* memcg: new force_empty to free pages under groupKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By memcg-move-all-accounts-to-parent-at-rmdir.patch, there is no leak of memory usage and force_empty is removed. This patch adds "force_empty" again, in reasonable manner. memory.force_empty file works when #echo 0 (or some) > memory.force_empty and have following function. 1. only works when there are no task in this cgroup. 2. free all page under this cgroup as much as possible. 3. page which cannot be freed will be moved up to parent. 4. Then, memcg will be empty after above echo returns. This is much better behavior than old "force_empty" which just forget all accounts. This patch also check signal_pending() and above "echo" can be stopped by "Ctrl-C".

* memcg: move all acccounting to parent at rmdir()KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides a function to move account information of a page between mem_cgroups and rewrite force_empty to make use of this. This moving of page_cgroup is done under - lru_lock of source/destination mem_cgroup is held. - lock_page_cgroup() is held. Then, a routine which touches pc->mem_cgroup without lock_page_cgroup() should confirm pc->mem_cgroup is still valid or not. Typical code can be following. (while page is not under lock_page()) mem = pc->mem_cgroup; mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc) spin_lock_irqsave(&mz->lru_lock); if (pc->mem_cgroup == mem) ...../* some list handling */ spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mz->lru_lock); Of course, better way is lock_page_cgroup(pc); .... unlock_page_cgroup(pc); But you should confirm the nest of lock and avoid deadlock. If you treats page_cgroup from mem_cgroup's LRU under mz->lru_lock, you don't have to worry about what pc->mem_cgroup points to. moved pages are added to head of lru, not to tail. Expected users of this routine is: - force_empty (rmdir) - moving tasks between cgroup (for moving account information.) - hierarchy (maybe useful.) force_empty(rmdir) uses this move_account and move pages to its parent. This "move" will not cause OOM (I added "oom" parameter to try_charge().) If the parent is busy (not enough memory), force_empty calls try_to_free_page() and reduce usage. Purpose of this behavior is - Fix "forget all" behavior of force_empty and avoid leak of accounting. - By "moving first, free if necessary", keep pages on memory as much as possible. Adding a switch to change behavior of force_empty to - free first, move if necessary - free all, if there is mlocked/busy pages, return -EBUSY. is under consideration. (I'll add if someone requtests.) This patch also removes memory.force_empty file, a brutal debug-only interface.

* memcg: do not recalculate section unnecessarily in init_section_page_cgroupFernando Luis Vazquez Cao2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In init_section_page_cgroup() the section a given pfn belongs to is calculated at the top of the function and, despite the fact that the pfn/section correspondence does not change, it is recalculated further down the same function. By computing this just once and reusing that value we save some bytes in the object file and do not waste CPU cycles.

* memcg: simple migration handlingKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now, management of "charge" under page migration is done under following manner. (Assume migrate page contents from oldpage to newpage) before - "newpage" is charged before migration. at success. - "oldpage" is uncharged at somewhere(unmap, radix-tree-replace) at failure - "newpage" is uncharged. - "oldpage" is charged if necessary (*1) But (*1) is not reliable....because of GFP_ATOMIC. This patch tries to change behavior as following by charge/commit/cancel ops. before - charge PAGE_SIZE (no target page) success - commit charge against "newpage". failure - commit charge against "oldpage". (PCG_USED bit works effectively to avoid double-counting) - if "oldpage" is obsolete, cancel charge of PAGE_SIZE.

* memcg: fix gfp_mask of callers of chargeKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix misuse of gfp_kernel. Now, most of callers of mem_cgroup_charge_xxx functions uses GFP_KERNEL. I think that this is from the fact that page_cgroup *was* dynamically allocated. But now, we allocate all page_cgroup at boot. And mem_cgroup_try_to_free_pages() reclaim memory from GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE + specified GFP_RECLAIM_MASK. * This is because we just want to reduce memory usage. "Where we should reclaim from ?" is not a problem in memcg. This patch modifies gfp masks to be GFP_HIGUSER_MOVABLE if possible. Note: This patch is not for fixing behavior but for showing sane information in source code.

* memcg: introduce charge-commit-cancel style of functionsKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a small race in do_swap_page(). When the page swapped-in is charged, the mapcount can be greater than 0. But, at the same time some process (shares it ) call unmap and make mapcount 1->0 and the page is uncharged. CPUA CPUB mapcount == 1. (1) charge if mapcount==0 zap_pte_range() (2) mapcount 1 => 0. (3) uncharge(). (success) (4) set page's rmap() mapcount 0=>1 Then, this swap page's account is leaked. For fixing this, I added a new interface. - charge account to res_counter by PAGE_SIZE and try to free pages if necessary. - commit register page_cgroup and add to LRU if necessary. - cancel uncharge PAGE_SIZE because of do_swap_page failure. CPUA (1) charge (always) (2) set page's rmap (mapcount > 0) (3) commit charge was necessary or not after set_pte(). This protocol uses PCG_USED bit on page_cgroup for avoiding over accounting. Usual mem_cgroup_charge_common() does charge -> commit at a time. And this patch also adds following function to clarify all charges. - mem_cgroup_newpage_charge() ....replacement for mem_cgroup_charge() called against newly allocated anon pages. - mem_cgroup_charge_migrate_fixup() called only from remove_migration_ptes(). we'll have to rewrite this later.(this patch just keeps old behavior) This function will be removed by additional patch to make migration clearer. Good for clarifying "what we do" Then, we have 4 following charge points. - newpage - swap-in - add-to-cache. - migration.

Thus any cgroup reference obtained from an RCU-safe source will remain valid during the RCU section. Since dentries are also RCU-safe, this allows us to traverse up the tree safely. Additionally, make cgroup_path() check for a NULL cgrp->dentry to avoid trying to report a path for a partially-created cgroup.

* ext3: allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock separatelyPekka Enberg2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext3_sb_info is 17152 bytes on 64-bit which makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators. The culprit of the wasted memory is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when NR_CPUS >= 32. To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2 page in the worst case, separately. This shinks down struct ext3_sb_info enough to fit a 1 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 1 KB instead of 32 KB saving 15 KB of memory.

* jbd: improve fsync batchingJosef Bacik2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a flaw with the way jbd handles fsync batching. If we fsync() a file and we were not the last person to run fsync() on this fs then we automatically sleep for 1 jiffie in order to wait for new writers to join into the transaction before forcing the commit. The problem with this is that with really fast storage (ie a Clariion) the time it takes to commit a transaction to disk is way faster than 1 jiffie in most cases, so sleeping means waiting longer with nothing to do than if we just committed the transaction and kept going. Ric Wheeler noticed this when using fs_mark with more than 1 thread, the throughput would plummet as he added more threads. This patch attempts to fix this problem by recording the average time in nanoseconds that it takes to commit a transaction to disk, and what time we started the transaction. If we run an fsync() and we have been running for less time than it takes to commit the transaction to disk, we sleep for the delta amount of time and then commit to disk. We acheive sub-jiffie sleeping using schedule_hrtimeout. This means that the wait time is auto-tuned to the speed of the underlying disk, instead of having this static timeout. I weighted the average according to somebody's comments (Andreas Dilger I think) in order to help normalize random outliers where we take way longer or way less time to commit than the average. I also have a min() check in there to make sure we don't sleep longer than a jiffie in case our storage is super slow, this was requested by Andrew. I unfortunately do not have access to a Clariion, so I had to use a ramdisk to represent a super fast array. I tested with a SATA drive with barrier=1 to make sure there was no regression with local disks, I tested with a 4 way multipathed Apple Xserve RAID array and of course the ramdisk. I ran the following command fs_mark -d /mnt/ext3-test -s 4096 -n 2000 -D 64 -t $i where $i was 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32. I mkfs'ed the fs each time.

Quite a few 64-bit architectures are using `long' for their s64/u64 types. We should convert them all to `long long'. Update types.h so we use unsigned long long for u64 and fix all warnings in sparc64 code. Tested with an allnoconfig, defconfig and allmodconfig builds. This patch introduces additional warnings in several drivers. These will be dealt with in separate patches.
