Subject: [PATCH v5 update 29/32] mm: memcontrol: prepare for reparenting non-hierarchical stats
Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2026 15:25:56 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260228072556.31793-1-qi.zheng@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ef13e5974343b37ae2a0e28aff03ea2d033cb888.1772005110.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>
From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>
To resolve the dying memcg issue, we need to reparent LRU folios of child
memcg to its parent memcg. This could cause problems for non-hierarchical
stats.
As Yosry Ahmed pointed out:
```
In short, if memory is charged to a dying cgroup at the time of
reparenting, when the memory gets uncharged the stats updates will occur
at the parent. This will update both hierarchical and non-hierarchical
stats of the parent, which would corrupt the parent's non-hierarchical
stats (because those counters were never incremented when the memory was
charged).
```
Now we have the following two types of non-hierarchical stats, and they
are only used in CONFIG_MEMCG_V1:
a. memcg->vmstats->state_local[i]
b. pn->lruvec_stats->state_local[i]
To ensure that these non-hierarchical stats work properly, we need to
reparent these non-hierarchical stats after reparenting LRU folios. To
this end, this commit makes the following preparations:
1. implement reparent_state_local() to reparent non-hierarchical stats
2. make css_killed_work_fn() to be called in rcu work, and implement
get_non_dying_memcg_start() and get_non_dying_memcg_end() to avoid race
between mod_memcg_state()/mod_memcg_lruvec_state()
and reparent_state_local()
