Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 00/35] bpf: switch to memcg-based memory accounting
Currently bpf is using the memlock rlimit for the memory accounting.
This approach has its downsides and over time has created a significant
amount of problems:
1) The limit is per-user, but because most bpf operations are performed
as root, the limit has a little value.
2) It's hard to come up with a specific maximum value. Especially because
the counter is shared with non-bpf users (e.g. memlock() users).
Any specific value is either too low and creates false failures
or too high and useless.
3) Charging is not connected to the actual memory allocation. Bpf code
should manually calculate the estimated cost and precharge the counter,
and then take care of uncharging, including all fail paths.
It adds to the code complexity and makes it easy to leak a charge.
4) There is no simple way of getting the current value of the counter.
We've used drgn for it, but it's far from being convenient.
5) Cryptic -EPERM is returned on exceeding the limit. Libbpf even had
a function to "explain" this case for users.
In order to overcome these problems let's switch to the memcg-based
memory accounting of bpf objects. With the recent addition of the percpu
memory accounting, now it's possible to provide a comprehensive accounting
of memory used by bpf programs and maps.
This approach has the following advantages:
1) The limit is per-cgroup and hierarchical. It's way more flexible and allows
a better control over memory usage by different workloads.
2) The actual memory consumption is taken into account. It happens automatically
on the allocation time if __GFP_ACCOUNT flags is passed. Uncharging is also
performed automatically on releasing the memory. So the code on the bpf side
becomes simpler and safer.
3) There is a simple way to get the current value and statistics.
The patchset consists of the following parts:
1) memcg-based accounting for various bpf objects: progs and maps
2) removal of the rlimit-based accounting
3) removal of rlimit adjustments in userspace tools and tests
