memcg: add per cgroup writeback pages accounting
Add memcg routines to count writeback pages, later dirty pages will also be accounted. After Kame's commit 89c06bd52fb9 ("memcg: use new logic for page stat accounting"), we can use 'struct page' flag to test page state instead of per page_cgroup flag. But memcg has a feature to move a page from a cgroup to another one and may have race between "move" and "page stat accounting". So in order to avoid the race we have designed a new lock: mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() modify page information -->(a) mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() -->(b) mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat() It requires both (a) and (b)(writeback pages accounting) to be pretected in mem_cgroup_{begin/end}_update_page_stat(). It's full no-op for !CONFIG_MEMCG, almost no-op if memcg is disabled (but compiled in), rcu read lock in the most cases (no task is moving), and spin_lock_irqsave on top in the slow path. There're two writeback interfaces to modify: test_{clear/set}_page_writeback(). And the lock order is: --> memcg->move_lock --> mapping->tree_lock Signed-off-by: Sha Zhengju <handai.szj@taobao.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Reviewed-by: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
