b7c6167848 memcg: soft limit reclaim should end at limit not below
Soft limit reclaim continues until the usage is below the current soft
limit, but the documented semantics are actually that soft limit reclaim
will push usage back until the soft limits are met again.

56039efa18 memcg: fix ugly initialization of return value is in caller
Remove initialization of vaiable in caller of memory cgroup function.
Actually, it's return value of memcg function but it's initialized in
caller.

Some memory cgroup uses following style to bring the result of start
function to the end function for avoiding races.

   mem_cgroup_start_A(&(*ptr))
   /* Something very complicated can happen here. */
   mem_cgroup_end_A(*ptr)

In some calls, *ptr should be initialized to NULL be caller.  But it's
ugly.  This patch fixes that *ptr is initialized by _start function.

033193275b pagewalk: only split huge pages when necessary
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.

3f58a82943 memcg: move memcg reclaimable page into tail of inactive list
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.

This patch applies the rule in memcg.  It can help to prevent unnecessary
working page eviction of memcg.

ef6a3c6311 mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function
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.

8493ae439f memcg: never OOM when charging huge pages

19942822df memcg: prevent endless loop when charging huge pages to near-limit group
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.

9221edb712 memcg: prevent endless loop when charging huge pages
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.

552b372ba9 memsw: deprecate noswapaccount kernel parameter and schedule it for removal
noswapaccount couldn't be used to control memsw for both on/off cases so
we have added swapaccount[=0|1] parameter.  This way we can turn the
feature in two ways noswapaccount resp.  swapaccount=0.  We have kept the
original noswapaccount but I think we should remove it after some time as
it just makes more command line parameters without any advantages and also
the code to handle parameters is uglier if we want both parameters.

fceda1bf49 memsw: handle swapaccount kernel parameter correctly
__setup based kernel command line parameters handlers which are handled in
obsolete_checksetup are provided with the parameter value including =
(more precisely everything right after the parameter name).

This means that the current implementation of swapaccount[=1|0] doesn't
work at all because if there is a value for the parameter then we are
testing for "0" resp.  "1" but we are getting "=0" resp.  "=1" and if
there is no parameter value we are getting an empty string rather than
NULL.

The original noswapccount parameter, which doesn't care about the value,
works correctly.

52dbb90509 memcg: fix race at move_parent around compound_order()
A fix up mem_cgroup_move_parent() which use compound_order() in
asynchronous manner.  This compound_order() may return unknown value
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
 without splitting.

8dba474f03 mm/memcontrol.c: fix uninitialized variable use in mem_cgroup_move_parent()

where we'll

  	if (charge > PAGE_SIZE)
  		compound_unlock_irqrestore(page, flags);

but, we have not assigned anything to 'flags' at this point, nor have we
called 'compound_lock_irqsave()' (which is what sets 'flags').  The
'put_back' label should be moved below the call to
compound_unlock_irqrestore() as per this patch.

at charge:
  - PageCgroupUsed bit is set to all page_cgroup on a hugepage.
    ....set to 512 pages.
at uncharge
  - PageCgroupUsed bit is unset on the head page.

So, some pages will remain with "Used" bit.

This patch fixes that Used bit is set only to the head page.
Used bits for tail pages will be set at splitting if necessary.

This patch adds this lock order:
   compound_lock() -> page_cgroup_move_lock().

50de1dd967 memcg: fix memory migration of shmem swapcache
In the current implementation mem_cgroup_end_migration() decides whether
the page migration has succeeded or not by checking "oldpage->mapping".

But if we are tring to migrate a shmem swapcache, the page->mapping of it
is NULL from the begining, so the check would be invalid.  As a result,
mem_cgroup_end_migration() assumes the migration has succeeded even if
it's not, so "newpage" would be freed while it's not uncharged.

This patch fixes it by passing mem_cgroup_end_migration() the result of
the page migration.

dfe076b097 memcg: fix deadlock between cpuset and memcg
Commit b1dd693e ("memcg: avoid deadlock between move charge and
try_charge()") can cause another deadlock about mmap_sem on task migration
if cpuset and memcg are mounted onto the same mount point.

After the commit, cgroup_attach_task() has sequence like:

cgroup_attach_task()
  ss->can_attach()
    cpuset_can_attach()
    mem_cgroup_can_attach()
      down_read(&mmap_sem)        (1)
  ss->attach()
    cpuset_attach()
      mpol_rebind_mm()
        down_write(&mmap_sem)     (2)
        up_write(&mmap_sem)
      cpuset_migrate_mm()
        do_migrate_pages()
          down_read(&mmap_sem)
          up_read(&mmap_sem)
    mem_cgroup_move_task()
      mem_cgroup_clear_mc()
        up_read(&mmap_sem)

We can cause deadlock at (2) because we've already aquire the mmap_sem at (1).

But the commit itself is necessary to fix deadlocks which have existed
before the commit like:

Ex.1)
                move charge             |        try charge

      mem_cgroup_precharge_mc()         |  __mem_cgroup_try_charge()
        mem_cgroup_count_precharge()    |    prepare_to_wait()
          down_read(&mmap_sem)          |    if (mc.moving_task)
          -> cannot aquire the lock     |    -> true
                                        |      schedule()
                                        |      -> move charge should wake it up

This patch fixes all of these problems by:
1. revert the commit.
2. To fix the Ex.1, we set mc.moving_task after mem_cgroup_count_precharge()
   has released the mmap_sem.
3. To fix the Ex.2, we use down_read_trylock() instead of down_read() in
   mem_cgroup_move_charge() and, if it has failed to aquire the lock, cancel
   all extra charges, wake up all waiters, and retry trylock.

f3e8eb70b1 memcg: fix unit mismatch in memcg oom limit calculation
Adding the number of swap pages to the byte limit of a memory control
group makes no sense.  Convert the pages to bytes before adding them.

The only user of this code is the OOM killer, and the way it is used means
that the error results in a higher OOM badness value.  Since the cgroup
limit is the same for all tasks in the cgroup, the error should have no
practical impact at the moment.

But let's not wait for future or changing users to trip over it.

dbd4ea78f0 memcg: add lock to synchronize page accounting and migration
Introduce a new bit spin lock, PCG_MOVE_LOCK, to synchronize the page
accounting and migration code.  This reworks the locking scheme of
_update_stat() and _move_account() by adding new lock bit PCG_MOVE_LOCK,
which is always taken under IRQ disable.

1. If pages are being migrated from a memcg, then updates to that
   memcg page statistics are protected by grabbing PCG_MOVE_LOCK using
   move_lock_page_cgroup().  In an upcoming commit, memcg dirty page
   accounting will be updating memcg page accounting (specifically: num
   writeback pages) from IRQ context (softirq).  Avoid a deadlocking
   nested spin lock attempt by disabling irq on the local processor when
   grabbing the PCG_MOVE_LOCK.

2. lock for update_page_stat is used only for avoiding race with
   move_account().  So, IRQ awareness of lock_page_cgroup() itself is not
   a problem.  The problem is between mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() and
   mem_cgroup_move_account_page().

Trade-off:
  * Changing lock_page_cgroup() to always disable IRQ (or
    local_bh) has some impacts on performance and I think
    it's bad to disable IRQ when it's not necessary.
  * adding a new lock makes move_account() slower.  Score is
    here.

Performance Impact: moving a 8G anon process.

Before:
	real    0m0.792s
	user    0m0.000s
	sys     0m0.780s

After:
	real    0m0.854s
	user    0m0.000s
	sys     0m0.842s

This score is bad but planned patches for optimization can reduce
this impact.

* mem_cgroup_inc_page_stat()
* mem_cgroup_dec_page_stat()

As before, only the file_mapped statistic is managed.  However, these more
general interfaces allow for new statistics to be more easily added.  New
statistics are added with memcg dirty page accounting.

page but also all the tail pages are committed, IOW pc->mem_cgroup and
pc->flags of tail pages are set.

Without this patch:

- Tail pages are not linked to any memcg's LRU at splitting. This causes many
  problems, for example, the charged memcg's directory can never be rmdir'ed
  because it doesn't have enough pages to scan to make the usage decrease to 0.
- "rss" field in memory.stat would be incorrect. Moreover, usage_in_bytes in
  root cgroup is calculated by the stat not by res_counter(since 2.6.32),
  it would be incorrect too.

ebb76ce16d memcg: fix wrong VM_BUG_ON() in try_charge()'s mm->owner check
At __mem_cgroup_try_charge(), VM_BUG_ON(!mm->owner) is checked.
But as commented in mem_cgroup_from_task(), mm->owner can be NULL
in some racy case. This check of VM_BUG_ON() is bad.

A possible story to hit this is at swapoff()->try_to_unuse(). It passes
mm_struct to mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() while mm->owner is NULL. If we
can't get proper mem_cgroup from swap_cgroup information, mm->owner is used
as charge target and we see NULL.

a42c390cfa cgroups: make swap accounting default behavior configurable
Swap accounting can be configured by CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP
configuration option and then it is turned on by default.  There is a boot
option (noswapaccount) which can disable this feature.

This makes it hard for distributors to enable the configuration option as
this feature leads to a bigger memory consumption and this is a no-go for
general purpose distribution kernel.  On the other hand swap accounting
may be very usuful for some workloads.

This patch adds a new configuration option which controls the default
behavior (CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED).  If the option is selected
then the feature is turned on by default.

It also adds a new boot parameter swapaccount[=1|0] which enhances the
original noswapaccount parameter semantic by means of enable/disable logic
(defaults to 1 if no value is provided to be still consistent with
noswapaccount).

The default behavior is unchanged (if CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP is
enabled then CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED is enabled as well)

b1dd693e5b memcg: avoid deadlock between move charge and try_charge()
__mem_cgroup_try_charge() can be called under down_write(&mmap_sem)(e.g.
mlock does it). This means it can cause deadlock if it races with move charge:

Ex.1)
                move charge             |        try charge
  --------------------------------------+------------------------------
    mem_cgroup_can_attach()             |  down_write(&mmap_sem)
      mc.moving_task = current          |    ..
      mem_cgroup_precharge_mc()         |  __mem_cgroup_try_charge()
        mem_cgroup_count_precharge()    |    prepare_to_wait()
          down_read(&mmap_sem)          |    if (mc.moving_task)
          -> cannot aquire the lock     |    -> true
                                        |      schedule()

Ex.2)
                move charge             |        try charge
  --------------------------------------+------------------------------
    mem_cgroup_can_attach()             |
      mc.moving_task = current          |
      mem_cgroup_precharge_mc()         |
        mem_cgroup_count_precharge()    |
          down_read(&mmap_sem)          |
          ..                            |
          up_read(&mmap_sem)            |
                                        |  down_write(&mmap_sem)
    mem_cgroup_move_task()              |    ..
      mem_cgroup_move_charge()          |  __mem_cgroup_try_charge()
        down_read(&mmap_sem)            |    prepare_to_wait()
        -> cannot aquire the lock       |    if (mc.moving_task)
                                        |    -> true
                                        |      schedule()

To avoid this deadlock, we do all the move charge works (both can_attach() and
attach()) under one mmap_sem section.
And after this patch, we set/clear mc.moving_task outside mc.lock, because we
use the lock only to check mc.from/to.

lock_page_cgroup and unlock_page_cgroup are implemented using
bit_spinlock.  bit_spinlock doesn't touch the bit if we are on non-SMP
machine, so we can't use the bit to check whether the lock was taken.

Let's introduce is_page_cgroup_locked based on bit_spin_is_locked instead
of PageCgroupLocked to fix it.

This patch extracts the core logic from mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped() as
mem_cgroup_update_file_stat() and adds a wrapper.

As a planned future update, memory cgroup has to count dirty pages to
implement dirty_ratio/limit.  And more, the number of dirty pages is
required to kick flusher thread to start writeback.  (Now, no kick.)

This patch is preparation for it and makes other statistics implementation
clearer.  Just a clean up.

7d74b06f24 memcg: use for_each_mem_cgroup
In memory cgroup management, we sometimes have to walk through
subhierarchy of cgroup to gather informaiton, or lock something, etc.

Now, to do that, mem_cgroup_walk_tree() function is provided.  It calls
given callback function per cgroup found.  But the bad thing is that it
has to pass a fixed style function and argument, "void*" and it adds much
type casting to memcontrol.c.

To make the code clean, this patch replaces walk_tree() with

  for_each_mem_cgroup_tree(iter, root)

An iterator style call.  The good point is that iterator call doesn't have
to assume what kind of function is called under it.  A bad point is that
it may cause reference-count leak if a caller use "break" from the loop by
mistake.

I think the benefit is larger.  The modified code seems straigtforward and
easy to read because we don't have misterious callbacks and pointer cast.

32047e2a85 memcg: avoid lock in updating file_mapped (Was fix race in file_mapped accouting flag management
At accounting file events per memory cgroup, we need to find memory cgroup
via page_cgroup->mem_cgroup.  Now, we use lock_page_cgroup() for guarantee
pc->mem_cgroup is not overwritten while we make use of it.

But, considering the context which page-cgroup for files are accessed,
we can use alternative light-weight mutual execusion in the most case.

At handling file-caches, the only race we have to take care of is "moving"
account, IOW, overwriting page_cgroup->mem_cgroup.  (See comment in the
patch)

Unlike charge/uncharge, "move" happens not so frequently. It happens only when
rmdir() and task-moving (with a special settings.)
This patch adds a race-checker for file-cache-status accounting v.s. account
moving. The new per-cpu-per-memcg counter MEM_CGROUP_ON_MOVE is added.
The routine for account move
  1. Increment it before start moving
  2. Call synchronize_rcu()
  3. Decrement it after the end of moving.
By this, file-status-counting routine can check it needs to call
lock_page_cgroup(). In most case, I doesn't need to call it.

Following is a perf data of a process which mmap()/munmap 32MB of file cache
in a minute.

Before patch:
    28.25%     mmap  mmap               [.] main
    22.64%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] page_fault
     9.96%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped
     3.67%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] filemap_fault
     3.50%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] unmap_vmas
     2.99%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __do_fault
     2.76%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] find_get_page

After patch:
    30.00%     mmap  mmap               [.] main
    23.78%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] page_fault
     5.52%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped
     3.81%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] unmap_vmas
     3.26%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] find_get_page
     3.18%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __do_fault
     3.03%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] filemap_fault
     2.40%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] handle_mm_fault
     2.40%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] do_page_fault

This patch reduces memcg's cost to some extent.
(mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped is called by both of map/unmap)

Note: It seems some more improvements are required..but no idea.
      maybe removing set/unset flag is required.

0c270f8f99 memcg: fix race in file_mapped accouting flag management
Presently memory cgroup accounts file-mapped by counter and flag.  counter
is working in the same way with zone_stat but FileMapped flag only exists
in memcg (for helping move_account).

This flag can be updated wrongly in a case.  Assume CPU0 and CPU1 and a
thread mapping a page on CPU0, another thread unmapping it on CPU1.

    CPU0                   		CPU1
				rmv rmap (mapcount 1->0)
   add rmap (mapcount 0->1)
   lock_page_cgroup()
   memcg counter+1		(some delay)
   set MAPPED FLAG.
   unlock_page_cgroup()
				lock_page_cgroup()
				memcg counter-1
				clear MAPPED flag

In the above sequence counter is properly updated but FLAG is not.  This
means that representing a state by a flag which is maintained by counter
needs some special care.

To handle this, when clearing a flag, this patch check mapcount directly
and clear the flag only when mapcount == 0.  (if mapcount >0, someone will
make it to zero later and flag will be cleared.)

Reverse case, dec-after-inc cannot be a problem because page_table_lock()
works well for it.  (IOW, to make above sequence, 2 processes should touch
the same page at once with map/unmap.)

f75ca96203 memcg: avoid css_get()
Now, memory cgroup increments css(cgroup subsys state)'s reference count
per a charged page.  And the reference count is kept until the page is
uncharged.  But this has 2 bad effect.

 1. Because css_get/put calls atomic_inc()/dec, heavy call of them
    on large smp will not scale well.
 2. Because css's refcnt cannot be in a state as "ready-to-release",
    cgroup's notify_on_release handler can't work with memcg.
 3. css's refcnt is atomic_t, it means smaller than 32bit. Maybe too small.

This has been a problem since the 1st merge of memcg.

This is a trial to remove css's refcnt per a page. Even if we remove
refcnt, pre_destroy() does enough synchronization as
  - check res->usage == 0.
  - check no pages on LRU.

This patch removes css's refcnt per page.  Even after this patch, at the
1st look, it seems css_get() is still called in try_charge().

But the logic is.

  - If a memcg of mm->owner is cached one, consume_stock() will work.
    At success, return immediately.
  - If consume_stock returns false, css_get() is called and go to
    slow path which may be blocked. At the end of slow path,
    css_put() is called and restart from the start if necessary.

So, in the fast path, we don't call css_get() and can avoid access to
shared counter. This patch can make the most possible case fast.

Here is a result of multi-threaded page fault benchmark.

[Before]

    28.41%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] clear_page_c
    10.08%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq

Then, 8.02% of try_get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() disappears because this patch
removes css_tryget() in it. (But yes, this is an extreme case.)

158e0a2d1b memcg: use find_lock_task_mm() in memory cgroups oom
When the OOM killer scans task, it check a task is under memcg or
not when it's called via memcg's context.

But, as Oleg pointed out, a thread group leader may have NULL ->mm
and task_in_mem_cgroup() may do wrong decision. We have to use
find_lock_task_mm() in memcg as generic OOM-Killer does.
