      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
       "Lots of activity again this round for I/O performance optimizations
        (per-cpu IDA pre-allocation for vhost + iscsi/target), and the
        addition of new fabric independent features to target-core
        (COMPARE_AND_WRITE + EXTENDED_COPY).
      
        The main highlights include:
      
         - Support for iscsi-target login multiplexing across individual
           network portals
         - Generic Per-cpu IDA logic (kent + akpm + clameter)
         - Conversion of vhost to use per-cpu IDA pre-allocation for
           descriptors, SGLs and userspace page pointer list
         - Conversion of iscsi-target + iser-target to use per-cpu IDA
           pre-allocation for descriptors
         - Add support for generic COMPARE_AND_WRITE (AtomicTestandSet)
           emulation for virtual backend drivers
         - Add support for generic EXTENDED_COPY (CopyOffload) emulation for
           virtual backend drivers.
         - Add support for fast memory registration mode to iser-target (Vu)
      
        The patches to add COMPARE_AND_WRITE and EXTENDED_COPY support are of
        particular significance, which make us the first and only open source
        target to support the full set of VAAI primitives.
      
        Currently Linux clients are lacking upstream support to actually
        utilize these primitives.  However, with server side support now in
        place for folks like MKP + ZAB working on the client, this logic once
        reserved for the highest end of storage arrays, can now be run in VMs
        on their laptops"

      mm, thp: count thp_fault_fallback anytime thp fault fails · 17766dde
      David Rientjes 提交于
      Currently, thp_fault_fallback in vmstat only gets incremented if a
      hugepage allocation fails.  If current's memcg hits its limit or the page
      fault handler returns an error, it is incorrectly accounted as a
      successful thp_fault_alloc.
      
      Count thp_fault_fallback anytime the page fault handler falls back to
      using regular pages and only count thp_fault_alloc when a hugepage has
      actually been faulted.

      make lru_add_drain_all() only selectively interrupt the cpus that have
      per-cpu free pages that can be drained.
      
      This is important in nohz mode where calling mlockall(), for example,
      otherwise will interrupt every core unnecessarily.
      
      This is important on workloads where nohz cores are handling 10 Gb traffic
      in userspace.  Those CPUs do not enter the kernel and place pages into LRU
      pagevecs and they really, really don't want to be interrupted, or they
      drop packets on the floor.

      memcg: add per cgroup writeback pages accounting · 3ea67d06
      Sha Zhengju 提交于
      Add memcg routines to count writeback pages, later dirty pages will also
      be accounted.
      
      After Kame's commit 89c06bd5 ("memcg: use new logic for page stat
      accounting"), we can use 'struct page' flag to test page state instead
      of per page_cgroup flag.  But memcg has a feature to move a page from a
      cgroup to another one and may have race between "move" and "page stat
      accounting".  So in order to avoid the race we have designed a new lock:
      
               mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
               modify page information        -->(a)
               mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()  -->(b)
               mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat()
      
      It requires both (a) and (b)(writeback pages accounting) to be pretected
      in mem_cgroup_{begin/end}_update_page_stat().  It's full no-op for
      !CONFIG_MEMCG, almost no-op if memcg is disabled (but compiled in), rcu
      read lock in the most cases (no task is moving), and spin_lock_irqsave
      on top in the slow path.
      
      There're two writeback interfaces to modify: test_{clear/set}_page_writeback().
      And the lock order is:
      	--> memcg->move_lock
      	  --> mapping->tree_lock

      memcg: correct RESOURCE_MAX to ULLONG_MAX · 34ff8dc0
      Sha Zhengju 提交于
      Current RESOURCE_MAX is ULONG_MAX, but the value we used to set resource
      limit is unsigned long long, so we can set bigger value than that which is
      strange.  The XXX_MAX should be reasonable max value, bigger than that
      should be overflow.
      
      Notice that this change will affect user output of default *.limit_in_bytes:
      before change:
      
        $ cat /cgroup/memory/memory.limit_in_bytes

        18446744073709551615
      
      But it doesn't alter the API in term of input - we can still use "echo -1
      > *.limit_in_bytes" to reset the numbers to "unlimited".

      mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full callstack on OOM · 3812c8c8
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      The memcg OOM handling is incredibly fragile and can deadlock.  When a
      task fails to charge memory, it invokes the OOM killer and loops right
      there in the charge code until it succeeds.  Comparably, any other task
      that enters the charge path at this point will go to a waitqueue right
      then and there and sleep until the OOM situation is resolved.  The problem
      is that these tasks may hold filesystem locks and the mmap_sem; locks that
      the selected OOM victim may need to exit.
      
      For example, in one reported case, the task invoking the OOM killer was
      about to charge a page cache page during a write(), which holds the
      i_mutex.  The OOM killer selected a task that was just entering truncate()
      and trying to acquire the i_mutex:
      
      OOM invoking task:
        mem_cgroup_handle_oom+0x241/0x3b0
        mem_cgroup_cache_charge+0xbe/0xe0
        add_to_page_cache_locked+0x4c/0x140
        add_to_page_cache_lru+0x22/0x50
        grab_cache_page_write_begin+0x8b/0xe0
        ext3_write_begin+0x88/0x270
        generic_file_buffered_write+0x116/0x290
        __generic_file_aio_write+0x27c/0x480
        generic_file_aio_write+0x76/0xf0           # takes ->i_mutex
        do_sync_write+0xea/0x130
        vfs_write+0xf3/0x1f0
        sys_write+0x51/0x90
        system_call_fastpath+0x18/0x1d
      
      OOM kill victim:
        do_truncate+0x58/0xa0              # takes i_mutex
        do_last+0x250/0xa30
        path_openat+0xd7/0x440
        do_filp_open+0x49/0xa0
        do_sys_open+0x106/0x240
        sys_open+0x20/0x30
        system_call_fastpath+0x18/0x1d
      
      The OOM handling task will retry the charge indefinitely while the OOM
      killed task is not releasing any resources.
      
      A similar scenario can happen when the kernel OOM killer for a memcg is
      disabled and a userspace task is in charge of resolving OOM situations.
      In this case, ALL tasks that enter the OOM path will be made to sleep on
      the OOM waitqueue and wait for userspace to free resources or increase
      the group's limit.  But a userspace OOM handler is prone to deadlock
      itself on the locks held by the waiting tasks.  For example one of the
      sleeping tasks may be stuck in a brk() call with the mmap_sem held for
      writing but the userspace handler, in order to pick an optimal victim,
      may need to read files from /proc/<pid>, which tries to acquire the same
      mmap_sem for reading and deadlocks.
      
      This patch changes the way tasks behave after detecting a memcg OOM and
      makes sure nobody loops or sleeps with locks held:
      
      1. When OOMing in a user fault, invoke the OOM killer and restart the
         fault instead of looping on the charge attempt.  This way, the OOM
         victim can not get stuck on locks the looping task may hold.
      
      2. When OOMing in a user fault but somebody else is handling it
         (either the kernel OOM killer or a userspace handler), don't go to
         sleep in the charge context.  Instead, remember the OOMing memcg in
         the task struct and then fully unwind the page fault stack with
         -ENOMEM.  pagefault_out_of_memory() will then call back into the
         memcg code to check if the -ENOMEM came from the memcg, and then
         either put the task to sleep on the memcg's OOM waitqueue or just
         restart the fault.  The OOM victim can no longer get stuck on any
         lock a sleeping task may hold.

      mm: memcg: rework and document OOM waiting and wakeup · fb2a6fc5
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      The memcg OOM handler open-codes a sleeping lock for OOM serialization
      (trylock, wait, repeat) because the required locking is so specific to
      memcg hierarchies.  However, it would be nice if this construct would be
      clearly recognizable and not be as obfuscated as it is right now.  Clean
      up as follows:
      
      1. Remove the return value of mem_cgroup_oom_unlock()
      
      2. Rename mem_cgroup_oom_lock() to mem_cgroup_oom_trylock().
      
      3. Pull the prepare_to_wait() out of the memcg_oom_lock scope.  This
         makes it more obvious that the task has to be on the waitqueue
         before attempting to OOM-trylock the hierarchy, to not miss any
         wakeups before going to sleep.  It just didn't matter until now
         because it was all lumped together into the global memcg_oom_lock
         spinlock section.
      
      4. Pull the mem_cgroup_oom_notify() out of the memcg_oom_lock scope.
         It is proctected by the hierarchical OOM-lock.
      
      5. The memcg_oom_lock spinlock is only required to propagate the OOM
         lock in any given hierarchy atomically.  Restrict its scope to
         mem_cgroup_oom_(trylock|unlock).
      
      6. Do not wake up the waitqueue unconditionally at the end of the
         function.  Only the lockholder has to wake up the next in line
         after releasing the lock.
      
         Note that the lockholder kicks off the OOM-killer, which in turn
         leads to wakeups from the uncharges of the exiting task.  But a
         contender is not guaranteed to see them if it enters the OOM path
         after the OOM kills but before the lockholder releases the lock.
         Thus there has to be an explicit wakeup after releasing the lock.
      
      7. Put the OOM task on the waitqueue before marking the hierarchy as
         under OOM as that is the point where we start to receive wakeups.
         No point in listening before being on the waitqueue.
      
      8. Likewise, unmark the hierarchy before finishing the sleep, for
         symmetry.

      x86: finish user fault error path with fatal signal · 3a13c4d7
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      The x86 fault handler bails in the middle of error handling when the
      task has a fatal signal pending.  For a subsequent patch this is a
      problem in OOM situations because it relies on pagefault_out_of_memory()
      being called even when the task has been killed, to perform proper
      per-task OOM state unwinding.
      
      Shortcutting the fault like this is a rather minor optimization that
      saves a few instructions in rare cases.  Just remove it for
      user-triggered faults.
      
      Use the opportunity to split the fault retry handling from actual fault
      errors and add locking documentation that reads suprisingly similar to
      ARM's.

      arch: mm: remove obsolete init OOM protection · 94bce453
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      The memcg code can trap tasks in the context of the failing allocation
      until an OOM situation is resolved.  They can hold all kinds of locks
      (fs, mm) at this point, which makes it prone to deadlocking.
      
      This series converts memcg OOM handling into a two step process that is
      started in the charge context, but any waiting is done after the fault
      stack is fully unwound.
      
      Patches 1-4 prepare architecture handlers to support the new memcg
      requirements, but in doing so they also remove old cruft and unify
      out-of-memory behavior across architectures.
      
      Patch 5 disables the memcg OOM handling for syscalls, readahead, kernel
      faults, because they can gracefully unwind the stack with -ENOMEM.  OOM
      handling is restricted to user triggered faults that have no other
      option.
      
      Patch 6 reworks memcg's hierarchical OOM locking to make it a little
      more obvious wth is going on in there: reduce locked regions, rename
      locking functions, reorder and document.
      
      Patch 7 implements the two-part OOM handling such that tasks are never
      trapped with the full charge stack in an OOM situation.
      
      This patch:
      
      Back before smart OOM killing, when faulting tasks were killed directly on
      allocation failures, the arch-specific fault handlers needed special
      protection for the init process.
      
      Now that all fault handlers call into the generic OOM killer (see commit
      609838cf: "mm: invoke oom-killer from remaining unconverted page
      fault handlers"), which already provides init protection, the
      arch-specific leftovers can be removed.

      memcg, vmscan: do not fall into reclaim-all pass too quickly · e975de99
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      shrink_zone starts with soft reclaim pass first and then falls back to
      regular reclaim if nothing has been scanned.  This behavior is natural
      but there is a catch.  Memcg iterators, when used with the reclaim
      cookie, are designed to help to prevent from over reclaim by
      interleaving reclaimers (per node-zone-priority) so the tree walk might
      miss many (even all) nodes in the hierarchy e.g.  when there are direct
      reclaimers racing with each other or with kswapd in the global case or
      multiple allocators reaching the limit for the target reclaim case.  To
      make it even more complicated, targeted reclaim doesn't do the whole
      tree walk because it stops reclaiming once it reclaims sufficient pages.
      As a result groups over the limit might be missed, thus nothing is
      scanned, and reclaim would fall back to the reclaim all mode.
      
      This patch checks for the incomplete tree walk in shrink_zone.  If no
      group has been visited and the hierarchy is soft reclaimable then we
      must have missed some groups, in which case the __shrink_zone is called
      again.  This doesn't guarantee there will be some progress of course
      because the current reclaimer might be still racing with others but it
      would at least give a chance to start the walk without a big risk of
      reclaim latencies.

      memcg: track all children over limit in the root · 1be171d6
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Children in soft limit excess are currently tracked up the hierarchy in
      memcg->children_in_excess.  Nevertheless there still might exist tons of
      groups that are not in hierarchy relation to the root cgroup (e.g.  all
      first level groups if root_mem_cgroup->use_hierarchy == false).
      
      As the whole tree walk has to be done when the iteration starts at
      root_mem_cgroup the iterator should be able to skip the walk if there is
      no child above the limit without iterating them.  This can be done
      easily if the root tracks all children rather than only hierarchical
      children.  This is done by this patch which updates root_mem_cgroup
      children_in_excess if root_mem_cgroup->use_hierarchy == false so the
      root knows about all children in excess.
      
      Please note that this is not an issue for inner memcgs which have
      use_hierarchy == false because then only the single group is visited so
      no special optimization is necessary.

      skip nodes that are not soft reclaimable quite efficiently but
      mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim can be more clever and do not start the
      soft reclaim pass at all if it knows that nothing would be scanned
      anyway.
      
      In order to do that, simply reuse mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible for
      the target group of the reclaim and allow the pass only if the whole
      subtree wouldn't be skipped.

      memcg: track children in soft limit excess to improve soft limit · 7d910c05
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Soft limit reclaim has to check the whole reclaim hierarchy while doing
      the first pass of the reclaim.  This leads to a higher system time which
      can be visible especially when there are many groups in the hierarchy.
      
      This patch adds a per-memcg counter of children in excess.  It also
      restores MEM_CGROUP_TARGET_SOFTLIMIT into mem_cgroup_event_ratelimit for a
      proper batching.
      
      If a group crosses soft limit for the first time it increases parent's
      children_in_excess up the hierarchy.  The similarly if a group gets below
      the limit it will decrease the counter.  The transition phase is recorded
      in soft_contributed flag.
      
      mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible then uses this information to better
      decide whether to skip the node or the whole subtree.  The rule is simple.
       Skip the node with a children in excess or skip the whole subtree
      otherwise.
      
      This has been tested by a stream IO (dd if=/dev/zero of=file with
      4*MemTotal size) which is quite sensitive to overhead during reclaim.  The
      load is running in a group with soft limit set to 0 and without any limit.
       Apart from that there was a hierarchy with ~500, 2k and 8k groups (two
      groups on each level) without any pages in them.  base denotes to the
      kernel on which the whole series is based on, rework is the kernel before
      this patch and reworkoptim is with this patch applied:

      System time is increased by 30-40% but it is reduced a lot comparing to
      kernel without this patch.  The higher time can be explained by the fact
      that the original soft reclaim scanned at priority 0 so it was much more
      effective for this workload (which is basically touch once and writeback).
       The Elapsed time looks better though (~20%).

      Both System and Elapsed are in stdev with the base kernel for all
      configurations except for 8k where both System and Elapsed are up by 35%.
      I do not have a good explanation for this because there is no soft reclaim
      pass going on as no group is above the limit which is checked in
      mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim.
      
      Then I have tested kernel build with the same configuration to see the
      behavior with a more general behavior.

      and these numbers look good as well.  System time is around 100%
      (suprisingly better for the 8k case) and Elapsed is copies that trend.

      memcg: enhance memcg iterator to support predicates · de57780d
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      The caller of the iterator might know that some nodes or even subtrees
      should be skipped but there is no way to tell iterators about that so the
      only choice left is to let iterators to visit each node and do the
      selection outside of the iterating code.  This, however, doesn't scale
      well with hierarchies with many groups where only few groups are
      interesting.
      
      This patch adds mem_cgroup_iter_cond variant of the iterator with a
      callback which gets called for every visited node.  There are three
      possible ways how the callback can influence the walk.  Either the node is
      visited, it is skipped but the tree walk continues down the tree or the
      whole subtree of the current group is skipped.

      vmscan, memcg: do softlimit reclaim also for targeted reclaim · a5b7c87f
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Soft reclaim has been done only for the global reclaim (both background
      and direct).  Since "memcg: integrate soft reclaim tighter with zone
      shrinking code" there is no reason for this limitation anymore as the soft
      limit reclaim doesn't use any special code paths and it is a part of the
      zone shrinking code which is used by both global and targeted reclaims.
      
      From the semantic point of view it is natural to consider soft limit
      before touching all groups in the hierarchy tree which is touching the
      hard limit because soft limit tells us where to push back when there is a
      memory pressure.  It is not important whether the pressure comes from the
      limit or imbalanced zones.
      
      This patch simply enables soft reclaim unconditionally in
      mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim so it is enabled for both global and
      targeted reclaim paths.  mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible needs to learn
      about the root of the reclaim to know where to stop checking soft limit
      state of parents up the hierarchy.  Say we have
      
      A (over soft limit)
       \
        B (below s.l., hit the hard limit)
       / \
      C   D (below s.l.)
      
      B is the source of the outside memory pressure now for D but we shouldn't
      soft reclaim it because it is behaving well under B subtree and we can
      still reclaim from C (pressumably it is over the limit).
      mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible should therefore stop climbing up the
      hierarchy at B (root of the memory pressure).

      memcg, vmscan: integrate soft reclaim tighter with zone shrinking code · 3b38722e
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      This patchset is sitting out of tree for quite some time without any
      objections.  I would be really happy if it made it into 3.12.  I do not
      want to push it too hard but I think this work is basically ready and
      waiting more doesn't help.
      
      The basic idea is quite simple.  Pull soft reclaim into shrink_zone in the
      first step and get rid of the previous soft reclaim infrastructure.
      shrink_zone is done in two passes now.  First it tries to do the soft
      limit reclaim and it falls back to reclaim-all mode if no group is over
      the limit or no pages have been scanned.  The second pass happens at the
      same priority so the only time we waste is the memcg tree walk which has
      been updated in the third step to have only negligible overhead.
      
      As a bonus we will get rid of a _lot_ of code by this and soft reclaim
      will not stand out like before when it wasn't integrated into the zone
      shrinking code and it reclaimed at priority 0 (the testing results show
      that some workloads suffers from such an aggressive reclaim).  The clean
      up is in a separate patch because I felt it would be easier to review that
      way.
      
      The second step is soft limit reclaim integration into targeted reclaim.
      It should be rather straight forward.  Soft limit has been used only for
      the global reclaim so far but it makes sense for any kind of pressure
      coming from up-the-hierarchy, including targeted reclaim.
      
      The third step (patches 4-8) addresses the tree walk overhead by enhancing
      memcg iterators to enable skipping whole subtrees and tracking number of
      over soft limit children at each level of the hierarchy.  This information
      is updated same way the old soft limit tree was updated (from
      memcg_check_events) so we shouldn't see an additional overhead.  In fact
      mem_cgroup_update_soft_limit is much simpler than tree manipulation done
      previously.
      
      __shrink_zone uses mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible as a predicate for
      mem_cgroup_iter so the decision whether a particular group should be
      visited is done at the iterator level which allows us to decide to skip
      the whole subtree as well (if there is no child in excess).  This reduces
      the tree walk overhead considerably.
      
      * TEST 1
      ========
      
      My primary test case was a parallel kernel build with 2 groups (make is
      running with -j8 with a distribution .config in a separate cgroup without
      any hard limit) on a 32 CPU machine booted with 1GB memory and both builds
      run taskset to Node 0 cpus.
      
      I was mostly interested in 2 setups.  Default - no soft limit set and -
      and 0 soft limit set to both groups.  The first one should tell us whether
      the rework regresses the default behavior while the second one should show
      us improvements in an extreme case where both workloads are always over
      the soft limit.
      
      /usr/bin/time -v has been used to collect the statistics and each
      configuration had 3 runs after fresh boot without any other load on the
      system.

      average looks good.

      The improvement is really huge here (even bigger than with my previous
      testing and I suspect that this highly depends on the storage).  Page
      fault statistics tell us at least part of the story:
      
      Minor
      0-limit/base: min: 37180461.00 max: 37319986.00 avg: 37247470.00 std: 54772.71 runs: 6

      Same as with my previous testing Minor faults are more or less within
      noise but Major fault count is way bellow the base kernel.
      
      While this looks as a nice win it is fair to say that 0-limit
      configuration is quite artificial. So I was playing with 0-no-limit
      loads as well.
      
      * TEST 2
      ========
      
      The following results are from 2 groups configuration on a 16GB machine
      (single NUMA node).
      
      - A running stream IO (dd if=/dev/zero of=local.file bs=1024) with
        2*TotalMem with 0 soft limit.
      - B running a mem_eater which consumes TotalMem-1G without any limit. The
        mem_eater consumes the memory in 100 chunks with 1s nap after each
        mmap+poppulate so that both loads have chance to fight for the memory.
      
      The expected result is that B shouldn't be reclaimed and A shouldn't see
      a big dropdown in elapsed time.

      System time improved slightly as well as Elapsed. My previous testing
      has shown worse numbers but this again seem to depend on the storage
      speed.
      
      My theory is that the writeback doesn't catch up and prio-0 soft reclaim
      falls into wait on writeback page too often in the base kernel. The
      patched kernel doesn't do that because the soft reclaim is done from the
      kswapd/direct reclaim context. This can be seen on the following graph
      nicely. The A's group usage_in_bytes regurarly drops really low very often.
      
      All 3 runs
      http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/stream.png
      resp. a detail of the single run
      http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/stream-one-run.png
      
      mem_eater seems to be doing better as well. It gets to the full
      allocation size faster as can be seen on the following graph:
      http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/mem_eater-one-run.png
      
      /proc/meminfo collected during the test also shows that rework kernel
      hasn't swapped that much (well almost not at all):
      base: max: 123900 K avg: 56388.29 K
      rework: max: 300 K avg: 128.68 K
      
      kswapd and direct reclaim statistics are of no use unfortunatelly because
      soft reclaim is not accounted properly as the counters are hidden by
      global_reclaim() checks in the base kernel.
      
      * TEST 3
      ========
      
      Another test was the same configuration as TEST2 except the stream IO was
      replaced by a single kbuild (16 parallel jobs bound to Node0 cpus same as
      in TEST1) and mem_eater allocated TotalMem-200M so kbuild had only 200MB
      left.
      
      Kbuild did better with the rework kernel here as well:
      User
      base: min: 860.28 max: 872.86 avg: 868.03 std: 5.54 runs: 3

      Again we can see a significant improvement in Elapsed (it also seems to
      be more stable), there is a huge dropdown for the Major page faults and
      much more swapping:
      base: max: 583736 K avg: 112547.43 K
      rework: max: 4012 K avg: 124.36 K
      
      Graphs from all three runs show the variability of the kbuild quite
      nicely.  It even seems that it took longer after every run with the base
      kernel which would be quite surprising as the source tree for the build is
      removed and caches are dropped after each run so the build operates on a
      freshly extracted sources everytime.
      http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/kbuild-mem_eater.png
      
      My other testing shows that this is just a matter of timing and other runs
      behave differently the std for Elapsed time is similar ~50.  Example of
      other three runs:
      http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/kbuild-mem_eater2.png
      
      So to wrap this up.  The series is still doing good and improves the soft
      limit.
      
      The testing results for bunch of cgroups with both stream IO and kbuild
      loads can be found in "memcg: track children in soft limit excess to
      improve soft limit".
      
      This patch:
      
      Memcg soft reclaim has been traditionally triggered from the global
      reclaim paths before calling shrink_zone.  mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim
      then picked up a group which exceeds the soft limit the most and reclaimed
      it with 0 priority to reclaim at least SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages.
      
      The infrastructure requires per-node-zone trees which hold over-limit
      groups and keep them up-to-date (via memcg_check_events) which is not cost
      free.  Although this overhead hasn't turned out to be a bottle neck the
      implementation is suboptimal because mem_cgroup_update_tree has no idea
      which zones consumed memory over the limit so we could easily end up
      having a group on a node-zone tree having only few pages from that
      node-zone.
      
      This patch doesn't try to fix node-zone trees management because it seems
      that integrating soft reclaim into zone shrinking sounds much easier and
      more appropriate for several reasons.  First of all 0 priority reclaim was
      a crude hack which might lead to big stalls if the group's LRUs are big
      and hard to reclaim (e.g.  a lot of dirty/writeback pages).  Soft reclaim
      should be applicable also to the targeted reclaim which is awkward right
      now without additional hacks.  Last but not least the whole infrastructure
      eats quite some code.
      
      After this patch shrink_zone is done in 2 passes.  First it tries to do
      the soft reclaim if appropriate (only for global reclaim for now to keep
      compatible with the original state) and fall back to ignoring soft limit
      if no group is eligible to soft reclaim or nothing has been scanned during
      the first pass.  Only groups which are over their soft limit or any of
      their parents up the hierarchy is over the limit are considered eligible
      during the first pass.
      
      Soft limit tree which is not necessary anymore will be removed in the
      follow up patch to make this patch smaller and easier to review.

      Li Zefan 提交于
      vfs guarantees the cgroup won't be destroyed, so it's redundant to get a
      css reference.

      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
       "A small batch of fixes that have trickled in over the last week of the
        merge window.
      
        Also included are few small devicetree updates for sunxi, since it
        enables me to use one of their newer boards (cubieboard2) for
        additional test coverage.  The support for that SoC is new for 3.12,
        so there's no exposure to new regressions due to it"
