      memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim in global background reclaim · 0ae5e89c
      Ying Han 提交于
      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.

      cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacks · f780bdb7
      Ben Blum 提交于
      Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts
      
      Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks
      for cgroups's subsystem interface.  Unlike can_attach and attach, these
      are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when
      attaching an entire threadgroup.
      
      Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by
      this.  All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is
      cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped
      (though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to
      attach_task and attach.
      
      This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.
