Move out the legacy cgroup v1 socket memory accounting code into
mm/memcontrol-v1.c.
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.
Thanks to Michal Hocko for providing a better Kconfig option description.

Kernel test robot reported [1] performance regression for will-it-scale
test suite's page_fault2 test case for the commit 70a64b7919 ("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.

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, hugetlb memory usage is not acounted for in the memory
controller, which could lead to memory overprotection for cgroups with
hugetlb-backed memory. This has been observed in our production system.
For instance, here is one of our usecases: suppose there are two 32G
containers. The machine is booted with hugetlb_cma=6G, and each container
may or may not use up to 3 gigantic page, depending on the workload within
it. The rest is anon, cache, slab, etc. We can set the hugetlb cgroup
limit of each cgroup to 3G to enforce hugetlb fairness. But it is very
difficult to configure memory.max to keep overall consumption, including
anon, cache, slab etc. fair.
What we have had to resort to is to constantly poll hugetlb usage and
readjust memory.max. Similar procedure is done to other memory limits
(memory.low for e.g). However, this is rather cumbersome and buggy.
Furthermore, when there is a delay in memory limits correction, (for e.g
when hugetlb usage changes within consecutive runs of the userspace
agent), the system could be in an over/underprotected state.
This patch rectifies this issue by charging the memcg when the hugetlb
folio is utilized, and uncharging when the folio is freed (analogous to
the hugetlb controller). Note that we do not charge when the folio is
allocated to the hugetlb pool, because at this point it is not owned by
any memcg.
Some caveats to consider:
* This feature is only available on cgroup v2.
* There is no hugetlb pool management involved in the memory
controller. As stated above, hugetlb folios are only charged towards
the memory controller when it is used. Host overcommit management
has to consider it when configuring hard limits.
* Failure to charge towards the memcg results in SIGBUS. This could
happen even if the hugetlb pool still has pages (but the cgroup
limit is hit and reclaim attempt fails).
* When this feature is enabled, hugetlb pages contribute to memory
reclaim protection. low, min limits tuning must take into account
hugetlb memory.
* Hugetlb pages utilized while this option is not selected will not
be tracked by the memory controller (even if cgroup v2 is remounted
later on).

Patch series "hugetlb memcg accounting", v4.
Currently, hugetlb memory usage is not acounted for in the memory

For instance, here is one of our usecases: suppose there are two 32G

What we have had to resort to is to constantly poll hugetlb usage and

(memory.low for e.g). However, this is rather cumbersome and buggy.
Furthermore, when there is a delay in memory limits correction, (for e.g

agent), the system could be in an over/underprotected state.
This patch series rectifies this issue by charging the memcg when the
hugetlb folio is allocated, and uncharging when the folio is freed. In
addition, a new selftest is added to demonstrate and verify this new
behavior.
This patch (of 4):
This patch exposes charge committing and cancelling as parts of the memory
controller interface. These functionalities are useful when the
try_charge() and commit_charge() stages have to be separated by other
actions in between (which can fail). One such example is the new hugetlb
accounting behavior in the following patch.
The patch also adds a helper function to obtain a reference to the
current task's memcg.

selftests: cgroup: fix test_kmem_memcg_deletion kernel mem check
...
Currently, memcg uses rstat to maintain aggregated hierarchical stats.
Counters are maintained for hierarchical stats at each memcg. Rstat
tracks which cgroups have updates on which cpus to keep those counters
fresh on the read-side.
Non-hierarchical stats are currently not covered by rstat. Their per-cpu
counters are summed up on every read, which is expensive. The original
implementation did the same. At some point before rstat, non-hierarchical
aggregated counters were introduced by commit a983b5ebee ("mm:
memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in memory.stat reporting"). However,
those counters were updated on the performance critical write-side, which
caused regressions, so they were later removed by commit 815744d751
("mm: memcontrol: don't batch updates of local VM stats and events"). See
[1] for more detailed history.
Kernel versions in between a983b5ebee & 815744d751 (a year and a half)
enjoyed cheap reads of non-hierarchical stats, specifically on cgroup v1.
When moving to more recent kernels, a performance regression for reading
non-hierarchical stats is observed.
Now that we have rstat, we know exactly which percpu counters have updates
for each stat. We can maintain non-hierarchical counters again, making
reads much more efficient, without affecting the performance critical
write-side. Hence, add non-hierarchical (i.e local) counters for the
stats, and extend rstat flushing to keep those up-to-date.
A caveat is that we now need a stats flush before reading
local/non-hierarchical stats through {memcg/lruvec}_page_state_local() or
memcg_events_local(), where we previously only needed a flush to read
hierarchical stats. Most contexts reading non-hierarchical stats are
already doing a flush, add a flush to the only missing context in
count_shadow_nodes().
With this patch, reading memory.stat from 1000 memcgs is 3x faster on a
machine with 256 cpus on cgroup v1:
# for i in $(seq 1000); do mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cg$i; done
# time cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cg*/memory.stat > /dev/null
real 0m0.125s
user 0m0.005s
sys 0m0.120s
After:
real 0m0.032s
user 0m0.005s
sys 0m0.027s
To make sure there are no regressions on cgroup v2, I ran an artificial
reclaim/refault stress test [2] that creates (NR_CPUS * 2) cgroups,
assigns them limits, runs a worker process in each cgroup that allocates
tmpfs memory equal to quadruple the limit (to invoke reclaim
continuously), and then reads back the entire file (to invoke refaults).
All workers are run in parallel, and zram is used as a swapping backend.
Both reclaim and refault have conditional stats flushing. I ran this on a
machine with 112 cpus, once on mm-unstable, and once on mm-unstable with
this patch reverted.

No regressions are observed with this patch. There is actually a very
slight improvement. If I have to guess, maybe it's because we avoid
the percpu loop in count_shadow_nodes() when calling
lruvec_page_state_local(), but I could not prove this using perf, it's
probably in the noise.

Now there are two indicators of socket memory pressure sit inside
struct mem_cgroup, socket_pressure and tcpmem_pressure, indicating
memory reclaim pressure in memcg->memory and ->tcpmem respectively.
When in legacy mode (cgroupv1), the socket memory is charged into
->tcpmem which is independent of ->memory, so socket_pressure has
nothing to do with socket's pressure at all. Things could be worse
by taking socket_pressure into consideration in legacy mode, as a
pressure in ->memory can lead to premature reclamation/throttling
in socket.
While for the default mode (cgroupv2), the socket memory is charged
into ->memory, and ->tcpmem/->tcpmem_pressure are simply not used.
So {socket,tcpmem}_pressure are only used in default/legacy mode
respectively for indicating socket memory pressure. This patch fixes
the pieces of code that make mixed use of both.
