[PATCH v6 06/19] mm: memcg/slab: obj_cgroup API

Roman Gushchin
2020-06-09T01:05:43Z

Obj_cgroup API provides an ability to account sub-page sized kernel
objects, which potentially outlive the original memory cgroup.

The top-level API consists of the following functions:
bool obj_cgroup_tryget(struct obj_cgroup *objcg);
void obj_cgroup_get(struct obj_cgroup *objcg);
void obj_cgroup_put(struct obj_cgroup *objcg);

int obj_cgroup_charge(struct obj_cgroup *objcg, gfp_t gfp, size_t size);
void obj_cgroup_uncharge(struct obj_cgroup *objcg, size_t size);

struct mem_cgroup *obj_cgroup_memcg(struct obj_cgroup *objcg);
struct obj_cgroup *get_obj_cgroup_from_current(void);

Object cgroup is basically a pointer to a memory cgroup with a per-cpu
reference counter. It substitutes a memory cgroup in places where
it's necessary to charge a custom amount of bytes instead of pages.

All charged memory rounded down to pages is charged to the
corresponding memory cgroup using __memcg_kmem_charge().

It implements reparenting: on memcg offlining it's getting reattached
to the parent memory cgroup. Each online memory cgroup has an
associated active object cgroup to handle new allocations and the list
of all attached object cgroups. On offlining of a cgroup this list is
reparented and for each object cgroup in the list the memcg pointer is
swapped to the parent memory cgroup. It prevents long-living objects
from pinning the original memory cgroup in the memory.

The implementation is based on byte-sized per-cpu stocks. A sub-page
sized leftover is stored in an atomic field, which is a part of
obj_cgroup object. So on cgroup offlining the leftover is automatically
reparented.

memcg->objcg is rcu protected.
objcg->memcg is a raw pointer, which is always pointing at a memory
cgroup, but can be atomically swapped to the parent memory cgroup. So
the caller must ensure the lifetime of the cgroup, e.g. grab
rcu_read_lock or css_set_lock.
