[-mm PATCH 0/9] Memory controller introduction (v4)

[-mm PATCH 0/9] Memory controller introduction (v4)

[Balbir Singh]

Here's version 4 of the memory controller.

Changelog since version 3

1. Ported to v11 of the containers patchset (2.6.23-rc1-mm1). Paul Menage
   helped immensely with a detailed review of v3
2. Reclaim is retried to allow reclaim of pages coming in as a result
   of mapped pages reclaim (swap cache growing as a result of RSS reclaim)
3. page_referenced() is now container aware. During container reclaim,
   references from other containers do not prevent a page from being
   reclaimed from a non-referencing container
4. Fixed a possible race condition spotted by YAMAMOTO Takashi

Changelog since version 2

1. Improved error handling in mm/memory.c (spotted by YAMAMOTO Takashi)
2. Test results included
3. try_to_free_mem_container_pages() bug fix (sc->may_writepage is now
   set to !laptop_mode)

Changelog since version 1

1. Fixed some compile time errors (in mm/migrate.c from Vaidyanathan S)
2. Fixed a panic seen when LIST_DEBUG is enabled
3. Added a mechanism to control whether we track page cache or both
   page cache and mapped pages (as requested by Pavel)
4. Dave Hansen provided detail review comments on the code.

This patchset implements another version of the memory controller. These
patches have been through a big churn, the first set of patches were posted
last year and earlier this year at
	http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/19/10

This patchset draws from the patches listed above and from some of the
contents of the patches posted by Vaidyanathan for page cache control.
	http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/20/92

At OLS, the resource management BOF, it was discussed that we need to manage
RSS and unmapped page cache together. This patchset is a step towards that

TODO's

1. Add memory controller water mark support. Reclaim on high water mark
2. Add support for shrinking on limit change
3. Add per zone per container LRU lists (this is being actively worked
   on by Pavel Emelianov)
4. Figure out a better CLUI for the controller
5. Add better statistics
6. Explore using read_unit64() as recommended by Paul Menage
   (NOTE: read_ulong() would also be nice to have)

In case you have been using/testing the RSS controller, you'll find that
this controller works slower than the RSS controller. The reason being
that both swap cache and page cache is accounted for, so pages do go
out to swap upon reclaim (they cannot live in the swap cache).

Any test output, feedback, comments, suggestions are welcome! I am committed
to fixing any bugs and improving the performance of the memory controller.
Do not hesitate to send any fixes, request for fixes that is required.

Using the patches

1. Enable Memory controller configuration
2. Compile and boot the new kernel
3. mount -t container container -o mem_container /container
   will mount the memory controller to the /container mount point
4. mkdir /container/a
5. echo $$ > /container/a/tasks (add tasks to the new container)
6. echo -n <num_pages> > /container/a/mem_limit
   example
   echo -n 204800 > /container/a/mem_limit, sets the limit to 800 MB
   on a system with 4K page size
7. run tasks, see the memory controller work
8. Report results, provide feedback
9. Develop/use new patches and go to step 1

Test Results

Results for version 3 of the patch were posted at
http://lwn.net/Articles/242554/

The code was also tested on a power box with regular machine usage scenarios,
the config disabled and with a stress suite that touched all the memory
in the system and was limited in a container.

[-mm PATCH 1/9] Memory controller resource counters (v4)

[Balbir Singh]

From: Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>

Introduce generic structures and routines for resource accounting.

Each resource accounting container is supposed to aggregate it,
container_subsystem_state and its resource-specific members within.

[-mm PATCH 2/9] Memory controller containers setup (v4)

[Balbir Singh]

Changelong
1. use depends instead of select in init/Kconfig
2. Port to v11
3. Clean up the usage of names (container files) for v11

Setup the memory container and add basic hooks and controls to integrate
and work with the container.

[-mm PATCH 3/9] Memory controller accounting setup (v4)

[Balbir Singh]

From: Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>
Changelog

As per Paul's review comments

1. Drop css_get() for the root memory container
2. Use mem_container_from_task() as an optimization instead of using
   mem_container_from_cont() along with task_container.

Basic setup routines, the mm_struct has a pointer to the container that
it belongs to and the the page has a meta_page associated with it.

[-mm PATCH 4/9] Memory controller memory accounting (v4)

[Balbir Singh]

Changelog for v3

1. Fix a probable leak with meta_page's (pointed out by Paul Menage)
2. Introduce a wrapper around mem_container_uncharge for uncharging pages
   mem_container_uncharge_page()

Changelog

1. Improved error handling, uncharge on errors and check to see if we are
   leaking pages (review by YAMAMOTO Takashi)

Add the accounting hooks. The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page
Cache (unmapped) pages. There is now a common limit and accounting for both.
The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap()
time. Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(),
__delete_from_page_cache(). Swap cache is also accounted for.

Each page's meta_page is protected with a bit in page flags, this makes
handling of race conditions involving simultaneous mappings of a page easier.
A reference count is kept in the meta_page to deal with cases where a page
might be unmapped from the RSS of all tasks, but still lives in the page
cache.

Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work
of the meta page. Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help from
Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.

[-mm PATCH 6/9] Memory controller add per container LRU and reclaim (v4)

[Balbir Singh]

Changelog since v3
1. Added reclaim retry logic to avoid being OOM'ed due to pages from
   swap cache (coming in due to reclaim) don't overwhelm the container.

Changelog
1. Fix probable NULL pointer dereference based on review comments
   by YAMAMOTO Takashi

Add the meta_page to the per container LRU. The reclaim algorithm has been
modified to make the isolate_lru_pages() as a pluggable component. The
scan_control data structure now accepts the container on behalf of which
reclaims are carried out. try_to_free_pages() has been extended to become
container aware.

One does not need explicit lockdep annotations unless there is a non
obvious use of the locks. A typical example of that would be the inode
locks, that get placed differently in the various filesystem's locking
hierarchy and might hence seem to generate contradictory locking rules -
even though they are consistent within a particular filesystem.

So unless there are 2 or more distinct locking hierarchies this one lock
partakes in, there is no need for this annotation.

Was this patch driven by a lockdep report?

mem_cont->lru_lock protects the list and validity of mp.  If we hold
mem_cont->lru_lock for this entire loop, then we preserve the validity
of mp.  However that will be holding up container charge and uncharge.

This entire routing is called with zone->lru_lock held by the caller.
 So within a zone, this routine is serialized.

However page uncharge may race with isolate page.  But will that lead
to any corruption of the list?  We may be holding the lock for too
much time just to be on the safe side.

Please allow us some time to verify whether this is indeed inadequate
locking that will lead to corruption of the list.

Thanks for pointing out this situation.

I did few runs and checked for ref_cnt on meta_page and there seems to
be a race between isolate pages and uncharge.  We will probably have
to increase the ref_cnt on meta_page while we are isolating it.  I am
trying to see if we can solve the problem by manipulating the ref_cnt
on the meta_page.

[-mm PATCH 7/9] Memory controller OOM handling (v4)

[Balbir Singh]

From: Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>

Out of memory handling for containers over their limit. A task from the
container over limit is chosen using the existing OOM logic and killed.

TODO:
1. As discussed in the OLS BOF session, consider implementing a user
space policy for OOM handling.

[-mm PATCH 8/9] Memory controller add switch to control what type of pages to limit (v4)

[Balbir Singh]

Choose if we want cached pages to be accounted or not. By default both
are accounted for. A new set of tunables are added.

echo -n 1 > mem_control_type

switches the accounting to account for only mapped pages

echo -n 2 > mem_control_type

switches the behaviour back

MEM_CONTAINER_TYPE_ALL is 3, not 2.

what's MEM_CONTAINER_TYPE_CACHED, btw?
it seems that nothing distinguishes it from MEM_CONTAINER_TYPE_MAPPED.

The important types are currently MEM_CONTAINER_TYPE_MAPPED and MEM_CONTAINER_TYPE_ALL.
I added the types for future use (may be for finer accounting of types, later).

[-mm PATCH 9/9] Memory controller make page_referenced() container aware (v4)

[Balbir Singh]

Make page_referenced() container aware. Without this patch, page_referenced()
can cause a page to be skipped while reclaiming pages. This patch
ensures that other containers do not hold pages in a particular container
hostage. It is required to ensure that shared pages are freed from a container
when they are not actively referenced from the container that brought
them in

If already discussed, the pointer to log is helpful.

Sorry....Ignore above question.
I didn't understand what mem_container_charge() accounts and limits.
It controls # of meta_pages.

Hi Kame,

Actually the number of pages resident in memory brought in by a
container is charged.  However each such page will have a meta_page
allocated to keep the extra data.

Yes, the accounting counts the number of meta_page which is same as
the number of mapped and unmapped (pagecache) pages brought into the
system memory by this container.  Whether pagecache pages should be
included or not is configurable per container through the 'type' file
in containerfs.
