[PATCH -mm 08/14] memcg: release memcg_cache_id on css offline

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

 



The memcg_cache_id (mem_cgroup->kmemcg_id) is used as the index in root
cache's memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches array. Whenever a new kmem
active cgroup is created we must allocate an id for it. As a result, the
array size must always be greater than or equal to the number of memory
cgroups that have memcg_cache_id assigned to them.

Currently we release the id only on css free. This is bad, because css
can be zombieing around for quite a long time after css offline due to
pending charges, occupying an array slot and making the arrays grow
larger and larger. Although the number of arrays is limited - only root
kmem caches have them - we can still experience problems while creating
new kmem active cgroups, because they might require arrays relocation
and each array relocation will require costly high-order page
allocations if there are a lot of ids allocated. The situation will
become even worse when per-memcg list_lru's are introduced, because each
super block has a list_lru, and the number of super blocks is
practically unlimited.

This patch makes memcg release memcg_cache_id on css offline. The id of
a dead memcg is set to its parent cgroup's id. Currently ids are not
used after cgroup death so we could set it to -1, however, once per
memcg list_lru is introduced, we will have to deal with list_lru entries
accounted to the memcg somehow. I'm planning to move those entries to
parent cgroup's list_lru, so we have to set kmemcg_id appropriately.
