      memcg: fix page_cgroup allocation · 94b6da5a
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      page_cgroup_init() is called from mem_cgroup_init(). But at this
      point, we cannot call alloc_bootmem().
      (and this caused panic at boot.)
      
      This patch moves page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c.
      
      Time table is following:
      ==
        parse_args(). # we can trust mem_cgroup_subsys.disabled bit after this.
        ....
        cgroup_init_early()  # "early" init of cgroup.
        ....
        setup_arch()         # memmap is allocated.
        ...
        page_cgroup_init();
        mem_init();   # we cannot call alloc_bootmem after this.
        ....
        cgroup_init() # mem_cgroup is initialized.
      ==
      
      Before page_cgroup_init(), mem_map must be initialized. So,
      I added page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c directly.
      
      (*) maybe this is not very clean but
          - cgroup_init_early() is too early
          - in cgroup_init(), we have to use vmalloc instead of alloc_bootmem().
          use of vmalloc area in x86-32 is important and we should avoid very large
          vmalloc() in x86-32. So, we want to use alloc_bootmem() and added page_cgroup_init()
          directly to init/main.c

      memcg: allocate all page_cgroup at boot · 52d4b9ac
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      Allocate all page_cgroup at boot and remove page_cgroup poitner from
      struct page.  This patch adds an interface as
      
       struct page_cgroup *lookup_page_cgroup(struct page*)
      
      All FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM/SPARSEMEM  and MEMORY_HOTPLUG is supported.
      
      Remove page_cgroup pointer reduces the amount of memory by
       - 4 bytes per PAGE_SIZE.
       - 8 bytes per PAGE_SIZE
      if memory controller is disabled. (even if configured.)
      
      On usual 8GB x86-32 server, this saves 8MB of NORMAL_ZONE memory.
      On my x86-64 server with 48GB of memory, this saves 96MB of memory.
      I think this reduction makes sense.
      
      By pre-allocation, kmalloc/kfree in charge/uncharge are removed.
      This means
        - we're not necessary to be afraid of kmalloc faiulre.
          (this can happen because of gfp_mask type.)
        - we can avoid calling kmalloc/kfree.
        - we can avoid allocating tons of small objects which can be fragmented.
        - we can know what amount of memory will be used for this extra-lru handling.
      
      I added printk message as
      
      	"allocated %ld bytes of page_cgroup"
              "please try cgroup_disable=memory option if you don't want"
      
      maybe enough informative for users.
