mm: vmscan: fix dirty folios throttling on cgroup v1 for MGLRU
The balance_dirty_pages() won't do the dirty folios throttling on cgroupv1. See commit 9badce000e2c ("cgroup, writeback: don't enable cgroup writeback on traditional hierarchies"). Moreover, after commit 6b0dfabb3555 ("fs: Remove aops->writepage"), we no longer attempt to write back filesystem folios through reclaim. On large memory systems, the flusher may not be able to write back quickly enough. Consequently, MGLRU will encounter many folios that are already under writeback. Since we cannot reclaim these dirty folios, the system may run out of memory and trigger the OOM killer. Hence, for cgroup v1, let's throttle reclaim after waking up the flusher, which is similar to commit 81a70c21d917 ("mm/cgroup/reclaim: fix dirty pages throttling on cgroup v1"), to avoid unnecessary OOM. The following test program can easily reproduce the OOM issue. With this patch applied, the test passes successfully. $mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test $echo 256M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes $echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/cgroup.procs $dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/data.bin bs=1M count=800 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/3445af0f09e8ca945492e052e82594f8c4f2e2f6.1774606060.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com Fixes: ac35a4902374 ("mm: multi-gen LRU: minimal implementation") Signed-off-by: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> Reviewed-by: Barry Song <baohua@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Shakeel Butt <shakeel.butt@linux.dev> Cc: Axel Rasmussen <axelrasmussen@google.com> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@kernel.org> Cc: Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle) <ljs@kernel.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Cc: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com> Cc: Wei Xu <weixugc@google.com> Cc: Yuanchu Xie <yuanchu@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
