KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 312734c04e memcg: remove PCG_MOVE_LOCK flag from page_cgroup
PCG_MOVE_LOCK is used for bit spinlock to avoid race between overwriting
pc->mem_cgroup and page statistics accounting per memcg.  This lock helps
to avoid the race but the race is very rare because moving tasks between
cgroup is not a usual job.  So, it seems using 1bit per page is too
costly.

This patch changes this lock as per-memcg spinlock and removes
PCG_MOVE_LOCK.

If smaller lock is required, we'll be able to add some hashes but I'd like
to start from this.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki b24028572f memcg: remove PCG_CACHE page_cgroup flag
We record 'the page is cache' with the PCG_CACHE bit in page_cgroup.
Here, "CACHE" means anonymous user pages (and SwapCache).  This doesn't
include shmem.

Considering callers, at charge/uncharge, the caller should know what the
page is and we don't need to record it by using one bit per page.

This patch removes PCG_CACHE bit and make callers of
mem_cgroup_charge_statistics() to specify what the page is.

About page migration: Mapping of the used page is not touched during migra
tion (see page_remove_rmap) so we can rely on it and push the correct
charge type down to __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common from end_migration for
unused page.  The force flag was misleading was abused for skipping the
needless page_mapped() / PageCgroupMigration() check, as we know the
unused page is no longer mapped and cleared the migration flag just a few
lines up.  But doing the checks is no biggie and it's not worth adding
another flag just to skip them.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 38c5d72f3e memcg: simplify LRU handling by new rule
Now, at LRU handling, memory cgroup needs to do complicated works to see
valid pc->mem_cgroup, which may be overwritten.

This patch is for relaxing the protocol. This patch guarantees
   - when pc->mem_cgroup is overwritten, page must not be on LRU.

By this, LRU routine can believe pc->mem_cgroup and don't need to check
bits on pc->flags.  This new rule may adds small overheads to swapin.  But
in most case, lru handling gets faster.

After this patch, PCG_ACCT_LRU bit is obsolete and removed.

Now that the per-memory cgroup LRU lists link page descriptors directly,

but not the struct page.

Now that all code that operated on global per-zone LRU lists is
converted to operate on per-memory cgroup LRU lists instead, there is no
reason to keep the double-LRU scheme around any longer.

The pc->lru member is removed and page->lru is linked directly to the
per-memory cgroup LRU lists, which removes two pointers from a
descriptor that exists for every page frame in the system.

In struct page_cgroup, we have a full word for flags but only a few are
reserved.  Use the remaining upper bits to encode, depending on
configuration, the node or the section, to enable page_cgroup-to-page

This saves a full word for every page in a system with memory cgroups

Instead of passing a whole struct page_cgroup to this function, let it
take only what it really needs from it: the struct mem_cgroup and the
page.

This has the advantage that reading pc->mem_cgroup is now done at the same
place where the ordering rules for this pointer are enforced and
explained.

It is also in preparation for removing the pc->page backpointer.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki dbd4ea78f0 memcg: add lock to synchronize page accounting and migration
Introduce a new bit spin lock, PCG_MOVE_LOCK, to synchronize the page
accounting and migration code.  This reworks the locking scheme of
_update_stat() and _move_account() by adding new lock bit PCG_MOVE_LOCK,
which is always taken under IRQ disable.

1. If pages are being migrated from a memcg, then updates to that
   memcg page statistics are protected by grabbing PCG_MOVE_LOCK using
   move_lock_page_cgroup().  In an upcoming commit, memcg dirty page
   accounting will be updating memcg page accounting (specifically: num
   writeback pages) from IRQ context (softirq).  Avoid a deadlocking
   nested spin lock attempt by disabling irq on the local processor when
   grabbing the PCG_MOVE_LOCK.

2. lock for update_page_stat is used only for avoiding race with
   move_account().  So, IRQ awareness of lock_page_cgroup() itself is not
   a problem.  The problem is between mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() and
   mem_cgroup_move_account_page().

Trade-off:
  * Changing lock_page_cgroup() to always disable IRQ (or
    local_bh) has some impacts on performance and I think
    it's bad to disable IRQ when it's not necessary.
  * adding a new lock makes move_account() slower.  Score is
    here.

Performance Impact: moving a 8G anon process.

Before:
	real    0m0.792s
	user    0m0.000s
	sys     0m0.780s

After:
	real    0m0.854s
	user    0m0.000s
	sys     0m0.842s

This score is bad but planned patches for optimization can reduce
this impact.

Greg Thelen db16d5ec1f memcg: add page_cgroup flags for dirty page tracking
This patchset provides the ability for each cgroup to have independent
dirty page limits.

Limiting dirty memory is like fixing the max amount of dirty (hard to
reclaim) page cache used by a cgroup.  So, in case of multiple cgroup
writers, they will not be able to consume more than their designated share
of dirty pages and will be forced to perform write-out if they cross that
limit.

The patches are based on a series proposed by Andrea Righi in Mar 2010.

Overview:

- Add page_cgroup flags to record when pages are dirty, in writeback, or nfs
  unstable.

- Extend mem_cgroup to record the total number of pages in each of the
  interesting dirty states (dirty, writeback, unstable_nfs).

- Add dirty parameters similar to the system-wide  /proc/sys/vm/dirty_*
  limits to mem_cgroup.  The mem_cgroup dirty parameters are accessible
  via cgroupfs control files.

- Consider both system and per-memcg dirty limits in page writeback when
  deciding to queue background writeback or block for foreground writeback.

Known shortcomings:

- When a cgroup dirty limit is exceeded, then bdi writeback is employed to
  writeback dirty inodes.  Bdi writeback considers inodes from any cgroup, not
  just inodes contributing dirty pages to the cgroup exceeding its limit.

- When memory.use_hierarchy is set, then dirty limits are disabled.  This is a
  implementation detail.  An enhanced implementation is needed to check the
  chain of parents to ensure that no dirty limit is exceeded.

Performance data:
- A page fault microbenchmark workload was used to measure performance, which
  can be called in read or write mode:
        f = open(foo. $cpu)
        truncate(f, 4096)
        alarm(60)
        while (1) {
                p = mmap(f, 4096)
                if (write)
			*p = 1
		else
			x = *p
                munmap(p)
        }

- The workload was called for several points in the patch series in different
  modes:
  - s_read is a single threaded reader
  - s_write is a single threaded writer
  - p_read is a 16 thread reader, each operating on a different file
  - p_write is a 16 thread writer, each operating on a different file

- Measurements were collected on a 16 core non-numa system using "perf stat
  --repeat 3".  The -a option was used for parallel (p_*) runs.

- All numbers are page fault rate (M/sec).  Higher is better.

- To compare the performance of a kernel without non-memcg compare the first and
  last rows, neither has memcg configured.  The first row does not include any
  of these memcg patches.

- To compare the performance of using memcg dirty limits, compare the baseline
  (2nd row titled "w/ memcg") with the the code and memcg enabled (2nd to last
  row titled "all patches").

lock_page_cgroup and unlock_page_cgroup are implemented using
bit_spinlock.  bit_spinlock doesn't touch the bit if we are on non-SMP
machine, so we can't use the bit to check whether the lock was taken.

Let's introduce is_page_cgroup_locked based on bit_spin_is_locked instead
of PageCgroupLocked to fix it.

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.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 8725d54162 memcg: fix race in file_mapped accounting
Presently, memcg's FILE_MAPPED accounting has following race with
move_account (happens at rmdir()).

    increment page->mapcount (rmap.c)
    mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped()           move_account()
					      lock_page_cgroup()
					      check page_mapped() if
					      page_mapped(page)>1 {
						FILE_MAPPED -1 from old memcg
						FILE_MAPPED +1 to old memcg
					      }
					      .....
					      overwrite pc->mem_cgroup
					      unlock_page_cgroup()
    lock_page_cgroup()
    FILE_MAPPED + 1 to pc->mem_cgroup
    unlock_page_cgroup()

Then,
	old memcg (-1 file mapped)
	new memcg (+2 file mapped)

This happens because move_account see page_mapped() which is not guarded
by lock_page_cgroup().  This patch adds FILE_MAPPED flag to page_cgroup
and move account information based on it.  Now, all checks are synchronous
with lock_page_cgroup().

Daisuke Nishimura 024914477e memcg: move charges of anonymous swap
This patch is another core part of this move-charge-at-task-migration
feature.  It enables moving charges of anonymous swaps.

To move the charge of swap, we need to exchange swap_cgroup's record.

In current implementation, swap_cgroup's record is protected by:

  - page lock: if the entry is on swap cache.
  - swap_lock: if the entry is not on swap cache.

This works well in usual swap-in/out activity.

But this behavior make the feature of moving swap charge check many
conditions to exchange swap_cgroup's record safely.

So I changed modification of swap_cgroup's recored(swap_cgroup_record())
to use xchg, and define a new function to cmpxchg swap_cgroup's record.

This patch also enables moving charge of non pte_present but not uncharged
swap caches, which can be exist on swap-out path, by getting the target
pages via find_get_page() as do_mincore() does.

Daisuke Nishimura 57f9fd7d25 memcg: cleanup mem_cgroup_move_parent()
mem_cgroup_move_parent() calls try_charge first and cancel_charge on
failure.  IMHO, charge/uncharge(especially charge) is high cost operation,
so we should avoid it as far as possible.

This patch tries to delay try_charge in mem_cgroup_move_parent() by
re-ordering checks it does.

And this patch renames mem_cgroup_move_account() to
__mem_cgroup_move_account(), changes the return value of
__mem_cgroup_move_account() from int to void, and adds a new
wrapper(mem_cgroup_move_account()), which checks whether a @pc is valid
for moving account and calls __mem_cgroup_move_account().

This patch removes the last caller of trylock_page_cgroup(), so removes
its definition too.

Change the memory cgroup to remove the overhead associated with accounting
all pages in the root cgroup.  As a side-effect, we can no longer set a
memory hard limit in the root cgroup.

A new flag to track whether the page has been accounted or not has been
added as well.  Flags are now set atomically for page_cgroup,
pcg_default_flags is now obsolete and removed.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki ca371c0d7e memcg: fix page_cgroup fatal error in FLATMEM
Now, SLAB is configured in very early stage and it can be used in
init routine now.

But replacing alloc_bootmem() in FLAT/DISCONTIGMEM's page_cgroup()
initialization breaks the allocation, now.
(Works well in SPARSEMEM case...it supports MEMORY_HOTPLUG and
 size of page_cgroup is in reasonable size (< 1 << MAX_ORDER.)

This patch revive FLATMEM+memory cgroup by using alloc_bootmem.

In future,
We stop to support FLATMEM (if no users) or rewrite codes for flatmem
completely.But this will adds more messy codes and overheads.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki a3b2d69269 cgroups: use css id in swap cgroup for saving memory v5
Try to use CSS ID for records in swap_cgroup.  By this, on 64bit machine,
size of swap_cgroup goes down to 2 bytes from 8bytes.

This means, when 2GB of swap is equipped, (assume the page size is 4096bytes)

	From size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 8 = 4Mbytes.
	To   size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 2 = 1Mbytes.

Reduction is large.  Of course, there are trade-offs.  This CSS ID will
add overhead to swap-in/swap-out/swap-free.

But in general,
  - swap is a resource which the user tend to avoid use.
  - If swap is never used, swap_cgroup area is not used.
  - Reading traditional manuals, size of swap should be proportional to
    size of memory. Memory size of machine is increasing now.

I think reducing size of swap_cgroup makes sense.

Note:
  - ID->CSS lookup routine has no locks, it's under RCU-Read-Side.
  - memcg can be obsolete at rmdir() but not freed while refcnt from
    swap_cgroup is available.

Changelog v4->v5:
 - reworked on to memcg-charge-swapcache-to-proper-memcg.patch
Changlog ->v4:
 - fixed not configured case.
 - deleted unnecessary comments.
 - fixed NULL pointer bug.
 - fixed message in dmesg.

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 27a7faa077 memcg: swap cgroup for remembering usage
For accounting swap, we need a record per swap entry, at least.

This patch adds following function.
  - swap_cgroup_swapon() .... called from swapon
  - swap_cgroup_swapoff() ... called at the end of swapoff.

  - swap_cgroup_record() .... record information of swap entry.
  - swap_cgroup_lookup() .... lookup information of swap entry.

This patch just implements "how to record information".  No actual method
for limit the usage of swap.  These routine uses flat table to record and
lookup.  "wise" lookup system like radix-tree requires requires memory
allocation at new records but swap-out is usually called under memory
shortage (or memcg hits limit.) So, I used static allocation.  (maybe
dynamic allocation is not very hard but it adds additional memory
allocation in memory shortage path.)

Note1: In this, we use pointer to record information and this means
      8bytes per swap entry. I think we can reduce this when we
      create "id of cgroup" in the range of 0-65535 or 0-255.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 94b6da5ab8 memcg: fix page_cgroup allocation
page_cgroup_init() is called from mem_cgroup_init(). But at this
point, we cannot call alloc_bootmem().
(and this caused panic at boot.)

This patch moves page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c.

Time table is following:
==
  parse_args(). # we can trust mem_cgroup_subsys.disabled bit after this.
  ....
  cgroup_init_early()  # "early" init of cgroup.
  ....
  setup_arch()         # memmap is allocated.
  ...
  page_cgroup_init();
  mem_init();   # we cannot call alloc_bootmem after this.
  ....
  cgroup_init() # mem_cgroup is initialized.
==

Before page_cgroup_init(), mem_map must be initialized. So,
I added page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c directly.

(*) maybe this is not very clean but
    - cgroup_init_early() is too early
    - in cgroup_init(), we have to use vmalloc instead of alloc_bootmem().
    use of vmalloc area in x86-32 is important and we should avoid very large
    vmalloc() in x86-32. So, we want to use alloc_bootmem() and added page_cgroup_init()
    directly to init/main.c

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.
