From 3ea67d06e4679a16f69f66f43a8d6ee4778985fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sha Zhengju Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:13:53 -0700 Subject: 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 Acked-by: Michal Hocko Reviewed-by: Greg Thelen Cc: Fengguang Wu Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Cc: Johannes Weiner Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- include/linux/memcontrol.h | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'include') diff --git a/include/linux/memcontrol.h b/include/linux/memcontrol.h index f952a07ce7a9..60e95872da29 100644 --- a/include/linux/memcontrol.h +++ b/include/linux/memcontrol.h @@ -42,6 +42,7 @@ enum mem_cgroup_stat_index { MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS, /* # of pages charged as anon rss */ MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS_HUGE, /* # of pages charged as anon huge */ MEM_CGROUP_STAT_FILE_MAPPED, /* # of pages charged as file rss */ + MEM_CGROUP_STAT_WRITEBACK, /* # of pages under writeback */ MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAP, /* # of pages, swapped out */ MEM_CGROUP_STAT_NSTATS, }; -- cgit
