[ Upstream commit 41eb5df1cbc9b302fc263ad7c9f38cfc38b4df61 ]
Patch series "mm: memcg/slab: Fix objcg pointer array handling problem", v4.
Since the merging of the new slab memory controller in v5.9, the page
structure stores a pointer to objcg pointer array for slab pages. When
the slab has no used objects, it can be freed in free_slab() which will
call kfree() to free the objcg pointer array in
memcg_alloc_page_obj_cgroups(). If it happens that the objcg pointer
array is the last used object in its slab, that slab may then be freed
which may caused kfree() to be called again.
With the right workload, the slab cache may be set up in a way that allows
the recursive kfree() calling loop to nest deep enough to cause a kernel
stack overflow and panic the system. In fact, we have a reproducer that
can cause kernel stack overflow on a s390 system involving kmalloc-rcl-256
and kmalloc-rcl-128 slabs with the following kfree() loop recursively
called 74 times:
[ 285.520739] [<000000000ec432fc>] kfree+0x4bc/0x560 [ 285.520740]
[<000000000ec43466>] __free_slab+0xc6/0x228 [ 285.520741]
[<000000000ec41fc2>] __slab_free+0x3c2/0x3e0 [ 285.520742]
[<000000000ec432fc>] kfree+0x4bc/0x560 : While investigating this issue, I
also found an issue on the allocation side. If the objcg pointer array
happen to come from the same slab or a circular dependency linkage is
formed with multiple slabs, those affected slabs can never be freed again.
This patch series addresses these two issues by introducing a new set of
kmalloc-cg-<n> caches split from kmalloc-<n> caches. The new set will
only contain non-reclaimable and non-dma objects that are accounted in
memory cgroups whereas the old set are now for unaccounted objects only.
By making this split, all the objcg pointer arrays will come from the
kmalloc-<n> caches, but those caches will never hold any objcg pointer
array. As a result, deeply nested kfree() call and the unfreeable slab
problems are now gone.
This patch (of 4):
Since the merging of the new slab memory controller in v5.9, the page
structure may store a pointer to obj_cgroup pointer array for slab pages.
Currently, only the __GFP_ACCOUNT bit is masked off. However, the array
is not readily reclaimable and doesn't need to come from the DMA buffer.
So those GFP bits should be masked off as well.
Do the flag bit clearing at memcg_alloc_page_obj_cgroups() to make sure
that it is consistently applied no matter where it is called.

[ Upstream commit 9f38f03ae8d5f57371b71aa6b4275765b65454fd ]
Patch series "Use obj_cgroup APIs to charge kmem pages", v5.
Since Roman's series "The new cgroup slab memory controller" applied.
All slab objects are charged with the new APIs of obj_cgroup. The new
APIs introduce a struct obj_cgroup to charge slab objects. It prevents
long-living objects from pinning the original memory cgroup in the
memory. But there are still some corner objects (e.g. allocations
larger than order-1 page on SLUB) which are not charged with the new
APIs. Those objects (include the pages which are allocated from buddy
allocator directly) are charged as kmem pages which still hold a
reference to the memory cgroup.
E.g. We know that the kernel stack is charged as kmem pages because the
size of the kernel stack can be greater than 2 pages (e.g. 16KB on
x86_64 or arm64). If we create a thread (suppose the thread stack is
charged to memory cgroup A) and then move it from memory cgroup A to
memory cgroup B. Because the kernel stack of the thread hold a
reference to the memory cgroup A. The thread can pin the memory cgroup
A in the memory even if we remove the cgroup A. If we want to see this
scenario by using the following script. We can see that the system has
added 500 dying cgroups (This is not a real world issue, just a script
to show that the large kmallocs are charged as kmem pages which can pin
the memory cgroup in the memory).
#!/bin/bash
cat /proc/cgroups | grep memory
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
echo 1 > memory.move_charge_at_immigrate
for i in range{1..500}
do
mkdir kmem_test
echo $$ > kmem_test/cgroup.procs
sleep 3600 &
echo $$ > cgroup.procs
echo `cat kmem_test/cgroup.procs` > cgroup.procs
rmdir kmem_test
done
cat /proc/cgroups | grep memory
This patchset aims to make those kmem pages to drop the reference to
memory cgroup by using the APIs of obj_cgroup. Finally, we can see that
the number of the dying cgroups will not increase if we run the above test
script.
This patch (of 7):
The rcu_read_lock/unlock only can guarantee that the memcg will not be
freed, but it cannot guarantee the success of css_get (which is in the
refill_stock when cached memcg changed) to memcg.
rcu_read_lock()
memcg = obj_cgroup_memcg(old)
__memcg_kmem_uncharge(memcg)
refill_stock(memcg)
if (stock->cached != memcg)
// css_get can change the ref counter from 0 back to 1.
css_get(&memcg->css)
rcu_read_unlock()
This fix is very like the commit:
eefbfa7fd678 ("mm: memcg/slab: fix use after free in obj_cgroup_charge")
Fix this by holding a reference to the memcg which is passed to the
__memcg_kmem_uncharge() before calling __memcg_kmem_uncharge().

commit cae3af62b33aa931427a0f211e04347b22180b36 upstream.
When pages are swapped in, the VM may retain the swap copy to avoid
repeated writes in the future. It's also retained if shared pages are
faulted back in some processes, but not in others. During that time we
have an in-memory copy of the page, as well as an on-swap copy. Cgroup1
and cgroup2 handle these overlapping lifetimes slightly differently due to
the nature of how they account memory and swap:
Cgroup1 has a unified memory+swap counter that tracks a data page
regardless whether it's in-core or swapped out. On swapin, we transfer
the charge from the swap entry to the newly allocated swapcache page, even
though the swap entry might stick around for a while. That's why we have
a mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap() call inside mem_cgroup_charge().
Cgroup2 tracks memory and swap as separate, independent resources and thus
has split memory and swap counters. On swapin, we charge the newly
allocated swapcache page as memory, while the swap slot in turn must
remain charged to the swap counter as long as its allocated too.
The cgroup2 logic was broken by commit 2d1c498072 ("mm: memcontrol: make
swap tracking an integral part of memory control"), because it
accidentally removed the do_memsw_account() check in the branch inside
mem_cgroup_uncharge() that was supposed to tell the difference between the
charge transfer in cgroup1 and the separate counters in cgroup2.
As a result, cgroup2 currently undercounts retained swap to varying
degrees: swap slots are cached up to 50% of the configured limit or total
available swap space; partially faulted back shared pages are only limited
by physical capacity. This in turn allows cgroups to significantly
overconsume their alloted swap space.
Add the do_memsw_account() check back to fix this problem.

[ Upstream commit b0ba3bff3e7bb6b58bb248bdd2f3d8ad52fd10c3 ]
Patch series "Convert all THP vmstat counters to pages", v6.
This patch series is aimed to convert all THP vmstat counters to pages.
The unit of some vmstat counters are pages, some are bytes, some are
HPAGE_PMD_NR, and some are KiB. When we want to expose these vmstat
counters to the userspace, we have to know the unit of the vmstat counters
is which one. When the unit is bytes or kB, both clearly distinguishable
by the B/KB suffix. But for the THP vmstat counters, we may make mistakes.
For example, the below is some bug fix for the THP vmstat counters:
- 7de2e9f195 ("mm: memcontrol: correct the NR_ANON_THPS counter of hierarchical memcg")
- The first commit in this series ("fix NR_ANON_THPS accounting in charge moving")
This patch series can make the code clear. And make all the unit of the THP
vmstat counters in pages. Finally, the unit of the vmstat counters are
pages, kB and bytes. The B/KB suffix can tell us that the unit is bytes
or kB. The rest which is without suffix are pages.
In this series, I changed the following vmstat counters unit from HPAGE_PMD_NR
to pages. However, there is no change to the print format of output to user
space.
- NR_ANON_THPS
- NR_FILE_THPS
- NR_SHMEM_THPS
- NR_SHMEM_PMDMAPPED
- NR_FILE_PMDMAPPED
Doing this also can make the statistics more accuracy for the THP vmstat
counters. This series is consistent with 8f182270df ("mm/swap.c: flush lru
pvecs on compound page arrival").
Because we use struct per_cpu_nodestat to cache the vmstat counters, which
leads to inaccurate statistics especially THP vmstat counters. In the systems
with hundreds of processors it can be GBs of memory. For example, for a 96
CPUs system, the threshold is the maximum number of 125. And the per cpu
counters can cache 23.4375 GB in total.
The THP page is already a form of batched addition (it will add 512 worth of
memory in one go) so skipping the batching seems like sensible. Although every
THP stats update overflows the per-cpu counter, resorting to atomic global
updates. But it can make the statistics more accuracy for the THP vmstat
counters. From this point of view, I think that do this converting is
reasonable.
Thanks Hugh for mentioning this. This was inspired by Johannes and Roman.
Thanks to them.
This patch (of 7):
The unit of NR_ANON_THPS is HPAGE_PMD_NR already. So it should inc/dec by
one rather than nr_pages.

commit e82553c10b0899994153f9bf0af333c0a1550fd7 upstream.
This reverts commit 536d3bf261, as it can
cause writers to memory.high to get stuck in the kernel forever,
performing page reclaim and consuming excessive amounts of CPU cycles.
Before the patch, a write to memory.high would first put the new limit
in place for the workload, and then reclaim the requested delta. After
the patch, the kernel tries to reclaim the delta before putting the new
limit into place, in order to not overwhelm the workload with a sudden,
large excess over the limit. However, if reclaim is actively racing
with new allocations from the uncurbed workload, it can keep the write()
working inside the kernel indefinitely.
This is causing problems in Facebook production. A privileged
system-level daemon that adjusts memory.high for various workloads
running on a host can get unexpectedly stuck in the kernel and
essentially turn into a sort of involuntary kswapd for one of the
workloads. We've observed that daemon busy-spin in a write() for
minutes at a time, neglecting its other duties on the system, and
expending privileged system resources on behalf of a workload.
To remedy this, we have first considered changing the reclaim logic to
break out after a couple of loops - whether the workload has converged
to the new limit or not - and bound the write() call this way. However,
the root cause that inspired the sequence change in the first place has
been fixed through other means, and so a revert back to the proven
limit-setting sequence, also used by memory.max, is preferable.
The sequence was changed to avoid extreme latencies in the workload when
the limit was lowered: the sudden, large excess created by the limit
lowering would erroneously trigger the penalty sleeping code that is
meant to throttle excessive growth from below. Allocating threads could
end up sleeping long after the write() had already reclaimed the delta
for which they were being punished.
However, erroneous throttling also caused problems in other scenarios at
around the same time. This resulted in commit b3ff92916a ("mm, memcg:
reclaim more aggressively before high allocator throttling"), included
in the same release as the offending commit. When allocating threads
now encounter large excess caused by a racing write() to memory.high,
instead of entering punitive sleeps, they will simply be tasked with
helping reclaim down the excess, and will be held no longer than it
takes to accomplish that. This is in line with regular limit
enforcement - i.e. if the workload allocates up against or over an
otherwise unchanged limit from below.
With the patch breaking userspace, and the root cause addressed by other
means already, revert it again.

The problem occurs because in the non-hierarchical mode non-root page
counters are not linked to root page counters, so the charge is not
propagated to the root memory cgroup.
After the removal of the original memory cgroup and reparenting of the
object cgroup, the root cgroup might be uncharged by draining a objcg
stock, for example. It leads to an eventual underflow of the charge and
triggers a warning.
Fix it by linking all page counters to corresponding root page counters
in the non-hierarchical mode.
Please note, that in the non-hierarchical mode all objcgs are always
reparented to the root memory cgroup, even if the hierarchy has more
than 1 level. This patch doesn't change it.
The patch also doesn't affect how the hierarchical mode is working,
which is the only sane and truly supported mode now.
Thanks to Richard for reporting, debugging and providing an alternative
version of the fix!

If a memcg to charge can be determined (using remote charging API), there
are no reasons to exclude allocations made from an interrupt context from
the accounting.
Such allocations will pass even if the resulting memcg size will exceed
the hard limit, but it will affect the application of the memory pressure
and an inability to put the workload under the limit will eventually
trigger the OOM.
To use active_memcg() helper, memcg_kmem_bypass() is moved back to
memcontrol.c.

Remote memcg charging API uses current->active_memcg to store the
currently active memory cgroup, which overwrites the memory cgroup of the
current process. It works well for normal contexts, but doesn't work for
interrupt contexts: indeed, if an interrupt occurs during the execution of
a section with an active memcg set, all allocations inside the interrupt
will be charged to the active memcg set (given that we'll enable
accounting for allocations from an interrupt context). But because the
interrupt might have no relation to the active memcg set outside, it's
obviously wrong from the accounting prospective.
To resolve this problem, let's add a global percpu int_active_memcg
variable, which will be used to store an active memory cgroup which will
be used from interrupt contexts. set_active_memcg() will transparently
use current->active_memcg or int_active_memcg depending on the context.
To make the read part simple and transparent for the caller, let's
introduce two new functions:
- struct mem_cgroup *active_memcg(void),
- struct mem_cgroup *get_active_memcg(void).
They are returning the active memcg if it's set, hiding all implementation
details: where to get it depending on the current context.

Patch series "mm: kmem: kernel memory accounting in an interrupt context".
This patchset implements memcg-based memory accounting of allocations made
from an interrupt context.
Historically, such allocations were passed unaccounted mostly because
charging the memory cgroup of the current process wasn't an option. Also
performance reasons were likely a reason too.
The remote charging API allows to temporarily overwrite the currently
active memory cgroup, so that all memory allocations are accounted towards
some specified memory cgroup instead of the memory cgroup of the current
process.
This patchset extends the remote charging API so that it can be used from
an interrupt context. Then it removes the fence that prevented the
accounting of allocations made from an interrupt context. It also
contains a couple of optimizations/code refactorings.
This patchset doesn't directly enable accounting for any specific
allocations, but prepares the code base for it. The bpf memory accounting
will likely be the first user of it: a typical example is a bpf program
parsing an incoming network packet, which allocates an entry in hashmap
map to store some information.
This patch (of 4):
Currently memcg_kmem_bypass() is called before obtaining the current
memory/obj cgroup using get_mem/obj_cgroup_from_current(). Moving
memcg_kmem_bypass() into get_mem/obj_cgroup_from_current() reduces the
number of call sites and allows further code simplifications.

Currently the remote memcg charging API consists of two functions:
memalloc_use_memcg() and memalloc_unuse_memcg(), which set and clear the
memcg value, which overwrites the memcg of the current task.
memalloc_use_memcg(target_memcg);
<...>
memalloc_unuse_memcg();
It works perfectly for allocations performed from a normal context,
however an attempt to call it from an interrupt context or just nest two
remote charging blocks will lead to an incorrect accounting. On exit from
the inner block the active memcg will be cleared instead of being
restored.
memalloc_use_memcg(target_memcg);
memalloc_use_memcg(target_memcg_2);
<...>
memalloc_unuse_memcg();
Error: allocation here are charged to the memcg of the current
process instead of target_memcg.
memalloc_unuse_memcg();
This patch extends the remote charging API by switching to a single
function: struct mem_cgroup *set_active_memcg(struct mem_cgroup *memcg),
which sets the new value and returns the old one. So a remote charging
block will look like:
old_memcg = set_active_memcg(target_memcg);
<...>
set_active_memcg(old_memcg);
This patch is heavily based on the patch by Johannes Weiner, which can be

The code in mc_handle_swap_pte() checks for non_swap_entry() and returns
NULL before checking is_device_private_entry() so device private pages are
never handled. Fix this by checking for non_swap_entry() after handling
device private swap PTEs.
I assume the memory cgroup accounting would be off somehow when moving
a process to another memory cgroup. Currently, the device private page
is charged like a normal anonymous page when allocated and is uncharged
when the page is freed so I think that path is OK.

In the cgroup v1, we have a numa_stat interface. This is useful for
providing visibility into the numa locality information within an memcg
since the pages are allowed to be allocated from any physical node. One
of the use cases is evaluating application performance by combining this
information with the application's CPU allocation. But the cgroup v2 does
not. So this patch adds the missing information.

The swap page counter is v2 only while memsw is v1 only. As v1 and v2
controllers cannot be active at the same time, there is no point to keep
both swap and memsw page counters in mem_cgroup. The previous patch has
made sure that memsw page counter is updated and accessed only when in v1
code paths. So it is now safe to alias the v1 memsw page counter to v2
swap page counter. This saves 14 long's in the size of mem_cgroup. This
is a saving of 112 bytes for 64-bit archs.
While at it, also document which page counters are used in v1 and/or v2.

mem_cgroup_from_obj() checks the lowest bit of the page->mem_cgroup
pointer to determine if the page has an attached obj_cgroup vector instead
of a regular memcg pointer. If it's not set, it simple returns the
page->mem_cgroup value as a struct mem_cgroup pointer.
The commit 10befea91b ("mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches
for all allocations") changed the moment when this bit is set: if
previously it was set on the allocation of the slab page, now it can be
set well after, when the first accounted object is allocated on this page.
It opened a race: if page->mem_cgroup is set concurrently after the first
page_has_obj_cgroups(page) check, a pointer to the obj_cgroups array can
be returned as a memory cgroup pointer.
A simple check for page->mem_cgroup pointer for NULL before the
page_has_obj_cgroups() check fixes the race. Indeed, if the pointer is
not NULL, it's either a simple mem_cgroup pointer or a pointer to
obj_cgroup vector. The pointer can be asynchronously changed from NULL to
(obj_cgroup_vec | 0x1UL), but can't be changed from a valid memcg pointer
to objcg vector or back.
If the object passed to mem_cgroup_from_obj() is a slab object and
page->mem_cgroup is NULL, it means that the object is not accounted, so
the function must return NULL.
I've discovered the race looking at the code, so far I haven't seen it in
the wild.

Commit 1a3e1f4096 ("mm: memcontrol: decouple reference counting from
page accounting") reworked the memcg lifetime to be bound the the struct
page rather than charges. It also removed the css_put_many from
uncharge_batch and that is causing the above splat.
uncharge_batch() is supposed to uncharge accumulated charges for all
pages freed from the same memcg. The queuing is done by uncharge_page
which however drops the memcg reference after it adds charges to the
batch. If the current page happens to be the last one holding the
reference for its memcg then the memcg is OK to go and the next page to
be freed will trigger batched uncharge which needs to access the memcg
which is gone already.
Fix the issue by taking a reference for the memcg in the current batch.

Commit 3e38e0aaca ("mm: memcg: charge memcg percpu memory to the
parent cgroup") adds memory tracking to the memcg kernel structures
themselves to make cgroups liable for the memory they are consuming
through the allocation of child groups (which can be significant).
This code is a bit awkward as it's spread out through several functions:
The outermost function does memalloc_use_memcg(parent) to set up
current->active_memcg, which designates which cgroup to charge, and the
inner functions pass GFP_ACCOUNT to request charging for specific
allocations. To make sure this dependency is satisfied at all times -
to make sure we don't randomly charge whoever is calling the functions -
the inner functions warn on !current->active_memcg.
However, this triggers a false warning when the root memcg itself is
allocated. No parent exists in this case, and so current->active_memcg
is rightfully NULL. It's a false positive, not indicative of a bug.
Delete the warnings for now, we can revisit this later.

Memory cgroups are using large chunks of percpu memory to store vmstat
data. Yet this memory is not accounted at all, so in the case when there
are many (dying) cgroups, it's not exactly clear where all the memory is.
Because the size of memory cgroup internal structures can dramatically
exceed the size of object or page which is pinning it in the memory, it's
not a good idea to simply ignore it. It actually breaks the isolation
between cgroups.
Let's account the consumed percpu memory to the parent cgroup.

Percpu memory can represent a noticeable chunk of the total memory
consumption, especially on big machines with many CPUs. Let's track
percpu memory usage for each memcg and display it in memory.stat.
A percpu allocation is usually scattered over multiple pages (and nodes),
and can be significantly smaller than a page. So let's add a byte-sized
counter on the memcg level: MEMCG_PERCPU_B. Byte-sized vmstat infra
created for slabs can be perfectly reused for percpu case.

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.

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.

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 9783aa9917 ("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 66e1707bc3 ("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 0a0337e0d1 ("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

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.

Currently the kernel stack is being accounted per-zone. There is no need
to do that. In addition due to being per-zone, memcg has to keep a
separate MEMCG_KERNEL_STACK_KB. Make the stat per-node and deprecate
MEMCG_KERNEL_STACK_KB as memcg_stat_item is an extension of
node_stat_item. In addition localize the kernel stack stats updates to
account_kernel_stack().

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.
