      mem_cgroup_free() indirectly calls wb_domain_exit() which is not
      prepared to deal with a struct wb_domain object that hasn't executed
      wb_domain_init().  For instance, the following warning message is
      printed by lockdep if alloc_percpu() fails in mem_cgroup_alloc():

      This is a chicken and egg issue where the kernel try to get free memory
      when allocating per node data in mem_cgroup_init(), but in that path
      mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim() is called which assumes that these data
      are allocated.
      
      As mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim() is best effort, it should return when
      these data are not yet allocated.
      
      This patch also fixes potential null pointer access in
      mem_cgroup_remove_from_trees() and mem_cgroup_update_tree().

      Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/mm.h> file that just
      maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
      bisectable.

      slab: use memcg_kmem_cache_wq for slab destruction operations · 17cc4dfe
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      If there's contention on slab_mutex, queueing the per-cache destruction
      work item on the system_wq can unnecessarily create and tie up a lot of
      kworkers.
      
      Rename memcg_kmem_cache_create_wq to memcg_kmem_cache_wq and make it
      global and use that workqueue for the destruction work items too.  While
      at it, convert the workqueue from an unbound workqueue to a per-cpu one
      with concurrency limited to 1.  It's generally preferable to use per-cpu
      workqueues and concurrency limit of 1 is safe enough.
      
      This is suggested by Joonsoo Kim.

      slab: link memcg kmem_caches on their associated memory cgroup · bc2791f8
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and
      destroyed frequently and a great number of near empty kmem_caches can
      accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not
      under memory pressure.  When memory reclaim starts under such
      conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of
      many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large
      systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management
      code.  This is one of the patches to address the issue.
      
      While a memcg kmem_cache is listed on its root cache's ->children list,
      there is no direct way to iterate all kmem_caches which are assocaited
      with a memory cgroup.  The only way to iterate them is walking all
      caches while filtering out caches which don't match, which would be most
      of them.
      
      This makes memcg destruction operations O(N^2) where N is the total
      number of slab caches which can be huge.  This combined with the
      synchronous RCU operations can tie up a CPU and affect the whole machine
      for many hours when memory reclaim triggers offlining and destruction of
      the stale memcgs.
      
      This patch adds mem_cgroup->kmem_caches list which goes through
      memcg_cache_params->kmem_caches_node of all kmem_caches which are
      associated with the memcg.  All memcg specific iterations, including
      stat file access, are updated to use the new list instead.

      the oom killer is clearly pre-mature because there there is still a lot
      of page cache in the zone Normal which should satisfy this lowmem
      request.  Further debugging has shown that the reclaim cannot make any
      forward progress because the page cache is hidden in the active list
      which doesn't get rotated because inactive_list_is_low is not memcg
      aware.
      
      The code simply subtracts per-zone highmem counters from the respective
      memcg's lru sizes which doesn't make any sense.  We can simply end up
      always seeing the resulting active and inactive counts 0 and return
      false.  This issue is not limited to 32b kernels but in practice the
      effect on systems without CONFIG_HIGHMEM would be much harder to notice
      because we do not invoke the OOM killer for allocations requests
      targeting < ZONE_NORMAL.
      
      Fix the issue by tracking per zone lru page counts in mem_cgroup_per_node
      and subtract per-memcg highmem counts when memcg is enabled.  Introduce
      helper lruvec_zone_lru_size which redirects to either zone counters or
      mem_cgroup_get_zone_lru_size when appropriate.
      
      We are losing empty LRU but non-zero lru size detection introduced by
      ca707239 ("mm: update_lru_size warn and reset bad lru_size") because
      of the inherent zone vs. node discrepancy.
      
      Fixes: f8d1a311 ("mm: consider whether to decivate based on eligible zones inactive ratio")

      On later kernels, kmem charging is opt-in rather than opt-out, and that
      particular kmem allocation in btrfs_releasepage() is no longer being
      charged and won't recurse and overrun the stack anymore.
      
      But it's not impossible for an accounted allocation to happen from the
      memcg direct reclaim context, and we needed to reproduce this crash many
      times before we even got a useful stack trace out of it.
      
      Like other direct reclaimers, mark tasks in memcg reclaim PF_MEMALLOC to
      avoid recursing into any other form of direct reclaim.  Then let
      recursive charges from PF_MEMALLOC contexts bypass the cgroup limit.

      mm: memcontrol: make per-cpu charge cache IRQ-safe for socket accounting · db2ba40c
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      During cgroup2 rollout into production, we started encountering css
      refcount underflows and css access crashes in the memory controller.
      Splitting the heavily shared css reference counter into logical users
      narrowed the imbalance down to the cgroup2 socket memory accounting.
      
      The problem turns out to be the per-cpu charge cache.  Cgroup1 had a
      separate socket counter, but the new cgroup2 socket accounting goes
      through the common charge path that uses a shared per-cpu cache for all
      memory that is being tracked.  Those caches are safe against scheduling
      preemption, but not against interrupts - such as the newly added packet
      receive path.  When cache draining is interrupted by network RX taking
      pages out of the cache, the resuming drain operation will put references
      of in-use pages, thus causing the imbalance.
      
      Disable IRQs during all per-cpu charge cache operations.

      mm: memcontrol: only mark charged pages with PageKmemcg · c4159a75
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      To distinguish non-slab pages charged to kmemcg we mark them PageKmemcg,
      which sets page->_mapcount to -512.  Currently, we set/clear PageKmemcg
      in __alloc_pages_nodemask()/free_pages_prepare() for any page allocated
      with __GFP_ACCOUNT, including those that aren't actually charged to any
      cgroup, i.e. allocated from the root cgroup context.  To avoid overhead
      in case cgroups are not used, we only do that if memcg_kmem_enabled() is
      true.  The latter is set iff there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups
      (online or offline).  The root cgroup is not considered kmem-enabled.
      
      As a result, if a page is allocated with __GFP_ACCOUNT for the root
      cgroup when there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups and is freed after all
      kmem-enabled memory cgroups were removed, e.g.
      
        # no memory cgroups has been created yet, create one
        mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
        # run something allocating pages with __GFP_ACCOUNT, e.g.
        # a program using pipe
        dmesg | tail
        # remove the memory cgroup
        rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
      
      we'll get bad page state bug complaining about page->_mapcount != -1:
      
        BUG: Bad page state in process swapper/0  pfn:1fd945c
        page:ffffea007f651700 count:0 mapcount:-511 mapping:          (null) index:0x0
        flags: 0x1000000000000000()
      
      To avoid that, let's mark with PageKmemcg only those pages that are
      actually charged to and hence pin a non-root memory cgroup.

      memcg: put soft limit reclaim out of way if the excess tree is empty · d6507ff5
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      We've had a report about soft lockups caused by lock bouncing in the
      soft reclaim path:
      
        BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [kav4proxy-kavic:3128]
        RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81469798>]  [<ffffffff81469798>] _raw_spin_lock+0x18/0x20

      There are no memcgs created so there cannot be any in the soft limit
      excess obviously:
      
        [...]
        memory  0       1       1
      
      so all this just seems to be mem_cgroup_largest_soft_limit_node trying
      to get spin_lock_irq(&mctz->lock) just to find out that the soft limit
      excess tree is empty.  This is just pointless wasting of cycles and
      cache line bouncing during heavy parallel reclaim on large machines.
      The particular machine wasn't very healthy and most probably suffering
      from a memory leak which just caused the memory reclaim to trash
      heavily.  But bouncing on the lock certainly didn't help...
      
      Fix this by optimistic lockless check and bail out early if the tree is
      empty.  This is theoretically racy but that shouldn't matter all that
      much.  First of all soft limit is a best effort feature and it is slowly
      getting deprecated and its usage should be really scarce.  Bouncing on a
      lock without a good reason is surely much bigger problem, especially on
      large CPU machines.
