Ying Han 1bac180bd2 memcg: rename mem_cgroup_zone_nr_pages() to mem_cgroup_zone_nr_lru_pages()
The caller of the function has been renamed to zone_nr_lru_pages(), and
this is just fixing up in the memcg code.  The current name is easily to
be mis-read as zone's total number of pages.

Ying Han 889976dbcb memcg: reclaim memory from nodes in round-robin order
Presently, memory cgroup's direct reclaim frees memory from the current
node.  But this has some troubles.  Usually when a set of threads works in
a cooperative way, they tend to operate on the same node.  So if they hit
limits under memcg they will reclaim memory from themselves, damaging the
active working set.

For example, assume 2 node system which has Node 0 and Node 1 and a memcg
which has 1G limit.  After some work, file cache remains and the usages
are

   Node 0:  1M
   Node 1:  998M.

and run an application on Node 0, it will eat its foot before freeing
unnecessary file caches.

This patch adds round-robin for NUMA and adds equal pressure to each node.
When using cpuset's spread memory feature, this will work very well.

But yes, a better algorithm is needed.

Ying Han 0ae5e89c60 memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim in global background reclaim
The global kswapd scans per-zone LRU and reclaims pages regardless of the
cgroup. It breaks memory isolation since one cgroup can end up reclaiming
pages from another cgroup. Instead we should rely on memcg-aware target
reclaim including per-memcg kswapd and soft_limit hierarchical reclaim under
memory pressure.

In the global background reclaim, we do soft reclaim before scanning the
per-zone LRU. However, the return value is ignored. This patch is the first
step to skip shrink_zone() if soft_limit reclaim does enough work.

This is part of the effort which tries to reduce reclaiming pages in global
LRU in memcg. The per-memcg background reclaim patchset further enhances the
per-cgroup targetting reclaim, which I should have V4 posted shortly.

Try running multiple memory intensive workloads within seperate memcgs. Watch
the counters of soft_steal in memory.stat.

  $ cat /dev/cgroup/A/memory.stat | grep 'soft'
  soft_steal 240000
  soft_scan 240000
  total_soft_steal 240000
  total_soft_scan 240000

This patch:

In the global background reclaim, we do soft reclaim before scanning the
per-zone LRU.  However, the return value is ignored.

We would like to skip shrink_zone() if soft_limit reclaim does enough
work.  Also, we need to make the memory pressure balanced across per-memcg
zones, like the logic vm-core.  This patch is the first step where we
start with counting the nr_scanned and nr_reclaimed from soft_limit
reclaim into the global scan_control.

Daisuke Nishimura f212ad7cf9 memcg: add memcg sanity checks at allocating and freeing pages
Add checks at allocating or freeing a page whether the page is used (iow,
charged) from the view point of memcg.

This check may be useful in debugging a problem and we did similar checks
before the commit 52d4b9ac(memcg: allocate all page_cgroup at boot).

This patch adds some overheads at allocating or freeing memory, so it's
enabled only when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled.

Minchan Kim 3f58a82943 memcg: move memcg reclaimable page into tail of inactive list
The rotate_reclaimable_page function moves just written out pages, which
the VM wanted to reclaim, to the end of the inactive list.  That way the
VM will find those pages first next time it needs to free memory.

This patch applies the rule in memcg.  It can help to prevent unnecessary
working page eviction of memcg.

Miklos Szeredi ef6a3c6311 mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function
This function basically does:

     remove_from_page_cache(old);
     page_cache_release(old);
     add_to_page_cache_locked(new);

Except it does this atomically, so there's no possibility for the "add" to
fail because of a race.

If memory cgroups are enabled, then the memory cgroup charge is also moved
from the old page to the new.

This function is currently used by fuse to move pages into the page cache
on read, instead of copying the page contents.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki ca3e021417 memcg: fix USED bit handling at uncharge in THP
Now, under THP:

at charge:
  - PageCgroupUsed bit is set to all page_cgroup on a hugepage.
    ....set to 512 pages.
at uncharge
  - PageCgroupUsed bit is unset on the head page.

So, some pages will remain with "Used" bit.

This patch fixes that Used bit is set only to the head page.
Used bits for tail pages will be set at splitting if necessary.

This patch adds this lock order:
   compound_lock() -> page_cgroup_move_lock().

Daisuke Nishimura 50de1dd967 memcg: fix memory migration of shmem swapcache
In the current implementation mem_cgroup_end_migration() decides whether
the page migration has succeeded or not by checking "oldpage->mapping".

But if we are tring to migrate a shmem swapcache, the page->mapping of it
is NULL from the begining, so the check would be invalid.  As a result,
mem_cgroup_end_migration() assumes the migration has succeeded even if
it's not, so "newpage" would be freed while it's not uncharged.

This patch fixes it by passing mem_cgroup_end_migration() the result of
the page migration.

David Rientjes a63d83f427 oom: badness heuristic rewrite
This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is
used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions.  The goal is to
make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better
understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most
memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace.

Instead of basing the heuristic on mm->total_vm for each task, the task's
rss and swap space is used instead.  This is a better indication of the
amount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen
and subsequently exits.  This helps specifically in cases where KDE or
GNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory
hogging task.

The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is
currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of "allowable"
memory.  "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide resources for
unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems
attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit.  The
proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill),
roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task
consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap
space.

The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and
not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may
operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the
machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of
nodes or mems, respectively.

Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory()
provides in LSMs.  In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of
memory, it is generally better to save root's task.

Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also
necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it.  It's not possible
to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the
ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability.  Instead, a new tunable,
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000.  It may
be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never
considered for oom kill while others may always be considered.  The value
is added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for
example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to
other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset,
or sharing the same memory controller.

/proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the
units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa.  Changing one of
these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an
equivalent meaning.  Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as
a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity.  This is required
so the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to
be deprecated for future removal.

KOSAKI Motohiro 25edde0332 vmscan: kill prev_priority completely
Since 2.6.28 zone->prev_priority is unused. Then it can be removed
safely. It reduce stack usage slightly.

Now I have to say that I'm sorry. 2 years ago, I thought prev_priority
can be integrate again, it's useful. but four (or more) times trying
haven't got good performance number. Thus I give up such approach.

The rest of this changelog is notes on prev_priority and why it existed in
the first place and why it might be not necessary any more. This information
is based heavily on discussions between Andrew Morton, Rik van Riel and
Kosaki Motohiro who is heavily quotes from.

Historically prev_priority was important because it determined when the VM
would start unmapping PTE pages. i.e. there are no balances of note within
the VM, Anon vs File and Mapped vs Unmapped. Without prev_priority, there
is a potential risk of unnecessarily increasing minor faults as a large
amount of read activity of use-once pages could push mapped pages to the
end of the LRU and get unmapped.

There is no proof this is still a problem but currently it is not considered
to be. Active files are not deactivated if the active file list is smaller
than the inactive list reducing the liklihood that file-mapped pages are
being pushed off the LRU and referenced executable pages are kept on the
active list to avoid them getting pushed out by read activity.

Even if it is a problem, prev_priority prev_priority wouldn't works
nowadays. First of all, current vmscan still a lot of UP centric code. it
expose some weakness on some dozens CPUs machine. I think we need more and
more improvement.

The problem is, current vmscan mix up per-system-pressure, per-zone-pressure
and per-task-pressure a bit. example, prev_priority try to boost priority to
other concurrent priority. but if the another task have mempolicy restriction,
it is unnecessary, but also makes wrong big latency and exceeding reclaim.
per-task based priority + prev_priority adjustment make the emulation of
per-system pressure. but it have two issue 1) too rough and brutal emulation
2) we need per-zone pressure, not per-system.

Another example, currently DEF_PRIORITY is 12. it mean the lru rotate about
2 cycle (1/4096 + 1/2048 + 1/1024 + .. + 1) before invoking OOM-Killer.
but if 10,0000 thrreads enter DEF_PRIORITY reclaim at the same time, the
system have higher memory pressure than priority==0 (1/4096*10,000 > 2).
prev_priority can't solve such multithreads workload issue. In other word,
prev_priority concept assume the sysmtem don't have lots threads."

akpm@linux-foundation.org ac39cf8cb8 memcg: fix mis-accounting of file mapped racy with migration
FILE_MAPPED per memcg of migrated file cache is not properly updated,
because our hook in page_add_file_rmap() can't know to which memcg
FILE_MAPPED should be counted.

Basically, this patch is for fixing the bug but includes some big changes
to fix up other messes.

Now, at migrating mapped file, events happen in following sequence.

 1. allocate a new page.
 2. get memcg of an old page.
 3. charge ageinst a new page before migration. But at this point,
    no changes to new page's page_cgroup, no commit for the charge.
    (IOW, PCG_USED bit is not set.)
 4. page migration replaces radix-tree, old-page and new-page.
 5. page migration remaps the new page if the old page was mapped.
 6. Here, the new page is unlocked.
 7. memcg commits the charge for newpage, Mark the new page's page_cgroup
    as PCG_USED.

Because "commit" happens after page-remap, we can count FILE_MAPPED
at "5", because we should avoid to trust page_cgroup->mem_cgroup.
if PCG_USED bit is unset.
(Note: memcg's LRU removal code does that but LRU-isolation logic is used
 for helping it. When we overwrite page_cgroup->mem_cgroup, page_cgroup is
 not on LRU or page_cgroup->mem_cgroup is NULL.)

We can lose file_mapped accounting information at 5 because FILE_MAPPED
is updated only when mapcount changes 0->1. So we should catch it.

BTW, historically, above implemntation comes from migration-failure
of anonymous page. Because we charge both of old page and new page
with mapcount=0, we can't catch
  - the page is really freed before remap.
  - migration fails but it's freed before remap
or .....corner cases.

New migration sequence with memcg is:

 1. allocate a new page.
 2. mark PageCgroupMigration to the old page.
 3. charge against a new page onto the old page's memcg. (here, new page's pc
    is marked as PageCgroupUsed.)
 4. page migration replaces radix-tree, page table, etc...
 5. At remapping, new page's page_cgroup is now makrked as "USED"
    We can catch 0->1 event and FILE_MAPPED will be properly updated.

    And we can catch SWAPOUT event after unlock this and freeing this
    page by unmap() can be caught.

 7. Clear PageCgroupMigration of the old page.

So, FILE_MAPPED will be correctly updated.

Then, for what MIGRATION flag is ?
  Without it, at migration failure, we may have to charge old page again
  because it may be fully unmapped. "charge" means that we have to dive into
  memory reclaim or something complated. So, it's better to avoid
  charge it again. Before this patch, __commit_charge() was working for
  both of the old/new page and fixed up all. But this technique has some
  racy condtion around FILE_MAPPED and SWAPOUT etc...
  Now, the kernel use MIGRATION flag and don't uncharge old page until
  the end of migration.

I hope this change will make memcg's page migration much simpler.  This
page migration has caused several troubles.  Worth to add a flag for
simplification.

For now, we have global isolation vs.  memory control group isolation, do
not allow the reclaim entry function to set an arbitrary page isolation
callback, we do not need that flexibility.

And since we already pass around the group descriptor for the memory
control group isolation case, just use it to decide which one of the two
isolator functions to use.

The decisions can be merged into nearby branches, so no extra cost there.
In fact, we save the indirect calls.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 867578cbcc memcg: fix oom kill behavior
In current page-fault code,

	handle_mm_fault()
		-> ...
		-> mem_cgroup_charge()
		-> map page or handle error.
	-> check return code.

If page fault's return code is VM_FAULT_OOM, page_fault_out_of_memory() is
called.  But if it's caused by memcg, OOM should have been already
invoked.

Then, I added a patch: a636b327f7.  That
patch records last_oom_jiffies for memcg's sub-hierarchy and prevents
page_fault_out_of_memory from being invoked in near future.

But Nishimura-san reported that check by jiffies is not enough when the
system is terribly heavy.

This patch changes memcg's oom logic as.
 * If memcg causes OOM-kill, continue to retry.
 * remove jiffies check which is used now.
 * add memcg-oom-lock which works like perzone oom lock.
 * If current is killed(as a process), bypass charge.

Something more sophisticated can be added but this pactch does
fundamental things.
TODO:
 - add oom notifier
 - add permemcg disable-oom-kill flag and freezer at oom.
 - more chances for wake up oom waiter (when changing memory limit etc..)

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki d8046582d5 memcg: make memcg's file mapped consistent with global VM
In global VM, FILE_MAPPED is used but memcg uses MAPPED_FILE.  This makes
grep difficult.  Replace memcg's MAPPED_FILE with FILE_MAPPED

And in global VM, mapped shared memory is accounted into FILE_MAPPED.
But memcg doesn't. fix it.
Note:
  page_is_file_cache() just checks SwapBacked or not.
  So, we need to check PageAnon.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 569b846df5 memcg: coalesce uncharge during unmap/truncate
In massive parallel enviroment, res_counter can be a performance
bottleneck.  One strong techinque to reduce lock contention is reducing
calls by coalescing some amount of calls into one.

Considering charge/uncharge chatacteristic,
	- charge is done one by one via demand-paging.
	- uncharge is done by
		- in chunk at munmap, truncate, exit, execve...
		- one by one via vmscan/paging.

It seems we have a chance to coalesce uncharges for improving scalability
at unmap/truncation.

This patch is a for coalescing uncharge.  For avoiding scattering memcg's
structure to functions under /mm, this patch adds memcg batch uncharge
information to the task.  A reason for per-task batching is for making use
of caller's context information.  We do batched uncharge (deleyed
uncharge) when truncation/unmap occurs but do direct uncharge when
uncharge is called by memory reclaim (vmscan.c).

The degree of coalescing depends on callers
  - at invalidate/trucate... pagevec size
  - at unmap ....ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE
(memory itself will be freed in this degree.)
Then, we'll not coalescing too much.

On x86-64 8cpu server, I tested overheads of memcg at page fault by
running a program which does map/fault/unmap in a loop. Running
a task per a cpu by taskset and see sum of the number of page faults
in 60secs.

[without memcg config]
  40156968  page-faults              #      0.085 M/sec   ( +-   0.046% )
  27.67 cache-miss/faults
[root cgroup]
  36659599  page-faults              #      0.077 M/sec   ( +-   0.247% )
  31.58 miss/faults
[in a child cgroup]
  18444157  page-faults              #      0.039 M/sec   ( +-   0.133% )
  69.96 miss/faults
[child with this patch]
  27133719  page-faults              #      0.057 M/sec   ( +-   0.155% )
  47.16 miss/faults

We can see some amounts of improvement.
(root cgroup doesn't affected by this patch)
Another patch for "charge" will follow this and above will be improved more.

Changelog(since 2009/10/02):
 - renamed filed of memcg_batch (as pages to bytes, memsw to memsw_bytes)
 - some clean up and commentary/description updates.
 - added initialize code to copy_process(). (possible bug fix)

Changelog(old):
 - fixed !CONFIG_MEM_CGROUP case.
 - rebased onto the latest mmotm + softlimit fix patches.
 - unified patch for callers
 - added commetns.
 - make ->do_batch as bool.
 - removed css_get() at el. We don't need it.

Balbir Singh 4e41695356 memory controller: soft limit reclaim on contention
Implement reclaim from groups over their soft limit

Permit reclaim from memory cgroups on contention (via the direct reclaim
path).

memory cgroup soft limit reclaim finds the group that exceeds its soft
limit by the largest number of pages and reclaims pages from it and then
reinserts the cgroup into its correct place in the rbtree.

Add additional checks to mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim() to detect long
loops in case all swap is turned off.  The code has been refactored and
the loop check (loop < 2) has been enhanced for soft limits.  For soft
limits, we try to do more targetted reclaim.  Instead of bailing out after
two loops, the routine now reclaims memory proportional to the size by
which the soft limit is exceeded.  The proportion has been empirically
determined.

Balbir Singh d69b042f3d memcg: add file-based RSS accounting
Add file RSS tracking per memory cgroup

We currently don't track file RSS, the RSS we report is actually anon RSS.
 All the file mapped pages, come in through the page cache and get
accounted there.  This patch adds support for accounting file RSS pages.
It should

1. Help improve the metrics reported by the memory resource controller
2. Will form the basis for a future shared memory accounting heuristic
   that has been proposed by Kamezawa.

Unfortunately, we cannot rename the existing "rss" keyword used in
memory.stat to "anon_rss".  We however, add "mapped_file" data and hope to
educate the end user through documentation.

Rik van Riel 56e49d2188 vmscan: evict use-once pages first
When the file LRU lists are dominated by streaming IO pages, evict those
pages first, before considering evicting other pages.

This should be safe from deadlocks or performance problems
because only three things can happen to an inactive file page:

1) referenced twice and promoted to the active list
2) evicted by the pageout code
3) under IO, after which it will get evicted or promoted

The pages freed in this way can either be reused for streaming IO, or
allocated for something else.  If the pages are used for streaming IO,
this pageout pattern continues.  Otherwise, we will fall back to the
normal pageout pattern.

Daisuke Nishimura ae3abae64f memcg: fix mem_cgroup_shrink_usage()
Current mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() has two problems.

1. It doesn't call mem_cgroup_out_of_memory and doesn't update
   last_oom_jiffies, so pagefault_out_of_memory invokes global OOM.

2. Considering hierarchy, shrinking has to be done from the
   mem_over_limit, not from the memcg which the page would be charged to.

mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() does all of these things properly, so we
use it and call cancel_charge_swapin when it succeeded.

The name of "shrink_usage" is not appropriate for this behavior, so we
change it too.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki b5a84319a4 memcg: fix shmem's swap accounting
Now, you can see following even when swap accounting is enabled.

 1. Create Group 01, and 02.
 2. allocate a "file" on tmpfs by a task under 01.
 3. swap out the "file" (by memory pressure)
 4. Read "file" from a task in group 02.
 5. the charge of "file" is moved to group 02.

This is not ideal behavior. This is because SwapCache which was loaded
by read-ahead is not taken into account..

This is a patch to fix shmem's swapcache behavior.
  - remove mem_cgroup_cache_charge_swapin().
  - Add SwapCache handler routine to mem_cgroup_cache_charge().
    By this, shmem's file cache is charged at add_to_page_cache()
    with GFP_NOWAIT.
  - pass the page of swapcache to shrink_mem_cgroup.

because page_alloc.c does so and current implementation is straightforward
porting.

However, memcg introduced hierarchy feature recently.  In hierarchy
restriction, memory limit is not only decided memory.limit_in_bytes of
current cgroup, but also parent limit and sibling memory usage.

Then, The optimal inactive_ratio is changed frequently.  So, everytime
calculation is better.

The inactive_anon_is_low() is key component of active/inactive anon

only consider global reclaim.

Therefore, we need following ugly scan_global_lru() condition.

	    (!scan_global_lru(sc) || inactive_anon_is_low(zone))) {
		shrink_active_list(nr_to_scan, zone, sc, priority, file);
		return 0;

it cause that memcg reclaim always deactivate pages when shrink_list() is
called.  To make mem_cgroup_inactive_anon_is_low() improve active/inactive
anon balancing of memcgroup.

system-wide-oom handling happens.  (means kernel panics if panic_on_oom is
true....)

To avoid overkill, check memcg's recent behavior before starting
system-wide-oom.

And this patch also fixes to guarantee "don't accnout against process with
TIF_MEMDIE".  This is necessary for smooth OOM.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 08e552c69c memcg: synchronized LRU
A big patch for changing memcg's LRU semantics.

Now,
  - page_cgroup is linked to mem_cgroup's its own LRU (per zone).

  - LRU of page_cgroup is not synchronous with global LRU.

  - page and page_cgroup is one-to-one and statically allocated.

  - To find page_cgroup is on what LRU, you have to check pc->mem_cgroup as
    - lru = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc, nid_of_pc, zid_of_pc);

  - SwapCache is handled.

And, when we handle LRU list of page_cgroup, we do following.

	pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
	lock_page_cgroup(pc); .....................(1)
	mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc);
	spin_lock(&mz->lru_lock);
	.....add to LRU
	spin_unlock(&mz->lru_lock);
	unlock_page_cgroup(pc);

But (1) is spin_lock and we have to be afraid of dead-lock with zone->lru_lock.
So, trylock() is used at (1), now. Without (1), we can't trust "mz" is correct.

This is a trial to remove this dirty nesting of locks.
This patch changes mz->lru_lock to be zone->lru_lock.
Then, above sequence will be written as

        spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU
	mem_cgroup_add/remove/etc_lru() {
		pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
		mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc);
		if (PageCgroupUsed(pc)) {
			....add to LRU
		}
        spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU

This is much simpler.
(*) We're safe even if we don't take lock_page_cgroup(pc). Because..
    1. When pc->mem_cgroup can be modified.
       - at charge.
       - at account_move().
    2. at charge
       the PCG_USED bit is not set before pc->mem_cgroup is fixed.
    3. at account_move()
       the page is isolated and not on LRU.

Pros.
  - easy for maintenance.
  - memcg can make use of laziness of pagevec.
  - we don't have to duplicated LRU/Active/Unevictable bit in page_cgroup.
  - LRU status of memcg will be synchronized with global LRU's one.
  - # of locks are reduced.
  - account_move() is simplified very much.
Cons.
  - may increase cost of LRU rotation.
    (no impact if memcg is not configured.)

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 8c7c6e34a1 memcg: mem+swap controller core
This patch implements per cgroup limit for usage of memory+swap.  However
there are SwapCache, double counting of swap-cache and swap-entry is
avoided.

Mem+Swap controller works as following.
  - memory usage is limited by memory.limit_in_bytes.
  - memory + swap usage is limited by memory.memsw_limit_in_bytes.

This has following benefits.
  - A user can limit total resource usage of mem+swap.

    Without this, because memory resource controller doesn't take care of
    usage of swap, a process can exhaust all the swap (by memory leak.)
    We can avoid this case.

    And Swap is shared resource but it cannot be reclaimed (goes back to memory)
    until it's used. This characteristic can be trouble when the memory
    is divided into some parts by cpuset or memcg.
    Assume group A and group B.
    After some application executes, the system can be..

    Group A -- very large free memory space but occupy 99% of swap.
    Group B -- under memory shortage but cannot use swap...it's nearly full.

    Ability to set appropriate swap limit for each group is required.

Maybe someone wonder "why not swap but mem+swap ?"

  - The global LRU(kswapd) can swap out arbitrary pages. Swap-out means
    to move account from memory to swap...there is no change in usage of
    mem+swap.

    In other words, when we want to limit the usage of swap without affecting
    global LRU, mem+swap limit is better than just limiting swap.

Accounting target information is stored in swap_cgroup which is
per swap entry record.

Charge is done as following.
  map
    - charge  page and memsw.

  unmap
    - uncharge page/memsw if not SwapCache.

  swap-out (__delete_from_swap_cache)
    - uncharge page
    - record mem_cgroup information to swap_cgroup.

  swap-in (do_swap_page)
    - charged as page and memsw.
      record in swap_cgroup is cleared.
      memsw accounting is decremented.

  swap-free (swap_free())
    - if swap entry is freed, memsw is uncharged by PAGE_SIZE.

There are people work under never-swap environments and consider swap as
something bad. For such people, this mem+swap controller extension is just an
overhead.  This overhead is avoided by config or boot option.
(see Kconfig. detail is not in this patch.)

TODO:
 - maybe more optimization can be don in swap-in path. (but not very safe.)
   But we just do simple accounting at this stage.

For accounting swap, it's obvious that we have to use additional memory to

This patch adds 2 parameters to enable swap extension or not.
  - CONFIG

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 01b1ae63c2 memcg: simple migration handling
Now, management of "charge" under page migration is done under following
manner. (Assume migrate page contents from oldpage to newpage)

 before
  - "newpage" is charged before migration.
 at success.
  - "oldpage" is uncharged at somewhere(unmap, radix-tree-replace)
 at failure
  - "newpage" is uncharged.
  - "oldpage" is charged if necessary (*1)

But (*1) is not reliable....because of GFP_ATOMIC.

This patch tries to change behavior as following by charge/commit/cancel ops.

 before
  - charge PAGE_SIZE (no target page)
 success
  - commit charge against "newpage".
 failure
  - commit charge against "oldpage".
    (PCG_USED bit works effectively to avoid double-counting)
  - if "oldpage" is obsolete, cancel charge of PAGE_SIZE.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 7a81b88cb5 memcg: introduce charge-commit-cancel style of functions
There is a small race in do_swap_page().  When the page swapped-in is
charged, the mapcount can be greater than 0.  But, at the same time some
process (shares it ) call unmap and make mapcount 1->0 and the page is
uncharged.

      CPUA 			CPUB
       mapcount == 1.
   (1) charge if mapcount==0     zap_pte_range()
                                (2) mapcount 1 => 0.
			        (3) uncharge(). (success)
   (4) set page's rmap()
       mapcount 0=>1

Then, this swap page's account is leaked.

For fixing this, I added a new interface.
  - charge
   account to res_counter by PAGE_SIZE and try to free pages if necessary.
  - commit
   register page_cgroup and add to LRU if necessary.
  - cancel
   uncharge PAGE_SIZE because of do_swap_page failure.

     CPUA
  (1) charge (always)
  (2) set page's rmap (mapcount > 0)
  (3) commit charge was necessary or not after set_pte().

This protocol uses PCG_USED bit on page_cgroup for avoiding over accounting.
Usual mem_cgroup_charge_common() does charge -> commit at a time.

And this patch also adds following function to clarify all charges.

  - mem_cgroup_newpage_charge() ....replacement for mem_cgroup_charge()
	called against newly allocated anon pages.

  - mem_cgroup_charge_migrate_fixup()
        called only from remove_migration_ptes().
	we'll have to rewrite this later.(this patch just keeps old behavior)
	This function will be removed by additional patch to make migration
	clearer.

Good for clarifying "what we do"

Then, we have 4 following charge points.
  - newpage
  - swap-in
  - add-to-cache.
  - migration.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 52d4b9ac0b memcg: allocate all page_cgroup at boot
Allocate all page_cgroup at boot and remove page_cgroup poitner from
struct page.  This patch adds an interface as

 struct page_cgroup *lookup_page_cgroup(struct page*)

All FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM/SPARSEMEM  and MEMORY_HOTPLUG is supported.

Remove page_cgroup pointer reduces the amount of memory by
 - 4 bytes per PAGE_SIZE.
 - 8 bytes per PAGE_SIZE
if memory controller is disabled. (even if configured.)

On usual 8GB x86-32 server, this saves 8MB of NORMAL_ZONE memory.
On my x86-64 server with 48GB of memory, this saves 96MB of memory.
I think this reduction makes sense.

By pre-allocation, kmalloc/kfree in charge/uncharge are removed.
This means
  - we're not necessary to be afraid of kmalloc faiulre.
    (this can happen because of gfp_mask type.)
  - we can avoid calling kmalloc/kfree.
  - we can avoid allocating tons of small objects which can be fragmented.
  - we can know what amount of memory will be used for this extra-lru handling.

I added printk message as

	"allocated %ld bytes of page_cgroup"
        "please try cgroup_disable=memory option if you don't want"

maybe enough informative for users.

Lee Schermerhorn 894bc31041 Unevictable LRU Infrastructure
When the system contains lots of mlocked or otherwise unevictable pages,
the pageout code (kswapd) can spend lots of time scanning over these
pages.  Worse still, the presence of lots of unevictable pages can confuse
kswapd into thinking that more aggressive pageout modes are required,
resulting in all kinds of bad behaviour.

Infrastructure to manage pages excluded from reclaim--i.e., hidden from
vmscan.  Based on a patch by Larry Woodman of Red Hat.  Reworked to
maintain "unevictable" pages on a separate per-zone LRU list, to "hide"
them from vmscan.

Kosaki Motohiro added the support for the memory controller unevictable
lru list.

Pages on the unevictable list have both PG_unevictable and PG_lru set.
Thus, PG_unevictable is analogous to and mutually exclusive with
PG_active--it specifies which LRU list the page is on.

The unevictable infrastructure is enabled by a new mm Kconfig option
[CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU.

A new function 'page_evictable(page, vma)' in vmscan.c tests whether or
not a page may be evictable.  Subsequent patches will add the various
!evictable tests.  We'll want to keep these tests light-weight for use in
shrink_active_list() and, possibly, the fault path.

To avoid races between tasks putting pages [back] onto an LRU list and
tasks that might be moving the page from non-evictable to evictable state,
the new function 'putback_lru_page()' -- inverse to 'isolate_lru_page()'
-- tests the "evictability" of a page after placing it on the LRU, before
dropping the reference.  If the page has become unevictable,
putback_lru_page() will redo the 'putback', thus moving the page to the
unevictable list.  This way, we avoid "stranding" evictable pages on the
unevictable list.

Rik van Riel 4f98a2fee8 vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets
Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file
systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap
("anon").  The latter includes tmpfs.

The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots
of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to
find the page cache pages that it should evict.

This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much
we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists.  The big
policy changes are in separate patches.

Now, shmem calls mem_cgroup_charge() just for reclaim some pages from
mem_cgroup.  In general, shmem is used by some process group and not for
global resource (like file caches).  So, it's reasonable to reclaim pages
from mem_cgroup where shmem is mainly used.

This patch:

Remove refcnt from page_cgroup().

After this,

 * A page is charged only when !page_mapped() && no page_cgroup is assigned.
	* Anon page is newly mapped.
	* File page is added to mapping->tree.

 * A page is uncharged only when
	* Anon page is fully unmapped.
	* File page is removed from LRU.

There is no change in behavior from user's view.

This patch also removes unnecessary calls in rmap.c which was used only for
refcnt mangement.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki e8589cc189 memcg: better migration handling
This patch changes page migration under memory controller to use a
different algorithm.  (thanks to Christoph for new idea.)

Before:
 - page_cgroup is migrated from an old page to a new page.
After:
 - a new page is accounted , no reuse of page_cgroup.

Pros:

 - We can avoid compliated lock depndencies and races in migration.

Cons:

 - new param to mem_cgroup_charge_common().

 - mem_cgroup_getref() is added for handling ref_cnt ping-pong.

This version simplifies complicated lock dependency in page migraiton
under memory resource controller.

  new refcnt sequence is following.

a mapped page:
  prepage_migration() ..... +1 to NEW page
  try_to_unmap()      ..... all refs to OLD page is gone.
  move_pages()        ..... +1 to NEW page if page cache.
  remap...            ..... all refs from *map* is added to NEW one.
  end_migration()     ..... -1 to New page.

  page's mapcount + (page_is_cache) refs are added to NEW one.

Balbir Singh cf475ad28a cgroups: add an owner to the mm_struct
Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner.

This approach was suggested by Paul Menage.  The advantage of this approach
is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup
can be determined.  It also allows several control groups that are
virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory
controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to
mm_struct.

A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource
controller selects this config option.

This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner
changes.  The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of
the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner.

I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and
helping me make it lighter and simpler.

This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the
MM_OWNER config turned on and off.

After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by
cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be
redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.

Hugh Dickins 8289546e57 memcg: remove mem_cgroup_uncharge
Nothing uses mem_cgroup_uncharge apart from mem_cgroup_uncharge_page, (a
trivial wrapper around it) and mem_cgroup_end_migration (which does the same
as mem_cgroup_uncharge_page).  And it often ends up having to lock just to let
its caller unlock.  Remove it (but leave the silly locking until a later
patch).

Moved mem_cgroup_cache_charge next to mem_cgroup_charge in memcontrol.h.

Hugh Dickins 9442ec9df4 memcg: bad page if page_cgroup when free
Replace free_hot_cold_page's VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) by a "Bad
page state" and clear: most users don't have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM on, and if it
were set here, it'd likely cause corruption when the page is reused.

Don't use page_assign_page_cgroup to clear it: that should be private to
memcontrol.c, and always called with the lock taken; and memmap_init_zone
doesn't need it either - like page->mapping and other pointers throughout the
kernel, Linux assumes pointers in zeroed structures are NULL pointers.

Instead use page_reset_bad_cgroup, added to memcontrol.h for this only.

  I've run allmodconfig builds on a bunch of target, FWIW (essentially the
  same patch).  Note that these includes are recent addition caused by added
  inline function that had since then become a define.  So while I agree with
  your comments in general, in _this_ case it's pretty safe.

  The commit that had done it is 3062fc67da
  ("memcontrol: move mm_cgroup to header file") and the switch to #define
  is in commit 60c12b1202 ("memcontrol: add
  vm_match_cgroup()") (BTW, that probably warranted mentioning in the
  changelog of the latter).

mm_cgroup() is exclusively used to test whether an mm's mem_cgroup pointer
is pointing to a specific cgroup.  Instead of returning the pointer, we can
just do the test itself in a new macro:

	vm_match_cgroup(mm, cgroup)

returns non-zero if the mm's mem_cgroup points to cgroup.  Otherwise it
returns zero.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki ae41be3742 bugfix for memory cgroup controller: migration under memory controller fix
While using memory control cgroup, page-migration under it works as following.
==
 1. uncharge all refs at try to unmap.
 2. charge regs again remove_migration_ptes()
==
This is simple but has following problems.
==
 The page is uncharged and charged back again if *mapped*.
    - This means that cgroup before migration can be different from one after
      migration
    - If page is not mapped but charged as page cache, charge is just ignored
      (because not mapped, it will not be uncharged before migration)
      This is memory leak.
==
This patch tries to keep memory cgroup at page migration by increasing
one refcnt during it. 3 functions are added.

 mem_cgroup_prepare_migration() --- increase refcnt of page->page_cgroup
 mem_cgroup_end_migration()     --- decrease refcnt of page->page_cgroup
 mem_cgroup_page_migration() --- copy page->page_cgroup from old page to
                                 new page.

During migration
  - old page is under PG_locked.
  - new page is under PG_locked, too.
  - both old page and new page is not on LRU.

These 3 facts guarantee that page_cgroup() migration has no race.

Tested and worked well in x86_64/fake-NUMA box.

David Rientjes 4c4a221489 memcontrol: move oom task exclusion to tasklist scan
Creates a helper function to return non-zero if a task is a member of a
memory controller:

	int task_in_mem_cgroup(const struct task_struct *task,
			       const struct mem_cgroup *mem);

When the OOM killer is constrained by the memory controller, the exclusion
of tasks that are not a member of that controller was previously misplaced
and appeared in the badness scoring function.  It should be excluded
during the tasklist scan in select_bad_process() instead.

Balbir Singh e1a1cd590e Memory controller: make charging gfp mask aware
Nick Piggin pointed out that swap cache and page cache addition routines
could be called from non GFP_KERNEL contexts.  This patch makes the
charging routine aware of the gfp context.  Charging might fail if the
cgroup is over it's limit, in which case a suitable error is returned.

This patch was tested on a Powerpc box.  I am still looking at being able
to test the path, through which allocations happen in non GFP_KERNEL
contexts.

Balbir Singh bed7161a51 Memory controller: make page_referenced() cgroup aware
Make page_referenced() cgroup aware.  Without this patch, page_referenced()
can cause a page to be skipped while reclaiming pages.  This patch ensures
that other cgroups do not hold pages in a particular cgroup hostage.  It
is required to ensure that shared pages are freed from a cgroup when they
are not actively referenced from the cgroup that brought them in

Choose if we want cached pages to be accounted or not.  By default both are

echo -n 1 > mem_control_type

switches the accounting to account for only mapped pages

echo -n 3 > mem_control_type

switches the behaviour back

Balbir Singh 66e1707bc3 Memory controller: add per cgroup LRU and reclaim
Add the page_cgroup to the per cgroup LRU.  The reclaim algorithm has
been modified to make the isolate_lru_pages() as a pluggable component.  The
scan_control data structure now accepts the cgroup on behalf of which
reclaims are carried out.  try_to_free_pages() has been extended to become
cgroup aware.

Balbir Singh 8a9f3ccd24 Memory controller: memory accounting
Add the accounting hooks.  The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page
Cache (unmapped) pages.  There is now a common limit and accounting for both.
The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap()
time.  Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(),
__delete_from_page_cache().  Swap cache is also accounted for.

Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the
page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving
simultaneous mappings of a page easier.  A reference count is kept in the
page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS
of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache.

Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work
of the page cgroup.  Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help
from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.
