Subject: [PATCH v1 bpf-next/net 7/8] net-memcg: Allow decoupling memcg from
 global protocol memory accounting.

Some protocols (e.g., TCP, UDP) implement memory accounting for socket
buffers and charge memory to per-protocol global counters pointed to by
sk->sk_proto->memory_allocated.

When running under a non-root cgroup, this memory is also charged to the
memcg as "sock" in memory.stat.

Even when a memcg controls memory usage, sockets of such protocols are
still subject to global limits (e.g., /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_mem).

This makes it difficult to accurately estimate and configure appropriate
global limits, especially in multi-tenant environments.

If all workloads were guaranteed to be controlled under memcg, the issue
could be worked around by setting tcp_mem[0~2] to UINT_MAX.

In reality, this assumption does not always hold, and processes not
controlled by memcg lose the seatbelt and can consume memory up to
the global limit, becoming noisy neighbour.

Let's decouple sockets in memcg from the global per-protocol memory
accounting if sockets have SK_BPF_MEMCG_SOCK_ISOLATED in sk->sk_memcg.

This simplifies memcg configuration while keeping the global limits
within a reasonable range.

If mem_cgroup_sk_isolated(sk) returns true, the per-protocol memory
accounting is skipped.

In __inet_accept(), we need to reclaim counts that are already charged
for child sockets because we do not allocate sk->sk_memcg until accept().

Note that trace_sock_exceed_buf_limit() will always show 0 as accounted
for the isolated sockets, but this can be obtained via memory.stat.

Tested with a script that creates local socket pairs and send()s a
bunch of data without recv()ing.

Setup:

  # mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
  # echo $$ >> /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.procs
  # sysctl -q net.ipv4.tcp_mem="1000 1000 1000"

Without bpf prog:

  # prlimit -n=524288:524288 bash -c "python3 pressure.py" &
  # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.stat | grep sock
  sock 22642688
  # cat /proc/net/sockstat| grep TCP

  # nstat | grep Pressure || echo no pressure
  TcpExtTCPMemoryPressures        1                  0.0
