even through d_lock can safely be taken, the result may no longer be what we
expect -- careful re-checks would be required). So just drop rcu in this case.

In the current implementation mem_cgroup_end_migration() decides whether
the page migration has succeeded or not by checking "oldpage->mapping".
But if we are tring to migrate a shmem swapcache, the page->mapping of it
is NULL from the begining, so the check would be invalid. As a result,
mem_cgroup_end_migration() assumes the migration has succeeded even if
it's not, so "newpage" would be freed while it's not uncharged.
This patch fixes it by passing mem_cgroup_end_migration() the result of
the page migration.

Commit b1dd693e ("memcg: avoid deadlock between move charge and

if cpuset and memcg are mounted onto the same mount point.
After the commit, cgroup_attach_task() has sequence like:
We can cause deadlock at (2) because we've already aquire the mmap_sem at (1).
But the commit itself is necessary to fix deadlocks which have existed
before the commit like:
Ex.1)
move charge | try charge
--------------------------------------+------------------------------
mem_cgroup_can_attach() | down_write(&mmap_sem)
mc.moving_task = current | ..
mem_cgroup_precharge_mc() | __mem_cgroup_try_charge()
mem_cgroup_count_precharge() | prepare_to_wait()
down_read(&mmap_sem) | if (mc.moving_task)

Ex.2)

down_read(&mmap_sem) | prepare_to_wait()
-> cannot aquire the lock | if (mc.moving_task)
| -> true
| schedule()
| -> move charge should wake it up
This patch fixes all of these problems by:
1. revert the commit.
2. To fix the Ex.1, we set mc.moving_task after mem_cgroup_count_precharge()
has released the mmap_sem.
3. To fix the Ex.2, we use down_read_trylock() instead of down_read() in
mem_cgroup_move_charge() and, if it has failed to aquire the lock, cancel
all extra charges, wake up all waiters, and retry trylock.

memcg: fix unit mismatch in memcg oom limit calculation
Adding the number of swap pages to the byte limit of a memory control
group makes no sense. Convert the pages to bytes before adding them.
The only user of this code is the OOM killer, and the way it is used means
that the error results in a higher OOM badness value. Since the cgroup
limit is the same for all tasks in the cgroup, the error should have no
practical impact at the moment.
But let's not wait for future or changing users to trip over it.
memcg: add lock to synchronize page accounting and migration
Introduce a new bit spin lock, PCG_MOVE_LOCK, to synchronize the page
accounting and migration code. This reworks the locking scheme of
_update_stat() and _move_account() by adding new lock bit PCG_MOVE_LOCK,
which is always taken under IRQ disable.
1. If pages are being migrated from a memcg, then updates to that
memcg page statistics are protected by grabbing PCG_MOVE_LOCK using
move_lock_page_cgroup(). In an upcoming commit, memcg dirty page
accounting will be updating memcg page accounting (specifically: num
writeback pages) from IRQ context (softirq). Avoid a deadlocking
nested spin lock attempt by disabling irq on the local processor when
grabbing the PCG_MOVE_LOCK.
2. lock for update_page_stat is used only for avoiding race with
move_account(). So, IRQ awareness of lock_page_cgroup() itself is not
a problem. The problem is between mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() and
mem_cgroup_move_account_page().
Trade-off:
* Changing lock_page_cgroup() to always disable IRQ (or
local_bh) has some impacts on performance and I think
it's bad to disable IRQ when it's not necessary.
* adding a new lock makes move_account() slower. Score is
here.
Performance Impact: moving a 8G anon process.

memcg: add page_cgroup flags for dirty page tracking
This patchset provides the ability for each cgroup to have independent
dirty page limits.
Limiting dirty memory is like fixing the max amount of dirty (hard to
reclaim) page cache used by a cgroup. So, in case of multiple cgroup
writers, they will not be able to consume more than their designated share
of dirty pages and will be forced to perform write-out if they cross that
limit.
The patches are based on a series proposed by Andrea Righi in Mar 2010.
Overview:
- Add page_cgroup flags to record when pages are dirty, in writeback, or nfs
unstable.
- Extend mem_cgroup to record the total number of pages in each of the
interesting dirty states (dirty, writeback, unstable_nfs).
- Add dirty parameters similar to the system-wide /proc/sys/vm/dirty_*
limits to mem_cgroup. The mem_cgroup dirty parameters are accessible
via cgroupfs control files.
- Consider both system and per-memcg dirty limits in page writeback when
deciding to queue background writeback or block for foreground writeback.
Known shortcomings:
- When a cgroup dirty limit is exceeded, then bdi writeback is employed to
writeback dirty inodes. Bdi writeback considers inodes from any cgroup, not
just inodes contributing dirty pages to the cgroup exceeding its limit.
- When memory.use_hierarchy is set, then dirty limits are disabled. This is a
implementation detail. An enhanced implementation is needed to check the
chain of parents to ensure that no dirty limit is exceeded.
Performance data:
- A page fault microbenchmark workload was used to measure performance, which
can be called in read or write mode:
f = open(foo. $cpu)
truncate(f, 4096)
alarm(60)
while (1) {
p = mmap(f, 4096)
if (write)
*p = 1
else
x = *p
munmap(p)
}
- The workload was called for several points in the patch series in different
modes:
- s_read is a single threaded reader
- s_write is a single threaded writer
- p_read is a 16 thread reader, each operating on a different file
- p_write is a 16 thread writer, each operating on a different file
- Measurements were collected on a 16 core non-numa system using "perf stat
--repeat 3". The -a option was used for parallel (p_*) runs.
- All numbers are page fault rate (M/sec). Higher is better.
- To compare the performance of a kernel without non-memcg compare the first and
last rows, neither has memcg configured. The first row does not include any
of these memcg patches.
- To compare the performance of using memcg dirty limits, compare the baseline
(2nd row titled "w/ memcg") with the the code and memcg enabled (2nd to last
row titled "all patches").

For example, in a 4 socket 64 CPU system, create a sparse file and 64
processes, processes shared map to the file. Each process read access the
whole file and then exit. The process exit will do unmap_vmas() and cause
a lot of activate_page() call. In such workload, we saw about 58% total

Increased usage of page migration in mmotm reveals that the anon_vma
locking in unmap_and_move() has been deficient since 2.6.36 (or even
earlier). Review at the time of f18194275c39835cb84563500995e0d503a32d9a
("mm: fix hang on anon_vma->root->lock") missed the issue here: the
anon_vma to which we get a reference may already have been freed back to
its slab (it is in use when we check page_mapped, but that can change),
and so its anon_vma->root may be switched at any moment by reuse in
anon_vma_prepare.
Perhaps we could fix that with a get_anon_vma_unless_zero(), but let's
not: just rely on page_lock_anon_vma() to do all the hard thinking for us,
then we don't need any rcu read locking over here.
In removing the rcu_unlock label: since PageAnon is a bit in
page->mapping, it's impossible for a !page->mapping page to be anon; but
insert VM_BUG_ON in case the implementation ever changes.

hugetlb: fix handling of parse errors in sysfs
When parsing changes to the huge page pool sizes made from userspace via

Even if CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK is set in the kernel configuration, it can still

mm: migration: use rcu_dereference_protected when dereferencing the radix tree slot during file page migration
migrate_pages() -> unmap_and_move() only calls rcu_read_lock() for
anonymous pages, as introduced by git commit 989f89c57e6361e7d16fbd9572b5da7d313b073d ("fix rcu_read_lock() in page
migraton"). The point of the RCU protection there is part of getting a
stable reference to anon_vma and is only held for anon pages as file pages
are locked which is sufficient protection against freeing.
However, while a file page's mapping is being migrated, the radix tree is
double checked to ensure it is the expected page. This uses
radix_tree_deref_slot() -> rcu_dereference() without the RCU lock held
triggering the following warning.
This patch introduces radix_tree_deref_slot_protected() which calls
rcu_dereference_protected(). Users of it must pass in the
mapping->tree_lock that is protecting this dereference. Holding the tree
lock protects against parallel updaters of the radix tree meaning that
rcu_dereference_protected is allowable.
