From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: memcontrol: fix missed end-writeback page accounting
0a31bc97c80c ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API") changed page
migration to uncharge the old page right away. The page is locked,
unmapped, truncated, and off the LRU, but it could race with writeback
ending, which then doesn't unaccount the page properly:
test_clear_page_writeback() migration
wait_on_page_writeback()
TestClearPageWriteback()
mem_cgroup_migrate()
clear PCG_USED
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
if (PageCgroupUsed(pc))
decrease memcg pages under writeback
release pc->mem_cgroup->move_lock
The per-page statistics interface is heavily optimized to avoid a function
call and a lookup_page_cgroup() in the file unmap fast path, which means
it doesn't verify whether a page is still charged before clearing
PageWriteback() and it has to do it in the stat update later.
Rework it so that it looks up the page's memcg once at the beginning of
the transaction and then uses it throughout. The charge will be verified
before clearing PageWriteback() and migration can't uncharge the page as
long as that is still set. The RCU lock will protect the memcg past
uncharge.
As far as losing the optimization goes, the following test results are
from a microbenchmark that maps, faults, and unmaps a 4GB sparse file
three times in a nested fashion, so that there are two negative passes
that don't account but still go through the new transaction overhead.
There is no actual difference:
old: 33.195102545 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.01% )
new: 33.199231369 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.03% )
The time spent in page_remove_rmap()'s callees still adds up to the
same, but the time spent in the function itself seems reduced:
# Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol
old: 0.12% 0.11% filemapstress [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_remove_rmap
new: 0.12% 0.08% filemapstress [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_remove_rmap
