Based on Michal Hocko's comment.
We are not draining per cpu cached charges during soft limit reclaim
because background reclaim doesn't care about charges. It tries to free
some memory and charges will not give any.
Cached charges might influence only selection of the biggest soft limit
offender but as the call is done only after the selection has been already
done it makes no change.

For performance, memory cgroup caches some "charge" from res_counter into
per cpu cache. This works well but because it's cache, it needs to be
flushed in some cases. Typical cases are
1. when someone hit limit.
2. when rmdir() is called and need to charges to be 0.
But "1" has problem.
Recently, with large SMP machines, we see many kworker runs because of
flushing memcg's cache. Bad things in implementation are that even if a
cpu contains a cache for memcg not related to a memcg which hits limit,
drain code is called.
This patch does
A) check percpu cache contains a useful data or not.
B) check other asynchronous percpu draining doesn't run.
C) don't call local cpu callback.
(*)This patch avoid changing the calling condition with hard-limit.

Hierarchical reclaim doesn't swap out if memsw and resource limits are
thye same (memsw_is_minimum == true) because we would hit mem+swap limit
anyway (during hard limit reclaim).
If it comes to the soft limit we shouldn't consider memsw_is_minimum at
all because it doesn't make much sense. Either the soft limit is bellow
the hard limit and then we cannot hit mem+swap limit or the direct reclaim
takes a precedence.

Currently, memcg reclaim can disable swap token even if the swap token mm
doesn't belong in its memory cgroup. It's slightly risky. If an admin
creates very small mem-cgroup and silly guy runs contentious heavy memory
pressure workload, every tasks are going to lose swap token and then
system may become unresponsive. That's bad.
This patch adds 'memcg' parameter into disable_swap_token(). and if the
parameter doesn't match swap token, VM doesn't disable it.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

fs/fuse/dev.c::fuse_try_move_page() does
(1) remove a page by ->steal()
(2) re-add the page to page cache
(3) link the page to LRU if it was not on LRU at (1)
This implies the page is _on_ LRU when it's added to radix-tree. So, the
page is added to memory cgroup while it's on LRU. because LRU is lazy and
no one flushs it.
This is the same behavior as SwapCache and needs special care as
- remove page from LRU before overwrite pc->mem_cgroup.
- add page to LRU after overwrite pc->mem_cgroup.
And we need to taking care of pagevec.
If PageLRU(page) is set before we add PCG_USED bit, the page will not be
added to memcg's LRU (in short period). So, regardlress of PageLRU(page)
value before commit_charge(), we need to check PageLRU(page) after
commit_charge().

For increasing and decreasing per-cpu cgroup usage counters it makes sense
to use signed types, as single per-cpu values might go negative during
updates. But this is not the case for only-ever-increasing event
counters.
All the counters have been signed 64-bit so far, which was enough to count
events even with the sign bit wasted.
This patch:
- divides s64 counters into signed usage counters and unsigned
monotonically increasing event counters.
- converts unsigned event counters into 'unsigned long' rather than
'u64'. This matches the type used by the /proc/vmstat event counters.
The next patch narrows the signed usage counters type (on 32-bit CPUs,
that is).

The per-cgroup LRU lists string up 'struct page_cgroup's. To get from
those structures to the page they represent, a lookup is required.
Currently, the lookup is done through a direct pointer in struct
page_cgroup, so a lot of functions down the callchain do this lookup by
themselves instead of receiving the page pointer from their callers.
The next patch removes this pointer, however, and the lookup is no longer
that straight-forward. In preparation for that, this patch only leaves
the non-optional lookups when coming directly from the LRU list and passes
the page down the stack.

Instead of passing a whole struct page_cgroup to this function, let it
take only what it really needs from it: the struct mem_cgroup and the
page.
This has the advantage that reading pc->mem_cgroup is now done at the same
place where the ordering rules for this pointer are enforced and
explained.
It is also in preparation for removing the pc->page backpointer.

This patch series removes the direct page pointer from struct page_cgroup,
which saves 20% of per-page memcg memory overhead (Fedora and Ubuntu
enable memcg per default, openSUSE apparently too).
The node id or section number is encoded in the remaining free bits of
pc->flags which allows calculating the corresponding page without the
extra pointer.
I ran, what I think is, a worst-case microbenchmark that just cats a large
sparse file to /dev/null, because it means that walking the LRU list on
behalf of per-cgroup reclaim and looking up pages from page_cgroups is
happening constantly and at a high rate. But it made no measurable
difference. A profile reported a 0.11% share of the new
lookup_cgroup_page() function in this benchmark.
This patch:
All callsites check PCG_USED before passing pc->mem_cgroup, so the latter
is never NULL.

Add checks at allocating or freeing a page whether the page is used (iow,
charged) from the view point of memcg.
This check may be useful in debugging a problem and we did similar checks
before the commit 52d4b9ac(memcg: allocate all page_cgroup at boot).
This patch adds some overheads at allocating or freeing memory, so it's
enabled only when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled.

Since transparent huge pages, checking whether memory cgroups are below
their limits is no longer enough, but the actual amount of chargeable
space is important.
To not have more than one limit-checking interface, replace
memory_cgroup_check_under_limit() and memory_cgroup_check_margin() with a
single memory_cgroup_margin() that returns the chargeable space and leaves
the comparison to the callsite.
Soft limits are now checked the other way round, by using the already
existing function that returns the amount by which soft limits are
exceeded: res_counter_soft_limit_excess().
Also remove all the corresponding functions on the res_counter side that
are now no longer used.

mem_cgroup_start_A(&(*ptr))

Right now, if a mm_walk has either ->pte_entry or ->pmd_entry set, it will
unconditionally split any transparent huge pages it runs in to. In
practice, that means that anyone doing a
cat /proc/$pid/smaps
will unconditionally break down every huge page in the process and depend
on khugepaged to re-collapse it later. This is fairly suboptimal.
This patch changes that behavior. It teaches each ->pmd_entry handler
(there are five) that they must break down the THPs themselves. Also, the
_generic_ code will never break down a THP unless a ->pte_entry handler is
actually set.
This means that the ->pmd_entry handlers can now choose to deal with THPs
without breaking them down.

The rotate_reclaimable_page function moves just written out pages, which
the VM wanted to reclaim, to the end of the inactive list. That way the
VM will find those pages first next time it needs to free memory.

working page eviction of memcg.

This function basically does:
remove_from_page_cache(old);
page_cache_release(old);
add_to_page_cache_locked(new);
Except it does this atomically, so there's no possibility for the "add" to
fail because of a race.
If memory cgroups are enabled, then the memory cgroup charge is also moved
from the old page to the new.
This function is currently used by fuse to move pages into the page cache
on read, instead of copying the page contents.

If reclaim after a failed charging was unsuccessful, the limits are
checked again, just in case they settled by means of other tasks.
This is all fine as long as every charge is of size PAGE_SIZE, because in
that case, being below the limit means having at least PAGE_SIZE bytes
available.
But with transparent huge pages, we may end up in an endless loop where
charging and reclaim fail, but we keep going because the limits are not
yet exceeded, although not allowing for a huge page.
Fix this up by explicitely checking for enough room, not just whether we
are within limits.

The charging code can encounter a charge size that is bigger than a
regular page in two situations: one is a batched charge to fill the
per-cpu stocks, the other is a huge page charge.
This code is distributed over two functions, however, and only the outer
one is aware of huge pages. In case the charging fails, the inner
function will tell the outer function to retry if the charge size is
bigger than regular pages--assuming batched charging is the only case.
And the outer function will retry forever charging a huge page.
This patch makes sure the inner function can distinguish between batch
charging and a single huge page charge. It will only signal another
attempt if batch charging failed, and go into regular reclaim when it is
called on behalf of a huge page.

This means that the current implementation of swapaccount[=1|0] doesn't

testing for "0" resp. "1" but we are getting "=0" resp. "=1" and if

because we don't take lock. Use PageTransHuge() and HPAGE_SIZE instead
of it.
Also clean up for mem_cgroup_move_parent().
- remove unnecessary initialization of local variable.
- rename charge_size -> page_size
- remove unnecessary (wrong) comment.
- added a comment about THP.
Note:
Current design take compound_page_lock() in caller of move_account().
This should be revisited when we implement direct move_task of hugepage
