From: Sha Zhengju <handai.szj@xxxxxxxxxx>
After removing duplicated information like PCG_*
flags in 'struct page_cgroup'(commit 2ff76f1193), there's a problem
between "move" and "page stat accounting"(only FILE_MAPPED is supported
now but other stats will be added in future):
assume CPU-A does "page stat accounting" and CPU-B does "move"
CPU-A CPU-B
TestSet PG_dirty
(delay) move_lock_mem_cgroup()
if (PageDirty(page)) {
old_memcg->nr_dirty --
new_memcg->nr_dirty++
}
pc->mem_cgroup = new_memcg;
move_unlock_mem_cgroup()
move_lock_mem_cgroup()
memcg = pc->mem_cgroup
memcg->nr_dirty++
move_unlock_mem_cgroup()
while accounting information of new_memcg may be double-counted. So we
use a bigger lock to solve this problem: (commit: 89c06bd52f)
move_lock_mem_cgroup() <-- mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
TestSetPageDirty(page)
update page stats (without any checks)
move_unlock_mem_cgroup() <-- mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
But this method also has its pros and cons: at present we use two layers
of lock avoidance(memcg_moving and memcg->moving_account) then spinlock
on memcg (see mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()), but the lock granularity
is a little bigger that not only the critical section but also some code
logic is in the range of locking which may be deadlock prone. As dirty
writeack stats are added, it gets into further difficulty with the page
cache radix tree lock and it seems that the lock requires nesting.
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/2/48)
So in order to make the lock simpler and clearer and also avoid the 'nesting'
problem, a choice may be:
(CPU-A does "page stat accounting" and CPU-B does "move")
CPU-A CPU-B
move_lock_mem_cgroup()
memcg = pc->mem_cgroup
TestSetPageDirty(page)
move_unlock_mem_cgroup()
move_lock_mem_cgroup()
if (PageDirty) {
old_memcg->nr_dirty --;
new_memcg->nr_dirty ++;
}
pc->mem_cgroup = new_memcg
move_unlock_mem_cgroup()
memcg->nr_dirty ++
For CPU-A, we save pc->mem_cgroup in a temporary variable just before
TestSetPageDirty inside move_lock and then update stats if the page is set
PG_dirty successfully. But CPU-B may do "moving" in advance that
"old_memcg->nr_dirty --" will make old_memcg->nr_dirty incorrect but
soon CPU-A will do "memcg->nr_dirty ++" finally that amend the stats.
