      memcg: add the pagefault count into memcg stats · 456f998e
      Ying Han 提交于
      Two new stats in per-memcg memory.stat which tracks the number of page
      faults and number of major page faults.
      
        "pgfault"
        "pgmajfault"
      
      They are different from "pgpgin"/"pgpgout" stat which count number of
      pages charged/discharged to the cgroup and have no meaning of reading/
      writing page to disk.
      
      It is valuable to track the two stats for both measuring application's
      performance as well as the efficiency of the kernel page reclaim path.
      Counting pagefaults per process is useful, but we also need the aggregated
      value since processes are monitored and controlled in cgroup basis in
      memcg.
      
      Functional test: check the total number of pgfault/pgmajfault of all
      memcgs and compare with global vmstat value:
      
        $ cat /proc/vmstat | grep fault
        pgfault 1070751
        pgmajfault 553
      
        $ cat /dev/cgroup/memory.stat | grep fault
        pgfault 1071138
        pgmajfault 553
        total_pgfault 1071142
        total_pgmajfault 553
      
        $ cat /dev/cgroup/A/memory.stat | grep fault
        pgfault 199
        pgmajfault 0
        total_pgfault 199
        total_pgmajfault 0
      
      Performance test: run page fault test(pft) wit 16 thread on faulting in
      15G anon pages in 16G container.  There is no regression noticed on the
      "flt/cpu/s"
      
      Sample output from pft:
      
        TAG pft:anon-sys-default:
          Gb  Thr CLine   User     System     Wall    flt/cpu/s fault/wsec

      memcg: add memory.numastat api for numa statistics · 406eb0c9
      Ying Han 提交于
      The new API exports numa_maps per-memcg basis.  This is a piece of useful
      information where it exports per-memcg page distribution across real numa
      nodes.
      
      One of the usecases is evaluating application performance by combining
      this information w/ the cpu allocation to the application.
      
      The output of the memory.numastat tries to follow w/ simiar format of
      numa_maps like:
      
        total=<total pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
        file=<total file pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
        anon=<total anon pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
        unevictable=<total anon pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
      
      And we have per-node:
      
        total = file + anon + unevictable
      
        $ cat /dev/cgroup/memory/memory.numa_stat
        total=250020 N0=87620 N1=52367 N2=45298 N3=64735
        file=225232 N0=83402 N1=46160 N2=40522 N3=55148
        anon=21053 N0=3424 N1=6207 N2=4776 N3=6646

      Ying Han 提交于
      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.

      memcg: remove unused retry signal from reclaim · 4fd14ebf
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      If the memcg reclaim code detects the target memcg below its limit it
      exits and returns a guaranteed non-zero value so that the charge is
      retried.
      
      Nowadays, the charge side checks the memcg limit itself and does not rely
      on this non-zero return value trick.
      
      This patch removes it.  The reclaim code will now always return the true
      number of pages it reclaimed on its own.

      memcg: reclaim memory from nodes in round-robin order · 889976db
      Ying Han 提交于
      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.

      memcg: remove pointless next_mz nullification in mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim() · 39cc98f1
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      next_mz is assigned to NULL if __mem_cgroup_largest_soft_limit_node
      selects the same mz.  This doesn't make much sense as we assign to the
      variable right in the next loop.
      
      Compiler will probably optimize this out but it is little bit confusing
      for the code reading.

      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.
