mm: fork: fix kernel_stack memcg stats for various stack implementations

2020-03-29T16:47:05+00:00

Depending on CONFIG_VMAP_STACK and the THREAD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE ratio the
space for task stacks can be allocated using __vmalloc_node_range(),
alloc_pages_node() and kmem_cache_alloc_node().

In the first and the second cases page->mem_cgroup pointer is set, but
in the third it's not: memcg membership of a slab page should be
determined using the memcg_from_slab_page() function, which looks at
page->slab_cache->memcg_params.memcg .  In this case, using
mod_memcg_page_state() (as in account_kernel_stack()) is incorrect:
page->mem_cgroup pointer is NULL even for pages charged to a non-root
memory cgroup.

It can lead to kernel_stack per-memcg counters permanently showing 0 on
some architectures (depending on the configuration).

In order to fix it, let's introduce a mod_memcg_obj_state() helper,
which takes a pointer to a kernel object as a first argument, uses
mem_cgroup_from_obj() to get a RCU-protected memcg pointer and calls
mod_memcg_state().  It allows to handle all possible configurations
(CONFIG_VMAP_STACK and various THREAD_SIZE/PAGE_SIZE values) without
spilling any memcg/kmem specifics into fork.c .

Note: This is a special version of the patch created for stable
backports.  It contains code from the following two patches:
  - mm: memcg/slab: introduce mem_cgroup_from_obj()
  - mm: fork: fix kernel_stack memcg stats for various stack implementations

mm, memcg: throttle allocators based on ancestral memory.high

2020-03-22T01:56:06+00:00

Prior to this commit, we only directly check the affected cgroup's
memory.high against its usage.  However, it's possible that we are being
reclaimed as a result of hitting an ancestor memory.high and should be
penalised based on that, instead.

This patch changes memory.high overage throttling to use the largest
overage in its ancestors when considering how many penalty jiffies to
charge.  This makes sure that we penalise poorly behaving cgroups in the
same way regardless of at what level of the hierarchy memory.high was
breached.

mm, memcg: fix corruption on 64-bit divisor in memory.high throttling

2020-03-22T01:56:06+00:00

Commit 0e4b01df8659 had a bunch of fixups to use the right division
method.  However, it seems that after all that it still wasn't right --
div_u64 takes a 32-bit divisor.

The headroom is still large (2^32 pages), so on mundane systems you
won't hit this, but this should definitely be fixed.

memcg: fix NULL pointer dereference in __mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event

2020-03-22T01:56:06+00:00

An eventfd monitors multiple memory thresholds of the cgroup, closes them,
the kernel deletes all events related to this eventfd.  Before all events
are deleted, another eventfd monitors the memory threshold of this cgroup,
leading to a crash:

We can reproduce this problem in the following ways:

1. We create a new cgroup subdirectory and a new eventfd, and then we
   monitor multiple memory thresholds of the cgroup through this eventfd.

2.  closing this eventfd, and __mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event ()
   will be called multiple times to delete all events related to this
   eventfd.

The first time __mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event() is called, the
kernel will clear all items related to this eventfd in thresholds->
primary.

Since there is currently only one eventfd, thresholds-> primary becomes
empty, so the kernel will set thresholds-> primary and hresholds-> spare
to NULL.  If at this time, the user creates a new eventfd and monitor
the memory threshold of this cgroup, kernel will re-initialize
thresholds-> primary.

Then when __mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event () is called for the
second time, because thresholds-> primary is not empty, the system will
access thresholds-> spare, but thresholds-> spare is NULL, which will
trigger a crash.

In general, the longer it takes to delete all events related to this
eventfd, the easier it is to trigger this problem.

The solution is to check whether the thresholds associated with the
eventfd has been cleared when deleting the event.  If so, we do nothing.

net: memcg: late association of sock to memcg

2020-03-10T22:33:05+00:00

If a TCP socket is allocated in IRQ context or cloned from unassociated
(i.e. not associated to a memcg) in IRQ context then it will remain
unassociated for its whole life. Almost half of the TCPs created on the
system are created in IRQ context, so, memory used by such sockets will
not be accounted by the memcg.

This issue is more widespread in cgroup v1 where network memory
accounting is opt-in but it can happen in cgroup v2 if the source socket
for the cloning was created in root memcg.

To fix the issue, just do the association of the sockets at the accept()
time in the process context and then force charge the memory buffer
already used and reserved by the socket.

cgroup: memcg: net: do not associate sock with unrelated cgroup

2020-03-10T22:33:05+00:00

We are testing network memory accounting in our setup and noticed
inconsistent network memory usage and often unrelated cgroups network
usage correlates with testing workload. On further inspection, it
seems like mem_cgroup_sk_alloc() and cgroup_sk_alloc() are broken in
irq context specially for cgroup v1.

mem_cgroup_sk_alloc() and cgroup_sk_alloc() can be called in irq context
and kind of assumes that this can only happen from sk_clone_lock()
and the source sock object has already associated cgroup. However in
cgroup v1, where network memory accounting is opt-in, the source sock
can be unassociated with any cgroup and the new cloned sock can get
associated with unrelated interrupted cgroup.

Cgroup v2 can also suffer if the source sock object was created by
process in the root cgroup or if sk_alloc() is called in irq context.
The fix is to just do nothing in interrupt.

WARNING: Please note that about half of the TCP sockets are allocated
from the IRQ context, so, memory used by such sockets will not be
accouted by the memcg.

Compound pages handling in mem_cgroup_migrate is more convoluted than

hpage_nr_pages is already PageTransHuge aware.

It is much simpler to just use hpage_nr_pages for nr_pages and replace
the local variable by PageTransHuge check directly

If compound is true, this means it is a PMD mapped THP.  Which implies
the page is not linked to any defer list.  So the first code chunk will
not be executed.

Also with this reason, it would not be proper to add this page to a
defer list.  So the second code chunk is not correct.

Based on this, we should remove the defer list related code.

mm: memcg/slab: fix percpu slab vmstats flushing

2020-01-14T02:19:02+00:00

Currently slab percpu vmstats are flushed twice: during the memcg
offlining and just before freeing the memcg structure.  Each time percpu
counters are summed, added to the atomic counterparts and propagated up
by the cgroup tree.

The second flushing is required due to how recursive vmstats are
implemented: counters are batched in percpu variables on a local level,
and once a percpu value is crossing some predefined threshold, it spills
over to atomic values on the local and each ascendant levels.  It means
that without flushing some numbers cached in percpu variables will be
dropped on floor each time a cgroup is destroyed.  And with uptime the
error on upper levels might become noticeable.

The first flushing aims to make counters on ancestor levels more
precise.  Dying cgroups may resume in the dying state for a long time.
After kmem_cache reparenting which is performed during the offlining
slab counters of the dying cgroup don't have any chances to be updated,
because any slab operations will be performed on the parent level.  It
means that the inaccuracy caused by percpu batching will not decrease up
to the final destruction of the cgroup.  By the original idea flushing
slab counters during the offlining should minimize the visible
inaccuracy of slab counters on the parent level.

The problem is that percpu counters are not zeroed after the first
flushing.  So every cached percpu value is summed twice.  It creates a
small error (up to 32 pages per cpu, but usually less) which accumulates
on parent cgroup level.  After creating and destroying of thousands of
child cgroups, slab counter on parent level can be way off the real
value.

For now, let's just stop flushing slab counters on memcg offlining.  It
can't be done correctly without scheduling a work on each cpu: reading
and zeroing it during css offlining can race with an asynchronous
update, which doesn't expect values to be changed underneath.

With this change, slab counters on parent level will become eventually
consistent.  Once all dying children are gone, values are correct.  And
if not, the error is capped by 32 * NR_CPUS pages per dying cgroup.

It's not perfect, as slab are reparented, so any updates after the
reparenting will happen on the parent level.  It means that if a slab
page was allocated, a counter on child level was bumped, then the page
was reparented and freed, the annihilation of positive and negative
counter values will not happen until the child cgroup is released.  It
makes slab counters different from others, and it might want us to
implement flushing in a correct form again.  But it's also a question of
performance: scheduling a work on each cpu isn't free, and it's an open
question if the benefit of having more accurate counters is worth it.

We might also consider flushing all counters on offlining, not only slab
counters.

So let's fix the main problem now: make the slab counters eventually
consistent, so at least the error won't grow with uptime (or more
precisely the number of created and destroyed cgroups).  And think about
the accuracy of counters separately.
