Subject: [PATCH v6 05/19] mm: memcontrol: decouple reference counting from page accounting
From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@...xchg.org>
The reference counting of a memcg is currently coupled directly to how
many 4k pages are charged to it. This doesn't work well with Roman's
new slab controller, which maintains pools of objects and doesn't want
to keep an extra balance sheet for the pages backing those objects.
This unusual refcounting design (reference counts usually track
pointers to an object) is only for historical reasons: memcg used to
not take any css references and simply stalled offlining until all
charges had been reparented and the page counters had dropped to
zero. When we got rid of the reparenting requirement, the simple
mechanical translation was to take a reference for every charge.
More historical context can be found in commit e8ea14cc6ead ("mm:
memcontrol: take a css reference for each charged page"),
commit 64f219938941 ("mm: memcontrol: remove obsolete kmemcg pinning
tricks") and commit b2052564e66d ("mm: memcontrol: continue cache
reclaim from offlined groups").
The new slab controller exposes the limitations in this scheme, so
let's switch it to a more idiomatic reference counting model based on
actual kernel pointers to the memcg:
- The per-cpu stock holds a reference to the memcg its caching
- User pages hold a reference for their page->mem_cgroup. Transparent
huge pages will no longer acquire tail references in advance, we'll
get them if needed during the split.
- Kernel pages hold a reference for their page->mem_cgroup
- Pages allocated in the root cgroup will acquire and release css
references for simplicity. css_get() and css_put() optimize that.
- The current memcg_charge_slab() already hacked around the per-charge
references; this change gets rid of that as well.
Roman:
1) Rebased on top of the current mm tree: added css_get() in
mem_cgroup_charge(), dropped mem_cgroup_try_charge() part
2) I've reformatted commit references in the commit log to make
checkpatch.pl happy.
