[PATCH v5 3/4] mm/page_owner: Print memcg information

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It was found that a number of dying memcgs were not freed because
they were pinned by some charged pages that were present. Even "echo 1 >
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" wasn't able to free those pages. These dying
but not freed memcgs tend to increase in number over time with the side
effect that percpu memory consumption as shown in /proc/meminfo also
increases over time.

In order to find out more information about those pages that pin
dying memcgs, the page_owner feature is extended to print memory
cgroup information especially whether the cgroup is dying or not.
RCU read lock is taken when memcg is being accessed to make sure
that it won't be freed.
