This patch introduces mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb which combines the logic
of mem_cgroup_hugetlb_try_charge / mem_cgroup_hugetlb_commit_charge and
removes the need for mem_cgroup_hugetlb_cancel_charge. It also reduces
the footprint of memcg in hugetlb code and consolidates all memcg related
error paths into one.

We are starting to deploy mmap_lock tracepoint monitoring across our
fleet and the early results showed that these tracepoints are consuming
significant amount of CPUs in kernfs_path_from_node when enabled.
It seems like the kernel is trying to resolve the cgroup path in the
fast path of the locking code path when the tracepoints are enabled. In
addition for some application their metrics are regressing when
monitoring is enabled.
The cgroup path resolution can be slow and should not be done in the
fast path. Most userspace tools, like bpftrace, provides functionality
to get the cgroup path from cgroup id, so let's just trace the cgroup
id and the users can use better tools to get the path in the slow path.

Patch series "mm: zswap swap-out of large folios", v10.
This patch series enables zswap_store() to accept and store large folios.
The most significant contribution in this series is from the earlier RFC
submitted by Ryan Roberts [1]. Ryan's original RFC has been migrated to
mm-unstable as of 9-30-2024 in patch 6 of this series, and adapted based
on code review comments received for the current patch-series.
[1]: [RFC PATCH v1] mm: zswap: Store large folios without splitting
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20231019110543.3284654-1-ryan.roberts@arm.com/T/#u
The first few patches do the prep work for supporting large folios in
zswap_store. Patch 6 provides the main functionality to swap-out large
folios in zswap. Patch 7 adds sysfs per-order hugepages "zswpout"
counters that get incremented upon successful zswap_store of large folios,
and also updates the documentation for this:
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-*kB/stats/zswpout
This patch series is a prerequisite for zswap compress batching of large
folio swap-out and decompress batching of swap-ins based on
swapin_readahead(), using Intel IAA hardware acceleration, which we would
like to submit in subsequent patch-series, with performance improvement
data.
Thanks to Ying Huang for pre-posting review feedback and suggestions!
Thanks also to Nhat, Yosry, Johannes, Barry, Chengming, Usama, Ying and
Matthew for their helpful feedback, code/data reviews and suggestions!
Co-development signoff request:
===============================
I would like to thank Ryan Roberts for his original RFC [1] and request
his co-developer signoff on patch 6 in this series. Thanks Ryan!
System setup for testing:
=========================
Testing of this patch series was done with mm-unstable as of 9-27-2024,
commit de2fbaa6d9c3576ec7133ed02a370ec9376bf000 (without this patch-series)
and mm-unstable 9-30-2024 commit c121617e3606be6575cdacfdb63cc8d67b46a568
(with this patch-series). Data was gathered on an Intel Sapphire Rapids
server, dual-socket 56 cores per socket, 4 IAA devices per socket, 503 GiB
RAM and 525G SSD disk partition swap. Core frequency was fixed at 2500MHz.
The vm-scalability "usemem" test was run in a cgroup whose memory.high
was fixed at 150G. The is no swap limit set for the cgroup. 30 usemem
processes were run, each allocating and writing 10G of memory, and sleeping
for 10 sec before exiting:
usemem --init-time -w -O -s 10 -n 30 10g
Other kernel configuration parameters:
zswap compressors : zstd, deflate-iaa
zswap allocator : zsmalloc
vm.page-cluster : 2
In the experiments where "deflate-iaa" is used as the zswap compressor,
IAA "compression verification" is enabled by default
(cat /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/verify_compress). Hence each IAA
compression will be decompressed internally by the "iaa_crypto" driver, the
crc-s returned by the hardware will be compared and errors reported in case
of mismatches. Thus "deflate-iaa" helps ensure better data integrity as
compared to the software compressors, and the experimental data listed
below is with verify_compress set to "1".
Metrics reporting methodology:
==============================
Total and average throughput are derived from the individual 30 processes'
throughputs reported by usemem. elapsed/sys times are measured with perf.
All percentage changes are "new" vs. "old"; hence a positive value
denotes an increase in the metric, whether it is throughput or latency,
and a negative value denotes a reduction in the metric. Positive throughput
change percentages and negative latency change percentages denote improvements.
The vm stats and sysfs hugepages stats included with the performance data
provide details on the swapout activity to zswap/swap device.
Testing labels used in data summaries:
======================================
The data refers to these test configurations and the before/after
comparisons that they do:
before-case1:
-------------
mm-unstable 9-27-2024, CONFIG_THP_SWAP=N (compares zswap 4K vs. zswap 64K)
In this scenario, CONFIG_THP_SWAP=N results in 64K/2M folios to be split
into 4K folios that get processed by zswap.
before-case2:
-------------
mm-unstable 9-27-2024, CONFIG_THP_SWAP=Y (compares SSD swap large folios vs. zswap large folios)
In this scenario, CONFIG_THP_SWAP=Y results in zswap rejecting large
folios, which will then be stored by the SSD swap device.
after:
------
v10 of this patch-series, CONFIG_THP_SWAP=Y
The "after" is CONFIG_THP_SWAP=Y and v10 of this patch-series, that results
in 64K/2M folios to not be split, and to be processed by zswap_store.
Regression Testing:
===================
I ran vm-scalability usemem without large folios, i.e., only 4K folios with
mm-unstable and this patch-series. The main goal was to make sure that
there is no functional or performance regression wrt the earlier zswap
behavior for 4K folios, now that 4K folios will be processed by the new
zswap_store() code.
The data indicates there is no significant regression.

---------------------------------------------
Conclusions based on the performance results:
=============================================
v10 wrt before-case1:
---------------------
We see significant improvements in throughput, elapsed and sys time for
zstd and deflate-iaa, when comparing before-case1 (THP_SWAP=N) vs. after
(THP_SWAP=Y) with zswap_store large folios.
v10 wrt before-case2:
---------------------
We see even more significant improvements in throughput and elapsed time
for zstd and deflate-iaa, when comparing before-case2 (large-folio-SSD)
vs. after (large-folio-zswap). The sys time increases with
large-folio-zswap as expected, due to the CPU compression time
vs. asynchronous disk write times, as pointed out by Ying and Yosry.
In before-case2, when zswap does not store large folios, only allocations
and cgroup charging due to 4K folio zswap stores count towards the cgroup
memory limit. However, in the after scenario, with the introduction of
zswap_store() of large folios, there is an added component of the zswap
compressed pool usage from large folio stores from potentially all 30
processes, that gets counted towards the memory limit. As a result, we see
higher swapout activity in the "after" data.
Summary:
========
The v10 data presented above shows that zswap_store of large folios
demonstrates good throughput/performance improvements compared to
conventional SSD swap of large folios with a sufficiently large 525G SSD
swap device. Hence, it seems reasonable for zswap_store to support large
folios, so that further performance improvements can be implemented.
In the experimental setup used in this patchset, we have enabled IAA
compress verification to ensure additional hardware data integrity CRC
checks not currently done by the software compressors. We see good
throughput/latency improvements with deflate-iaa vs. zstd with zswap_store
of large folios.
Some of the ideas for further reducing latency that have shown promise in
our experiments, are:
1) IAA compress/decompress batching.
2) Distributing compress jobs across all IAA devices on the socket.
The tests run for this patchset are using only 1 IAA device per core, that
avails of 2 compress engines on the device. In our experiments with IAA
batching, we distribute compress jobs from all cores to the 8 compress
engines available per socket. We further compress the pages in each folio
in parallel in the accelerator. As a result, we improve compress latency
and reclaim throughput.
In decompress batching, we use swapin_readahead to generate a prefetch
batch of 4K folios that we decompress in parallel in IAA.

With zswap IAA compress/decompress batching, we are able to demonstrate
significant performance improvements and memory savings in server
scalability experiments in highly contended system scenarios under
significant memory pressure; as compared to software compressors. We hope
to submit this work in subsequent patch series. The current patch-series is
a prequisite for these future submissions.

This patch (of 6):
This resolves an issue with obj_cgroup_get() not being defined if
CONFIG_MEMCG is not defined.
Before this patch, we would see build errors if obj_cgroup_get() is called
from code that is agnostic of CONFIG_MEMCG.
The zswap_store() changes for large folios in subsequent commits will
require the use of obj_cgroup_get() in zswap code that falls into this
category.

When the proportion of folios from the zeromap is small, missing their
accounting may not significantly impact profiling. However, it's easy to
construct a scenario where this becomes an issue—for example, allocating
1 GB of memory, writing zeros from userspace, followed by MADV_PAGEOUT,
and then swapping it back in. In this case, the swap-out and swap-in
counts seem to vanish into a black hole, potentially causing semantic
ambiguity.
On the other hand, Usama reported that zero-filled pages can exceed 10% in
workloads utilizing zswap, while Hailong noted that some app in Android
have more than 6% zero-filled pages. Before commit 0ca0c24e3211 ("mm:
store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap"), both zswap and zRAM
implemented similar optimizations, leading to these optimized-out pages
being counted in either zswap or zRAM counters (with pswpin/pswpout also
increasing for zRAM). With zeromap functioning prior to both zswap and
zRAM, userspace will no longer detect these swap-out and swap-in actions.
We have three ways to address this:
1. Introduce a dedicated counter specifically for the zeromap.
2. Use pswpin/pswpout accounting, treating the zero map as a standard
backend. This approach aligns with zRAM's current handling of
same-page fills at the device level. However, it would mean losing the
optimized-out page counters previously available in zRAM and would not
align with systems using zswap. Additionally, as noted by Nhat Pham,
pswpin/pswpout counters apply only to I/O done directly to the backend
device.
3. Count zeromap pages under zswap, aligning with system behavior when
zswap is enabled. However, this would not be consistent with zRAM, nor
would it align with systems lacking both zswap and zRAM.
Given the complications with options 2 and 3, this patch selects
option 1.
We can find these counters from /proc/vmstat (counters for the whole
system) and memcg's memory.stat (counters for the interested memcg).
For example:
$ grep -E 'swpin_zero|swpout_zero' /proc/vmstat
swpin_zero 1648
swpout_zero 33536
$ grep -E 'swpin_zero|swpout_zero' /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/memory.stat
swpin_zero 3905
swpout_zero 3985
This patch does not address any specific zeromap bug, but the missing
swpout and swpin counts for zero-filled pages can be highly confusing and
may mislead user-space agents that rely on changes in these counters as
indicators. Therefore, we add a Fixes tag to encourage the inclusion of
this counter in any kernel versions with zeromap.
Many thanks to Kanchana for the contribution of changing
count_objcg_event() to count_objcg_events() to support large folios[1],
which has now been incorporated into this patch.

The function workingset_activation() is called from folio_mark_accessed()
with the guarantee that the given folio can not be freed under us in
workingset_activation(). In addition, the association of the folio and
its memcg can not be broken here because charge migration is no more.
There is no need to use folio_memcg_rcu. Simply use folio_memcg_charged()
because that is what this function cares about.

Currently, if multiple reclaimers raced on the same position, the
reclaimers which detect the race will still reclaim from the same memcg.
Instead, the reclaimers which detect the race should move on to the next
memcg in the hierarchy.
So, in the case where multiple traversals race, jump back to the start of
the mem_cgroup_iter() function to find the next memcg in the hierarchy to
reclaim from.

The ability to observe the demotion and promotion decisions made by the
kernel on a per-cgroup basis is important for monitoring and tuning
containerized workloads on machines equipped with tiered memory.
Different containers in the system may experience drastically different
memory tiering actions that cannot be distinguished from the global
counters alone.
For example, a container running a workload that has a much hotter memory
accesses will likely see more promotions and fewer demotions, potentially
depriving a colocated container of top tier memory to such an extent that
its performance degrades unacceptably.
For another example, some containers may exhibit longer periods between
data reuse, causing much more numa_hint_faults than numa_pages_migrated.
In this case, tuning hot_threshold_ms may be appropriate, but the signal
can easily be lost if only global counters are available.
In the long term, we hope to introduce per-cgroup control of promotion and
demotion actions to implement memory placement policies in tiering.
This patch set adds seven counters to memory.stat in a cgroup:
numa_pages_migrated, numa_pte_updates, numa_hint_faults, pgdemote_kswapd,
pgdemote_khugepaged, pgdemote_direct and pgpromote_success. pgdemote_*
and pgpromote_success are also available in memory.numa_stat.
count_memcg_events_mm() is added to count multiple event occurrences at
once, and get_mem_cgroup_from_folio() is added because we need to get a
reference to the memcg of a folio before it's migrated to track
numa_pages_migrated. The accounting of PGDEMOTE_* is moved to
shrink_inactive_list() before being changed to per-cgroup.

Patch series "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2".
Some of the v1 code is still in v2 code base due to v1 fields in the
struct memcg_vmstats_percpu. This field decouples those fileds from v2
struct and move all the related code into v1 only code base.
This patch (of 7):
At the moment struct memcg_vmstats_percpu contains two v1 only fields
which consumes memory even when CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 is not enabled. In
addition there are v1 only functions accessing them and are in the main
memcontrol source file and can not be moved to v1 only source file due to
these fields. Let's move these fields into their own struct. Later
patches will move the functions accessing them to v1 source file and only
allocate these fields when CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 is enabled.

obj_cgroup_memcg() is supposed to safe to prevent the returned memory
cgroup from being freed only when the caller is holding the rcu read lock
or objcg_lock or cgroup_mutex. It is very easy to ignore thoes conditions
when users call some upper APIs which call obj_cgroup_memcg() internally
like mem_cgroup_from_slab_obj() (See the link below). So it is better to
add lockdep assertion to obj_cgroup_memcg() to find those issues ASAP.
Because there is no user of obj_cgroup_memcg() holding objcg_lock to make
the returned memory cgroup safe, do not add objcg_lock assertion (We
should export objcg_lock if we really want to do). Additionally, this is
some internal implementation detail of memcg and should not be accessible
outside memcg code.
Some users like __mem_cgroup_uncharge() do not care the lifetime of the
returned memory cgroup, which just want to know if the folio is charged to
a memory cgroup, therefore, they do not need to hold the needed locks. In
which case, introduce a new helper folio_memcg_charged() to do this.
Compare it to folio_memcg(), it could eliminate a memory access of
objcg->memcg for kmem, actually, a really small gain.

Patch series "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers", v7.
This patch (of 2):
Other mechanisms for querying the peak memory usage of either a process or
v1 memory cgroup allow for resetting the high watermark. Restore parity
with those mechanisms, but with a less racy API.
For example:
- Any write to memory.max_usage_in_bytes in a cgroup v1 mount resets
the high watermark.
- writing "5" to the clear_refs pseudo-file in a processes's proc
directory resets the peak RSS.
This change is an evolution of a previous patch, which mostly copied the
cgroup v1 behavior, however, there were concerns about races/ownership
issues with a global reset, so instead this change makes the reset
filedescriptor-local.
Writing any non-empty string to the memory.peak and memory.swap.peak
pseudo-files reset the high watermark to the current usage for subsequent
reads through that same FD.
Notably, following Johannes's suggestion, this implementation moves the
O(FDs that have written) behavior onto the FD write(2) path. Instead, on
the page-allocation path, we simply add one additional watermark to
conditionally bump per-hierarchy level in the page-counter.
Additionally, this takes Longman's suggestion of nesting the
page-charging-path checks for the two watermarks to reduce the number of
common-case comparisons.
This behavior is particularly useful for work scheduling systems that need
to track memory usage of worker processes/cgroups per-work-item. Since
memory can't be squeezed like CPU can (the OOM-killer has opinions), these
systems need to track the peak memory usage to compute system/container
fullness when binpacking workitems.
Most notably, Vimeo's use-case involves a system that's doing global
binpacking across many Kubernetes pods/containers, and while we can use
PSI for some local decisions about overload, we strive to avoid packing
workloads too tightly in the first place. To facilitate this, we track
the peak memory usage. However, since we run with long-lived workers (to
amortize startup costs) we need a way to track the high watermark while a
work-item is executing. Polling runs the risk of missing short spikes
that last for timescales below the polling interval, and peak memory
tracking at the cgroup level is otherwise perfect for this use-case.
As this data is used to ensure that binpacked work ends up with sufficient
headroom, this use-case mostly avoids the inaccuracies surrounding
reclaimable memory.

Oliver Sand reported a performance regression caused by commit
98c9daf5ae6b ("mm: memcg: guard memcg1-specific members of struct
mem_cgroup_per_node"), which puts some fields of the mem_cgroup_per_node
structure under the CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 config option. Apparently it causes a
false cache sharing between lruvec and lru_zone_size members of the
structure. Fix it by adding an explicit padding after the lruvec member.
Even though the padding is not required with CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 set, it seems
like the introduced memory overhead is not significant enough to warrant
another divergence in the mem_cgroup_per_node layout, so the padding is
added unconditionally.

CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM used to be a user-visible option for whether slab
tracking is enabled. It has been default-enabled and equivalent to
CONFIG_MEMCG for almost a decade. We've only grown more kernel memory
accounting sites since, and there is no imaginable cgroup usecase going
forward that wants to track user pages but not the multitude of
user-drivable kernel allocations.

This commit introduces three new functions: memcg1_tcpmem_active(),
memcg1_charge_skmem() and memcg1_uncharge_skmem(), which contain all
cgroup v1-specific code and become trivial if CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 isn't set.
Note, that !!memcg->tcpmem_pressure check in
mem_cgroup_under_socket_pressure() can't be easily moved into
memcontrol-v1.h without including memcontrol-v1.h from memcontrol.h which
isn't a good idea, so it's better to just #ifdef it.

Put legacy cgroup v1 memory controller code under a new CONFIG_MEMCG_V1
config option. The option is turned off by default. Nobody except those
who are still using cgroup v1 should turn it on.
If the option is not set, memory controller can still be mounted under
cgroup v1, but none of memcg-specific control files are present.
Please note, that not all cgroup v1's memory controller code is guarded
yet (but most of it), it's a subject for some follow-up work.

Please, note, that mem_cgroup_event_ratelimit() remains in memcontrol.c,
otherwise it would require exporting too many details on memcg stats
outside of memcontrol.c.

Kernel test robot reported [1] performance regression for will-it-scale
test suite's page_fault2 test case for the commit 70a64b7919cb ("memcg:
dynamically allocate lruvec_stats"). After inspection it seems like the
commit has unintentionally introduced false cache sharing.
After the commit the fields of mem_cgroup_per_node which get read on the
performance critical path share the cacheline with the fields which get
updated often on LRU page allocations or deallocations. This has caused
contention on that cacheline and the workloads which manipulates a lot of
LRU pages are regressed as reported by the test report.
The solution is to rearrange the fields of mem_cgroup_per_node such that
the false sharing is eliminated. Let's move all the read only pointers at
the start of the struct, followed by memcg-v1 only fields and at the end
fields which get updated often.
Experiment setup: Ran fallocate1, fallocate2, page_fault1, page_fault2 and
page_fault3 from the will-it-scale test suite inside a three level memcg
with /tmp mounted as tmpfs on two different machines, one a single numa
node and the other one, two node machine.
$ ./[testcase]_processes -t $NR_CPUS -s 50
Results for single node, 52 CPU machine:
Testcase base with-patch
fallocate1 1031081 1431291 (38.80 %)
fallocate2 1029993 1421421 (38.00 %)
page_fault1 2269440 3405788 (50.07 %)
page_fault2 2375799 3572868 (50.30 %)
page_fault3 28641143 28673950 ( 0.11 %)
Results for dual node, 80 CPU machine:
Testcase base with-patch
fallocate1 2976288 3641185 (22.33 %)
fallocate2 2979366 3638181 (22.11 %)

The memcg stats update functions can take arbitrary integer but the only
input which make sense is enum memcg_stat_item and we don't want these
functions to be called with arbitrary integer, so replace the parameter
type with enum memcg_stat_item and compiler will be able to warn if memcg
stat update functions are called with incorrect index value.

To decouple the dependency of lruvec_stats on NR_VM_NODE_STAT_ITEMS, we
need to dynamically allocate lruvec_stats in the mem_cgroup_per_node

lruvec_stats and related functions to the memcontrol.c to facilitate later
patches. No functional changes in the patch.

mod_memcg_lruvec_state() is never called from outside of memcontrol.c and
with always irq disabled. So, replace it with the irq disabled version
and add an assert that irq is disabled in the caller.
Similarly mod_objcg_state() is not called from outside of memcontrol.c, so
simply make it static and change it's name to __mod_objcg_state().

If slabobj_ext vector allocation for a slab object fails and later on it
succeeds for another object in the same slab, the slabobj_ext for the
original object will be NULL and will be flagged in case when
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is enabled.
Mark failed slabobj_ext vector allocations using a new objext_flags flag
stored in the lower bits of slab->obj_exts. When new allocation succeeds
it marks all tag references in the same slabobj_ext vector as empty to
avoid warnings implemented by CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG checks.

Move the NULL check in the function, similar to mem_cgroup_put(). The
unlikely() NULL check in current_objcg_update() was left alone to avoid

During our experiment with zswap, we sometimes observe swap IOs due to
occasional zswap store failures and writebacks-to-swap. These swapping
IOs prevent many users who cannot tolerate swapping from adopting zswap to
save memory and improve performance where possible.
This patch adds the option to disable this behavior entirely: do not
writeback to backing swapping device when a zswap store attempt fail, and
do not write pages in the zswap pool back to the backing swap device (both
when the pool is full, and when the new zswap shrinker is called).
This new behavior can be opted-in/out on a per-cgroup basis via a new
cgroup file. By default, writebacks to swap device is enabled, which is
the previous behavior. Initially, writeback is enabled for the root
cgroup, and a newly created cgroup will inherit the current setting of its
parent.
Note that this is subtly different from setting memory.swap.max to 0, as
it still allows for pages to be stored in the zswap pool (which itself
consumes swap space in its current form).
This patch should be applied on top of the zswap shrinker series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20231130194023.4102148-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/
as it also disables the zswap shrinker, a major source of zswap
writebacks.
For the most part, this feature is motivated by internal parties who
have already established their opinions regarding swapping - the
workloads that are highly sensitive to IO, and especially those who are
using servers with really slow disk performance (for instance, massive
but slow HDDs). For these folks, it's impossible to convince them to
even entertain zswap if swapping also comes as a packaged deal.
Writeback disabling is quite a useful feature in these situations - on
a mixed workloads deployment, they can disable writeback for the more
IO-sensitive workloads, and enable writeback for other background
workloads.
For instance, on a server with HDD, I allocate memories and populate
them with random values (so that zswap store will always fail), and
specify memory.high low enough to trigger reclaim. The time it takes
to allocate the memories and just read through it a couple of times
(doing silly things like computing the values' average etc.):
zswap.writeback disabled:
real 0m30.537s
user 0m23.687s
sys 0m6.637s
0 pages swapped in
0 pages swapped out
zswap.writeback enabled:
real 0m45.061s
user 0m24.310s
sys 0m8.892s
712686 pages swapped in
461093 pages swapped out
(the last two lines are from vmstat -s).

Stats flushing for memcg currently follows the following rules:
- Always flush the entire memcg hierarchy (i.e. flush the root).
- Only one flusher is allowed at a time. If someone else tries to flush
concurrently, they skip and return immediately.
- A periodic flusher flushes all the stats every 2 seconds.
The reason this approach is followed is because all flushes are serialized
by a global rstat spinlock. On the memcg side, flushing is invoked from
userspace reads as well as in-kernel flushers (e.g. reclaim, refault,
etc). This approach aims to avoid serializing all flushers on the global
lock, which can cause a significant performance hit under high
concurrency.
This approach has the following problems:
- Occasionally a userspace read of the stats of a non-root cgroup will
be too expensive as it has to flush the entire hierarchy [1].
- Sometimes the stats accuracy are compromised if there is an ongoing
flush, and we skip and return before the subtree of interest is
actually flushed, yielding stale stats (by up to 2s due to periodic
flushing). This is more visible when reading stats from userspace,
but can also affect in-kernel flushers.
The latter problem is particulary a concern when userspace reads stats
after an event occurs, but gets stats from before the event. Examples:
- When memory usage / pressure spikes, a userspace OOM handler may look
at the stats of different memcgs to select a victim based on various
heuristics (e.g. how much private memory will be freed by killing
this). Reading stale stats from before the usage spike in this case
may cause a wrongful OOM kill.
- A proactive reclaimer may read the stats after writing to
memory.reclaim to measure the success of the reclaim operation. Stale
stats from before reclaim may give a false negative.
- Reading the stats of a parent and a child memcg may be inconsistent
(child larger than parent), if the flush doesn't happen when the
parent is read, but happens when the child is read.
As for in-kernel flushers, they will occasionally get stale stats. No
regressions are currently known from this, but if there are regressions,
they would be very difficult to debug and link to the source of the
problem.
This patch aims to fix these problems by restoring subtree flushing, and
removing the unified/coalesced flushing logic that skips flushing if there
is an ongoing flush. This change would introduce a significant regression
with global stats flushing thresholds. With per-memcg stats flushing
thresholds, this seems to perform really well. The thresholds protect the
underlying lock from unnecessary contention.
This patch was tested in two ways to ensure the latency of flushing is
up to par, on a machine with 384 cpus:
- A synthetic test with 5000 concurrent workers in 500 cgroups doing
allocations and reclaim, as well as 1000 readers for memory.stat
(variation of [2]). No regressions were noticed in the total runtime.
Note that significant regressions in this test are observed with
global stats thresholds, but not with per-memcg thresholds.
- A synthetic stress test for concurrently reading memcg stats while
memory allocation/freeing workers are running in the background,
provided by Wei Xu [3]. With 250k threads reading the stats every
100ms in 50k cgroups, 99.9% of reads take <= 50us. Less than 0.01%
of reads take more than 1ms, and no reads take more than 100ms.

Currently, we only have a single global LRU for zswap. This makes it
impossible to perform worload-specific shrinking - an memcg cannot
determine which pages in the pool it owns, and often ends up writing pages
from other memcgs. This issue has been previously observed in practice
and mitigated by simply disabling memcg-initiated shrinking:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230530232435.3097106-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/T/#u
This patch fully resolves the issue by replacing the global zswap LRU
with memcg- and NUMA-specific LRUs, and modify the reclaim logic:
a) When a store attempt hits an memcg limit, it now triggers a
synchronous reclaim attempt that, if successful, allows the new
hotter page to be accepted by zswap.
b) If the store attempt instead hits the global zswap limit, it will
trigger an asynchronous reclaim attempt, in which an memcg is
selected for reclaim in a round-robin-like fashion.

This patch implements a helper function that try to get a reference to an
memcg's css, as well as checking if it is online. This new function is
almost exactly the same as the existing mem_cgroup_tryget(), except for
the onlineness check. In the !CONFIG_MEMCG case, it always returns true,
analogous to mem_cgroup_tryget(). This is useful for e.g to the new zswap
writeback scheme, where we need to select the next online memcg as a
candidate for the global limit reclaim.
