Every slab page charged to a non-root memory cgroup has a pointer to the
memory cgroup and holds a reference to it, which protects a non-empty
memory cgroup from being released. At the same time the page has a
pointer to the corresponding kmem_cache, and also hold a reference to the
kmem_cache. And kmem_cache by itself holds a reference to the cgroup.
So there is clearly some redundancy, which allows to stop setting the
page->mem_cgroup pointer and rely on getting memcg pointer indirectly via
kmem_cache. Further it will allow to change this pointer easier, without
a need to go over all charged pages.
So let's stop setting page->mem_cgroup pointer for slab pages, and stop
using the css refcounter directly for protecting the memory cgroup from
going away. Instead rely on kmem_cache as an intermediate object.
Make sure that vmstats and shrinker lists are working as previously, as
well as /proc/kpagecgroup interface.

We have a single node system with node 0 disabled:

NODE_DATA(1) allocated [mem 0xfbfda000-0xfbfeffff]
This causes crashes in memcg when system boots:

It is reproducible as far as 4.12. I did not try older kernels. You have
to have a new enough systemd, e.g. 241 (the reason is unknown -- was not
investigated). Cannot be reproduced with systemd 234.
The system crashes because the size of lru array is never updated in
memcg_update_all_list_lrus and the reads are past the zero-sized array,
causing dereferences of random memory.
The root cause are list_lru_memcg_aware checks in the list_lru code. The
test in list_lru_memcg_aware is broken: it assumes node 0 is always
present, but it is not true on some systems as can be seen above.
So fix this by avoiding checks on node 0. Remember the memcg-awareness by
a bool flag in struct list_lru.

Provide list_lru_shrink_walk_irq() and let it behave like
list_lru_walk_one() except that it locks the spinlock with
spin_lock_irq(). This is used by scan_shadow_nodes() because its lock
nests within the i_pages lock which is acquired with IRQ. This change
allows to use proper locking promitives instead hand crafted
lock_irq_disable() plus spin_lock().
There is no EXPORT_SYMBOL provided because the current user is in-kernel

Add list_lru_shrink_walk_irq() which acquires the spinlock with the
proper locking primitives.

__list_lru_walk_one() is invoked with struct list_lru *lru, int nid as
the first two argument. Those two are only used to retrieve struct
list_lru_node. Since this is already done by the caller of the function
for the locking, we can pass struct list_lru_node* directly and avoid
the dance around it.

Patch series "mm/list_lru: Add list_lru_shrink_walk_irq() and a user".
This series removes the local_irq_disable() around
list_lru_shrink_walk() (as used by mm/workingset) by adding
list_lru_shrink_walk_irq().
Vladimir Davydov preferred this over `irq' argument which I added to
struct list_lru.
The initial post (of this series) received a Reviewed-by tag by Vladimir
Davydov which I added to each patch of the series. The series applies
on top of akpm's tree which has Kirill's shrink_slab series and does not
clash with it (akpm asked me to wait a week or so and repost it then).
I tested the code paths by triggering the OOM-killer via memory over
commit and lockdep did not complain (nor did I see any warnings).
This patch (of 4):
list_lru_walk_node() invokes __list_lru_walk_one() with -1 as the
memcg_idx parameter. The same can be achieved by list_lru_walk_one() and
passing NULL as memcg argument which then gets converted into -1. This is
a preparation step when the spin_lock() function is lifted to the caller
of __list_lru_walk_one(). Invoke list_lru_walk_one() instead
__list_lru_walk_one() when possible.

Patch series "Improve shrink_slab() scalability (old complexity was O(n^2), new is O(n))", v8.
This patcheset solves the problem with slow shrink_slab() occuring on
the machines having many shrinkers and memory cgroups (i.e., with many
containers). The problem is complexity of shrink_slab() is O(n^2) and
it grows too fast with the growth of containers numbers.
Let us have 200 containers, and every container has 10 mounts and 10
cgroups. All container tasks are isolated, and they don't touch foreign
containers mounts.
In case of global reclaim, a task has to iterate all over the memcgs and
to call all the memcg-aware shrinkers for all of them. This means, the
task has to visit 200 * 10 = 2000 shrinkers for every memcg, and since
there are 2000 memcgs, the total calls of do_shrink_slab() are 2000 *
2000 = 4000000.
4 million calls are not a number operations, which can takes 1 cpu
cycle. E.g., super_cache_count() accesses at least two lists, and makes
arifmetical calculations. Even, if there are no charged objects, we do
these calculations, and replaces cpu caches by read memory. I observed
nodes spending almost 100% time in kernel, in case of intensive writing
and global reclaim. The writer consumes pages fast, but it's need to
shrink_slab() before the reclaimer reached shrink pages function (and
frees SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages). Even if there is no writing, the
iterations just waste the time, and slows reclaim down.
Let's see the small test below:
$echo 1 > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.use_hierarchy
$mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct
$echo 4000M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes
$for i in `seq 0 4000`;
do mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/$i;
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/$i/cgroup.procs;
mkdir -p s/$i; mount -t tmpfs $i s/$i; touch s/$i/file;
done
Then, let's see drop caches time (5 sequential calls):
$time echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
0.00user 13.78system 0:13.78elapsed 99%CPU
0.00user 5.59system 0:05.60elapsed 99%CPU
0.00user 5.48system 0:05.48elapsed 99%CPU
0.00user 8.35system 0:08.35elapsed 99%CPU
0.00user 8.34system 0:08.35elapsed 99%CPU
The last four calls don't actually shrink anything. So, the iterations
over slab shrinkers take 5.48 seconds. Not so good for scalability.
The patchset solves the problem by making shrink_slab() of O(n)
complexity. There are following functional actions:
1) Assign id to every registered memcg-aware shrinker.
2) Maintain per-memcgroup bitmap of memcg-aware shrinkers, and set a
shrinker-related bit after the first element is added to lru list
(also, when removed child memcg elements are reparanted).
3) Split memcg-aware shrinkers and !memcg-aware shrinkers, and call a
shrinker if its bit is set in memcg's shrinker bitmap. (Also, there is
a functionality to clear the bit, after last element is shrinked).
This gives significant performance increase. The result after patchset
is applied:
$time echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
0.00user 1.10system 0:01.10elapsed 99%CPU
0.00user 0.00system 0:00.01elapsed 64%CPU
0.00user 0.01system 0:00.01elapsed 82%CPU
0.00user 0.00system 0:00.01elapsed 64%CPU
0.00user 0.01system 0:00.01elapsed 82%CPU
The results show the performance increases at least in 548 times.
So, the patchset makes shrink_slab() of less complexity and improves the
performance in such types of load I pointed. This will give a profit in
case of !global reclaim case, since there also will be less
do_shrink_slab() calls.
This patch (of 17):
These two pairs of blocks of code are under the same #ifdef #else
#endif.

During the reclaiming slab of a memcg, shrink_slab iterates over all
registered shrinkers in the system, and tries to count and consume
objects related to the cgroup. In case of memory pressure, this behaves
bad: I observe high system time and time spent in list_lru_count_one()
for many processes on RHEL7 kernel.
This patch makes list_lru_node::memcg_lrus rcu protected, that allows to
skip taking spinlock in list_lru_count_one().

For quick per-memcg indexing, slab caches and list_lru structures
maintain linear arrays of descriptors. As the number of concurrent
memory cgroups in the system goes up, this requires large contiguous
allocations (8k cgroups = order-5, 16k cgroups = order-6 etc.) for every
existing slab cache and list_lru, which can easily fail on loaded
systems. E.g.:

list_lru_count_node() iterates over all memcgs to get the total number of
entries on the node but it can race with memcg_drain_all_list_lrus(),
which migrates the entries from a dead cgroup to another. This can return
incorrect number of entries from list_lru_count_node().
Fix this by keeping track of entries per node and simply return it in
list_lru_count_node().

As described in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177821:
After some analysis it seems to be that the problem is in alloc_super().
In case list_lru_init_memcg() fails it goes into destroy_super(), which
calls list_lru_destroy().
And in list_lru_init() we see that in case memcg_init_list_lru() fails,
lru->node is freed, but not set NULL, which then leads list_lru_destroy()
to believe it is initialized and call memcg_destroy_list_lru().
memcg_destroy_list_lru() in turn can access lru->node[i].memcg_lrus,
which is NULL.

Before the previous patch ("memcg: unify slab and other kmem pages
charging"), __mem_cgroup_from_kmem had to handle two types of kmem - slab
pages and pages allocated with alloc_kmem_pages - memcg in the page
struct. Now we can unify it. Since after it, this function becomes tiny
we can fold it into mem_cgroup_from_kmem.

The functions used in the patch are in slowpath, which gets called
whenever alloc_super is called during mounts.
Though this should not make difference for the architectures with
sequential numa node ids, for the powerpc which can potentially have
sparse node ids (for e.g., 4 node system having numa ids, 0,1,16,17 is
common), this patch saves some unnecessary allocations for non existing
numa nodes.
Even without that saving, perhaps patch makes code more readable.

Now, the only reason to keep kmemcg_id till css free is list_lru, which
uses it to distribute elements between per-memcg lists. However, it can
be easily sorted out - we only need to change kmemcg_id of an offline
cgroup to its parent's id, making further list_lru_add()'s add elements to
the parent's list, and then move all elements from the offline cgroup's
list to the one of its parent. It will work, because a racing
list_lru_del() does not need to know the list it is deleting the element
from. It can decrement the wrong nr_items counter though, but the ongoing
reparenting will fix it. After list_lru reparenting is done we are free
to release kmemcg_id saving a valuable slot in a per-memcg array for new
cgroups.

Currently, the isolate callback passed to the list_lru_walk family of
functions is supposed to just delete an item from the list upon returning
LRU_REMOVED or LRU_REMOVED_RETRY, while nr_items counter is fixed by
__list_lru_walk_one after the callback returns. Since the callback is
allowed to drop the lock after removing an item (it has to return
LRU_REMOVED_RETRY then), the nr_items can be less than the actual number
of elements on the list even if we check them under the lock. This makes
it difficult to move items from one list_lru_one to another, which is
required for per-memcg list_lru reparenting - we can't just splice the
lists, we have to move entries one by one.
This patch therefore introduces helpers that must be used by callback
functions to isolate items instead of raw list_del/list_move. These are
list_lru_isolate and list_lru_isolate_move. They not only remove the
entry from the list, but also fix the nr_items counter, making sure
nr_items always reflects the actual number of elements on the list if
checked under the appropriate lock.

There are several FS shrinkers, including super_block::s_shrink, that
keep reclaimable objects in the list_lru structure. Hence to turn them
to memcg-aware shrinkers, it is enough to make list_lru per-memcg.
This patch does the trick. It adds an array of lru lists to the
list_lru_node structure (per-node part of the list_lru), one for each
kmem-active memcg, and dispatches every item addition or removal to the
list corresponding to the memcg which the item is accounted to. So now
the list_lru structure is not just per node, but per node and per memcg.
Not all list_lrus need this feature, so this patch also adds a new
method, list_lru_init_memcg, which initializes a list_lru as memcg
aware. Otherwise (i.e. if initialized with old list_lru_init), the
list_lru won't have per memcg lists.
Just like per memcg caches arrays, the arrays of per-memcg lists are
indexed by memcg_cache_id, so we must grow them whenever
memcg_nr_cache_ids is increased. So we introduce a callback,
memcg_update_all_list_lrus, invoked by memcg_alloc_cache_id if the id
space is full.
The locking is implemented in a manner similar to lruvecs, i.e. we have
one lock per node that protects all lists (both global and per cgroup) on
the node.

To make list_lru memcg aware, we need all list_lrus to be kept on a list
protected by a mutex, so that we could sleep while walking over the
list.
Therefore after this change list_lru_destroy may sleep. Fortunately,
there is only one user that calls it from an atomic context - it's
put_super - and we can easily fix it by calling list_lru_destroy before
put_super in destroy_locked_super - anyway we don't longer need lrus by
that time.
Another point that should be noted is that list_lru_destroy is allowed
to be called on an uninitialized zeroed-out object, in which case it is
a no-op. Before this patch this was guaranteed by kfree, but now we
need an explicit check there.

The active_nodes mask allows us to skip empty nodes when walking over
list_lru items from all nodes in list_lru_count/walk. However, these
functions are never called from hot paths, so it doesn't seem we need
such kind of optimization there. OTOH, removing the mask will make it
easier to make list_lru per-memcg.

Previously, page cache radix tree nodes were freed after reclaim emptied
out their page pointers. But now reclaim stores shadow entries in their
place, which are only reclaimed when the inodes themselves are
reclaimed. This is problematic for bigger files that are still in use
after they have a significant amount of their cache reclaimed, without
any of those pages actually refaulting. The shadow entries will just
sit there and waste memory. In the worst case, the shadow entries will
accumulate until the machine runs out of memory.
To get this under control, the VM will track radix tree nodes
exclusively containing shadow entries on a per-NUMA node list. Per-NUMA
rather than global because we expect the radix tree nodes themselves to
be allocated node-locally and we want to reduce cross-node references of
otherwise independent cache workloads. A simple shrinker will then
reclaim these nodes on memory pressure.
A few things need to be stored in the radix tree node to implement the
shadow node LRU and allow tree deletions coming from the list:
1. There is no index available that would describe the reverse path
from the node up to the tree root, which is needed to perform a
deletion. To solve this, encode in each node its offset inside the
parent. This can be stored in the unused upper bits of the same
member that stores the node's height at no extra space cost.
2. The number of shadow entries needs to be counted in addition to the
regular entries, to quickly detect when the node is ready to go to
the shadow node LRU list. The current entry count is an unsigned
int but the maximum number of entries is 64, so a shadow counter
can easily be stored in the unused upper bits.
3. Tree modification needs tree lock and tree root, which are located
in the address space, so store an address_space backpointer in the
node. The parent pointer of the node is in a union with the 2-word
rcu_head, so the backpointer comes at no extra cost as well.
4. The node needs to be linked to an LRU list, which requires a list
head inside the node. This does increase the size of the node, but
it does not change the number of objects that fit into a slab page.

* decrement nr_to_walk first so that we don't livelock if we
* get stuck on large numbesr of LRU_RETRY items
*/
if (--(*nr_to_walk) == 0)
break;
So, if *nr_to_walk was zero when this function was entered, that means
we're wanting to operate on (~0UL)+1 objects - which might as well be
infinite.
Clearly this is not correct behaviour. If we think about the behaviour
of this function when *nr_to_walk is 1, then clearly it's wrong - we
decrement first and then test for zero - which results in us doing
nothing at all. A post-decrement would give the desired behaviour -
we'd try to walk one object and one object only if *nr_to_walk were one.
It also gives the correct behaviour for zero - we exit at this point.

We currently use a compile-time constant to size the node array for the
list_lru structure. Due to this, we don't need to allocate any memory at
initialization time. But as a consequence, the structures that contain
embedded list_lru lists can become way too big (the superblock for
instance contains two of them).
This patch aims at ameliorating this situation by dynamically allocating
the node arrays with the firmware provided nr_node_ids.

The list_lru implementation has one function, list_lru_dispose_all, with
only one user (the dentry code). At first, such function appears to make
sense because we are really not interested in the result of isolating each
dentry separately - all of them are going away anyway. However, it's
implementation is buggy in the following way:
When we call list_lru_dispose_all in fs/dcache.c, we scan all dentries
marking them with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST. However, this is done without the
nlru->lock taken. The imediate result of that is that someone else may
add or remove the dentry from the LRU at the same time. When list_lru_del
happens in that scenario we will see an element that is not yet marked
with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST (even though it will be in the future) and
obviously remove it from an lru where the element no longer is. Since
list_lru_dispose_all will in effect count down nlru's nr_items and
list_lru_del will do the same, this will lead to an imbalance.
The solution for this would not be so simple: we can obviously just keep
the lru_lock taken, but then we have no guarantees that we will be able to
acquire the dentry lock (dentry->d_lock). To properly solve this, we need
a communication mechanism between the lru and dentry code, so they can
coordinate this with each other.
Such mechanism already exists in the form of the list_lru_walk_cb
callback. So it is possible to construct a dcache-side prune function
that does the right thing only by calling list_lru_walk in a loop until no
more dentries are available.
With only one user, plus the fact that a sane solution for the problem
would involve boucing between dcache and list_lru anyway, I see little
justification to keep the special case list_lru_dispose_all in tree.

This patch adapts the list_lru API to accept an optional node argument, to
be used by NUMA aware shrinking functions. Code that does not care about
the NUMA placement of objects can still call into the very same functions
as before. They will simply iterate over all nodes.

The LRU_RETRY code assumes that the list traversal status after we have
dropped and regained the list lock. Unfortunately, this is not a valid
assumption, and that can lead to racing traversals isolating objects that
the other traversal expects to be the next item on the list.
This is causing problems with the inode cache shrinker isolation, with
races resulting in an inode on a dispose list being "isolated" because a
racing traversal still thinks it is on the LRU. The inode is then never
reclaimed and that causes hangs if a subsequent lookup on that inode
occurs.
Fix it by always restarting the list walk on a LRU_RETRY return from the
isolate callback. Avoid the possibility of livelocks the current code was
trying to avoid by always decrementing the nr_to_walk counter on retries
so that even if we keep hitting the same item on the list we'll eventually
stop trying to walk and exit out of the situation causing the problem.

Now that we have an LRU list API, we can start to enhance the
implementation. This splits the single LRU list into per-node lists and
locks to enhance scalability. Items are placed on lists according to the
node the memory belongs to. To make scanning the lists efficient, also
track whether the per-node lists have entries in them in a active
nodemask.
Note: We use a fixed-size array for the node LRU, this struct can be very
big if MAX_NUMNODES is big. If this becomes a problem this is fixable by
turning this into a pointer and dynamically allocating this to
nr_node_ids. This quantity is firwmare-provided, and still would provide
room for all nodes at the cost of a pointer lookup and an extra
allocation. Because that allocation will most likely come from a may very
well fail.

Several subsystems use the same construct for LRU lists - a list head, a
spin lock and and item count. They also use exactly the same code for
adding and removing items from the LRU. Create a generic type for these
LRU lists.
This is the beginning of generic, node aware LRUs for shrinkers to work
with.
