mm: memcontrol: fix false-positive VM_BUG_ON() on -rt

2015-06-10T23:43:43+00:00

On -rt, the VM_BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled()) triggers inside the memcg
swapout path because the spin_lock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock) in the
caller doesn't actually disable the hardware interrupts - which is fine,
because on -rt the tophalves run in process context and so we are still
safe from preemption while updating the statistics.

Remove the VM_BUG_ON() but keep the comment of what we rely on.

memcg: do not call reclaim if !__GFP_WAIT

2015-06-10T23:43:43+00:00

When trimming memcg consumption excess (see memory.high), we call
try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages without checking if we are allowed to sleep
in the current context, which can result in a deadlock.  Fix this.

mm: remove rest of ACCESS_ONCE() usages

2015-04-15T23:35:18+00:00

We converted some of the usages of ACCESS_ONCE to READ_ONCE in the mm/
tree since it doesn't work reliably on non-scalar types.

This patch removes the rest of the usages of ACCESS_ONCE, and use the new
READ_ONCE API for the read accesses.  This makes things cleaner, instead
of using separate/multiple sets of APIs.

memcg: remove obsolete comment

2015-04-15T23:35:16+00:00

Low and high watermarks, as they defined in the TODO to the mem_cgroup
struct, have already been implemented by Johannes, so remove the stale
comment.

memcg: zap mem_cgroup_lookup()

2015-04-15T23:35:16+00:00

mem_cgroup_lookup() is a wrapper around mem_cgroup_from_id(), which
checks that id != 0 before issuing the function call.  Today, there is
no point in this additional check apart from optimization, because there
is no css with id <= 0, so that css_from_id, called by
mem_cgroup_from_id, will return NULL for any id <= 0.

Since mem_cgroup_from_id is only called from mem_cgroup_lookup, let us
zap mem_cgroup_lookup, substituting calls to it with mem_cgroup_from_id
and moving the check if id > 0 to css_from_id.

memcg: print cgroup information when system panics due to panic_on_oom

2015-04-14T23:49:05+00:00

If kernel panics due to oom, caused by a cgroup reaching its limit, when
'compulsory panic_on_oom' is enabled, then we will only see that the OOM
happened because of "compulsory panic_on_oom is enabled" but this doesn't
tell the difference between mempolicy and memcg.  And dumping system wide
information is plain wrong and more confusing.  This patch provides the
information of the cgroup whose limit triggerred panic

memcg: disable hierarchy support if bound to the legacy cgroup hierarchy

2015-03-13T01:46:08+00:00

If the memory cgroup controller is initially mounted in the scope of the
default cgroup hierarchy and then remounted to a legacy hierarchy, it will
still have hierarchy support enabled, which is incorrect.  We should
disable hierarchy support if bound to the legacy cgroup hierarchy.

mm: memcontrol: use "max" instead of "infinity" in control knobs

2015-02-28T17:57:51+00:00

The memcg control knobs indicate the highest possible value using the
symbolic name "infinity", which is long and awkward to type.

Switch to the string "max", which is just as descriptive but shorter and
sweeter.

This changes a user interface, so do it before the release and before
the development flag is dropped from the default hierarchy.
