add_batch;__do_munmap; Actually this heavy lock contention is not always necessary. The 'vm_committed_as' needs to be very precise when the strict OVERCOMMIT_NEVER policy is set, which requires a rather small batch number for the percpu counter. So keep 'batch' number unchanged for strict OVERCOMMIT_NEVER policy, and enlarge it for not-so-strict OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS and OVERCOMMIT_GUESS policies. Benchmark with the same testcase in [1] shows 53% improvement on a 8C/16T desktop, and 2097%(20X) on a 4S/72C/144T server. And for that case, whether it shows improvements depends on if the test mmap size is bigger than the batch number computed. We tested 10+ platforms in 0day (server, desktop and laptop). If we lift it to 64X, 80%+ platforms show improvements, and for 16X lift, 1/3 of the platforms will show improvements. And generally it should help the mmap/unmap usage,as Michal Hocko mentioned: : I believe that there are non-synthetic worklaods which would benefit : from a larger batch. E.g. large in memory databases which do large : mmaps during startups from multiple threads. Note: There are some style complain from checkpatch for patch 4, as sysctl handler declaration follows the similar format of sibling functions [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200305062138.GI5972@shao2-debian/ This patch (of 4): Use the existing vm_memory_committed() instead, which is also convenient for future change.

For most architectures that support >2 levels of page tables, pmd_alloc_one() is a wrapper for __get_free_pages(), sometimes with __GFP_ZERO and sometimes followed by memset(0) instead. More elaborate versions on arm64 and x86 account memory for the user page tables and call to pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() as the part of PMD page initialization. Move the arm64 version to include/asm-generic/pgalloc.h and use the generic version on several architectures. The pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() is a NOP when ARCH_ENABLE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCK is not enabled, so there is no functional change for most architectures except of the addition of __GFP_ACCOUNT for allocation of user page tables. The pmd_free() is a wrapper for free_page() in all the cases, so no functional change here. Signed-off-by:

xtensa clears PTEs during allocation of the page tables and pte_clear() sets the PTE to a non-zero value. Splitting ptes_clear() helper out of pte_alloc_one() and pte_alloc_one_kernel() allows reuse of base generic allocation methods (__pte_alloc_one() and __pte_alloc_one_kernel()) and the common GFP mask for page table allocations. The pte_free() and pte_free_kernel() implementations on xtensa are identical to the generic ones and can be dropped.

Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of <asm/pgalloc.h>" Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table. These patches add generic versions of these functions in <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> and enable use of the generic functions where appropriate. In addition, functions declared and defined in <asm/pgalloc.h> headers are used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no actual reason to have the <asm/pgalloc.h> included all over the place. The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of <asm/pgalloc.h> In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving pXd_alloc_track() definitions to <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> would require unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local to mm/. This patch (of 8): In most cases <asm/pgalloc.h> header is required only for allocations of page table memory. Most of the .c files that include that header do not use symbols declared in <asm/pgalloc.h> and do not require that header. As for the other header files that used to include <asm/pgalloc.h>, it is possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols from <asm/pgalloc.h> and drop the include from the header file. The process was somewhat automated using sed -i -E '/[<"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \ $(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \ $(git grep -E -l '[<"]asm/pgalloc\.h')) where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

When workload runs in cgroups that aren't directly below root cgroup and their parent specifies reclaim protection, it may end up ineffective. The reason is that propagate_protected_usage() is not called in all hierarchy up. All the protected usage is incorrectly accumulated in the workload's parent. This means that siblings_low_usage is overestimated and effective protection underestimated. Even though it is transitional phenomenon (uncharge path does correct propagation and fixes the wrong children_low_usage), it can undermine the intended protection unexpectedly. We have noticed this problem while seeing a swap out in a descendant of a protected memcg (intermediate node) while the parent was conveniently under its protection limit and the memory pressure was external to that hierarchy. Michal has pinpointed this down to the wrong siblings_low_usage which led to the unwanted reclaim. The fix is simply updating children_low_usage in respective ancestors also in the charging path.

When an outside process lowers one of the memory limits of a cgroup (or uses the force_empty knob in cgroup1), direct reclaim is performed in the context of the write(), in order to directly enforce the new limit and have it being met by the time the write() returns. Currently, this reclaim activity is accounted as memory pressure in the cgroup that the writer(!) belongs to. This is unexpected. It specifically causes problems for senpai (https://github.com/facebookincubator/senpai), which is an agent that routinely adjusts the memory limits and performs associated reclaim work in tens or even hundreds of cgroups running on the host. The cgroup that senpai is running in itself will report elevated levels of memory pressure, even though it itself is under no memory shortage or any sort of distress. Move the psi annotation from the central cgroup reclaim function to callsites in the allocation context, and thereby no longer count any limit-setting reclaim as memory pressure. If the newly set limit causes the workload inside the cgroup into direct reclaim, that of course will continue to count as memory pressure. Signed-off-by:

Commit 8c8c383c ("mm: memcontrol: try harder to set a new memory.high") inadvertently removed a callback to recalculate the writeback cache size in light of a newly configured memory.high limit. Without letting the writeback cache know about a potentially heavily reduced limit, it may permit too many dirty pages, which can cause unnecessary reclaim latencies or even avoidable OOM situations. This was spotted while reading the code, it hasn't knowingly caused any problems in practice so far. Fixes: 8c8c383c ("mm: memcontrol: try harder to set a new memory.high") Signed-off-by:

Memcg oom killer invocation is synchronized by the global oom_lock and tasks are sleeping on the lock while somebody is selecting the victim or potentially race with the oom_reaper is releasing the victim's memory. This can result in a pointless oom killer invocation because a waiter might be racing with the oom_reaper P1 oom_reaper P2 oom_reap_task mutex_lock(oom_lock) out_of_memory # no victim because we have one already __oom_reap_task_mm mute_unlock(oom_lock) mutex_lock(oom_lock) set MMF_OOM_SKIP select_bad_process # finds a new victim The page allocator prevents from this race by trying to allocate after the lock can be acquired (in __alloc_pages_may_oom) which acts as a last minute check. Moreover page allocator simply doesn't block on the oom_lock and simply retries the whole reclaim process. Memcg oom killer should do the last minute check as well. Call mem_cgroup_margin to do that. Trylock on the oom_lock could be done as well but this doesn't seem to be necessary at this stage. [mhocko@kernel.org: commit log] Suggested-by:Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Signed-off-by:

mem_cgroup_protected currently is both used to set effective low and min and return a mem_cgroup_protection based on the result. As a user, this can be a little unexpected: it appears to be a simple predicate function, if not for the big warning in the comment above about the order in which it must be executed. This change makes it so that we separate the state mutations from the actual protection checks, which makes it more obvious where we need to be careful mutating internal state, and where we are simply checking and don't need to worry about that.

Patch series "mm, memcg: memory.{low,min} reclaim fix & cleanup", v4. This series contains a fix for a edge case in my earlier protection calculation patches, and a patch to make the area overall a little more robust to hopefully help avoid this in future. This patch (of 2): A cgroup can have both memory protection and a memory limit to isolate it from its siblings in both directions - for example, to prevent it from being shrunk below 2G under high pressure from outside, but also from growing beyond 4G under low pressure. Commit 9783aa99 ("mm, memcg: proportional memory.{low,min} reclaim") implemented proportional scan pressure so that multiple siblings in excess of their protection settings don't get reclaimed equally but instead in accordance to their unprotected portion. During limit reclaim, this proportionality shouldn't apply of course: there is no competition, all pressure is from within the cgroup and should be applied as such. Reclaim should operate at full efficiency. However, mem_cgroup_protected() never expected anybody to look at the effective protection values when it indicated that the cgroup is above its protection. As a result, a query during limit reclaim may return stale protection values that were calculated by a previous reclaim cycle in which the cgroup did have siblings. When this happens, reclaim is unnecessarily hesitant and potentially slow to meet the desired limit. In theory this could lead to premature OOM kills, although it's not obvious this has occurred in practice. Workaround the problem by special casing reclaim roots in mem_cgroup_protection. These memcgs are never participating in the reclaim protection because the reclaim is internal. We have to ignore effective protection values for reclaim roots because mem_cgroup_protected might be called from racing reclaim contexts with different roots. Calculation is relying on root -> leaf tree traversal therefore top-down reclaim protection invariants should hold. The only exception is the reclaim root which should have effective protection set to 0 but that would be problematic for the following setup: Let's have global and A's reclaim in parallel: | A (low=2G, usage = 3G, max = 3G, children_low_usage = 1.5G) |\ | C (low = 1G, usage = 2.5G) B (low = 1G, usage = 0.5G) for A reclaim we have B.elow = B.low C.elow = C.low For the global reclaim A.elow = A.low B.elow = min(B.usage, B.low) because children_low_usage <= A.elow C.elow = min(C.usage, C.low) With the effective values resetting we have A reclaim A.elow = 0 B.elow = B.low C.elow = C.low and global reclaim could see the above and then B.elow = C.elow = 0 because children_low_usage > A.elow Which means that protected memcgs would get reclaimed. In future we would like to make mem_cgroup_protected more robust against racing reclaim contexts but that is likely more complex solution than this simple workaround.

Reclaim retries have been set to 5 since the beginning of time in commit 66e1707b ("Memory controller: add per cgroup LRU and reclaim"). However, we now have a generally agreed-upon standard for page reclaim: MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (currently 16), added many years later in commit 0a0337e0 ("mm, oom: rework oom detection"). In the absence of a compelling reason to declare an OOM earlier in memcg context than page allocator context, it seems reasonable to supplant MEM_CGROUP_RECLAIM_RETRIES with MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES, making the page allocator and memcg internals more similar in semantics when reclaim fails to produce results, avoiding premature OOMs or throttling.

Patch series "mm, memcg: reclaim harder before high throttling", v2. This patch (of 2): In Facebook production, we've seen cases where cgroups have been put into allocator throttling even when they appear to have a lot of slack file caches which should be trivially reclaimable. Looking more closely, the problem is that we only try a single cgroup reclaim walk for each return to usermode before calculating whether or not we should throttle. This single attempt doesn't produce enough pressure to shrink for cgroups with a rapidly growing amount of file caches prior to entering allocator throttling. As an example, we see that threads in an affected cgroup are stuck in allocator throttling: # for i in $(cat cgroup.threads); do > grep over_high "/proc/$i/stack" > done [<0>] mem_cgroup_handle_over_high+0x10b/0x150 [<0>] mem_cgroup_handle_over_high+0x10b/0x150 [<0>] mem_cgroup_handle_over_high+0x10b/0x150 ...however, there is no I/O pressure reported by PSI, despite a lot of slack file pages: # cat memory.pressure some avg10=78.50 avg60=84.99 avg300=84.53 total=5702440903 full avg10=78.50 avg60=84.99 avg300=84.53 total=5702116959 # cat io.pressure some avg10=0.00 avg60=0.00 avg300=0.00 total=78051391 full avg10=0.00 avg60=0.00 avg300=0.00 total=78049640 # grep _file memory.stat inactive_file 1370939392 active_file 661635072 This patch changes the behaviour to retry reclaim either until the current task goes below the 10ms grace period, or we are making no reclaim progress at all. In the latter case, we enter reclaim throttling as before. To a user, there's no intuitive reason for the reclaim behaviour to differ from hitting memory.high as part of a new allocation, as opposed to hitting memory.high because someone lowered its value. As such this also brings an added benefit: it unifies the reclaim behaviour between the two. There's precedent for this behaviour: we already do reclaim retries when writing to memory.{high,max}, in max reclaim, and in the page allocator itself. Signed-off-by: -

Memory.high limit is implemented in a way such that the kernel penalizes all threads which are allocating a memory over the limit. Forcing all threads into the synchronous reclaim and adding some artificial delays allows to slow down the memory consumption and potentially give some time for userspace oom handlers/resource control agents to react. It works nicely if the memory usage is hitting the limit from below, however it works sub-optimal if a user adjusts memory.high to a value way below the current memory usage. It basically forces all workload threads (doing any memory allocations) into the synchronous reclaim and sleep. This makes the workload completely unresponsive for a long period of time and can also lead to a system-wide contention on lru locks. It can happen even if the workload is not actually tight on memory and has, for example, a ton of cold pagecache. In the current implementation writing to memory.high causes an atomic update of page counter's high value followed by an attempt to reclaim enough memory to fit into the new limit. To fix the problem described above, all we need is to change the order of execution: try to push the memory usage under the limit first, and only then set the new high limit. Reported-by:

Currently memcg_kmem_enabled() is optimized for the kernel memory accounting being off. It was so for a long time, and arguably the reason behind was that the kernel memory accounting was initially an opt-in feature. However, now it's on by default on both cgroup v1 and cgroup v2, and it's on for all cgroups. So let's switch over to static_branch_likely() to reflect this fact. Unlikely there is a significant performance difference, as the cost of a memory allocation and its accounting significantly exceeds the cost of a jump. However, the conversion makes the code look more logically. Signed-off-by:

Add some tests to cover the kernel memory accounting functionality. These are covering some issues (and changes) we had recently. 1) A test which allocates a lot of negative dentries, checks memcg slab statistics, creates memory pressure by setting memory.max to some low value and checks that some number of slabs was reclaimed. 2) A test which covers side effects of memcg destruction: it creates and destroys a large number of sub-cgroups, each containing a multi-threaded workload which allocates and releases some kernel memory. Then it checks that the charge ans memory.stats do add up on the parent level. 3) A test which reads /proc/kpagecgroup and implicitly checks that it doesn't crash the system. 4) A test which spawns a large number of threads and checks that the kernel stacks accounting works as expected. 5) A test which checks that living charged slab objects are not preventing the memory cgroup from being released after being deleted by a user.

Instead of having two sets of kmem_caches: one for system-wide and non-accounted allocations and the second one shared by all accounted allocations, we can use just one. The idea is simple: space for obj_cgroup metadata can be allocated on demand and filled only for accounted allocations. It allows to remove a bunch of code which is required to handle kmem_cache clones for accounted allocations. There is no more need to create them, accumulate statistics, propagate attributes, etc. It's a quite significant simplification. Also, because the total number of slab_caches is reduced almost twice (not all kmem_caches have a memcg clone), some additional memory savings are expected. On my devvm it additionally saves about 3.5% of slab memory. [guro@fb.com: fix build on MIPS] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200717214810.3733082-1-guro@fb.comSuggested-by:

memcg_accumulate_slabinfo() is never called with a non-root kmem_cache as a first argument, so the is_root_cache(s) check is redundant and can be removed without any functional change. Signed-off-by:

Currently there are two lists of kmem_caches: 1) slab_caches, which contains all kmem_caches, 2) slab_root_caches, which contains only root kmem_caches. And there is some preprocessor magic to have a single list if CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM isn't enabled. It was required earlier because the number of non-root kmem_caches was proportional to the number of memory cgroups and could reach really big values. Now, when it cannot exceed the number of root kmem_caches, there is really no reason to maintain two lists. We never iterate over the slab_root_caches list on any hot paths, so it's perfectly fine to iterate over slab_caches and filter out non-root kmem_caches. It allows to remove a lot of config-dependent code and two pointers from the kmem_cache structure. Signed-off-by:

The memcg_kmem_get_cache() function became really trivial, so let's just inline it into the single call point: memcg_slab_pre_alloc_hook(). It will make the code less bulky and can also help the compiler to generate a better code. Signed-off-by:

Because the number of non-root kmem_caches doesn't depend on the number of memory cgroups anymore and is generally not very big, there is no more need for a dedicated workqueue. Also, as there is no more need to pass any arguments to the memcg_create_kmem_cache() except the root kmem_cache, it's possible to just embed the work structure into the kmem_cache and avoid the dynamic allocation of the work structure. This will also simplify the synchronization: for each root kmem_cache there is only one work. So there will be no more concurrent attempts to create a non-root kmem_cache for a root kmem_cache: the second and all following attempts to queue the work will fail. On the kmem_cache destruction path there is no more need to call the expensive flush_workqueue() and wait for all pending works to be finished. Instead, cancel_work_sync() can be used to cancel/wait for only one work. Signed-off-by:

This is fairly big but mostly red patch, which makes all accounted slab allocations use a single set of kmem_caches instead of creating a separate set for each memory cgroup. Because the number of non-root kmem_caches is now capped by the number of root kmem_caches, there is no need to shrink or destroy them prematurely. They can be perfectly destroyed together with their root counterparts. This allows to dramatically simplify the management of non-root kmem_caches and delete a ton of code. This patch performs the following changes: 1) introduces memcg_params.memcg_cache pointer to represent the kmem_cache which will be used for all non-root allocations 2) reuses the existing memcg kmem_cache creation mechanism to create memcg kmem_cache on the first allocation attempt 3) memcg kmem_caches are named <kmemcache_name>-memcg, e.g. dentry-memcg 4) simplifies memcg_kmem_get_cache() to just return memcg kmem_cache or schedule it's creation and return the root cache 5) removes almost all non-root kmem_cache management code (separate refcounter, reparenting, shrinking, etc) 6) makes slab debugfs to display root_mem_cgroup css id and never show :dead and :deact flags in the memcg_slabinfo attribute. Following patches in the series will simplify the kmem_cache creation. Signed-off-by:

To make the memcg_kmem_bypass() function available outside of the memcontrol.c, let's move it to memcontrol.h. The function is small and nicely fits into static inline sort of functions. It will be used from the slab code. Signed-off-by:

Deprecate memory.kmem.slabinfo. An empty file will be presented if corresponding config options are enabled. The interface is implementation dependent, isn't present in cgroup v2, and is generally useful only for core mm debugging purposes. In other words, it doesn't provide any value for the absolute majority of users. A drgn-based replacement can be found in tools/cgroup/memcg_slabinfo.py. It does support cgroup v1 and v2, mimics memory.kmem.slabinfo output and also allows to get any additional information without a need to recompile the kernel. If a drgn-based solution is too slow for a task, a bpf-based tracing tool can be used, which can easily keep track of all slab allocations belonging to a memory cgroup. Signed-off-by:

Switch to per-object accounting of non-root slab objects. Charging is performed using obj_cgroup API in the pre_alloc hook. Obj_cgroup is charged with the size of the object and the size of metadata: as now it's the size of an obj_cgroup pointer. If the amount of memory has been charged successfully, the actual allocation code is executed. Otherwise, -ENOMEM is returned. In the post_alloc hook if the actual allocation succeeded, corresponding vmstats are bumped and the obj_cgroup pointer is saved. Otherwise, the charge is canceled. On the free path obj_cgroup pointer is obtained and used to uncharge the size of the releasing object. Memcg and lruvec counters are now representing only memory used by active slab objects and do not include the free space. The free space is shared and doesn't belong to any specific cgroup. Global per-node slab vmstats are still modified from (un)charge_slab_page() functions. The idea is to keep all slab pages accounted as slab pages on system level. Signed-off-by:

Store the obj_cgroup pointer in the corresponding place of page->obj_cgroups for each allocated non-root slab object. Make sure that each allocated object holds a reference to obj_cgroup. Objcg pointer is obtained from the memcg->objcg dereferencing in memcg_kmem_get_cache() and passed from pre_alloc_hook to post_alloc_hook. Then in case of successful allocation(s) it's getting stored in the page->obj_cgroups vector. The objcg obtaining part look a bit bulky now, but it will be simplified by next commits in the series.

Allocate and release memory to store obj_cgroup pointers for each non-root slab page. Reuse page->mem_cgroup pointer to store a pointer to the allocated space. This commit temporarily increases the memory footprint of the kernel memory accounting. To store obj_cgroup pointers we'll need a place for an objcg_pointer for each allocated object. However, the following patches in the series will enable sharing of slab pages between memory cgroups, which will dramatically increase the total slab utilization. And the final memory footprint will be significantly smaller than before. To distinguish between obj_cgroups and memcg pointers in case when it's not obvious which one is used (as in page_cgroup_ino()), let's always set the lowest bit in the obj_cgroup case. The original obj_cgroups pointer is marked to be ignored by kmemleak, which otherwise would report a memory leak for each allocated vector. Signed-off-by:

Obj_cgroup API provides an ability to account sub-page sized kernel objects, which potentially outlive the original memory cgroup. The top-level API consists of the following functions: bool obj_cgroup_tryget(struct obj_cgroup *objcg); void obj_cgroup_get(struct obj_cgroup *objcg); void obj_cgroup_put(struct obj_cgroup *objcg); int obj_cgroup_charge(struct obj_cgroup *objcg, gfp_t gfp, size_t size); void obj_cgroup_uncharge(struct obj_cgroup *objcg, size_t size); struct mem_cgroup *obj_cgroup_memcg(struct obj_cgroup *objcg); struct obj_cgroup *get_obj_cgroup_from_current(void); Object cgroup is basically a pointer to a memory cgroup with a per-cpu reference counter. It substitutes a memory cgroup in places where it's necessary to charge a custom amount of bytes instead of pages. All charged memory rounded down to pages is charged to the corresponding memory cgroup using __memcg_kmem_charge(). It implements reparenting: on memcg offlining it's getting reattached to the parent memory cgroup. Each online memory cgroup has an associated active object cgroup to handle new allocations and the list of all attached object cgroups. On offlining of a cgroup this list is reparented and for each object cgroup in the list the memcg pointer is swapped to the parent memory cgroup. It prevents long-living objects from pinning the original memory cgroup in the memory. The implementation is based on byte-sized per-cpu stocks. A sub-page sized leftover is stored in an atomic field, which is a part of obj_cgroup object. So on cgroup offlining the leftover is automatically reparented. memcg->objcg is rcu protected. objcg->memcg is a raw pointer, which is always pointing at a memory cgroup, but can be atomically swapped to the parent memory cgroup. So a user must ensure the lifetime of the cgroup, e.g. grab rcu_read_lock or css_set_lock. Suggested-by:

The reference counting of a memcg is currently coupled directly to how many 4k pages are charged to it. This doesn't work well with Roman's new slab controller, which maintains pools of objects and doesn't want to keep an extra balance sheet for the pages backing those objects. This unusual refcounting design (reference counts usually track pointers to an object) is only for historical reasons: memcg used to not take any css references and simply stalled offlining until all charges had been reparented and the page counters had dropped to zero. When we got rid of the reparenting requirement, the simple mechanical translation was to take a reference for every charge. More historical context can be found in commit e8ea14cc ("mm: memcontrol: take a css reference for each charged page"), commit 64f21993 ("mm: memcontrol: remove obsolete kmemcg pinning tricks") and commit b2052564 ("mm: memcontrol: continue cache reclaim from offlined groups"). The new slab controller exposes the limitations in this scheme, so let's switch it to a more idiomatic reference counting model based on actual kernel pointers to the memcg: - The per-cpu stock holds a reference to the memcg its caching - User pages hold a reference for their page->mem_cgroup. Transparent huge pages will no longer acquire tail references in advance, we'll get them if needed during the split. - Kernel pages hold a reference for their page->mem_cgroup - Pages allocated in the root cgroup will acquire and release css references for simplicity. css_get() and css_put() optimize that. - The current memcg_charge_slab() already hacked around the per-charge references; this change gets rid of that as well. - tcp accounting will handle reference in mem_cgroup_sk_{alloc,free} Roman: 1) Rebased on top of the current mm tree: added css_get() in mem_cgroup_charge(), dropped mem_cgroup_try_charge() part 2) I've reformatted commit references in the commit log to make checkpatch.pl happy.
