During memory reclaim we determine the number of pages to be scanned per zone as (anon + file) >> priority. Assume scan = (anon + file) >> priority. If scan < SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, the scan will be skipped for this time and priority gets higher. This has some problems. 1. This increases priority as 1 without any scan. To do scan in this priority, amount of pages should be larger than 512M. If pages>>priority < SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, it's recorded and scan will be batched, later. (But we lose 1 priority.) If memory size is below 16M, pages >> priority is 0 and no scan in DEF_PRIORITY forever. 2. If zone->all_unreclaimabe==true, it's scanned only when priority==0. So, x86's ZONE_DMA will never be recoverred until the user of pages frees memory by itself. 3. With memcg, the limit of memory can be small. When using small memcg, it gets priority < DEF_PRIORITY-2 very easily and need to call wait_iff_congested(). For doing scan before priorty=9, 64MB of memory should be used. Then, this patch tries to scan SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX of pages in force...when 1. the target is enough small. 2. it's kswapd or memcg reclaim. Then we can avoid rapid priority drop and may be able to recover all_unreclaimable in a small zones. And this patch removes nr_saved_scan. This will allow scanning in this priority even when pages >> priority is very small. Signed-off-by:

Presently, memory cgroup's direct reclaim frees memory from the current node. But this has some troubles. Usually when a set of threads works in a cooperative way, they tend to operate on the same node. So if they hit limits under memcg they will reclaim memory from themselves, damaging the active working set. For example, assume 2 node system which has Node 0 and Node 1 and a memcg which has 1G limit. After some work, file cache remains and the usages are Node 0: 1M Node 1: 998M. and run an application on Node 0, it will eat its foot before freeing unnecessary file caches. This patch adds round-robin for NUMA and adds equal pressure to each node. When using cpuset's spread memory feature, this will work very well. But yes, a better algorithm is needed.

Commit ca371c0d ("memcg: fix page_cgroup fatal error in FLATMEM") removes call to alloc_bootmem() in the function so that it can be marked as __meminit to reduce memory usage when MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n. Also as the new helper function alloc_page_cgroup() is called only in the function, it should be marked too. Signed-off-by:

next_mz is assigned to NULL if __mem_cgroup_largest_soft_limit_node selects the same mz. This doesn't make much sense as we assign to the variable right in the next loop. Compiler will probably optimize this out but it is little bit confusing for the code reading. Signed-off-by:

We recently added the change in global background reclaim which counts the return value of soft_limit reclaim. Now this patch adds the similar logic on global direct reclaim. We should skip scanning global LRU on shrink_zone if soft_limit reclaim does enough work. This is the first step where we start with counting the nr_scanned and nr_reclaimed from soft_limit reclaim into global scan_control. Signed-off-by:

The global kswapd scans per-zone LRU and reclaims pages regardless of the cgroup. It breaks memory isolation since one cgroup can end up reclaiming pages from another cgroup. Instead we should rely on memcg-aware target reclaim including per-memcg kswapd and soft_limit hierarchical reclaim under memory pressure. In the global background reclaim, we do soft reclaim before scanning the per-zone LRU. However, the return value is ignored. This patch is the first step to skip shrink_zone() if soft_limit reclaim does enough work. This is part of the effort which tries to reduce reclaiming pages in global LRU in memcg. The per-memcg background reclaim patchset further enhances the per-cgroup targetting reclaim, which I should have V4 posted shortly. Try running multiple memory intensive workloads within seperate memcgs. Watch the counters of soft_steal in memory.stat. $ cat /dev/cgroup/A/memory.stat | grep 'soft' soft_steal 240000 soft_scan 240000 total_soft_steal 240000 total_soft_scan 240000 This patch: In the global background reclaim, we do soft reclaim before scanning the per-zone LRU. However, the return value is ignored. We would like to skip shrink_zone() if soft_limit reclaim does enough work. Also, we need to make the memory pressure balanced across per-memcg zones, like the logic vm-core. This patch is the first step where we start with counting the nr_scanned and nr_reclaimed from soft_limit reclaim into the global scan_control. Signed-off-by:

The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and leads to some problems: * cgroup creation is out-of-control * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping * it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children', where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values. The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to the 'tasks' file. This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread: https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used. This is a userspace-visible change. Commit 45531757 ("cgroup: notify ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal. Since that time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this. Signed-off-by:

Convert cgroup_attach_proc to use flex_array. The cgroup_attach_proc implementation requires a pre-allocated array to store task pointers to atomically move a thread-group, but asking for a monolithic array with kmalloc() may be unreliable for very large groups. Using flex_array provides the same functionality with less risk of failure. This is a post-patch for cgroup-procs-write.patch. Signed-off-by:

Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when attaching an entire threadgroup. Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped (though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to attach_task and attach. This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch. Signed-off-by:

On most architectures division is an expensive operation and accessing an element currently requires four of them. This performance penalty effectively precludes flex arrays from being used on any kind of fast path. However, two of these divisions can be handled at creation time and the others can be replaced by a reciprocal divide, completely avoiding real divisions on access.
