Subject: [PATCH v4 29/31] mm: memcontrol: prepare for reparenting non-hierarchical stats
Date: Thu,  5 Feb 2026 17:01:48 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3ca234c643ecb484f17aa88187e0bce8949bdb6b.1770279888.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1770279888.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()
3. change these non-hierarchical stats to atomic_long_t type to avoid race
   between mem_cgroup_stat_aggregate() and reparent_state_local()
