      mm: memcontrol: remove obsolete kmemcg pinning tricks · 64f21993
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      As charges now pin the css explicitely, there is no more need for kmemcg
      to acquire a proxy reference for outstanding pages during offlining, or
      maintain state to identify such "dead" groups.
      
      This was the last user of the uncharge functions' return values, so remove
      them as well.

      mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters · 3e32cb2e
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      Memory is internally accounted in bytes, using spinlock-protected 64-bit
      counters, even though the smallest accounting delta is a page.  The
      counter interface is also convoluted and does too many things.
      
      Introduce a new lockless word-sized page counter API, then change all
      memory accounting over to it.  The translation from and to bytes then only
      happens when interfacing with userspace.
      
      The removed locking overhead is noticable when scaling beyond the per-cpu
      charge caches - on a 4-socket machine with 144-threads, the following test
      shows the performance differences of 288 memcgs concurrently running a
      page fault benchmark:

      On top of improved scalability, this also gets rid of the icky long long
      types in the very heart of memcg, which is great for 32 bit and also makes
      the code a lot more readable.
      
      Notable differences between the old and new API:
      
      - res_counter_charge() and res_counter_charge_nofail() become
        page_counter_try_charge() and page_counter_charge() resp. to match
        the more common kernel naming scheme of try_do()/do()
      
      - res_counter_uncharge_until() is only ever used to cancel a local
        counter and never to uncharge bigger segments of a hierarchy, so
        it's replaced by the simpler page_counter_cancel()
      
      - res_counter_set_limit() is replaced by page_counter_limit(), which
        expects its callers to serialize against themselves
      
      - res_counter_memparse_write_strategy() is replaced by
        page_counter_limit(), which rounds down to the nearest page size -
        rather than up.  This is more reasonable for explicitely requested
        hard upper limits.
      
      - to keep charging light-weight, page_counter_try_charge() charges
        speculatively, only to roll back if the result exceeds the limit.
        Because of this, a failing bigger charge can temporarily lock out
        smaller charges that would otherwise succeed.  The error is bounded
        to the difference between the smallest and the biggest possible
        charge size, so for memcg, this means that a failing THP charge can
        send base page charges into reclaim upto 2MB (4MB) before the limit
        would have been reached.  This should be acceptable.
