Subject: [PATCH 4/6] memcg: use new logic for page stat accounting.
Now, page-stat-per-memcg is recorded into per page_cgroup flag by
duplicating page's status into the flag. The reason is that memcg
has a feature to move a page from a group to another group and we
have race between "move" and "page stat accounting",
Under current logic, assume CPU-A and CPU-B. CPU-A does "move"
and CPU-B does "page stat accounting".
When CPU-A goes 1st,
CPU-A CPU-B
update "struct page" info.
move_lock_mem_cgroup(memcg)
see flags
copy page stat to new group
overwrite pc->mem_cgroup.
move_unlock_mem_cgroup(memcg)
move_lock_mem_cgroup(mem)
set pc->flags
update page stat accounting
move_unlock_mem_cgroup(mem)
stat accounting is guarded by move_lock_mem_cgroup() and "move"
logic (CPU-A) doesn't see changes in "struct page" information.
But it's costly to have the same information both in 'struct page' and
'struct page_cgroup'. And, there is a potential problem.
For example, assume we have PG_dirty accounting in memcg.
PG_..is a flag for struct page.
PCG_ is a flag for struct page_cgroup.
(This is just an example. The same problem can be found in any
kind of page stat accounting.)
CPU-A CPU-B
TestSet PG_dirty
(delay) TestClear PG_dirty_
if (TestClear(PCG_dirty))
memcg->nr_dirty--
if (TestSet(PCG_dirty))
memcg->nr_dirty++
Here, memcg->nr_dirty = +1, this is wrong.
This race was reported by Greg Thelen <gthelen@xxxxxxxxxx>.
Now, only FILE_MAPPED is supported but fortunately, it's serialized by
page table lock and this is not real bug, _now_,
If this potential problem is caused by having duplicated information in
struct page and struct page_cgroup, we may be able to fix this by using
original 'struct page' information.
But we'll have a problem in "move account"
Assume we use only PG_dirty.
CPU-A CPU-B
TestSet PG_dirty
(delay) move_lock_mem_cgroup()
if (PageDirty(page))
new_memcg->nr_dirty++
pc->mem_cgroup = new_memcg;
move_unlock_mem_cgroup()
move_lock_mem_cgroup()
memcg = pc->mem_cgroup
new_memcg->nr_dirty++
accounting information may be double-counted. This was original
reason to have PCG_xxx flags but it seems PCG_xxx has another problem.
I think we need a bigger lock as
move_lock_mem_cgroup(page)
TestSetPageDirty(page)
update page stats (without any checks)
move_unlock_mem_cgroup(page)
This fixes both of problems and we don't have to duplicate page flag
into page_cgroup. Please note: move_lock_mem_cgroup() is held
only when there are possibility of "account move" under the system.
So, in most path, status update will go without atomic locks.
This patch introduce mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() and
mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat() both should be called at modifying
'struct page' information if memcg takes care of it. as
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
modify page information
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
=> never check any 'struct page' info, just update counters.
mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat().
This patch is slow because we need to call begin_update_page_stat()/
end_update_page_stat() regardless of accounted will be changed or not.
A following patch adds an easy optimization and reduces the cost.
Changes since v3
